Application Number: 05-279 Type of Application(check one): ❑ Exemption Decision ❑ No Loss Decision ® Replacement Plan Decision ❑ Banking Plan Decision ❑ Wetland Type/Boundary Decision Date of Decision: 10-19-07 Check One: N Approved ❑Approved with conditions(see note on page 2 regarding use of wetland banking credits) ❑Denied Summary of Project/Decision(indicate exemption number per MN Rule 8420.0122,if applicable): Mr.Jim Hatchett made an After the Fact Wetland Replacement Plan Application for 900 square feet of impact to a Type 3 wetland in 2005. The 900 square foot wetland was excavated by Mr.Hatchett into a 14,000 square foot Type 5 (open water basin). Mitigation for this impact was required at a ratio of 4:1. MCWD is considering the excavation self mitigating as wetland hydrology,soils and vegetation are present.

(JE)visited the above referenced site to perform an official wetland delineation in accordance with the 1987 U.S.Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. Adjacent site use includes woodlands,wetlands, a golf course, and residential. This parcel is a combination of a residential lot,woodlands,and wetlands. Figure 1 Is a site location map of the property. All figures referenced by this report are presented at the end of the text 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 This wetland delineation was performed on May 20,2005 by Wayne Jacobson, Minnesota Professional Soil Scientist#30611, Society of Wetland Scientists—Professional Wetland Scientist #1000,American Fisheries Society—Associate Fisheries Scientist#A-171. Methodology Topographic maps, National Wetlands Inventory maps,the Hennepin County Soil Survey, and DNR Protected Waters maps were consulted to locate potential wetland habitats. The hydric soil assessment procedure of the Routine On-site Determination Method was used on this site. In this method,the fallowing procedures were used: 1) The vegetative community was sampled in all present strata to determine whether 50%of the dominant plant species were hydrophytic. 2) Soil pits were dug using a dutch auger to depths of 18"-36°, noting soil profile and any hydric soil characteristics. 1 3) Signs of wetland hydrology were noted and were compared to field criteria such as depth to shallow water table and depth of soil saturation found in the soil pits. Wetland edges were marked with sequentially numbered pin flags. 4-1oot wood lath marked with orange"wetland boundary"flagging tape or flagging tied on vegetation may be used if site conditions warrant. The wetland was mapped by Precision Surveys, Inc. using modem survey methods. Wetland classification follows the methods used by the National Wetlands Inventory. The circular 39 classification Is also given. At least one sample point transect crosses each delineated wetland edge. These transects 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 or where questionable conditions exist. Sample points are marked with blue and white striped flagging. Sample data sheets are found in Appendix A. Results Two wetlands were delineated on the parcel(Figure 5). These wetlands were described as follows: Basin 7 Basin 1 was a Type 3 PEMC shallow marsh with a fringe emergent layer of reed canarygrass. Other fringe species noted included stinging nettle,jewelweed,green ash, and american elm. The interior of the wetland off the property to the east was principally vegetated by broadleaf cattail. The underlying soils were Hamel and hydrology was provided through precipitation, groundwater,and runoff. Basin 2 Basin 2 was a Type 5 PUBGx open water pond with fringe species noted including sedge, blueflag iris, oats, and kentucky bluegrass. The underlying soils were Hamel and hydrology was provided through precipitation, groundwater, and runoff. Reportedly this basin was excavated and there was a pre-existing wetland of approximately 900 square feet in size, so this area has been enlarged. The National Wetland Inventory Map(NWI)(Figure 2)does Identify one wetland(Basin 1)in the location flagged on the subject site. According to the DNR Public Waters Map(PWI)(Figure 4)of Hennepin County there are no DNR Public Waters on this site. According to the Hennepin County Soil Survey(Figure 3)the following hydric soils existed on the parcel: Peat and Muck Hamel Photographs were taken of the site and are being retained at Jacobson Environmental, PLLC. 2 CgEluslon This wetland delineation meets the standards and criteria described in the 1987 U.S.Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual for a Routine On Site Determination and the results reflect the conditions present at the time of the delineation. if unavoidable impacts are planned for this project permits would be necessary from the LGU (Minnehaha Creek Watershed District)and other agencies. I certify that I performed the field analysis and wrote the report for this wetland delineation. Thank you for the opportunity to provide wetland services on this important project. ff. -11125-11*i- Wayne E.JacobsoiV Date Professional Soil Scientist#30611 Professional Wedand Scientist#1000 Associate Fisheries Scientist#A-1 71 Jacobson Environmental,PLLC. �QST.PAUL,11,1Aj 1��y 4 Y t��►��aaasveecaoea�°��\� � L 8 ." 3 C011�1'tIoBpmwY��Ikix 966` - lq_tf'tiOWYL N. t �� _r CCU a �"J � ,, '� .� - -�. ,,�,� - r:; 'C;#i+�.h- _ '� 1 ice, � •'�� •� €1• �� - - .1� ` off-- - r �� ' l P tt el M4 i r _ - r cif - • �� _., .. ,.� � , fie^\ t'L;.—� - • f a • z1, "1 P Sags 7 J 12 Q Ilkr 'ass• - � t{ v'- +�,�-�. -..
