Wetland Delineation Report
Dave Harmann Property
Orono, Minnesota
April 27, 2012
Background
Graham Environmental Services, Inc. (GES)was retained to delineate wetlands
at a single-family residence located west of North Old Crystal Bay road and north
of Fox Street in the City of Orono, Minnesota. The project area is located in part
of the NE '/ SW '/ Section 4, T117N, R23W, Hennepin County, Minnesota
(Figure 1). As shown on the U.S.G.S. Quadrangle map (Figure 2), the site is
relatively flat but slopes down toward the west.
On April 11, 2012, GES conducted an evaluation of the site, collecting data and
delineating a wetland which runs north and south in the western portion of the lot
as shown in Figure 3.
Methodologies
The wetland was delineated using the on-site methods contained in the "Routine
Determinations" section of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers "Wetlands
Delineation Manual' (Technical Report Y-87-1, 1987), as well as "Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual: Midwest Region"
(U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2010). These are the methodologies currently used to
determine wetlands by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for implementation of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act and by Local Government Units under the Wetland
Conservation Act.
GES classified the wetland under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)
Cowardin system, Circular 39 and Eggers and Reed methodologies. Soil colors
described herein follow Munsell Soil Color Charts. Hydric soil properties
described follow Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States(Untied
States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Vasilias, G. . Hurt and C.V. Noble (eds.). USDA, NRCS, in cooperation with the
National Tec nical Committee for Hydric Soils).
Results
The delineatwetland is associated with a very small drainage channel which
had approxi ately three inches of water in it and was not flowing on the day of
observance. Offsite to the north, the wetland transitions into a larger cattail
marsh. Offs' a to the south, the wetland also transitions into a cattail marsh. The
wetland on t e property is characterized as a forested wetland. Specifically, we
would classify the on-site wetland as follows:
Cowardin Circular 39 Eggers/Reed
PFO1 C(Seasonally Flooded Deciduous Type 1 Floodplain forest(3A)
Forested)
Data was collected at two transects (see Figure 3 for locations). Transect 1 was
on the east side of the wetland and Transect 2 was on the west side.
Transect 1
Dominant vegetation in the wetland at Transect 1 consists of eastern cottonwood
(Populus deltoides), common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) and reed canary
grass (Phalaris arundinacea). Dominant vegetation in the upland consists of
Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis).
Soils in the wetland at Transect 1 are described as 10YR 2/1 mucky silt loam.
Upland soils are described as 10YR 2/1 sandy loam with 10YR 4/4 mottles
starting at 12 inches below the surface. The upland immediately adjacent to the
wetland consists of mowed turf on a gentle slope.
Hydrology in icators in the wetland include surface water, a high water table,
saturation, g omorphic position and the FAC-neutral test. The upland did not
meet any by rology indicators.
Transect 2
Dominant vras
station in the wetland at Transect 2 consists of green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanic ), black willow(Salix nigra), reed canary grass, Kentucky bluegrass
and Canada oldenrod (Solidago canadensis). Dominant vegetation in the
upland consi is of red cedar(Juniperus virginiana), box elder(Acer negundo),
green ash, a d Kentucky bluegrass.
Soils in the w tland at Transect 2 are described as 10YR 2/1 mucky clay loam.
Upland soils re described as 10YR 2/2 sandy loam over 10YR 2/1 clay loam.

The upland immediately adjacent to the wetland consists of a slope that is
somewhat steeper than the upland slope at Transect 1.
Hydrology indicators in the wetland include saturation, geomorphic position and
the FAC-neutral test. Hydrology indicators in the upland included FAC-neutral
vegetation.
For more detailed information on the delineated wetland and upland
characteristics, see data forms in Appendix A.
The National Wetlands Inventory map is included in Figure 4 and the Hennepin
County soil survey is attached as Figure 5. The Minnesota DNR Protected
Waters Inventory map of the area is also enclosed (Figure 6). There are no
DNR Protected waters or wetlands within the property boundaries.
Ground photos taken from each transect location are included in Figures 7 and
8.
The information contained herein represents our findings during wetland
delineation activities conducted on April 11, 2012 at the referenced site.
