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. Project No.:2011-034 1 Steven&Anne Ryan � � 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). Svoboda Ecological Resources 25 Myrtlewood Rd. Project No.:2011-034 2 Steveci&Anne Ryan 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. Svoboda Ecological Resources 25 Myrtlewood Rd. Project No.:2011-034 4 Steven&Anne Ryan 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. Svoboda Ecological Resources 25 Myrdewood Rd.

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.

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.

TYPE LOCATION: Ozaukee County, Wisconsin; about 1 mile east and 2 1/2 miles south of Fredonia; 2,500 feet north and 500 feet west of the southeast corner of sec. 11, T. 11 N., R. 21 E. or 350 feet north and 375 feet west of end of farmstead driveway; USGS Fort Washington topographic quadrangle; latitude-43 degrees, 25 minutes, 58 seconds N. and longitude- 37 degrees, 56 minutes, 34 seconds W.NAD 27. RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Thickness of the herbaceous organic layers and depth to coprogenous material(sedimentary peat)ranges from 16 to 51 inches. Fibers are derived primarily from herbaceous plants. Some pedons contain fragments of twigs, branches, or logs that range from 1/8 to 5 inches in diameter and amount to less than 15 percent of the volume. Reaction ranges from strongly acid to neutral (water, 1:1) in the surface rier and from strongly acid to slightly alkaline(water, 1:1)in the subsurface and bottom tiers. Silty clay loam overwash, clay loam substratum, marshy(ponded), and flooded phases are recognized in some places. The surface tier has hue of lOYR, 7.SYR, or neutral, value of 2 or 3 and chroma of 0 to 2. The herbaceous organic part of the subsurface and bottom tiers has hue of SYR, 7.SYR or lOYR or is neutral in hue. Value is 2 or 3 and chroma is 0 to 4. It is dominantly muck (sapric material), but some pedons have layers of mucky peat(hemic material)up to 10 inches thick. The Lco horizon has hue of lOYR, 2.SY, SY, or SGY, value of 2 to 5 and chroma of 1 to 3. It is coprogenous material. Reaction ranges from neutral to moderately alkaline and carbonates are present in some pedons. The Lco horizon has slightly plastic consistence and shrinks upon drying to form hard clods that are difficult to re-wet. COMPETING SERIES: These are the Moston and Toto series. Moston soils have sand below the limnic layer within the 51 inche control section. Toto soils have marl and sand below the limnic layer within the 51 inch control section. GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: The Muskego soils commonly are in depressional areas principally associated with glacial lake plains and flood plains, but other geographical locations are not excluded. Slope ranges from 0 to 2 percent. These soils formed in herbaceous organic material dominantly from grasses, sedges, and reeds over coprogenous limnic material (sedimentary peat). Mean annual temperature ranges from 46 to 52 degrees F. Mean annual precipitation ranges from 25 to 40 inches. The frost free period ranges from about 130 to 180 days. Elevation ranges from 679 to 1400 feet. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the Hour7hton and Klossner series. Houghton soils are in nearby areas where the organic deposits are more than 51 inches thick and coprogenous material is not in the lower part of the control section. Klossner soils are in areas where the coprogenous material is absent and the herbaceous organic material is underlain by loamy mineral material. DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Very poorly drained. The potential for surface runoff is low or negligible. Permeability is moderate or moderately rapid in the herbaceous sapric material and slow in the coprogenous material (sedimentary peat). Most Muskego soils have an apparent water table from 1 foot above the surface to 1 foot below the surface in most years for much of the period from November to August. Some Muskego soils have an apparent water table from 3 feet to 1 foot above the surface in most years for much of the period from January to December. USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas remain in natural vegetation and provide wildlife habitat.Natural vegetation is dominantly grasses, reeds, and sedges with scattered hardwoods. A few areas have been drained and are used cropland. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southern Wisconsin and southern Minnesota and in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio.

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. Exce ted from the 1987 Manual,H drolo ic Zones—Nontidal Areas Zone Name Duration Comments Wetland or Not I Permanently Inundated 100% Inundation>6.6 ft.mean Not(Aquatic Habitat Zone,or Deep Water water de th Habitat Semipermanently To Nearly �75_ Inundation defined as II Permanently Inundated Or <100% �6.6 feet mean water Wetland Saturated de th III Regularly Inundated Or �25-75% Wetland Saturated N Seasonally Inundated Or <12.5- Wetland Saturated 25% Many areas having these Irregularly Inundated or o Wetland(if hydrophytic veg.and hydric V Saturated �5-12.5/o hydrologic characteristics soils also present are not wetlands Intermittently Or Never o �'eas with these VI Inundated Or Saturated �5/o hydrologic characteristics Not are not wetlands A-1 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. A-2 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.
