ABSTRACT
Svoboda Ecological Resources (SER) visited the above referenced properry on November 22,
2011 to examine the site for the presence of areas meeting wetland criteria. The study parcel is
located within the City of Orono, Hennepin Counry Minnesota, (Figure 1). One wetland
boundary was delineated at this site. One sample transect was established along the wetland
boundary in order to characterize the soil, vegetation, and existing hydrology within the
wetland-to-upland transition zone.
INTRODUCTION
The subject parcel is appro�cimately 1.41 acres in size with a single-family home located on the
east side of the property. The western side of the site is dominated by grasses, hardwood trees
and some scrub-shrub vegetation. Manicured lawn is noted near the home on the east side. The
topography of the site is mostly flat within the wetland areas and flat in areas surrounding the
home on the east side of the property. However, there is a relatively abrupt decline extending
from east to west starting at the central portion of the property leading toward the delineated
wetland (Photo 3). The surrounding land use consists mostly of single-family homes. The
identified wetlands were 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.
Please find within the Technical Documentation Section; field data sheets, plant indicator status
informarion, soil survey information, and wetland definition information. A Photo Log is also
located at the end of this report depicting the subject parcel at the time of the site visit.
The purpose of this wetland delineation is to identify the wetland boundary in relation to a
proposed shed that will be located at the top of the hill close to the existing home. The distance
from the delineated wetland edge to the proposed footprint of the shed at its westernmost side is
approximately 125 feet. SER used GIS in the office to arrive at this measurement. Also please
see Photo 4 on the last page of this report for a picture showing the proposed footprint of the
shed area and the wetland area in the distance.
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 wetland
sites less than 5 acres. This methodology is followed in order to assess whether the three
Svoboda Ecological Resources 25 Myrtlewood Rd.

� �
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
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 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).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." "...This Regional Supplement is designed 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), Web Soil Survey of Orono and Hennepin
County maps (Figure 3), Minnesota Protected Waters maps (Figure 4), and 2010 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 transition zone in order to characterize the
vegetation, soils, and hydrology of the site. Transects consisted of a representative upland
sample point and a representarive wetland sample point. Information obtained from the sample
points can be found on the field data sheets located in the Technical Documentation 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. Wetland classification followed 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 Documentation Section, was
determined using the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands —Region 3 (Sabine
1999).

RESULTS
Background Information-(Office-Based Investigation)
The NWI map (Excelsior Quadrangle) illustrates one National Wetland Inventory wetland (one
PEMF)present within the property boundary(Figure 2).
The Web Soil Survey of Orono and Hennepin County classifies one individual soil series and
one soil complex present on the subject property (Figure 3). The mapped complex (Houghton
and Muskego depressional) is a "hydric" soil and the individual mapped soil series (Lester loam
moraninic) was classified as"non-hydric" soil. The soil series descriptions for each of these soils
are given in the Technical Documentation Section at the end of this report.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, State Protected Waters Map (Public Water
Inventory), indicates one Public Water wetland(27-830 V�present within the property boundary
(Figure 4). This public water falls within the bounds of the delineated wetland.
Site Visit
SER ecologists examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria
during the site visit. One wetland area met the jurisdictional criteria of a wetland for which a
boundary was determined and delineated. The approximate wetland boundary is outlined in
yellow (Figure 5).
Wetland 1
Wetland 1 is located at the west end of the property. Dominant vegetation within Wetland 1 was
narrow-leaf cattail (Typha angustifolia) and sedge species (Carex spp.) Reed canary grass
(Phalaris arundinacea)was also dominant within Wetland 1 along the fringes.
Sample Point Data Analysis
The vegetation transition zone along Sample Transect 1-1 at Sample Point(SP) 1-1 WET
started with a dominance of reed canary grass, and narrow-leaf cattail in the herbaceous
layer, red oak (Quercus rubra) and green ash (FrczYinus pennsylvanica) in the tree
stratum, and common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) in the shrub layer. Percent cover
in the herb layer totaled 65 percent with the remaining area being dead vegetation and
bare soil. Both the dominance test, and the prevalence index were met.
The vegetation transition to upland yielded a dominance of red oak trees, common
buckthorn e�sting in the shrub and herbaceous layer, and finally, garlic mustard(Alliaria
petiolata) in the herb layer. The dominance test was not met at the upland point. Total
coverage of upland vegetation was 32 percent at the upland point within the herbaceous
layer. The remaining area was bare soil and some dead vegetation.
Soils at SP 1-1 WET were black silt loams down to 16 inches with redoximorphic
concentrations at 1 percent within the upper 4 inches, increasing to 5 percent redox from
Svoboda Ecological Resources 25 Myrtlewood Rd.
Project No.:2011-034 3 Steven&Anne Ryan
� ,
4 to 16 inches. Below the 16 inch margin a peat/fibric layer was identified that emitted a
strong sulfidic odor.
Soils at the upland sample point were very dark gray loams at the surface with the same
matrix color starting at 14 inches with 1 percent redoximorphic concentrations and clay
loam textures. From 16 inches down to 22 inches the soils transitioned to black matrix
colors with 5 percent redox concentrations and clay textures.
Saturation was identified at 10 inches below the ground surface at the wetland point.
Geomorphic position and a positive FAC-neutral test were also noted as secondary
indicators. There were no hydrology indicators present at the upland sample location,
however.
SER delineated Wetland 1 as a Type 3,PEMF, Shallow Marsh wetland.
DISCUSSION
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 November 22,2011.
SER personnel examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria
during the site visit and delineated the edge of one wetland basin consisting of one wetland type
within the property boundary as being jurisdictional wetland (Figure 5). Detailed soils,
vegetation and hydrology data for Wetland 1 is provided in the data sheets of The Technical
Documentation Section.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Activities which 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(LGLn.
➢ 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.

i �
While the wetland boundaries that SER has delineated are not official until approved by a WCA
approved local government unit (LGL�, 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 has resulted 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 continuing 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.

HOUGHTON SERIES
The Houghton series consists of very deep,very poorly drained soils formed in
herbaceous organic deposits more than 51 inches thick in depressions on lake plains,
outwash plains, ground and end moraines and on floodplains. These soils have
moderately slow to moderately rapid permeability. Slope ranges from 0 to 2 percent.
Mean annual precipitation is about 35 inches, and mean annual temperature is about 50
degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Euic,mesic Typic Haplosaprists
TYPICAL PEDON: Houghton muck- on a level area in a cultivated field. (Colors are
for moist soils unless otherwise stated.)
Oal--O to 9 inches;black(N 2.5/0)broken face and rubbed muck(sapric material); about
5 percent fiber, a trace rubbed;weak coarse subangular blocky structure; neutral (pH 7.0
in KCl); abrupt smooth boundary.
Oa2--9 to 13 inches;black(N 2.5/0)broken face,very dark brown(7.SYR 2/2)rubbed
muck(sapric material); about 5 percent fiber, a trace rubbed; weak medium granular
structure;neutral(pH 7.0 in KCl); abrupt smooth boundary.
Oa3--13 to 24 inches; dark reddish brown(SYR 3/2)broken face, dark reddish brown
(SYR 2/2)rubbed muck(sapric material); about 15 percent fiber, less than 5 percent
rubbed; massive,breaking to thick platy fragments; neutral(pH 7.0 KCl); abrupt smooth
boundary.
Oa4--24 to 32 inches;black(SYR 2/1)broken face and rubbed muck(sapric material);
about 10 percent fiber, a trace rubbed; massive; about 1 percent woody fragments;neutral
(pH 7.0 in KCl); clear wavy boundary.
Oa5--32 to 48 inches; dark reddish brown(SYR 2/2)broken face,black(SYR 2/1)
rubbed muck(Sapric material); about 20 percent fiber, less than 10 percent rubbed;
massive,breaking to thick platy fragments; neutral(pH 7.0 in KCl); abrupt smooth
boundary.
Oa6--48 to 80 inches; dark reddish brown(SYR 2/2)broken face and rubbed muck
(sapric material); about 10 percent fiber, less than 10 percent rubbed; massive; slightly
sticky; about 15 percent mineral soil;neutral(pH 7.0 in KCl).
TYPE LOCATION: Clinton County, Michigan; about 3 miles northeast of the village of
Bath; 200 feet north and 400 feet east of the southwest corner of sec. 12, T. 5 N.,R. 1 W.
USGS Bath topographic quadrangle, lat. 42 degrees 49 minutes 43.4 seconds N. and long.
84 degrees 52 minutes 56.9 seconds W.;NAD 27.
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
Semiallmoo series. Similar soils are the Adrian, C�rbondale, Gi•eenwood, Linwood,
Lu�tc�n, Palms, Rii1e, 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. The mean annual precipitation ranges from about 30 to 42 inches, and
the mean annual temperature is about 48 to 53 degrees F.
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. Southern part of the lower
peninsula of Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois. The series is
of large extent.
MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: Indianapolis, Indiana

THE TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION SECTION
Wetland Definition
, _ ,
WETLAND DEFINITION
According to the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers "Wetlands Delineation Manual" (1987
Manual; the document used by all delineators to define wetlands) a wetland 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 prevalence of vegetation typically
adapted for life in saturated soil conditions." The Minnesota State Wetland Conservation Act
Rules, Chapter 8420, 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
sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated
soil conditions; and (3) under normal circumstances, support a prevalence of hydrophytic
vegetation." The 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Manual in Part II, item 24. states that,
"The interaction of hydrology, vegetation, and soil results in the development of characteristics
unique to wetlands. Therefore, the following technical guidelines for wetlands are based on the
three parameters, and diagnostic environmental 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 parcel
described in this report.
Wetland Hydrology
The most important wetland criterion is hydrology. The presence and persistence of water
influences the vegetation types and changes soil morphology. Hydrology may be observed as
standing water(inundation), or may be observed as freestanding water within the soil 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 hydrology indeed exists. The 1987 Corps Manual also 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 observed in Table 1 below.

Y '� k
The definition of appropriate hydrology according to the 1987 Manual includes two important
terms that must be clarified. First, the definition of a growing season is needed. The growing
season is defined in the 1987 Manual as: "...the portion of the year when soil temperature
(measured 19.7 inches below the surface) is above biological zero (5° C or 41° F)." According to
the 1987 Manual this period of time can be approximated by using the "starting and ending dates
for the growing season based on a 28° F air temperature threshold at a frequency of 5 years in
10." Based on this definition the growing season ranges approximately 160 days to 180 days in
the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area(160 in the northern suburbs and greater to the south).
Therefore, the required inundation or saturation to the surface for 5% 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 hydrology definition from the above paragraph to be clarified
is "in most years". This means in 5 of 10 years hydrology must exist within a "jurisdictional
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. In the event that precipitation
events accumulate to above or below normal during just prior to a site visit or during a more
intensive hydrology study, the data may be confounded by non-normal circumstances and may
be considered outside the bounds of "most years". Ideally, both antecedent soil moisture
conditions and precipitation 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) usually within the upper 12 inches.
This is what would be considered primary hydrology indicators. Examination of this indicator
requires digging a soil pit to a depth of 16 inches and observing the level at which water stands
after sufficient time has been allowed for water to drain into the hole. The required time will
vary depending on soil texture. This level represents the depth to the water table; the depth to
saturated soils will always be nearer the surface due to the capillary fringe. According to the
Hydrology criteria in the 1987 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 enough 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 wetland hydrology, there are
secondary indicators (e.g. oxidized root channels, water-stained leaves, local soil survey data,
FAC-Neutral test), of which two must be present to consider the sample point as having wetland
hydrology.

Y " r
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
excessive water content. When hydrophytic vegetation comprises a community where indicators
of hydric soils and wetland hydrology also occur, the area has wetland vegetation." In more
standard terms, some plants are more adapted to growing within inundated or saturated soil.
Based on literature records and professional experience, a panel of experts compiled a list of
plant species and assigned each a hydrophytic status (described below and includes five major
classes of probability of a plant 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 Manual 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
upland 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 delineator. 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 warrant
additional transect samples.
