INTRODUCTION ' Wetland Re lacement monitorin is re uired for u to five 5 ears followin the com letion p g q P � � Y g P ' of a wetland replacement project to deternune if the replacement wetland achieves the goal of mitigating functions and values lost due to project impacts. The replacement wetland should meet both the general and specific reqwrements as outlined in Section 8420.0550 Subpart 1. ' of the 2002 Wetland Conservation Act Rules(Appendig A). This report presents observation for the 2006 monitoring year for the Cullum site in Orono, Minnesota. ' The Cu11um Property was in the N 1/2 of the NE '/4 of Section 36,Township 118 North, Range 23 West, City of Orono,Hennepin County Minnesota. The site address is 785 Ferndale Road(Figure 1). The Minnehaha Creek Watershed Distnct(Wetland Conservation ' Act administrator)granted approval for a Minnehaha Creek Watershed District(MCWD) Rule D: Wetland Protection permit on December 18,2003 and construction of the replacement wetlands was completed the following yeaz.

' II. PROJECT SUMMARY ' A total of 2,135 square feet(s fl of created and the establishment of 11,787 sf of native buffer was created on site to replace impacts associated with the placement of fill to create ' a low berm within existing wetland along the west side of the property(Figure 2). At the time a WCA No Loss application was submitted because the project partially restored the excavated wetland. Even thought the proposed work was considered a no loss situation, ' thP n1or�Pmr�nt nf 7 1�5 cf nf fill matPri�l fnr the c�.nnc�nar.tinn �f the herm wac mitigated r-..._---�--- -- ->-- through the creation of 2,153 sf of new wetland adjacent to the existing wetland. Buffer areas and the constructed berm were to be seeded with a native upland and wetland seed ' mix, respectively. � , ' ' ETHODS III. M ' Vegetation and hydrology were documented at fixed photo reference points as shown on Figure 3. Plant species dominance was estimated based on a meander survey throughout ' the new wetland area. The location, composition, and extent of plant communities was described for each replacement area. Hydrology characterizations consisted of aerial coverage estimates during the site visit. Photographs were taken at one to three fixed photo , points at each replacement wetland and were referenced to fixed points identified on the wetland replacement plan and labeled accordingly. All field observations took place during the growing season. � IV. RESULTS � ementArea 1 Fi ures 3 and 4 was to consist of three small areas excavated Replac ( g ) ' adjacent to the existing wetland on the north and south sides. A low wetland berm was to be constructed within the existing wetland to create an area that would support woody vegetation where the wetland was otherwise too deep to establish the des�red plantings. ' The berm was not to exceed 1 foot above the normal water level of the existing wetland. The center of the berm was left open to allow for hydrology to be shared with existing wetland on the adjacent property to the west. Hydrology was to be supplied from surface ' runoff and from shared hydrology from the eacisting wetland. The new wetland appeared excavated as proposed and the wetland berm constructed as ' planned. The berm was approximately 1 foot above the standing water in the rest of the t,.,�... .,.,�7 1,�� ar+ »n�aretnn�r�nm�»atAr� }+v a liv�rnnlivtir nlant rnmmii»itv T�1P�T'PPC ...................�._�_.._- ^-^-�---� -�_----^--- -� ---� ---r-� -- r----- - �------ . ._..� ---- -- -- planted on the berm included tamarack, silver maple, nver birch and white pine. Overall ' the wetland consisted of a Type 5 open water basin with a narrow saturated fringe. At the time of the site visit open water made up approximately 85 percent of the total wetland. The existing wetland edge was located using a Leika GPS unit accurate to within 3 feet to ' deternune the actual size of�c��:n. Based on that estimate,the total wetland was 29,104 s£ The original size of the wetland was estimated using a planimeter on the original wetland boundary survey and was determined to be 20,825 sf. Based on those two , measures,the current wetland is 8,279 sf larger than the original size. The original wetland on the adjacent property to the west consisted of a shallow basin ' dominated by giant manna grass and sedge and had less than six inches of standing water at the time of the site visit. ' D..11;._ T........J.di�s� LNJfG• ..��....r...,.. A total of 11,787 square feet of buffer was established adjacent to the wetland and was to be seeded with a naxive mix. Based on communication with the landowner, Specialty Seed ' supplied the native seed rnix consistent with the mix shown in Appendiz C. L&K contractors installed the seed mix and planted the trees on the berm. ' ' ' , It does not appear the buffer areas or the berm has been maintained since the initial seeding. The south buffer edge has significant patches of Canada thistle and scattered bull thistle. All ' buffer areas currently have approximately 5%reed canary grass. The north and south buffer was to be left as preserved woods,however it does not appear the buckthorn was removed from those areas as proposed. The understory of the berm area is dominated by reed canary ' grass that should be controlled. Otherwise the buffer appeared seeded as several desirable species were becoming established. ' The observed plant species are as follows: ' Verbena hastata 20 Conyza canadensis 5 Poa pratensis 15 Rudbeckia hirta trace Pilea pumila 10 Carex vulpinoidea trace ' Phalaris arundinacea 10 Spartina pectinata trace Urtica dioica 10 Aster sp. trace Lolium perenne 10 Potentilla sp trace ' Cirsium canadensis 10 Lythrum salicaria trace Epilobium sp. 5 Solidago rigida trace Eupatorium perfoliatum 5 ' Pycanthemum incanum 5 ' V. MANAGEMENT ISSUES/RECOMMENDATIONS An experienced vegetation management company should be hired to identify and spray ' undesirable species, i.e. reed canary grass, Canada thistle, bullthistle and horseweed. Additionai management such as mowing anciior durning snouia wice piacC w'vCucr establish the seeded native plant community and discourage weedy species. Common ' buckthorn should be removed from the preserved buffer areas. , � ' ' , ' ' , , , Cullum Property ' Orono, Minnesota ' Figures: • Figure l: Site Location Map , • Figure 2: Mitigation Plan • Figure 3: Replacement Area 1 Data Sheet • Figure 4: Replacement Area 1 Photographs ' ' ' � ' ' ' , ' ' , � ' ' ' ' ' Note: Site and wetland boundaries on this figure are approximate and do not constitute an official survey product.

If a Wetland type other than the - replacement plan goal is likely to result, the locel government unit must evaluate the plan basea on this dete=mination. The ' local government unit must also determine thnt the proposed replacement plan will adequately =eplace functions and public values lost. If adequate replacement of function ana public , value is not likely to result, the local government must determine ahat further measures are necessary to obtnin afiequate� replacenent or deny the replacement plan.
