Geographically, the parcel is located in Section 31, Township 118 North, Range 23 West. One Type 2, PEMB, fresh wet meadow was field delineated within the identified project boundary (Appendix A. Figure 5). Although another area met all of the criteria for wetlands, based on the data collected in the field, historic aerial review, and timeline of events given by the landowner, it is likely that it is not a historical wetland and therefore not regulated under WCA. The applicant is seeking incidental status for the area. WETLAND INVESTIGATION 3 8O LUCE LINE RIDGE ORONO,MINNESOTA AuGusT 2014 BACKGROUND�METHODOLOGY Backqround As requested by Zdenko Grajcar, Anderson Engineering of MN, LLC completed a wetland investigation at the residential property located at 80 Luce Line Orono, Minnesota. Geographically, the site is located in Section 31, Township 118 North, Range 23 West. The wetland delineation was completed in accordance with the 1987 United States Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the published regional supplement to the Army Corps Wetland Delineation Manual, Midwest Region. The purpose of this study was to investigate the project area, identify areas meeting the technical criteria for wetlands, delineate the jurisdictional extent of the wetland basins, and classify the wetland habitat. Fieldwork for this site investigation was completed by Environmental Scientist Ben Hodapp and Environmental Associates Courtney Luensman and Lucy Dahl on July 21st, 2014. The weather was sunny and 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Methodoloav United States Geologic Service 7.5" Topographic Quadrangle maps, United States Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory maps, United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey and available aerial photographs were consulted to initially locate potential wetland habitats. Routine On-site Determination Method was used during this investigation. In this method, the following procedures were used: 1) The vegetative community was sampled in all present strata to determine whether it met hydrophytic vegetation criteria based on the indicators identified in the Midwest Regional Supplement. 2) Soil pits were dug using a Dutch auger to depths of 16"-36". Soil profile was noted, in addition to any hydric soil characteristics. 3) Signs of wetland hydrology were noted and compared to field criteria such as depth to shallow water table and depth of soil saturation found in the soil pits. Data from sample points were recorded on Army Corps of Engineers Midwest Region Wetland Determination Data Forms (Appendix 8). At least one sample point transect crosses the delineated wetland edge. This transect consist of an upland sample point and a wetland sample point. Other sample points may be located in areas which have one or more of the wetland vegetation, soils, or hydrologic characteristics present; where questionable conditions exist; or to verify the absence of wetland criteria. Photographs are also taken at each sample point, and of the wetland and upland buffer(Appendix C). Sample points were marked in the field with orange flags. The identified wetland boundary was marked with sequentially numbered pink flags. All sample points and the delineated wetland boundary were located utilizing a Trimble Geo XH sub-meter GPS unit. WETLAND INVESTIGATION 4 HO LUCE LINE RIDGE ORONO,MINNESOTA AuGusT 2014 RESOURCE REVIEW Resource Review The following resources were reviewed to supplement the wetland field delineation: National Wetlands Inventory: The National Wetlands Inventory (Appendix A. Figure 2) does not identify any wetlands on the residential property. USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey: The Soil Survey of Hennepin County, MN (Appendix A. Figure 3) does not identify any hydric soils within the study area. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory: The MN DNR PWI for Hennepin County, MN (Appendix A. Figure 4), does not identify any public waters on or adjacent to the project area. Antecedent Precipitation Data: A review of the antecedent precipitation data collected from the University of Minnesota Climatology Working Group (Appendix D) indicate that precipitation totals for the previous weeks were above average in Hennepin County. Hydrologic conditions were suitable for completing an accurate wetland determination and boundary delineation. Historic and Current Aerial Photographs A review of the historic aerial photographs (Appendix�for the project site showed no indication of historic wetland in the areas of sample points A, B, and C prior to the development seen in the 1997 photograph. The photographs show drainage patterns from the tree line south of the property southwest to Bayside Road (prominent in the 1937 and 1957 photographs), this wetland signature is also visible in the southeast comer of the property in the 1984 infrared photograph. WETLAND INVES71GAT10N S 80 LUCE LINE RIDGE ORONO,MINNESOTA AuGusT 2014 FIELD REVIEW Field Review Wetland 1: Wetland 1 is a Type 2, PEMB fresh wet meadow. The wetland extends off-site to the south and the on-site portion is approximately 0.03 acres in size. The wetland is primarily vegetated with reed canary grass(Phalaris arundinacea) and spotted touch-me-nots(Impatiens capensis). The underlying soils are mapped as Angus-Kilkenny soils. The investigated soil profile met the thick dark surface (Al2) hydric soil indicators. Hydrology indicators observed include algal mat or crust (B4), geomorphic position (D2), and the FAC-Neutral Test(D5). The upland buffer surrounding the wetland consists of common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica), boxelder (Acer negundo), reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). Moderate slopes form the transition into the wetland. The wetland is bordered by a berm about 18 inches high along the eastem edge, presumably a result of the path cut from Bayside Road north to Lucy Line Trail, visible in aerial photographs. The historical drainage pattern southwest to Bayside Road was disrupted by development and regrading of the landscape of the neighboring lot to the south, as evidenced in aerial photographs. Drained Area: The area upslope to the west of Wetland 1 is a drainage area for a sump pump and has wetland characteristics. The vegetation is dominated by reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) and the soil met hydric soil indicators depleted below dark surface (A11) and redox dark surface (F8). No hydrology indicators were observed at time of site visit. Aerial review of the area shows that no wetland signatures were present before development of the area in 1989. WETLAND INVESTIGATION 6 HO LUCE LINE RIDGE ORONO,MINNESOTA AuGusT 2014 CONCLUSION Conclusion One wetland was identified and delineated in accordance with the 1987 United States Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual within the proposed project area located at 80 Luce Line Ridge Orono, MN. Wetlands in the project area may be regulated by several agencies at the local, State, and/or federal level. Activities which may potentially impact those wetlands identified within this report should be discussed in advance with the appropriate regulating agency in regards to potential permit requirements. The Local Government Unit (LGU) responsible for implementing the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act at this project location is the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District requires vegetated buffers around all regulated wetland areas. Wetland buffers must meet the standards specified by the watershed district for any project that is regulated under WCA. ��1�t� �,o��. � �� `��r��, �° �� , °��,;i�. Manage 3 20 feet 16 feet Manage 2 30 feet 24 feet Manage 1 40 feet 34 feet Preserve 75 feet 67 feet Based on the Minnesota Routine Assessment Methodology (MnRAM) wetland functional assessment, Wetland 1 would be classified as Manage 2, and would require a 30 foot buffer(Appendix F) Although the drainage area west of Wetland 1 currently meets criteria for wetlands, based on the data collected in the field, historic aerial review, and timeline of events given by the landowner, it is likely that it is not a historical wetland and therefore not regulated under WCA. In addition, the area appears to be isolated and therefore not likely to be regulated by the Federal Clean Water Act. This wetland investigation meets the standards and criteria described in the 1987 United States Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual all applicable subsequent guidance for an on-site determination and the results reflect the conditions present at the time of the delineation.

This wetland is estimated to cover 0.03 acres. This report reflects conditions on the ground at the date of the assessment and, unless noted or implicit in the standard questions, does not reflect speculation on the future or past conditions. This wetland is located in or near the city of Orono General Features Hydrogeomorphology The maximum water depth at this site is 3 inches, with 15 percent inundated. With an immedidate drainage area of 6 acres, the wetland is well-sized for its catchment area. As a Depressional/Isolated wetland, this site has no discernable inlets or outlets. As such, t is valued for its ability to store water, especially if located lower in the watershed. If it does not already have invasive species in the plant community, its lack of connection to upstream sites with such species may protect it. This wetland has been drained or altered 0% from its original size of 0.03 acres. Soi/s The soils in the immediate wetland area are primarily Hamel clay loam. The adjacent upland, to about 500 feet, is Hamel loam. Vegetation and Upland Buffer The extent of vegetation in this wetland is about 90 percent and the naturalized buffer width averages 75 feet. Vegetated buffers around wetlands provide multiple benefits including wildlife habitat, erosion protection, and a reduction in surface water runoff. This buffer not only provides an excellent buffer for wetland water quality, it also serves as an important resources for wildlife habitat. S�ecial Features There were no special features observed at the site at the time of this assessment Veaetative Communities The following plant communities were observed: (See Appendix A for details on the Dominant Species per plant community) Page 1 of 4 Fresh Wet Meadow Type 2, PEMB. This community had a vegetative index of low and comprised 100 percent of the entire area. The highest rated community was the Shallow Marsh community rated at 0.1. Averaging all the communities together, the Vegetative Diversity and Integrity of this wetland is Low. A more accurate look uses a weighted average; using this method, this site shows a Low Vegetative Diversity and Integrity. The majority of vegetation at this site, such as it is, does not contribute to wetland function beyond water retention and flow resistance. However, because the weighted average can "hide" smaller communities, always check for even small patches of high-quality species. Functional Ratinas Function Rating Comment Vegetative Diversity Low If vegetation is present, the primary communities are compromised by extensive invasive and/or non-native species. Ongoing maintenance will be necessary to restore native ecologic communities, although the presence of invasives upstream will limit the success of restoration efforts. Additional stormwater Moderate Sediment removal would improve the ability of this site to maintain water treatment needs quality. Maintenance of Moderate There has been some degree of human alteration of the wetland Hydrologic Regime hydrology, either by outlet control or by altering immediate watershed conditions. However, the wetland retains some of the hydrologic regime similar to the original wetland type, either in part of the wetland or overall to some extent. Because of the interference (whether active or inadvertant), some characteristic vegetative communities have likely been affected, as also have the functions of flood attenuation, water quality and groundwater interaction. Flood/Stormwater/Att High The wetland provides ample flood storage and/or flood wave enuation attenuation. Outlet configuration is restricted (or unaltered) and undisturbed wetland soils, and dense emergent vegetation without channels allow the wetland to retard flood water. A high proportion of impervious surfaces in the subwatershed, large runoff volumes, clayey upland soils, and few wetlands present within the subwatershed may position any wetland to be a good attenuator of excess water. Downstream Water High This wetland has the ability and opportunity to protect valuable Quality downstream resources, including recreational waters. A wetland with significant emergent vegetation and overland flow characteristics removes sediment from stormwater. A high nutrient removal rating indicates dense vegetation (to maximize nutrient uptake) and sheet flow. The wetland may protect a valuable water resource within 0.5 miles downstream. More (and less-treated) runoff also increase a wetland's opportunity to rate high for this function. Maintaining wide, natural buffers and keeping out surges of untreated stormwater will help maintain this wetland's role as a protector of important resources lower in the watershed. Page 2 of 4 Maintenance of Moderate Wetland water quality is average. Sediment removal from incoming Wetland Water water would benefit the site. Also consider reducing the amount of Quality stormwater directed at the site. Sustaining a diverse wetland may require additional control over upland land use and the buffer. Shoreline Protection Not The site does not fringe a deepwater habitat, lake, or is not within any Applicable type of watercourse. Maintenance of Moderate The site provides good habitat and is relatively accessible to wildlife, Characteristic although it may be somewhat isolated on the landscape and lack the Wildlife Habitat rich vegetative community and complex structure that would support a Structure wider range of wildlife. Maintenance of Not The site is too isolated or does not remain wet enough to support a Characteristic Fish Applicable population of fish or to allow for even temporary use as a refuge. Habitat Maintenance of Not Wetland never or rarely contains standing water and is not inundated Characteristic Applicable longenough most years to allow amphibians to successfully breed. Amphibian Habitat Aesthetics/Recreation Low Inaccessible, distant from population centers, little-used sites that are /Education/Cultural not culturally significant rank poorly even if their other functions rank high. Usually, however, even the most distant sites have a potential for recreational use and will drop to the lowest ranking only if they are negatively affected by human alteration. Wetland restoration Not Because restoration would affect permanent structures or infrastructure potential Applicable (houses, roads, septic systems), this site is not suitable for restoration. Wetland Sensitivity to Moderate This wetland is moderately sensitive to stormwater; Floodplain forests, Stormwater and fresh wet meadows dominated by reed canary grass, shallow and deep Urban Development marshes dominated by cattail, reed canary grass, giant reed or purple loosestrife, and shallow, open water communities with low to moderate vegetative diversity.
