The application was received on October 25,2010 and completed on November 16,2010. The delineation was performed by Svoboda Ecological Resources on August 30,2010.The delineation report is attached.Due to seasonal constraints,the application will be denied based on the inability to review the boundary in the field. It is recommended that the applicant re-apply for approval of wetland type/boundary during the start of the next growing season(—May 2011). 2.APPLICATION REVIEW AND DECISION Signing and mailing of this completed form to the appropriate recipients in accordance with 8420.0255,Subp. 3 provides notice that an application was made to the LGU under the Wetland Conservation Act as specified above.

Wetland soils harbored a depleted matrix with sapric inclusions overlain.There were also common and distinct redoximorphic features present as soft masses throughout the profile. The upland soils did have a depleted layer at 15 inches but did not test out for the F3 indicator based on depth of the depleted layer.There were no redoximorphic features present within the upland soil profile. The presence of hydrology was based on secondary indicators within the wetland sample area.There were no indicators of hydrology present within the upland sampling area. SER classified Wetland 1 as a Type 1 PEMA seasonally flooded wetland. Detailed soils,vegetation,and hydrology data for the delineated jurisdictional wetland is provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documentation Section.

Wetland 2 appears to be a ditched flow-through wetland connecting to wetland on the property to the south and to Wetland 3 via a culvert. Wetland 3 appears to be upstream from Wetland 2 which flows to the wetland south of the property boundary and out of the evaluated area. Dominant vegetation within the wetland basin includes reed canary grass and Kentucky bluegrass along with other hydrophytic sub-dominants such as hummock sedge(Carex stricta), narrow-leaf Svoboda Ecological Resources 840 Old Crystal Bay Rd. Project No.:2010-027-03 4 Jeff Martineau/Coldwell Banker-Bumet NOV 16 2010 Wetland 4 is the largest wetland within the property boundary and spans the entire width of the property on its east side. Wetland 4 is a ditched flow-through wetland with hydrologic connections from the north and flowing down stream to the south. The ditched area extends in a north-south direction through the center of the basin along the west side of the tree line(Photo 6).This wetland also exists within a low lying area next to slopes of 10 percent or more on either side which is likely another factor governing its large size given that water run-offmay flow down the slopes during rain events. Wetland 4 is a complex of two wetlands due to the vegetation transition that exists within the wetland bounds. The west side of Wetland 4 harbors more grasses such as reed canary grass and Kentucky bluegrass along with stinging nettle (Urtica dioica)and milkweed (Asclepias syriaca). Vegetation on the eastern side is more wooded and harbors green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), American elm (Ulmus americana) and an herbaceous layer containing wood nettle (Laportea canadensis)and various polygonum species. Vegetation along the upland areas consist of brome grass(Bromus inernris),and other grass and forb species. Soils tended to be saturated within the interior of the wetland basin nearest the ditch and contain sapric inclusions with some redox features present within 12 inches of the soil surface.Upland soils were sandy and dry as to be expected due to the sleep slopes existing along the upland transition zone. Some redox concentrations were present but appeared below the 12 inch margin. SER classified Wetland 4 as a Type 7/3 P/FO1/EMCd hardwood swamp and shallow marsh wetland complex. Detailed soils,vegetation,and hydrology data for the delineated jurisdictional wetland is provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documentation Section.
