This report outlines the methods used to conduct the delineation and discusses our findings. SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The approximately 4 -acre site is located in the southwest quadrant of Powers Boulevard and Lucy Lake Lane in Chanhassen, Carver County, Minnesota (Figure 1). The parcel is vacant, with the exception of the southern quarter where a single-family residence and garage are located. According to a grading permit issued around 1990, the surface elevation of the Property ranges from 1,008 to 998 feet NGVD. The surface elevation generally slopes downward toward the western side of the Property. Following the results of our Wetland Assessment report dated May 12, 2003, you have requested that we delineate the wetland in the north central portion of the Property. WETLAND DETERMINATION/DELINEATION PROCEDURES Review of Published Information Prior to performing the on-site wetland delineation, we reviewed the Carver County Soil Survey Map, the Excelsior USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangle map, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Protected Waters Inventory (PWI) Map, the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Map, and the City of Chanhassen Wetland Inventory and Classification Map. We also reviewed aerial photographs from the Borchert Map Library at the University of Minnesota, with coverage of the Property from the years 1940, 1951, 1957, 1963, 1987, 1990, 1991, and 1997.

P.E. RICHARD W. PENNINGS, P.E. Mr. Rich Ragatz 2 May 22, 2003 GME Project No. 10427-A Field Methods Our delineation was based on the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, as required by the 1996 Minnesota wetland Conservation Act (WCA). This manual bases the wetland determination on significant aspects of three wetland characteristics: hydric soil conditions, hydrophytic vegetation, and hydrology. These are further described below. We used the routine wetland delineation method defined in the manual. Our delineation work was conducted during the growing season on May 1 and May 13, 2003. In the field, Mr. Eric Stommes, GME Wetland Specialist, observed for the three wetland characteristics across the Property, and staked the boundary between the wetlands and uplands with flagging. A sketch of the Property with the approximate delineation transect and test pit locations are presented as Figure 2. The corresponding data forms have been attached. The delineation transects typically included two to four test areas where we collected soils, hydrology, and vegetation data along the upland/wetland boundary. The test pits were hand -dug to at least 18 inches, and the vegetation was observed in about a 5 -foot radius around each pit for herbs and about a 30 -foot radius for vines, shrubs, and trees. Wetland Soil Indicators We reviewed the National Hydric Soils List to assess the possible hydric status of the soils on the site. However, the presence of a soil on the list does not positively indicate that a soil is hydric in the field. Hydric soils are formed by long-term saturation (7 to 40 days) during a growing season when soil temperatures are above 5°C. Therefore, soil saturated outside of the growing season would not likely exhibit redoximorphic features and would not be considered hydric. Field determination of whether soil is hydric or non -hydric is based on field indicators listed in the 1987 Corps manual, and on regional indicators compiled by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS), National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils (NTCHS). Wetland Vegetation Indicators During our delineation work, we observed the vegetation types and recorded their wetland indicator status. Indicator status is based on the "National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands," published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This national list separates vascular plants into the following five basic groups: are w�rru�ee� ,rr 1 L [1 1 Ll 1 1 1 Mr. Rich Ragatz 3 May 22, 2003 GME Project No. 10427-A 1. Obligate wetland plants (OBL) that occur almost always (estimated probability greater than 99%) in wetlands under natural conditions; 2. Facultative wetland plants (FACW) that usually occur in wetlands (estimated probability 67%-99%), but occasionally are found in non -wetlands; 3. Facultative plants (FAC) that are equally likely to occur in wetlands or non -wetlands (estimated probability 34% to 66%). FAC is further divided into FAC+ for plants on the wetter end of the spectrum, and FAC- for plants on the dryer end of the spectrum; 4. Facultative upland plants (FACU) that usually occur in non -wetlands (estimated probability 67% to 99%), but occasionally are found in wetlands; and, S. Obligate upland plants (UPL) that occur almost always (estimated probability greater than 99%) in non - wetlands under natural conditions. The wetland criterion is met when more than 50% of the dominant species are OBL, FACW, or FAC (excluding the subgroup FAC-). We used the Corps of Engineer's 50/20 Rule to determine dominant species in each plant stratum (i.e., herbaceous, shrub, vine, and tree layers). Wetland Hydrology Indicators We observed for evidence of periodic inundation or saturation within 12 inches of the surface during the growing season. We also observed for other indicators of wetland hydrology, including oxidized root channels in the upper 12 inches, water -stained leaves, sediment deposits, drift lines, and water marks. Wetland Classification We classified jurisdictional wetland basins that we observed using the "Cowardin" criteria, published in Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al., 1979), and the "Circular 39" criteria, published in Wetlands of the United States USFWS Circular 39 (Shaw and Fredine 1971). The Cowardin classification, its abbreviation, and the Circular 39 classification are given for each jurisdictional wetland basin we identified. Mr. Rich Ragatz 4 May 22, 2003 GME Project No. 10427-A WETLAND DELINEATION RESULTS Published and Historical Data Review The NWI Map (Figure 3) shows a small wetland basin in the north central portion of the site, indicating that it is a palustrine, emergent, seasonally flooded wetland (PEMC). The City of Chanhassen Wetland Inventory and Classification Map, which was field checked in September of 1992, and published in March, 1994, shows a small wetland on the Property with the identification "No. 82-11 (3)" (Figure 4). The map describes an "agricultural/urban wetland." On April 30, 2003 we contacted the City of Chanhassen regarding their observation records for this wetland identification; they said that the dominant plant species associated with this wetland included reed canary grass, willow, and sedges. They also indicated that there was no open water, and that the contribution of water to the wetland was from "natural" and stormwater sources. Their wetland observation record also indicates that the wetland had drained to a ditch in the northwest corner of the wetland. Soils analysis or additional hydrologic data were not collected by the City for this assessment. Ms. Lori Haak with the City of Chanhassen stated that the northern two-thirds of the Property is located in the Christmas Lake Watershed district and is outside the shoreland wetland protection zone. We reviewed the Minnesota DNR PWI Map, and our review did not find any indications of DNR classified public waters on the Property (Figure 5). We reviewed the aerial photographs from the Borchert Map Library from the years 1940, 1951, 1957, 1963, 1987, 1990, 1991, and 1997. In the 1940, 1951, 1957, and 1963 aerial photographs, the Property appeared to be grass pastureland. In these photographs, a wetland signature was evident in the north -central portion of the Property, consisting of two -lobes connected by a narrow channel. This wetland signature was positioned in northwest/southeast direction, and portions of the north lobe were on the Property adjacent to the west. In the 1951 aerial photograph, it appeared that there was a drainage ditch extending from the northwest corner of the basin. In the 1980 aerial photograph, it appeared the Property may have been planted with hay, and the south lobe of the wetland signature was not as apparent, while the northern lobe appeared to be open water. Mr. Larry Kerber, who is the Property owner, mentioned that in 1980, the adjacent property owner to the west had blocked the drainage ditch and water had "backed up" in the north lobe. The ditch was subsequently opened soon thereafter. In the 1987 aerial photograph, it appeared the Property may have been mowed and there were no obvious signs of a wetland signature. In the 1990 aerial photograph, the northern third of the Property appeared to have been altered, because the vegetation was sporadic. In the central portion of GYi IV1Y 1111 TlY1! IY" 1 1 1 1 Mr. Rich Ragatz 5 May 22, 2003 GME Project No. 10427-A the Property, we observed a driveway extending off Powers Boulevard leading to an unvegetated area which appeared to have been filled. According to Mr. Kerber, during this time period, he had hauled fill onto the Property. He also stated that prior to hauling the fill onto his Property, he obtained a grading permit from the City of Chanhassen. The City of Chanhassen provided us with several documents which indicated that Mr. Kerber had obtained the permits. In a December 11, 1991 letter from the City of Chanhassen to Mr. Kerber, it was noted that the "expiration of grading permit No. 91-1 was up and that no additional filling could occur without renewal of this permit." The City of Chanhassen also provided a figure as part of the grading permit, which showed the location of the fill limits on the Property; these limits measured approximately 100 feet by 100 feet in the east central portion of the Property. We also observed a letter of transmittal dated May 29, 1992 from the City of Chanhassen which indicated that the grading permit was being reissued. These documents have been appended. In the 1990 aerial photograph there was no obvious evidence of a wetland signature on the Property. In the 1991 aerial photograph, the Property appeared to be mowed and the there was no obvious wetland signatures on the Property. In the 1997 aerial photograph, the northern third of the Property appeared to be slightly darker in color compared to the southern two-thirds of the Property. In addition, Mr. Kerber indicated that in 2000, the adjacent property owner to the west had filled in the drainage ditch which had likely been draining the wetland on the Property. According to the Carver Soil Survey Map (Figure 5) , the soil types mapped on the Property include the Lester -Kilkenny loams with slopes ranging from 2% to 25%. Both of these soil series consist of very deep, moderately well to well -drained soils formed on loamy glacial till, untilled plains, and moraines. These two soil series are not listed as hydric soils. The soils we observed in the wetland area do not match the description of the Lester - Kilkenny complex. Wetland Basin Description The NWI map classified the basin as a palustrine, emergent, seasonal flooded wetland (PEMC; circular 39, type 1 wetland). We observed a relatively steep elevation change on the northeast and south sides of the wetland. No obvious inlets or outlets to the wetland were observed during our site work. It appears that the contributing sources of water are overland runoff from the surrounding sloping ground, and the ditch adjacent to Powers Boulevard. It also appeared that the wetland likely had been mowed in the past. The three test pits which we dug as part of our prior wetland assessment, were used as part of the three transects which were completed for this wetland delineation. Transect 1 was located on the east side of the basin, Transect 2 was located on the west side, and Transect 3 was located through Mr. Rich Ragatz 6 May 22, 2003 GME Project No. 10427-A the southern leg of the wetland. Twenty-two wetland delineation flags were placed around the wetland boundary which were labeled in numerical order. During the wetland assessment, in test pit TP -1, water was encountered in the test pit about 5 inches below grade. In the other two test pits, no groundwater was encountered and there was no standing water in the wetland. During the delineation work, standing water was observed in the depression. This is likely a result of the abnormally high levels of rainfall during the first two weeks of May, 2003. Saturated soils were not observed in the upland test pits, which ranged from 18 to 24 inches deep. As previously noted, the Carver County Soil Survey Atlas mapped the Lester - Kilkenny loams on the Property. These soils may exist on the Property as upland soils, but in the wetland area we observed a mollisol, with a deep A -horizon underlain by a B -horizon, which was generally mottled or gleyed. These wetland soils more resemble a Glencoe or Cordova silty clay loam. In general, we observed black (10YR2/1 and N2/0) silt loams and silty clay loams on the surface to 18 to 23 inches. The A -horizons were generally underlain by the Bg-horizon which had chroma values of 2 or less, with brighter mottle colors. The dominant vegetation within the wetland basin was reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea). Kentucky bluegrass (poa pratensis), Creeping Charlie (Glechoma hederacea), and sedge (carex species) also were present within the wetland basin, in lesser concentration. The vegetation in the upland areas typically was dominated by Kentucky bluegrass. In these same areas we also observed reed canary grass, dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula), buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica), and crown vetch (Coronilla varia). The wetland boundary generally was defined by the transition from the reed canary grass -dominated wetland, to upland areas dominated by Creeping Charlie and Kentucky bluegrass. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS It appears that from the early 1940s through the late 80s, a wetland probably existed on the Property, consisting of a two lobed basin, with a ditch near the northwest corner of the north lobe. In the 1987 to 1997 aerial photographs, the wetland signature of the on the Property was less pronounced than in the previous years. In about 1990, fill was hauled on to the site by the owner, which was permitted by the City of Chanhassen. It appears that a portion of the original wetland, identified in the 1940 through 1980s may have been filled in during this process. Additionally, the property owner adjacent to the west had reportedly filled in a ditch around 2000. This ditch appeared to have been draining the wetland basin on the Property in the past. As a result of the ditch being filled in, it appears that water is standing in this depression for longer periods of time, possibly resulting in a larger wetland area than had historically been present.

Please be aware that no additional filling may occur without renewal of this permit. Upon a site inspection, prior to the mega -snowstorm on October 31, 1991, I noticed the site had not been reseeded and mulched as required with the grading permit. However, due to the inclement weather, I realize this will not be possible until next spring. I will reinspect the site next spring to verify this work has been completed. Please contact me at your earliest convenience with your intentions regarding this site. Sincerely, CITY OF CHANHASSEN David C.

Sharmin Al-Jaff • • Burlwood Page 2 Surface Water Management Fees Water Quality Fees Because of the impervious surface associated with this development, the water quality fees for this proposed development are based on single-family residential development rates of $949/acre. Based on the proposed developed area of approximately 5.17 acres, the water quality fees associated with this project are $4,906.00. Water Quantity Fees The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average citywide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition, proposed SWMP culverts, open channels, and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage. Single-family residential developments have a connection charge of $2,348 per developable acre. This results in a water quantity fee of approximately $12,139.00 for the proposed development. SWMP Credits This project proposes the construction of one storm water pond. The applicant will be credited for oversizing in accordance with the SWMP or the provision of outlet structures. The applicant will not be assessed for areas that are dedicated outlots. No credit will be given for temporary pond areas. At this time, the estimated total SWMP fee, due payable to the City at the time of final plat recording, is $17,045.00.

Type of Project: This is a proposed 9 lot single-family subdivision with lots ranging in size from approximately 15,000 square feet to 21,000 square feet. The homes will start at a finished square footage of approximately 2,000. 5. Project Description: I plan on developing a 9 lot single-family subdivision that would include a 5,963 square feet of type 1 wetland in the backyard of three of the lots. Based on past experience, the future homeowners would not treat it like a wetland (i.e. mow and fertilize), thus it would not be a functioning wetland. There are a limited number of vacant and developable parcels zoned for low density single-family. There also is a high demand for new homes in this area. As a result, I plan to build 9 lots and an 8,000 square foot retention pond. I plan on filling in the entire 5,963 square foot wetland because the new homeowners would not stay out of this type 1 wetland. I will discuss this further in #6 below. I will begin construction on this project upon Final Plat Approval from the City of Chanhassen, which is projected in the fall of 2003. 6. Proiect Alternatives: The first alternative is to do nothing, which will not work because the seller is committed to selling the property to a developer. Also, doing nothing is inconsistent with the current zoning and comprehensive land use plan. In addition, there is an economic incentive to developing the property. The second alternative is to develop the property as a single-family subdivision and build the homes around the existing wetland (preserve it). First of all, the homeowners don't want a type 1 wetland in their backyard (they would probably call it a mud hole). If they did have this wetland in their yard, they would probably mow the reed canary grass and fertilize it. Thus, it would not look, act, or function like a type 1 wetland. As a result, the most feasible alternative is to buy wetland credits. There is not room onsite to mitigate and no credits are available in the City of Chanhassen, other than what the City owns. In addition, buying a site in the City is not feasible economically or timeline wise. Thus, the only alternative is to buy wetland credits that are available in Cologne. PART II REPLACEMENT PLAN SUPPLEMENT 15. Description of replacement: The only replacement wetland, if it is even called a replacement wetland, is the 8,000 square foot infiltration/retention pond. 1) The type of construction is excavated in upland area. 2) Infiltration pond, 8,000 square feet, 10 to 1 slope done to a pond that will be no deeper than 4 feet, there will be no outlet from this pond. 3) Elevations will be predominately 995 and 996 (see attached plan for details). 4) This should not be a factor give the small size and location on site, however, everything will be done to carefully construct this pond. 5) Upon Final Plat Approval from the City of Chanhassen projected to be in September/October of 2003 and it should take less than 30 days. 6) We will plant non-invasive plant species on the slope of the retention pond. 1.

This letter presents the results of our assessment. Site Location and Project Description The approximately 4 -acre site is located in the southwest quadrant of Powers Boulevard and Lucy Lake Lane in Chanhassen, Carver County, Minnesota (Figure 1). The majority of the parcel is vacant with the exception of the southern quarter which has a single family residence and garage. You requested that we assess the possibility of wetlands existing in a depression in the north -central portion of the Property. You plan to purchase the Property for development of a residential subdivision. We conducted a wetland assessment based o review of available data, to determine the existing on the Property. This assessment wetland delineation.

Mr. Rich Ragatz 2 May 12, 2003 GME Project No. 10427 predominance of hydric soils," and "under normal circumstances, support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation." Site Reconnaissance We completed our site reconnaissance on May 1, 2003. We observed a depression in the north -central portion of the Property which continued west onto the adjacent Property. On the north, east, and south sides of this depression on the Property, there was a relatively steep elevation change. We observed no obvious inlets or outlets to the depression, and it appeared that the contributing source of water was overland runoff from the surrounding sloping ground and ditch off Powers Boulevard. It also appeared that the vacant portion of the Property had been mowed in the past. We hand dug three test pits in the depressional area to observe for obvious signs of wetland characteristics (Figure 2). The temperature of the soil at 20 inches below the surface was 5.5 degrees Celsius. The COE definition of the growing season, when wetland assessments/delineations should be performed, is that the soil temperature must be greater than 5 degrees Celsius at a depth of 20 inches. In test pit TP -1, we observed saturated soil conditions at the surface. Approximately 1-1/2 hours later, the water level in the pit was approximately 5 inches below the surface. In test pits TP -2 and TP -3, neither saturated soil conditions nor free water was encountered during or after the test pits had been dug to a depth of 24 inches. Saturated soil in the upper 12 inches is a primary indicator of wetland hydrology. In test pit TP -1, at the surface we encountered black (10YR 2/1) silt loam to 6 inches, underlain by black silty clay loam to 14 inches followed by a very dark gray (10YR 3/1) silty clay loam. From 19 to 23 inches, a dark gray (2.5Y 4/1) silty clay loam with dark grayish brown mottles were observed in this horizon. From 23 to 29 inches, we note grayish brown (10.5Y 5/2) silty clay loam with gray mottles. In test pit TP -2, very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) silt loam was encountered from the surface to 6 inches. From 6 to 10 inches, the soil color was light olive brown (2.5Y 5/3) with grayish brown and dark yellowish brown (2.5Y 5/2 & 10YR 4/4). The soil color from 10 to 24 inches was very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) with very dark brown and dark yellowish brown (10YR 2/2 & 10YR 4/4) mottles. The subsoils at this location generally consisted of sandy clay loam to BMF CONSULTANTS, INC. Mr. Rich Ragatz GME Project No. 10427 sandy loam, with distinct (6 to 10 inches) below indicating that this soil 3 mottles first the dark A is hydric. May 12, 2003 observed in the Bt horizon horizon (0 to 6 inches), In test pit TP -3, black (10YR 2/1) silt loam was encountered from the surface to 7 inches. From 7 to 12 inches, dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) silt loam was encountered, underlain by very dark grayish brown (2.5Y 3/2) and grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2) silty clay loams to 24 inches. Soil mottling was observed in the soils from 7 to 12 inches. In our professional opinion, the soils in these test pits meet the criterion of a hydric soil. Near test pit TP -1, the dominant plant species was reed canary grass; the dominant plant species in the area of test pit TP -2 were reed canary grass and Kentucky blue grass. Around test pit TP -3, the dominant plant species in the herb stratum included Kentucky bluegrass, smooth brome, and reed canary grass. In the shrub stratum, black spruce was the dominant species, and in the tree stratum, black ash was the dominant species. The Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual states that a predominance of wetland species (over 50% of the dominant plant species are hydrophytic) is a positive indicator of a wetland. At test pits TP -1 and TP -3, the percentage of dominant species that are hydrophytic exceed 50%; at test pit TP -2, the dominant species that are hydrophytic was 50%. Published Data Review The National Wetland Inventory (NWI) map (Figure 3), shows a small wetland basin in the north -central portion of the site, indicating that it is a seasonally flooded emergent wetland (PEMC). On the City of Chanhassen Wetland Inventory and Classification Map, which was field checked in September of 1992 and published in March, 1994, there is a small wetland with the identification No. 82-11 (3) on the site (Figure 6). In addition, the map notes that this was "an agricultural/urban wetland." We contacted the City of Chanhassen regarding their observation records for this wetland identification; they said that the dominant plant species associated with this wetland include reed canary grass, willow, and sedges. They also indicated that there was no open water, and that the contribution of water to the wetland is from "natural" and storm water sources. The wetland observation record also indicates that the wetland had drained to a ditch in the northwest corner of the wetland. Soils analysis or additional hydrologic data were not collected by the City for this assessment. Ms. Lori Haak with the City of Chanhassen stated that the northern GME COMGULTAIETG, INC, Mr. Rich Ragatz GME Project No. 10427 two-thirds of the Watershed district. 4 Property is located May 12, 2003 in the Christmas Lake We reviewed the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Public Waters Inventory (PWI) Map (Figure 5). Our review of the map did not find indications of DNR classified public waters on the Property. The DNR typically only has jurisdiction over "public waters." We reviewed the aerial photographs from the Borchert Map Library at the University of Minnesota, with coverage of the Property from the years 1940, 1951, 1957, 1963, 1987, 1990, 1991, and 1997. In the 1940, 1951, 1957, and 1963 aerial photographs, the Property appeared to be grass pastureland. In these aerial photographs, a wetland signature was evident in the north -central portion of the Property, consisting of a two -lobed basin that was narrow in the middle. This wetland signature was positioned in northwest/ southeast direction, and portions of the north lobe were on the Property adjacent to the west. In the 1951 aerial photograph, it appeared that there was a drainage swale extending from the northwest corner of the basin. In the 1980 aerial photograph, it appeared the Property may have been planted with hay, and the south lobe of the wetland signature was not as apparent, while the northern lobe appeared to be open water. You told us that the owner had indicated that in 1980, the adjacent Property owner to the west had blocked the drainage ditch and water had "backed up" in the north lobe. In the 1987 aerial photograph, it appeared the Property may have been mowed and there was no obvious signs of a wetland signature in this photograph. In the 1990 aerial photograph, the northern third of the Property appeared to have been altered, because the vegetation was sporadic. In the central portion of the Property, we observed a driveway extending off Powers Boulevard leading to an unvegetated area which was distinctly different from the surrounding landscape. In addition, in this aerial photograph, there was no obvious evidence of a wetland signature on the Property. In the 1991 aerial photograph, the Property appeared to be mowed, and there was no obvious wetland signature on the Property. In the 1997 aerial photograph, the northern third of the Property appeared to be slightly darker in color than the southern two-thirds of the Property. According to the Carver County Soil Survey Map (Figure 4), the soil types on the Property include the Lester -Kilkenny loams, with slopes ranging from 2% to 25%. Both of these soil series consist of very ONE CONSULTANTS, INC. Mr. Rich Ragatz 5 May 12, 2003 GME Project No. 10427 deep, moderately well to well drained soils formed in loamy glacial till, untilled plains, and moraines. These two soil series are not listed as hydric soils. Therefore, it does not appear that the soils we observed in the depressional area would be described as the Lester -Kilkenny complex. Findings and Conclusions It appears that from the early 1940s through the late 1980s, a wetland likely existed on the Property, which consisted of a two - lobed wetland basin, with a drainage ditch/swale near the northwest corner of the north lobe. Based on the aerial photographs, from 1987 to 1997, a wetland signature was not evident on the Property. The three test pits we dug in the low depressional area showed that only one of the areas satisfied the three wetland criteria, consisting of hydric soils, the prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology. According to the NWI map which was completed in 1989, there is a small wetland located in the north -central portion of the Property, and the City of Chanhassen had identified a wetland on the Property in the same area in 1992. Reco=iendations We recommend that you submit this report to the Local Government Unit (LGU) which is the City of Chanhassen for review and comment. We further recommend that the existing wetlands be delineated and the square footage be computed. Wetland impacts from any proposed development would have to be mitigated at 2:1 ratio, either on-site or through off-site wetland credits. It is our understanding that if the wetland is 2,000 square feet or less, and is a type 1, 2, or 6 wetland (which appears to be the case here), the de minimis exemption may apply to the Property so that a wetland replacement may not be necessary because it is not in a shoreline wetland protection area (i.e., the wetland is further than 1,000 feet from Christmas Lake). General Qualifications This report completes our services for the project. our opinions and conclusions presented in this report are based on data produced during this study and are limited to this specific project and location, on the dates described herein. We exercised the current standard of care for this type of project normally exercised by other professionals practicing in this field. No warranty, express or implied, is made regarding the condition of the site.
