SEPTEMBER 2015
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Executive Summarv
Anderson Engineering of Minnesota, LLC was retained to provide professional wetland services to identify
those areas meeting wetland criteria utilizing the 1987 United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
Wetland Delineation Manual (Technica/ Report Y-87-1; January 1987) and all supplemental guidance
documents within the residential property at 2625 North Shore Drive, Orono, Minnesota. Geographically,
the parcel is located in Section 9, Township 117 North, Range 23 West.
One Type 1/3, PEM1/F01/A/C, floodplain forest/shallow marsh was field delineated within the identified
project boundary(Appendix A. Figure 5).

BACKGROUND 8�METHODOLOGY
BackQround
As requested by Tim O'Connor, Anderson Engineering of MN, LLC completed a wetland investigation at
the residential property located at 2625 North Shore Drive, Orono, Minnesota.
Geographically, the site is located in Section 9, Township 117 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 Associates Kristina Justen and Alison
Hruby on August 27,2015. The weather was sunny and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
Methodolos�v
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.

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)identifies one PEM1 C wetland within the property.
USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey:
The Soil Survey of Hennepin County, MN (Appendix A. Figure 3) identifies two hydric soil units, Muskego
muck and Tadkee loamy fine sand, within the property.
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory:
The MN DNR PWI for Hennepin County, MN (Appendix A. Figure 4), identify Minnetonka-Crystal Bay and
French Marsh (South) adjacent to the property. The Ordinary High Water Level (OHW) of Lake
Minnetonka-Crystal Bay is located at an elevation of 929.59' (NAVD88).
30 Day Rolling Precipitation Data:
A review of the 30 day rolling 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 the vicinity of the project area. The overall hydrologic conditions were suitable for completing an
accurate wetland determination and boundary delineation.

FIELD REVIEW
Field Review
Wetland 1: Wetland 1 is a Type 1/3, PEM1/F01/A/C floodplain forest/shallow marsh. The wetland extends
off-site to the north and west, the on-site portion is approximately 0.56 acres in size. The wetland is
primarily vegetated with hybrid cattail (Typha x glauca), common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) and
orange jewelweed(Impatiens capensis). The underlying soils are mapped as Muskego muck, a hydric soil.
The investigated soil profile met the loamy mucky mineral (F1) hydric soil indicators. Hydrology indicators
observed include high water table (A2), saturation (A3), geomorphic position (D2), and the FAC-Neutral
Test(D5).
The upland buffer surrounding the wetland consists of common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) and
American elm (U/mus americana). Gentle slopes form the transition into the wetland.

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 2625 North Shore
Drive, 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 may require vegetated buffers around all regulated wetland
areas. Wetland buffers must meet the standards specified by the watershed district and the City for any
project that is regulated under WCA.
See Appendix E for Minnesota Routine Assessment Methodology (MnRAM) wetland functional
assessment. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District inventory classifies this wetland as a Manage 3.
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.
I certify that I performed the fie/d analysis and wrote the report for this wet/and determination.

MnRAM Site Assessment Report Friday, August 28, 2015
Wetland: Reda Anderson Project: Reda Anderson
Wetland ID: 25, Township 117, Section 9, Range 23
HENNEPIN County, Mississippi (Metro)Watershed, Corps Bank Service Area #7
Site conditions were Normal. This wetland is estimated to cover 0.6 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
Hydrogeomorpho/ogy
The maximum water depth at this site is 6 inches, with 70 percent inundated. With an immedidate drainage
area of 1 acres, it is doubtful that this wetland is sustainable given its small 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 0.6 acres.
Soils
The soils in the immediate wetland area are primarily Muskego muck. The adjacent upland, to about 500 feet,
is Muskego muck.
Veaetation and Upland Buffer
The extent of vegetation in this wetland is about 100 percent and the naturalized buffer width averages 0 feet.
Vegetated buffers around wetlands provide multiple benefits including wildlife habitat, erosion protection, and
a reduction in surface water runoff.
This buffer provides very little, if any, protection of water quality or habitat for wildlife.
Special Features
There were no special features observed at the site at the time of this assessment
Veqetative Communities
The following plant communities were observed:
(See Appendix A for details on the Dominant Species per plant community)
Floodplain Forest Type 1, PEM1A. This community had a vegetative index of moderate and comprised 20
Page 1 of 4
percent of the entire area.
Shallow Marsh Type 3, PEM1C. This community had a vegetative index of moderate and comprised 80
percent of the entire area.
The highest rated community was the Fresh Wet Meadow community rated at 1. Averaging all the
communities together, the Vegetative Diversity and Integriry of this wetland is Moderate. A more accurate
look uses a weighted average; using this method, this site shows a Moderate Vegetative Diversity and
Integrity.
The weighted average provides the best measure for an entire wetland. Plant communities at this site are,
overall, of average quality. Individual community ratings should be examined to provide a complete picture of
possible high-value communities or smaller-but-poor-quality segments that might degrade the site over time.
Functional Ratinqs
Function Rating Comment
Vegetative Diversity Moderate Moderate-functioning vegetative communities indicate a presence of
native wetland species with substantial non-native or invasive species.
Additionat stormwater Moderate Sediment removal would improve the ability of this site to maintain water
treatment needs quality.
Maintenance of High Due either to careful human management or lack of alteration of the
Hydrologic Regime outlet or watershed conditions, the wetland maintains a hydrologic
regime similar to the original wetland type. This stability supports
characteristic vegetative communities and is closely associated with
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.
Maintenance of Moderate Wetland water qualiry 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 Moderate Permanently flooded but isolated wetlands can support native
Characteristic Fish populations of minnows and some isolated deep marshes have
Habitat intermittent populations of sunfish and northern pike after flood events.
Poor water quality, due to runoff and insufficient buffer and vegetation,
can affect the sustainability of fish populations.
Maintenance of Low Predatory fish are always present and winter habitat unsuitable as site
Characteristic often freezes to the bottom. High inputs of untreated stormwater or
Amphibian Habitat unfiltered runoff contribute to poor water quality and reproductive
conditions.
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.
