The study parcel is located in the city of Orono, MN in Hennepin County (Figure 1). One wetland boundary was delineated at this site. One sample transect was established along the northern wetland edge toward the eastern edge of the parcel in order to characterize the soil, vegetation, and existing hydrology within the wetland-to-upland transition zone. INTRODUCTION The subject parcel at 2560 Kelly Ave is approximately 2.31 acres. The parcel is a mesic woodlands that slopes steeply down to the wetland that comes into the property on the southeast side of the property. The surrounding land use is a mix of single family homes, commercial use, roads and wetlands. The land is set in the middle of the Lake Minnetonka complex. The identified wetland was classified according 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 normal 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). T'he intent of this supplement is to bring the Corps Manual up to date with current lmowledge and practice in the region and not to change wetland boundaries." "...This Regional Supplement is desi�ed for use with the current version of the Corps Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and all Svoboda Ecological Resources 1 2560 Kelly Ave Project Number: 2014-006 Orono MN 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 2012 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. 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 representa.tive upland sample point and representative wetland sample point. Information obtained at the sample points can be found on the field data sheets located in the Technical Documents section. 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 below the staked boundary met the three required wetland criteria while areas above were lacking in one or more of these criteria. Wetlands were classified 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 Wildlife 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 — Region 3 (Sabine 1999). RESULTS The National Wetland Inventory indicates the presence of one wetland in the survey area. The open wetland is categorized by the NWI as PEM/SS1C (Figure 2). The Web Soil Survey of Hennepin County (Figure 3) identifies three soil map units present on the subject property. They are as follows: Houghton and Muskego soils, depressional; Lester loam, morainic; and Angus loam, morainic. The Houghton and Muskego type is hydric. The Lester and Angus loam types are predominantly nonhydric. Soil series descriptions are provided in the Technical Documents section. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, State Protected Waters Map (Public Water Inventory) indicates no public water wetland 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 jurisdictional criteria of a wetland was flagged, and boundaries were determined and delineated. The approximate wetland boundaries are outlined in yellow(Figure 5). Of note, the water level appears to be higher than normal in the area. The spring snowmelt and recent precipitation have been significant and likely are affecting soil water. Svoboda Ecological Resources 2 2560 Kelly Ave Project Number: 2014-006 Orono,MN Accumulated precipitation since 11/O1/13 , as recorded and reported by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture reports that for the week ended May 25, 2014, was 4.87" above normal as recorded at MSP airport. Precipitation for the period 5/19/14 to 5/25/14 was reported to be 1.45" above normal. The NWI identified the wetland as PEM/SS 1 C. The part of the wetland on the parcel is a shallow marsh that is likely nearly permanently flooded with emergent herbaceous vegetation that transitions quickly to woodland. The end of the wetland in the parcel would likely better be categorized as PEM/FO 1 G (Eggers and Reed Classification - Deep Marsh/Floodplain Forest; Circular 39 Type 4/1). Vegetation in the intermittently exposed wetland was dominated by cattail in the water (likely Typha X glauca OBL) and green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica FACV� along the shoreline. Transition to uplands is marked by slope and increased buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica FAC) and upland herbaceous species like burdock(Arctium minus FACU). Transect SP 1-1 was taken from the northern border of the wetland on the east border of the parcel. The soils at sample point SP 1-1 Wet consisted of a dark peat layer that consisted of mostly organic material at the surface with several layers beneath of varying types. Saturation was present at 2 inches and water was present at 4 inches. Hydric indicators A3 (Black Histic) and A11 (Depleted Below Dark Surface) were present. The soils at sample point SP 1-1 Up consisted of loam at the surface with loamy clay layers below No hydric indicators were present at this sample point. At sample point SP 1-1 Wet hydrology indicators A2 (High Water Table) and A3 (Saturation) were present as were secondary indicators D2 (Geomorphic Position) and DS (FAC-Neutral Test) were present. Wetland hydrology was not indicated at sample point SP 1-1 Up. Detailed soils, vegetation, and hydrology data for the delineated jurisdictional wetlands are provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documents section. DISCU5SION A previous wetland delineation was completed by SER for the property on August 4, 2008 (SER Project No. 2008-049-03).A copy of that report is available on request. 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 5/24/14. SER personnel examined the subject properties for axeas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria during the site visit and delineated the edges of one wetland as being jurisdictional wetland (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. Svoboda Ecological Resources 3 2560 Kelly Ave Project Number: 2014-006 Orono MN 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. i+ State jurisdiction by the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA) administered by the WCA Local Governmenta.l Unit(LGU). a* 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 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.

RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: The organic layers are more than 51 inches thick. The organic fibers are derived primarily from herbaceous plants, but some pedons contain individual layers which contain as much as 30 percent woody material, however, the woody fragment content averages less than 15 percent by volume in the control section. It is very strongly acid to slightly alkaline. The organic layers have hue of lOYR, 7.SYR, or SYR, value of 2 to 3, and chroma of 1 to 3, or is in 2.5/0. The layers are predominantly muck (sapric material), but in some pedons mucky peat (hemic material) has a combined thickness of less than 10 inches and peat (fibric material) less than 5 inches. Some pedons have coprogenous material or marly material below 51 inches COMPETING SERIES: These are the Carlisle, Lena, Peteetneet, Saltese, and Semiahmoo series. Similar soils are the Adrian, Carbondale, Greenwood, Linwood, Lupton, Palms, Rifle, and Willette series. Carlisle soils derived dominantly from woody materials and contain an average of 15 to 30 percent woody fragments in the control section. Lena soils contain free carbonates throughout. Peteetneet soils are massive or platy in bottom tier, are on elevations of about 4,500 feet, and are substantially drier in the moisture control section during the 120 days following the summer solstice. Saltese and Semiahmoo soils are in areas with mild humid climates. Adrian, Linwood, Palms, and Willette soils have a mineral substrata depths ranging from 16 to about 50 inches. 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.

GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the Adrian, Edselton(T), Edwards, Moston(T), Muske�o, Palms, and Willette soils. Edselton(T) and Edwards soils are underlain by marly material at depths of 16 to 51 inches. Moston(T), and Muskego soils are underlain by coprogenous material between 16 and 51 inches. Poorly or very 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 surface runoff is very slow or ponded. Permeability is moderately slow to moderately rapid. 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. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: MLRA 95, 98, 110, 111.

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.). LrJ 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(A1D) 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 AJD 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). http://www.mvp.usace.army.mil/Missions/Re�ulatorv/DelineationJDGuidance.aspx 4 I 1� �I Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act �; Notice of Decision ' Local Government Unit(LGU) Address Minnehaha Creek Watershed District 15320 Minnetonka Blvd , Minnetonka,MN 55391 i 1.
