INTRODUCTION
The subject parcel is approYimately 6.5 acres and is dominated by turf gt�ass at the north po��tion of the
parcel and prairie grasses and wetland witl�in the south and south-central areas.A small area of hardwood
' trees eYists along the southern border of the property.The topography of the site declines gradually into dle
i wetl�nd area 6ut gently imdulates within most of tlle areas of uptand. The suirounding land use consists of
; crapland a�ld single-family homes. Ti�e identified�vetland was classitied according to the Cowardin et al.,
; dle Circular 39 and the Eggers and Reed classification systems and marked with pink`VlTetland Delit�ation"
i pin flags at the ground level. For ease of location,orange"Wetland Bounclary"tlagging was afFL�ced to the
; , tall g�asses and farbs in the vicinity of each pink tlag placed in the ground. The wedand boundary will be
' ' surveyed by Gronberg&�ssociates,Inc,based out of Prior Lake(See contact information below}.Please

METH�DS
i The meEhods used to delineate the subject parcel are as described in the 1987 US Anny Corps of
� Engineeis Wetlands Delineation Vlanual and the 2007�Iid�vest Regiorral Supplement i�tanual. [n the 1987
" Manual, the methods used were described under the"ro�rtine"methods for sites less than 5 acres. This
' ' met3�odology is tollowed in order to assess�vliether the three parameters of a�vetland are met for areas on
' the subject parcel. The three parameters required under normal cii�cumstances in order to delineate a
� wetland are described in the Technical Documentation Section.

The Viid�vest Regional Supplement Wetland Delineation Lianual is also being titilized to increase the
accuracy of our�vetland boundaries. This addendum to the original$7[Vfanual was created to address the
many regional difterences that affect wetlands and#he delineation medtods used throughout the country.
; The Pollowing eYplanations are passages from that document.
'`This Regional Supplement is part of a nation�vide effort to add3�ss regional ti;�etland
characteristics and i�nprove the accuracy and efticiency of n�ettand-delineation
procedures. Regional differences in climate,geology,soils,hydrology plant and
aninta) commtmities, and other factors are important to the €dentitication and
fimctioning of wetlands.These differences�annot be considered ade�luutel}�in a
isingle national manuaL "I'lie developmcnt of this supplement follo�vs �Fational
�cademy of Sciences recommendations to increase the regional sensitivity of

� supplement is to bring the Corps�(anual up to date�vith aurrent kno�ti�ledge and
�
� practice in the region and not to change�vetland b�undarics." "...This Regional

Background Informatio�r(Office-Based Investigation)
, The NWl map(E:ccelsior Quadrangle}illusti�ates one National Wetland Inventory�vetland present on the
i ' property (Figuce 2). The NWI �vetland is designated as a PEi�iCd wetland, that is a wetland (P) that

' 'n�e Web Soil Su�vey of Orono and Hennepin County,Figure 3,classifies six soil map units present on the
i ' subject property(See Figure 3}, The map units that are classified as "non-hydric"soi{s are the Lester-
! Kilkenny comple:c and the Lei�lal Loam. The sflils classified as "lrydric" are the Hame!-Glencoe
� depressional comples ancl the Klossner depressional (Web Soil Survey website).These soil classifcation
' boundaries are illustrated on Figure 3 with fi�rther detail given in tl�e legencl.Soil series descriptions are given

The Minnesota Department ofNatural Resources,State Protected Waters�tap(Public Water[nventory),
indicates no Public Waters present�vithin the property(Figu��e 4).
� Site Visit
SER ecologists e�nined the s«bject property for areas meeting ju�lsdictional wetland criteria during the site
` visit. One wetland meeting the jurisdictional criteria of a wetland,for�vhich a boundary was deteimined and
i ` delineated,�vas flagged. The appro:cimate�vetland boundary is o�Rlined in yellow(Figure S).
�
I Wetland 1 consists of nvo wetland communities and was characterized by SF.R as a Type 2/3 PE1�IB/Cd
i � Fresh {Wet) N[eadow (I S B) and Shallaw �[arsh (13B). A type 2 and 3 wetland is the Circular 39
I classification for wet meado�v and shailow marsl�respectively.The"B"moditier is a pac�t of the Cowardin
; � Classification that illustrates ttte moisture regime as be'sng saturated.

� Dominant vegetatioii within the Fresl; (Wet) Meado�v consisted of reed canaiy grass (Phalaris
i rn�irfulinacea, EACV� and water smart�veed (Polygonu�rr amphibiirjrr,OBL}, Ditching��as observed
; within the wetland e��tending in an east-west and no�th-sauth direction.Narro�w leaf cattail was observed
within the ditched portion of d�e wetland along the east-wesk extension on the�vesteim po�tion.The ditching
along the east-west portion remained laigely continuous bt�t some intermittence along the ditch extending

hardwood species.
i The vegetation transition zone was s�mewhat abrupt along most areas of the wettand boundary. Reed
,
canary grass was dominant n the herbaceous layer starting at all thi�ee wetland sample points and water
smarttiveed appeared as a dominant in nvo of the three points.As t11e transects e.�ctended to the upland area,
! reed canary grass was not dominant at only one upland point but �naintained a dominance at two other
• upland points. Birds-foot trefoil, Canada thistle (Circhri�r canader�sis, FACin, Maximilian sunflower,
� Canada goldenrod and Kentucky bluegrass {Poa prcrtensis, FAC)were a11 observed�vithin the upland
; �•ansition zones.
; Soils on tl�e wetland side of the transects typically consisted oFsapric material within the first 4 to l I inches
' in the soil profile and then maintained a black underlain by a very dark gray color consisting of clay loam
; and clay text�ires respective[y and some gleying occuning at�vetland sample point 1-1 B at i 0 inches below
' � the ground surface. Reclo:cimorphic features were observed within all wedand�sample point locations.On
' the upland side, soils typically exhibited black clay loarn at the surf'ace�vith very dark gray clay loam and
clay texttu•es underlying.No��edo�cimorphic features were observed at any of the uptand sample points.
Wetland I has hydraulic cannectiviry to�vetlands e:cisting on properties to the east and dte west via the east-
` west ditch extension. After obseivation of 2009 aerial photos and sh•eatn and lakes data using G[S it
appears that he ditch eYtension dces not connect to any major �vaten�vays, however. Sahiration,
{ geamo�phic position and a pasitive fac-neuti�al test were observed and included as hydrology indicators at
s ; all�vetland sample point locations. Additional(y, oYidized rhizospheres on living roots tvere obse�ved at
t wetland sample location 1-1.No hydrology indicatois were obse�ved at any of the upland sample locations.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Activities �vhich impact or potentially impact �vetlands are currently regulated at several levels of
govemment. In Minnesota,the trvo primary jurisdictions are covered at the state and federal levels by the
provisions of d�e following legislative actions.
> State jurisdiction by the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA}administered by
the WCA Local Governmental Unit(LGt�.
> Eederal jurisdiction by the C1ean Water Act oF 1972 and s«bsequent amendments.
Wetland protection is implemented by the Co�ps of Engineeis(Corps)witl�peimit
ceititication issued by the Environmental Protection Agency.
While the wetland boundacies that SER has delineated are not officiaE until approved by a WCA approved
local govemment unit(LGCn,SER advises the property o�vner/developer to refrain fmm any filling,draining,
or escavating, or any impact to the ac•ea S�R has delineated as wetland. No grading or filling in�vetland
basins si�ould co�nmence until a!l necessary permits have been obtlined.Violation of�vetland regulations has
resulted in substantial civil and criminal penalties. Local ordinances may reg�ilate wetland modifications such
: as bn�sh and tree removal and burning in addition to g►�ading a�id tillin�. Depending on the location of the
property,buffers around the wetland may also be protected. Any activities in the pro:cimity of the wetland
' � should be cleared with appropciate WCA regulatory agencies. It is also advisable to have the �vetland
� boundary su�veyed by a licensed land sucveyor. Since the pin flags used alang the boundacy can be
vandalized or inadvertently knocked over, a GPS suivey of the flags will assu��e the permanence of the
bounclary. The elient should also be aware that approved�vetlancl bouncla�ies are typieally valid foe only
I tl�ree years from the date of appc�oval.
� ' To avoid project delays associated with wetland regulations, it is essentiai that you acquii�e necessaiy
� peimits from all jurisdictional agencies befa��e initiating activities. A�VCA Sequencing form,a WCA and
An�y Co►�ps of Engineers Replacement Plan Appiication fonn,and a Di�1R pe�mit application are ait�ong
� � ihe materials that yoi�may be�•equired to st�bmit 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.

WETLAND DEFINITION
� According to the 1987 U.S. tlrmy Corps of Engineers "Wetlands Delineation vlanual" (1987
Vlanual; the document used by a11 delineators to define wetlands) a wetiand is "Those areas that
i are inundated or saturated by surface or ground �vater at a frequency and dtaration sut�ticient to
' supporE, and that under normaf circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically
adapted for life in saturated soii conditions." Tiie Minnesota State �Vetland Conservation �ct
' Rules, Chapter 8�20, fuither clarifies tl�at "...�vetlands must: (t) have a predomii�ance of hydric
�
� soils; {2} be initndaked or saturated by surface �vater or groundwater at a frequency and duration
sut�icient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated
' soil conditions; and (3) undec• normal circumstances, support a prevalence of hydrophytic
�
vegetation." The 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers vianual in Part lf, item 24. states that,
i "The interactior� oP hydrology, vegetation, and soil results in tl;e development of characteristics
' unique to weTlands. "Cherefore, the foiio�ving technical guidelines for�vetlancis a�•e based on ttte
� three parameters, and diagnostic environmental characteristics used in applying the technical
guideline are represented by various indicators of these parameters." It is titis premise by �vliich
SER ecologists has, in their professional judgment, delineated the wetlands on the subject parcel
; described in this repoct.
Wetland Hydrology •
' The tnost important wetland criterion is hydrology. The presence and persistence of �vater
influences the vegetation types and changes soil marpl�ology. Hydrology may 6e observed as
standing water{inundation), or may be obseived as freestanding�vater within the soil pit ar auger
hole (saturation) usually �vithin the upper 12 inches. This is �vhat would be considered primary
hydcology indicators. Only one primary indicator is necessary to make the determination that
wetland hydrology indeed eYists. The 1987 Corps V[anual also has a range of hydco[ogic zones
� establishecl based on pe��iod of inundation or saturation. These zones and the periods of
' in�mdation or satucation for each can be observed in Tabte 1 below.

The definition of appropriate hydrology accordin� to the 1987 �[anual includes t�vo important
terms that must be clari�ed. First, the clefinition of a growin� season is needed. The growing
season is defined in the 1987 Manual as: ",..the portion ot the year wlien soil ternperature
(measured L9.7 inches below the surface) is above biological zero (S' C or�4 i' F)." According to
tlte 1937 �(anual tt�is period of time can be appcoYimated by using the "stac�ting aad ending dat�s
for the growing season based on a 28" F air te�nperature tEireshald at a frequency of 5 years in
10." Based on this cietinition the jro�ving season ran�es appi•o�imately 1 b0 days to 180 days in
tl�e Niinneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area (160 in tlie northern suburbs and greater to the south).
Therefore, the required inundation or saturation to the stirface for 5% of the gro�ving season
would be 8 or 9 consecutive days that ground �vater would need to be at tl;e surface or saturated
� to the sucface.
E The second term in tlie appropriate hydrology detinition from tlle abave para;raph to be clarified
�
; � is �`in most years". This means in 5 of iQ years hydrology nu�st eYist witl�in a "jurisdictional
{ wetland" for the 8 or 9 consecutive days of the gro��ing season. T1�is«ieans that one o6servation
� date or even one whole year 4vorth of detailed hydrolo;y data may be deemed insufficient to
i determine if appropriate hydrology eYists at a given location. In the event that precipitation
; events accu�nulate to above or be(o�v normai diiring just prior to a site visit or during a more
� intensive hydrolo�y study, the daEa may be confounded 6y non-norma! circumstances and may
be considered outside the bounds of "most years". Icieally, both ac�tecedent soil moisture
' concfitions and precipitation would 6e normal during all delineations. Ho�vever, this is not a
realistic impc•ession of climate. Therefore, pcimary indicators of hydrology must be revie�ved
�vith scrutiny prior to detei7nining iFhydc�ology indeed e:cists.
� Wetland hydrology may be observed as standing �vater (inundation), or may be observed as
� freestanding �vater within a soil pit or auger hole (saturation) usuaily�vithin the upper [2 incites.
� This is what would be consideeec! primary hydrology indicators. E�camination of this indicator
; requires digging a soil pit to a depth of l6 inches and observing the (evel at whict� �vater stands
after stifficient time has been allowed for �vater to drain into the hole. The required time �vill
vary depending on soil textuce. This level represents the depEh to dze �vater table; the deptli to
` saturated soils will al�vays be nearer the surface due to the capillary fringe. Accordinb to the
Hydrology criteria in the 1987 Delineation Manual, for soi! saEuration to impact vegetation, it
' must occur �vithin a majoc poction of the root zone, typically �vithin 12 inches of the surface.
Only oite 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
� tl�e growing seasan tl�is in«ndation or saturation is required, these data are only valid when
revie�ved while also considering the abE�ndance of recent pcecipitation events or the seasonal
trend of climate �vhen the site visit was made {this may be done through review of precipitation
; records where �vailable). In addition to the primary indicztors oF wetland hydrology, there are
; secondary indicators (e,g, oridized root channels, wAter-stained leaves, local soil survey data,
FAC-Ne�Etra) test), of which hvo must be present to consider the sample point as having wetiand
hydrology.

Hydrophytic Vegetation (Wetland Vegetation)
_ Wetland vegetation is detined in the 1987 Manual as "The sum total of macrophytic plant life
, gro�ving in �vater or on a substrate that is at least periodically deticient in oYygen as a result of
e,ccessive water content. �Vhen hydroplzytic vegetation comprises a community�vhere indicators
of f�ydric soils and wetland hydrology also occtir, the area has wetland vegetation." In more
stanclacd terms, some plants are more adapted to gro�ving �vithin inundatecl or saturated soil.
Based on (iterature records and professionaf experience, a panel of e�cperts compiled a list of
plant species ancf assi�ned each a hydropltytic status {described belo�v and includes t7ve major
classes of probability of a plant occurring within a wetland).
�
j [n ternis of delineation there is a gradient of pla►it species that are adapted to '`growing in �vater
� or on substrate that is at least periodically deticient of oYygen". Fieldwock associated �vith
� �vetland delineations includes a procedtire (the 50/20 Rule, for determinakion of dominance),
j whicf� is also outlined in the 1937 �tanual, by which to deteimine if hydrophytic plant species
� dominate the vegetation at a given location. This procedure has been used for the wetlanct
� delineation at ti�e su6ject parcel of this report.
�
; Hydric Soil
; Detined in the 1937 Manual as "A soil that is sat�irated, tlooded, or ponded lon; enough during
; tlle gro�ving season to develop anaerobic conditions tl�at favor the growth and regeneration of
hydrophytic vegetation. Hydric soils that occue• in areas having positive indicators of
hydrophytic vegetation and wetiand hydrology are �vetland soils."
�
�
� For the pu�poses of delineation of wetlands, soils cannot be viewed �vithout digging pits or
: e.ctracting soil using an auger. Therefore, transects of soil samples are taken fi�om perceived
� upland to perceived wetlands along a transitional boundary. There are specitic color indicators,
i teYttu•es, and depth requirements in the soil that are revie�ved in order to determine wltether
hydcic soils occ�ir at a given point or not. After a transect oF soil samples has been taken, upon
consideration oP ve�etation and indicators oF appropriate hydrology a �vorking prototype for the
given �vet(and is developed by the delineator. The wetland delineator then uses this �vorking
; pc•ototype to complete t1�e location of the remaindei•of the �vetland boundary, unless the wetland
� is large enough or the landscape features (vegetation or topography) change enough to �va�7•ant
� additional transect samples.
