Pro;ect Nu.�?Ot(]-0?3-113 1 lrnann,;�b''atsi�n INTRODUCTION The subject parcel is appro�imate(y �.54 acres and is dominated by turf grass and hardwood trees. The topography of the site declines east to west and south towards the wetland area at varying degrees and undulates within the wetland area. The sunounding land use consists mostly of single- family homes. The identified wetland was classified according to the Cowardin et al. and the Circular 39 classification systems and marked with pink "Wetland Delineation" pin flags. Please find within the Technical Documentation Section; 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 2007 Midwest Region Supplement Manual. In the 1987 Manual, the methods used were described under the "routine" methods for areas 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 reauired under normal circumstances in order to delineate a wetland are described in the Technical Documentation 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 eYplanations are passages from that document. "This Re�ional 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 p(ant 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 supp(ement follo�vs National Academy of Sciences recommendations to increase the regional sensitivity of wetland-de(ineation 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." "...T'his Regional Supplement is desi;ned 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),Soil Szrrvey of Hennepin Cotrnty maps(Figure 3),Minnesota Protected Waters maps(Figure 4),and 2006 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 used to characterize wetland types and determine wetland boundaries. A sample transect was established in a representative wetland-to-upland Svoboda Ecological Resources 192� Fox St. Project No.:2010-025-03 2 Joanne Watson transition zone in order to charackerize the vegetation, soils,and hydrolo�y of tlte siEe. "t'he transect consisted of a representative u�land sample point and representative ��etland sample point. Information obtaincd fram the sarnp(e points can be found an the field data sheets tocated in the Technical Uocumentatian Scction.

Detailed soils, vegetation and hydrology data for Wetland 1 is provided in the data sheets of The Technical Documentation Section. A set of full-scale figures is given in the figures section. RECOMMENDATIONS Activities �vhich impact or potentially impact wetlands are currently 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). i� 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 pet�rnits have been obtained. Violation of wetland regulations has resulted in substantial civil and criminal penalties. Local ordinances may regulate wetland modi�cations 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 proYimity of the wetland should be cleared with appropriate WCA regulatory agencies. It is also advisable to have the�vetland 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 a�vare that approved wetland boundaries are typically valid for only three years from the date of approval. To avoid project delays 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 materials that you may be required to submit if impacts are proposed for the delineated wetlands. By initiating the permit process as soon as possible,potential costly delays to the project may be avoided.

THE TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION SECTION Wetland Definition WETLAND DEFINITION According to the t987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers "Wetlands Delineation Nianual" (1937 Manual; the document used by all delineators to deFine wetlands) a tivetland 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 preva(ence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions." The Minnesota State Wetland Conservation Act Rules, Chapter 8�420, 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 sufticient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions; and (3) under normal circumstances, support a preva(ence of hydrophytic vegetation." The 1987 U.S. Army Corps of En�ineers Manual in Part [[, item 24. states that, "The interaction of hydrology, vegetation, and soil resu(ts in the development of characteristics unique to wetlands. Therefore, the following technical guidelines for wetlands are based on the three parameters, and diagnostic environmenta( characteristics used in applying the technical guideline are represented by various indicators of these parameters." It is this premise by which SER ecologists has, in their professional judgment, delineated the wetlands on the subject parce( described in this report. Wetland Hydrology The most important wetland criterion is hydrology. The peesence and persistence of water influences the vegetation types and changes soil morpho(ogy. Hydrology may be observed as standing water(inundation), or may be observed as freestanding water within the soi( pit or auger hole (saturation) usually within the upper 12 inches. This is what would be considered primary hydrology indicators. Only one primary indicator is necessary to make the determination that wetland hydro(ogy indeed exists. The 1987 Corps Manual a(so 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 obsecved in Table 1 below.

Eirst, the detinition of a growing season is needed. The growinb season is defined in the 1987 Nianual as: "...the portion of the year when soi! temperature (measured 19.7 inches be(ow the surface) is above bio(o�ical zero (�° C o�•41' F)." According to the 1987 Manua( this period of time can be approximated by using the "starting and ending dates for the growing season based on a 28' F air temperatu��e threshold at a frequency of � years in 10." Based on this definition the growin� season ranges approYimately 160 days to 130 days in the Minneapo(is/St. Paul metropo(itan area(160 in the northern suburbs and greater to the south). Therefore, the required inundation or saturation to the surface for �% of 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 hydro(ogy definition from the above paragraph to be clarified is "in most years". This means in � of l0 years hydrolo�y must eYist within a `�urisdictional 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 ducing just prior to a site visit or during a more intensive hydro(ogy study, the data may be confounded by non-normal circumstances and may be considered outside the bounds of "most years". Idea((y, both antecedent soil moisture conditions and pcecipitation 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) usual(y within the uppec 12 incl�es. This is what would be considered primary hydrology indicators. Examination of this indicator requires diaging a soil pit to a depth of 16 inches and observing the level at which water stands after sufficient time has been a((owed for water to drain into the hole. The required time will vary dependin� on soil texture. This leve( represents the depth to the water tab(e; the depth to saturated soils will always be nearer the surface due to the capillary fringe. According to the Hydrology criteria in the (987 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 enou;h 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 �vetland hydrology, there are secondary indicators (e.g. oxidized root channels, water-stained leaves, local soil survey data, FAC-Neutra( test), of which two must be present to consider the sample point as having wetland hydrology. A-2 Hydrophytic Vegetation (Wetland Vegetation) Wetland vegetation is defined in the 1987 Manual as "The sum total of macrophytic plant life growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of eYcessive 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 titerature records and professiona( experience, a panel of experts compiled a list of p(ant species and assigned each a hydrophytic status (described below and includes five major classes of probability of a pfant occurring within a wetland). In terms of delineation there is a gradient of plant species that are adapted to "growing in water or on substrate that is at least periodically deficient 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 plant 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 Defined in the 1987 Manua( as "A soil that is saturated, flooded, 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 wetland 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 up(and to perceived wetlands along a transitional boundary. There are specific 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 de(ineator. 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 �varrant additional transect samples. � A-3
