Wetland Delineation Report
I. INTRODUCTION
The 1.67-acre 1285 French Creek Drive Parcel was inspected on September 19, 2016 for the
presence and extent of wetland. The property was located in Section 10, Township 117, Range
23W, Orono, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Generally, the site location was north ofNorth
Shore Drive, west of Brown Road South, and east of French Creek Drive (Figure 1). The site
limits corresponded to Hennepin County PID 1011723320007.
A single-family hoine occupied the western half of the site; the eastern half of the site was
dominated by manicured lawn and open water wetland. Adjacent land use was primarily single-
family homes and Lake Minnetonka. The topography sloped from west to east with an elevation
of 962 feet msl in the northwest portion of the site to a low of 942 feet msl at the pond edge
(within Wetland 1). One depressional wetland was identified and delineated within the site
(Figure 2).
II. METHODS
Wetlands were identified using the Routine Determination method described in the Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Waterways Experiment Station, 1987) and the
Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Midwest Region
(Version 2.0) as required under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and the Minnesota Wetland
Conservation Act.
Wetland boundaries were identified as the upper-most extent of wetland that met criteria for
hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology. Wetland-upland boundaries were
marked with pin flags that were located by E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc.
Soils, vegetation, and hydrology were documented at a representative location along the wetland-
upland boundary. Plant species dominance was estimated based on the percent aerial or basal
coverage visually estimated within a 30-foot radius for trees and vines, a 15-foot radius for the
shrub layer, and a 5-foot radius for the herbaceous layer within the community type sampled.
Soils were characterized to a minimum depth of 24 inches (unless otherwise noted) using a
Munsell Soil Color Book and standard soil texturing�nethodology. Hydric soil indicators used
are from Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States (USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) in cooperation with the National Technical Committee for Hydric
Soils, Version 7, 2010).
2
Plants were identified using standard regional plant keys. Taxonomy and indicator status of plant
species was taken from the 2016 National Wetland Plant List (U.S. Arn1y Corps of Engineers
2016. National Wetland Plant List, version 3.2, https://wetland�lants.usace.army.mil Engineer
Research and Development Center, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory,
Hanover, NH).
III. RESULTS
Review of NWI, Soils, DNR, and NHD Information
The National Wetlands Inventory(NWI) (Minnesota Geospatial Commons 2009-2014 and U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service) showed a PUBGx wetland within the property(Figure 3).
The Soil Survey(USDA NRCS 2015) showed Hamel-Glencoe complex as the hydric soil type
present within the review area. Soil types mapped on the property are listed in Table 2 and a
map showing soil types is included in Figure 4.
Table 2. Soil types mapped on the 1285 French Creek Drive Parcel
Map unit Map unit name Rating
symbol
L4B Crowfark loamy sand, 1 to 6 percent slopes Non-Hydric
L4C Crowfork loamy sand, 6 to 12 percent slopes Non-Hydric
L61 C2 Lester-Metea complex, 6 to 12 percent slopes, predominantly Non-Hydric
eroded
L132A Hamel-Glencoe complex, 0 to 2 percent slopes Predominantly Hydric
The Minnesota DNR Public Waters Inventory(Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
2015) showed no DNR waters onsite but DNR Public Waters 27-140-02P (French Marsh-South)
within 1000' of the property (Figure 5).
The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (U.S. Geological Survey 2015) showed one
lake/pond within the property(Figure 6).
Wetland Determinations and Delineations
Potential wetlands were evaluated in greater detail during field observations on September 19,
2016. One (1) wetland was identified and delineated on the subject parcel (Figure 2).
Corresponding data forms are included in Appendix A. The following description of the
wetlands and adjacent upland reflects conditions observed at the time of the field visit. At that
time precipitation totals were above typical based on available 30-day rolling precipitation data
and wet based on the three-inonth antecedent conditions (June, July, August) (Appendix B). A
survey of the delineation by E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc. is included in Appendix C.
3
Wetland 1 was a Type 5 (PUBGx) shallow, open water community dominated by open water and
scattered Lemna spp. Wetland 1 appears to have been excavated with very steep slopes leading
down to the wetland; the fringe of the wetland was inundated by approximately 6" of water with
approximately 2-3' of standing water near the center of the wetland. This wetland covered 0.44
acres within the property boundary.
Adjacent upland at the sample location was dominated by manicured Kentucky bluegrass. No
primary or secondary hydrology indicators were observed in the upland.
The delineated boundary followed a very abrupt change in topography and was placed
approximately 12'' above the current water level, where hydrology indicators were no longer
present, and the transition from hydric to non-hydric soils. Wetland 1 was indicated on the NWI
map as a PUBGx wetland and was located in an area of mapped Hamel-Glencoe (hydric) on the
soil survey. Wetland 1 appears to have been excavated in the past, no outlets were observed
onsite and the basin appears to be isolated.
Other Areas
No other areas with hydrophytic vegetation or wetland hydrology were observed on the site. No
other areas were shown as wetland on the NWI map or mapped as hydric soil.

IV. CERTIFICATION OF DELINEATION
The procedures utilized in the described delineation are based on the COE 1987 Wetland
Delineation Manual as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and the Minnesota
Wetland Conservation Act. Both the delineation and report were conducted in compliance with
regulatory standards in place at the time the work was completed.
All site boundaries indicated on figures within this report are approximate and do not constitute
an official survey product.

tributary, lake,etc.)in the State of Minnesota under state and federal regulatory programs. Applicants for Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources(DNR) Public Waters permits MUST use the MPARS online permitting system for submitting applications to
the DNR. Applicants can use the information entered into MPARS to substitute for completing parts of this joint application form
(see the paragraph on MPARS at the end of the joint application form instructions for additional information).This form is only
applicable to the water resource aspects of proposed projects under state and federal regulatory programs;other local
applications and approvals may be required. Depending on the nature of the project and the location and type of water resources .
impacted,multiple authorizations may be required as different regulatory programs have different types of jurisdiction over
different types of resources.
Regulatory Review Structure
Federal
The St. Paul District of the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers(Corps)is the federal agency that regulates discharges of dredged or fill
material into waters of the United States(wetlands,tributaries, lakes,etc.) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(CWA)and
regulates work in navigable waters under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. Applications are assigned to Corps project
managers who are responsible for implementing the Corps regulatory program within a particular geographic area.
State
There are three state regulatory programs that regulate activities affecting water resources. The Wetland Conservation Act
(WCA)regulates most activities affecting wetlands. It is administered by local government units(LGUs)which can be counties,
townships,cities,watershed districts,watershed management organizations or state agencies(on state-owned land).The
Minnesota DNR Division of Ecological and Water Resources issues permits for work in specially-designated public waters via the
Public Waters Work Permit Program(DNR Public Waters Permits). The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA) under Section
401 of the Clean Water Act certifies that discharges of dredged or fill material authorized by a federal permit or license comply
with state water quality standards. One or more of these regulatory programs may be applicable to any one project.
Required Information
Prior to submitting an application,applicants are stronglv encourased to seek input from the Corps Project Manager and LGU staff
to identify regulatory issues and required application materials for their proposed project. Project proponents can request a pre-
application consultation with the Corps and LGU to discuss their proposed project by providing the information required in
Sections 1 through 5 of this joint application form to facilitate a meaningful discussion about their project. Many LGUs provide a
venue(such as regularly scheduled technical evaluation panel meetings)for potential applicants to discuss their projects with
multiple agencies prior to submitting an application.Contact information is provided below.
The following bullets outline the information generally required for several common types of determinations/authorizations.
• For delineation approvals and/or jurisdictional determinations,submit Parts 1,2 and 5, and Attachment A.
• For activities involving CWA/WCA exemptions,WCA no-loss determinations,and activities not requiring mitigation,
submit Parts 1 through S, and Attachment B.
• For activities requiring compensatory mitigation/replacement plan,submit Parts 1 thru 5,and Attachments C and D.
• For local road authority activities that qualify for the state's local road wetland replacement program,submit Parts 1
through 5, and Attachments C, D(if applicable),and E to both the Corps and the LGU.

Attachment A
Request for Delineation Review, Wetland Type Determination, or
Jurisdictional Determination
By submission of the enclosed wetland delineation report, I am requesting that the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers,St. Paul District
(Corps)and/or the Wetland Conservation Act Local Government Unit(LGU) provide me with the following(check all that apply):
�Wetland Type Confirmation
❑ Delineation Concurrence. Concurrence with a delineation is a written notification from the Corps and a decision from the LGU
concurring, not concurring,or commenting on the boundaries of the aquatic resources delineated on the property. Delineation
concurrences are generally valid for five years unless site conditions change. Under this request alone,the Corps will not address
the jurisdictional status of the aquatic resources on the property,only the boundaries of the resources within the review area
(including wetlands,tributaries, lakes,etc.).
� Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination.A preliminary jurisdictional determination (PJD)is a non-binding written indication
from the Corps that waters, including wetlands, identified on a parcel may be waters of the United States. For purposes of
computation of impacts and compensatory mitigation requirements, a permit decision made on the basis of a PJD will treat all
waters and wetlands in the review area as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. PJDs are advisory in nature and may not be
appealed.
❑Approved Jurisdictional Determination.An approved jurisdictional determination (AJD)is an official Corps determination that
jurisdictional waters of the United States are either present or absent on the property.AJDs can generally be relied upon by the
affected party for five years.An A1D may be appealed through the Corps administrative appeal process.
In order for the Corps and LGU to process your request,the wetland delineation must be prepared in accordance with the 1987
Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual,any approved Regional Supplements to the 1987 Manual,and the Guidelines for
Submitting Wetland Delineations in Minnesota(2013).

that avoid all impacts to aquatic resources on the site.These alternatives may include alternative site plans,alternate sites,and/or
not doing the project.Alternatives should be feasible and prudent(see MN Rules 8420.0520 Subp.2 C).Applicants are encouraged
to attach drawings and plans to support their analysis:
Minimization. Both the CWA and the WCA require that all unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources be minimized to the greatest
extent practicable. Discuss all features of the proposed project that have been modified to minimize the impacts to water
resources(see MN Rules 8420.0520 Subp.4):
Off-Site Alternatives. An off-site alternatives analysis is not required for all permit applications. If you know that your proposal
will require an individual permit(standard permit or letter of permission)from the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers,you may be
required to provide an off-site alternatives analysis. The alternatives analysis is not required for a complete application but must
be provided during the review process in order for the Corps to complete the evaluation of your application and reach a final
decision. Applicants with questions about when an off-site alternatives analysis is required should contact their Corps Project
Manager.
