LGU Findings and Conclusions(attach additional sheets as necessaiy):
A wetland delineation at 2735 Deer Run Trail in Orono(PID#0411723130013)was performed by
Svoboda Ecological Resources on August 13,2012. The boundary&type were reviewed in the field on
October ]1,2012 by Minnehaha Creek Watershed Dish•ict(MCWD)staff. A follow-up field review with
Lynda Peterson(BWSR)was performcd on November 7,2012.
One wetland was identified on the pi•operiy. The wetland was identified as a'Type 1 floodplain forest.
The ditch within the wetland noted on tlie wetland data form appeared to have been dug fairly recently
(likely within the past couple of years based on vegetation growth observed within the excavated ditch),
and it isn't clear who did the work. A consultant involved with the property(John Sonnek of Charles
Cudd De Novo) indicated tliat the ditch was dug before he was involved witl�the properhy and he wasn't
sure who did the excavation work. The currendnew owiier closed on the property on October 19,2012,
and the ditch doesn't appear to have been excavated aftec this date, Further investigation into this
excavation is warranted to determine if the excavation was in violation of the Wetland Conservation Act.

' ABSTRACT
Svoboda Ecological Resources (SER) visited the above referencect property on 8/13/12 to
� examine the site for the presence of�areas rneeting wetland criteria. The study parcel is located
in Orono MN, Hennepin Counry (Figure 1). One wetland boundary was delineated at this site.
One sample transect was established along the boundary in order to characterize the soil,
� vegetation, and existing hydrolo�y within the wetland-to-uplancl transition zone.
� INTRODUCTION
The subject parcel is approximately 2.72 acres and is dominated by terrace forest and early
, successional invasives. The topography of the site is terraced from the open lot down to the
woods with 6-10%% slopes in the woods followed by a flat terrain in the southern third of the
site. The surrounding land use is suburban consisting mostly of high end single family homes
� with this lot currently being vacant (Figure 1). The identified wetland was classified aceording
to the Cowardin et al., the Circular 39 and the Eggers and Reed classification systems and
marked with pink ``Wetland Delineation" pin flags. The Technical Documents section of this
' report contains field data sheets, plant indicator status information, soil survey information, and
wetland definition information.
' METHODS
The methods used to delineate the subject parcel are as described in the 1987 US Army Corps of
� Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and the 2010 Midwest Regional Supplement ManuaL In
the 1987 Manual, the methods used were described under the "routine'' methods for sites less
than 5 acres. This methodology is followed in order to assess whether the three parameters of a
, wetland are met for areas on the subject parceL The three parameters required under normaf
circumstances in order to delineate a wetland are described in the Technical Documents section.
� The Midwest Regional Supplement Wetland Delineation Manual is also being utilized to
increase the accuracy of our wetland boundaries. This addendum to the original 87 Manual was
created to address the many regional differences that affect wetlands and the delineation methods
� used throughout the country. The following explanations are passages from that document.
"This Regional Supplement is part of a nationwide effort to address regional
wetland characteristics and improve the accuracy and efficiency of wetland-
� delineation procedures. Regional differences in climate, geology, soils,
hydrology plant and animal communities, and other factors are important to the
identification and functioning of wetlands. These differences cannot be
, considered adequately in a single national manual. The development of this

,
'
supplement follows National Academy of Sciences recommendations to increase
� the regional sensitivity of wetland-delineation methods (National Research
Council 1995). The intent of this supplement is to bring the Corps Manual up to
date with current knowledge and practice in the region and not to change
� wetland boundaries." "...This Regional Supplement is designed for use with the
current version of the Corps Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and all
subsequent versions. Where differences in the two documents occur, this
Regional Supplement takes precedence over the Corps Manual for applications
� in the Midwest Region."
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps (Figure 2), Web Soil Survey of Hennepin County map
� (Figure 3), Minnesota Public Waters Inventory maps (Figure 4), and 2010 aerial photographs
were reviewed prior to the site visit to identify areas that may be wetlands. Areas illustrating
evidence of wetland conditions were examined in greater detail during the field survey.
� Vegetation, soils and hydrology were examined (as outlined in the 1987 Manual and the
Midwest Regional Supplement) and used to characterize wetland types and determine wetland
boundaries. Sample transects were established in representative wetland-to-upland transition
' zones in order to characterize the vegetation, soils, and hydrology of the site. Transects consist of
a representative upland sample point and representative wetland sample point. Information
obtained at the sample points can be found on the tield data sheets located in the Technical
, Documents section.
Hydrophytic status of plants was based on the National Wetland Pfant List issued on May 15,
2012 and effective June 1, 2012 and as characterized by the plant status on the Excel Midwest
' Region data sheet provided by the US Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District.
Wetland boundaries were marked at the site by pink "Wetland Delineation" pin flags. The
' wetland boundary is considered to be the topographically highest extent of the wetland basin;
areas be(ow the staked boundary met the three required wetland criteria whi(e areas above were
lacking in one or more of these criteria. Wetlands were classitied in accordance with methods
� described by Cowardin et aL (1979) and used in the NWI (e.g. PEMB, PSS1C, etc.), completed
by the U.S. Fish and Wifdlife Service. The Circular 39 and Eggers and Reed classification
systems are also given. The indicator status of plants, as described in the Technical Documents
' section, was determined using the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands —
Midwest Region (Lichvar, Robert W. and John T. Kartesz 2009).

, RESULTS
The National Wetland lnventory indicates the presence of no wetland within the study area
� (Figure 2).
The Web Soil Survey of Hennepin County (Figure 3) identified three soil map units within the
' study area. The soil complex Houghton Muck, Lester Loam, and Hamel-Glencoe were all
present throughout the site with the Lester Loam being variable in slope percentage. The
Houghton Muck is considered hydric while the Lester Loam and Hame(-Glencoe are considered
' partially hydric. Soil series descriptions are provided in the Technical Documents section.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, (Public Water Inventory) indicates no pubfic
� water within the study area(Figure 4).
Site Visit
� SER ecologists examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria
during the site visit. One area meeting the jurisdictionai criteria of a wetland was flagged, and the
boundary determined and delineated. The approximate wetland boundary is outlined in yellow
� (Figure 5).
Wetland ( is a Type 1L PFOI wooded swamp. The vegetation at sample point 1-1 UP consisted
� ofi a tree stratum of American chestnut (Castanea dentata, NI) and honey locust (Gledrtsia
triacanthos, FAC). The understory consisted of buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica, FAC),
American chestnut (Castanea dentate, NI), and honey locust (Gleditsia traacanthos, FAC) and
� the herb stratum consisted of Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia, FACU). At sample
point 1-1 WET the vegetation consisted of quaking aspen (Populus trenzuloicfes, FAC), eastern
cottonwood (Populus deltoides, FAC), black willow (Salix nrgra, OBL), and reed canarygrass
(Phalaris arundinacea, FACW). The transition from wetland to upland is characterized, in part,
, by this vegetative change.
The soils at sample point I-1 UP consisted of an initial 6 inches of lOYR 3/2 silt loam and from
' 6-16 inches there was lOYR 3/2 silty clay loam. The final horizon observed was from 16-32
inches with lOYR 3/3 silty clay texture. The soils at sample point 1-1 WET consisted of an
initial 10 inches of lOYR 2/1 silty clay loam. From 10-18 inches there was lOYR 2/1 silt clay
I followed by a third horizon that was from 18-28 inches and was lOYR 2/1 clay. The finaf
horizon was from 28-34 inches and consisted of 5/l0Y clay. Hydric indicator Al2 (Thick Dark
Surface) was noted due to the 28 inches of lOYR 2/1 followed by a depleted soil horizon.
� Wetland hydrology was observed at sample point 1-1 WET. Indicators D2 (Geomorphic
Position) and DS (FAG Neutral Test) were present. Saturation was also present at a depth of 30
� inches.
Detailed soils, vegetation, and hydrology data for the delineated jurisdictional wetlands are
' provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documents section.

' DISCUSSION
' SER completed all on-site delineations based on the three required technical criteria as outlined
by the 1987 Manual: the presence of hydric soils, a predominance of hydrophytic vegetation,
and indicators of wetland hydrology in each basin. The site visit portion of the wetland
' delineation was completed on 8/13/12.
SER personnel examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria
� during the site visit and delineated the edge of one basin as being jurisdictional wetlands (Figure
5). Detailed soils, vegetation and hydrology data is provided in the data sheets of the Technical
Documents section. A set of figures is provided in the Figures section.
� RECOMMENDATIONS
' Activities that impact or could potentially impact wetlands are regulated at several levels of
government. In Minnesota, the two primary jurisdictions are covered at the state and federal
levels by the provisions of the following legislative actions.
� � State jurisdiction by the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA)administered
by the WCA Local Governmental Unit (LGU).
' � Federal jurisdiction by the Clean Water Act of 1972 and subsequent amendments.
Wetland protection is implemented by the Corps of Engineers (Corps) with permit
� certification issued by the Environmental Protection Agency.
While the wetland boundaries that SER has delineated are not official until approved by a WCA
� approved local government unit (LGU), SER advises the property owner/developer to refrain
from any filling, draining, or excavating, or any impact to the area SER has delineated as
wetland. No grading or filling in wetland basins should commence until all necessary permits
� have been obtained. Violation of wetland regulations may result in substantial civil and criminal
penalties. Local ordinances may regulate wetland modifications such as brush and tree removal
and burning in addition to grading and filling. Depending on the location of the property, buffers
, around the wetland may also be protected. Any activities in the proximity of the wetland should
be cleared with appropriate WCA regulatory agencies. It is also advisable to have the wetland
boundary surveyed by a licensed land surveyor. Since the pin flags used along the boundary can
' be vandalized or inadvertently knocked over, a GPS survey of the flags will assure the
permanence of the boundary. The client should also be aware that according to current BWSR
and COE wetland rules and regulations approved wetland boundaries are typically valid for five
� years from the date of approval.
To avoid project detays associated with wetland regulations, it is essential that you acquire
� necessary permits from all jurisdictional agencies before initiating activities. A WCA

'
Sequencing form, a WCA and Army Corps of Engineers Replacement Plan Application form,
, and a DNR permit application are among the materia(s that you may be required to submit if
impacts are proposed for the delineated wetlands. By initiating the permit process as soon as
possib(e, potential costly delays to the project may be avoided.
� CERTIFI ATI N
C O
' Blair Bolli com leted the above-described delineation on 8/13/12. This delineation was
g P
� performed according to the procedures described by the US Army Corps of Engineers in the
1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual and the 2010 Midwest Region Supplement Wetland
De(ineation Manual. The delineation meets the standards and a criterion described in these
� manuals and conforms to the applicable standards and regulations in force at the time the
delineation was completed.
Report and graphics were prepared by David Haar(Wetland Ecologist UGIS Specialist) on this
' day 08/14/12. The delineation report was reviewed by Frank Svoboda, President of Svoboda
Ecological Resources.

Carbondale, Greenwood. Lupton, and Rifle soils are frigid.
, GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Houghton soils occupy closed depressions within lake
plains, outwash plains, ground and end moraines, and on floodplains. Slope gradients are
less than 2 percent. The mean annual precipitation ranges from about 30 to 42 inches, and
� the mean annual temperature is about 48 to 53 degrees F.

� �� �� � , _ -, Moston(T), ' � �� , ' ������� �, and �� : �__ soils. Edselton(T) and Edwards soils
are underlain by marly material at depths of 16 to S l inches. Moston(T), and Muskego
soils are underlain by coprogenous material between 16 and 51 inches. Poorly or very
1 poorly drained mineral soils are commonly associated along the margins of the bogs.
DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Very poorly drained. Depth to the seasonal high
water table ranges from 2 foot above the surface in ponded phases to 1 foot below the
� surface from September to June. The potential for surfiace runoff is very slow or ponded.
Permeability is moderately slow to moderately rapid.
1 USE AND VEGETATION: A considerable area of these soils is used for cropland or
pasture. Common crops are onions, lettuce, potatoes, celery, radishes, carrots, mint, and
some corn. Native vegetation was primarily of marsh grasses, sedges, reeds, buttonbrush,
' and cattails. Some water-tolerant trees were near the margin of the bog.

, WETLAND DEFINITION
According to the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers "Wetlands Delineation Manual" (1987
� Manual; the document used by all delineators to deftne wetlands) a wetland is "Those areas that
are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to
support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically
, adapted for life in saturated soil conditions." The Minnesota State Wetland Conservation Act
Rules, Chapter 8420, further clarifies that "...wetlands must: (1) have a predominance of hydric
soils; (2) be inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration
� sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typicafly adapted for lifie in saturated
soil conditions; and (3) under normal circumstances, support a prevalence of hydrophytic
vegetation.' The 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Manual in Part II, item 24. states that,
, "The interaction of hydrology, vegetation, and soil results in the development of characteristics
unique to wetlands. Therefore, the following technical guidelines for wetlands are based on the
three parameters, and diagnostic environmental characteristics used in applying the technical
guideline are represented by various indicators of these parameters." [t is this premise by which
' SER ecologists has, in their professional judgment, delineated the wetlands on the subject parcel
described in this report.
� Wetland Hydrology
The most important wetland criterion is hydrology. The presence and persistence ofi water
influences the vegetation types and changes soil morphology. Hydrology may be observed as
� standing water(inundation), or may be observed as freestanding water within the soil pit or auger
hole (saturation) usually within the upper 12 inches. This is what wou(d be considered primary
hydrology indicators. Only one primary indicator is necessary to make the determination that
� wetland hydrology indeed exists. The 1987 Corps Manual also has a range of hydrologic zones
established based on period of inundation or saturation. These zones and the periods of
inundation or saturation for each can be observed in Table 1 below.

T'he definition of appropriate hydrology according to the 1987 Manual includes two important
, terms that must be clarified. First, the definition of a growing season is needed. The growing
season is defined in the 1987 Manual as: "...the portion of the year when soil temperature
(measured 19.7 inches below the surface) is above biological zero (5° C or 41° F)." According to
� the 1987 Manual this period of time can be approximated by using the '`starting and ending dates
for the growing season based on a 28° F air temperature threshold at a frequency of 5 years in
10." Based on this detinition the growing season ranges approximately 160 days to l80 days in
� the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area (160 in the northern suburbs and greater to the south).
Therefore, the required inundation or saturation to the surface for 5% ofi the growing season
would be 8 or 9 consecutive days that ground water would need to be at the surface or saturated
' to the surface.
The second term in the appropriate hydrology detinition from the above paragraph to be clarified
� is '`in most years". This means in 5 of l0 years hydrology must exist within a 'jurisdictional
wetland" for the 8 or 9 consecutive days of the growing season. This means that one observation
date or even one whole year worth of detailed hydrology data may be deemed insufficient to
� determine if appropriate hydrology exists at a given location. [n the event that precipitation
events accumulate to above or below normal during just prior to a site visit or during a more
intensive hydrology study, the data may be confounded by non-normal circumstances and may
' be considered outside the bounds of "most years". [deally, both antecedent soil moisture
conditions and precipitation would be normal during all delineations. However, this is not a
realistic impression of climate. Therefore, primary indicators of hydrology must be reviewed
� with scrutiny prior to determining if hydrology indeed exists.
Wetland hydrology may be observed as standing water (inundation), or may be observed as
� freestanding water within a soil pit or auger hole (saturation) usually within the upper 12 inches.
This is what would be considered primary hydrology indicators. Examination of this indicator
requires digging a soil pit to a depth of 16 inches and observing the level at which water stands
� after sufficient time has been allowed for water to drain into the hole. The required time wifl
vary depending on soil texture. This level represents the depth to the water table; the depth to
saturated soils will always be nearer the surface due to the capillary fringe. According to the
� Hydrology criteria in the 1987 Delineation Manual, for soil saturation to impact vegetation, it
must occur within a major portion of the root zone, typically within 12 inches of the surface.
Only one primary indicator is necessary to make the determination that wetland hydrology is
' present. However, since a single observation is not enough evidence, based on the percentage of
the growing season this inundation or saturation is required, these data are only valid when
reviewed while also considering the abundance of recent precipitation events or the seasonal
' trend of climate when the site visit was made (this may be done through review of precipitation
records where available). In addition to the primary indicators of wetland hydrology, there are
secondary indicators (e.g. oxidized root channels, water-stained leaves, local soil survey data,
� FAGNeutral test), of which two must be present to consider the sample point as having wetland
hydrology.

,
� Hydrophytic Vegetation (Wetland Vegetation)
Wetland vegetation is defined in the 1987 Manual as '`The sum total of macrophyrtic plant life
growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of
� excessive water content. When hydrophytic vegetation comprises a community where indicators
of hydric soils and wetland hydrology also occur, the area has wetland vegetation." [n more
standard terms, some plants are more adapted to growing within inundated or saturated soil.
' Based on literature records and professional experience, a panel of experts compiled a list of
plant species and assigned each a hydrophytic status (described below and includes five major
classes of probability of a plant occurring within a wet(and).
� [n terms of delineation there is a gradient of plant species that are adapted to "growing in water
or on substrate that is at least periodica(ly deticient of oxygen". Fieldwork associated with
� wetland delineations includes a procedure (the 50/20 Rule, for determination of dominance),
which is also outlined in the 1987 Manual, by which to determine if hydrophytic p(ant species
dominate the vegetation at a given location. This procedure has been used for the wetland
� delineation at the subject parcel of this report.
Hydric Soil
� Detined in the 1987 Manual as `'A soil that is saturated, tlooded, or ponded long enough during
the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions that favor the growth and regeneration of
hydrophytic vegetation. Hydric soils that occur in areas having positive indicators of
' hydrophytic vegetation and w�etland hydrology are wetland soils."
For the purposes of delineation of wetlands, soils cannot be viewed without digging pits or
� extracting soil using an auger. Therefore, transects of soil samples are taken from perceived
upland to perceived wetlands along a transitional boundary. There are specitic color indicators,
textures, and depth requirements in the soil that are reviewed in order to determine whether
' hydric soils occur at a given point or not. After a transect of soil samples has been taken, upon
consideration of vegetation and indicators of appropriate hydrology a working prototype for the
given wetland is developed by the delineator. The wetland delineator then uses this working
� prototype to complete the location of the remainder of the wetland boundary, unless the wetland
is large enough or the landscape features (vegetation or topography) change enough to warrant
additional transect samples.
