Bren Homes-Wetland�nvestigation#13499 April 30,2013 Executive Summary 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 Wetland Delineation Manual (Technical Report Y-87-1; January 1987) and all supplemental guidance documents within the residential property located at 475 Oxford Road, Orono, Minnesota. One Type 3, PEMC, shallow marsh totaling approximately 0.04 acres was identified within the parcel. The wetland is associated with Lake Minnetonka. 3 A E Anderson Engineering of MN, LLC. E3ren Homes-Wetland Investigation#13499 April 30,2013 Backqround As requested by Thomas Bren Homes Inc., Anderson Engineering of MN, LLC completed a wetland delineation on the residential property located at 475 Oxford Road, Orono, Minnesota. Geographically the site is located in Section 5, 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 Scientist Marc Cottingham and Environmental Associate Kristina Justen on April 29, 2013. Weather conditions were partly sunny and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Methodoloqv 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 of Hennepin County, Minnesota. Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory and available aerial photographs were consulted to initially locate potential wetland habitats. The hydric soil assessment procedure of the 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 greater than 50% of the dominant plant species present were hydrophytic. 2) Soil pits were dug using a Dutch auger to depths of 16"-36", noting soil profile and any hydric soil characteristics. 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. 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. Sample points were marked in the field with orange pin 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. 4 q E Anderson Engineering of MN, LLC Bren Homes-Wetland InvesUgation#13499 April 30,2013 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 two wetlands within the project area. The NWI identifies the wetland as: • One Type 3, PEMC shallow marsh. • One Type 5, L1 UBH shallow open water. Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey: The Soil Survey of Hennepin County, MN (Appendix A. Figure 3) identifies hydric soil within the project area. The identified soils include • Hamelloam • Muskego muck • Tadkee loamy fine sand Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory: According to the MN DNR PWI for Hennepin County, MN (Appendix A. Figure 4), Lake Minnetonka-Stubbs Bay is located on the western portion of the project area. Antecedent Precipitation Data: A review of the antecedent precipitation data collected from the University of Minnesota Climatology Working Group (Appendix D) indicate that precipitation totals for the previous Weeks were slightly above average in Hennepin County and hydrologic conditions were suitable for completing an accurate wetland determination and boundary delineation. Field Review One Type 3 PEMC, shallow marsh was identified onsite. The wetland extends off-site to the north and west. The on-site portion is approximately 0.04 acres in size. The wetland was dominated by common cattail (Typha angustifolia) and Reed Canary Grass (Phalaris arundinacea). The underlying soils are mapped as Muskego muck. The investigated soil profile met the Black Histic (A3) hydric soil indicators. Indicators of wetland hydrology included surface water, the FAC-Neutral Test and geomorphic position. Based on the Minnesota Routine Assessment Methodology for Evaluating Wetland Functions (MnRAM), this wetland is classified as Manage 1. Due to the wetland being located adjacent to Lake Minnetonka, which is classified as a Preserve, this wetland will be treated as a Preserve. Additional Investiqated Areas: One wooded area dominated by smooth brome and common buckthorn on the north side of the project area was investigated and determined to be non-wetland. This area is described on Data Form SP-3 (Appendix B). The mapped soil was Hamel loam. The investigated soil for this area did not meet hydric criteria and there was no evidence of persistent wetland hydrology. 5 A E Anderson Engineering of MN. LLC. Bren Homes-Wetland Investigalion#13499 April 30,2013 Conclusion One Type 3, PEMC, shallow marsh totaling approximately 0.04 acres was identified within the residential parcel located at 475 Oxford Road, Orono, Minnesota. Wetlands in the project area are 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. Any activity for which a permit is required under this Wetland Protection Rule, that increases the imperviousness of the subject parcel must provide for buffer adjacent to each wetland and public waters wetland. To the extent the buffer requirement applies to a proposed New Principal Residential Structure, it will be applied in accordance with protections afforded a zoning nonconformity under state law so as not to unduly restrict the proposed action. Buffer must be provided on that part of the wetland edge that is down gradient from the activity or construction and around each wetland that will be disturbed. The Base Buffer Width shall be determined by the management class of the wetland as evaluated by the DistricYs Functional Assessment of Wetlands or by the current version of the Minnesota Routine Assessment Method (MnRAM). Management Class Base Buffer Width Minimum Applied Buffer Width Manage 3 20 feet 16 feet Manage 2 30 feet 24 feet Manage 1 40 feet 34 feet Preserve 75 feet 67 feet Buffer vegetation shall not be cultivated, cropped, pastured, mowed, fertilized, subject to the placement of mulch or yard waste, or otherwise disturbed, except for periodic cutting or burning that promotes the health of the buffer. Pesticides and herbicides may be used in accordance with Minnesota Department of Agriculture rules and guidelines. No new structure or hard surface shall be placed within a buffer. No fill, debris or other material shall be excavated from or placed within a buffer. Buffer areas, or portions thereof, that are not vegetated or will be disturbed by grading activities during construction, shall be replanted and maintained. 6 q E Anderson Engineering of MN, LLC.

This wetland is estimated to cover 0.1 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 40 percent inundated. With an immedidate drainage area of 2 acres, it is doubtful that this wetland is sustainable given its small catchment area. As a Lacustrine Fringe wetland, this site located at the edge of deepwater areas and may be considered shoreland. As such, it protects from possible erosive wave effects and may be used as a spawning area for fish. This wetland has been drained or altered 0%from its original size of 0.1 acres. Soi/s The soils in the immediate wetland area are primarily Muskego muck. The adjacent upland, to about 500 feet, is Tadkee, Hamel. Vegetation and Uqland Buffer The extent of vegetation in this wetland is about 30 percent and the naturalized buffer width averages 15 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. As a shoreline wetland, this site has the potential to protect from erosion and provide spawning and nursery habitat for fish and wildlife. Wetlands located in areas with strong currents and wave action have the greatest potential for protecting shoreline. Shorelines composed of sandy or erodible soils will benefit the most from shoreline wetland protection. Special Features K Local Shoreland Management Plan area. L State Coastal Zone or Shoreland Management Plan area. Page 1 of 4 M Shoreland area identified in a zoning ordinance. N Floodplain area identified in a zoning ordinance or map. VeQetative Communities The following plant communities were observed: (See Appendix A for details on the Dominant Species per plant community) Shallow Marsh Type 3, PEMC. This community had a vegetative index of low and comprised 0 percent of the entire area. Functional RatinQs Function Rating Comment Vegetative Diversity Low If vegetation is present, the primary communities are compromised by extensive invasive and/or non-native species. Ongoing maintenance will be necessary to restore native ecologic communities, although the presence of invasives upstream will limit the success of restoration efforts. Additional stormwater Moderate Sediment removal would improve the ability of this site to maintain water treatment needs quality. Maintenance of Moderate There has been some degree of human alteration of the wetland Hydrologic Regime hydrology, either by outlet control or by altering immediate watershed conditions. However, the wetland retains some of the hydrologic regime similar to the original wetland type, either in part of the wetland or overall to some extent. Because of the interference (whether active or inadvertant), some characteristic vegetative communities have likely been affected, as also have the functions of flood attenuation, water quality and groundwater interaction. Flood/Stormwater/Att Moderate The wetland provides some flood storage and/or flood wave enuation attenuation. It may have either an altered or unrestricted outlet, disturbed wetland soils, thin or little emergent vegetation (with channels) or it may be situated high in a watershed with a low proportion of impervious surfaces, moderate runoff volumes, loamy upland soils, and one or more other wetlands present within the subwatershed. Downstream Water Moderate This wetland has some ability and opportunity to protect downstream Quality resources. The ability of the wetland to remove sediment from stormwater is determined by emergent vegetation and overland flow characteristics. A high nutrient removal rating indicates dense vegetation and sheet flow to maximize nutrient uptake and residence time within the wetland. The opportunity for a wetland to protect a valuable water resource diminishes with distance from the wetland so wetlands with valuable waters within 0.5 miles downstream have the greatest opportunity to provide protection, as do those that receive more (and less-treated) runoff. Page 2 of 4 Maintenance of Moderate Wetland water quality 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 Moderate This fringe site provides some protection against erosive action. Reducing the amount of buffer that is manicured would further protect the adjacent water resource, as would increasing the buffer width. 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 High The site has a direct connection to spawning or nursery habitat, or may Characteristic Fish provide refuge or shade for native species of fish. Low amounts of Habitat sediment mean that eggs are not smothered; good water quality supports fish health. 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 Moderate Many wetlands are visible from nearby buildings or roads and are /Education/Cultural accessible for some recreational activities. Excess negative human influence(such as trash or alteration)will reduce the ranking of well- used and highly-accessible sites. 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.
