1If impacts are temporary; enter the duration of the impacts in days next to the “T”. For example, a project with a temporary access fill that
would be removed after 220 days would be entered “T (220)”.
2Impacts less than 0.01 acre should be reported in square feet. Impacts 0.01 acre or greater should be reported as acres and rounded to the
nearest 0.01 acre. Tributary impacts must be reported in linear feet of impact and an area of impact by indicating first the linear feet of impact
along the flowline of the stream followed by the area impact in parentheses). For example, a project that impacts 50 feet of a stream that is 6
feet wide would be reported as 50 ft (300 square feet).

If any of the above identified impacts have already occurred, identify which impacts they are and the circumstances associated
with each:
1 The term “impact” as used in this joint application form is a generic term used for disclosure purposes to identify
activities that may require approval from one or more regulatory agencies. For purposes of this form it is not meant to
indicate whether or not those activities may require mitigation/replacement.
Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014 Page 6 of 12
Attachment A
Request for Delineation Review, Wetland Type Determination, or
Jurisdictional Determination
By submission of the enclosed wetland delineation report, I am requesting that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District
(Corps) and/or the Wetland Conservation Act Local Government Unit (LGU) provide me with the following (check all that apply):
Wetland Type Confirmation
Delineation Concurrence. Concurrence with a delineation is a written notification from the Corps and a decision from the LGU
concurring, not concurring, or commenting on the boundaries of the aquatic resources delineated on the property. Delineation
concurrences are generally valid for five years unless site conditions change. Under this request alone, the Corps will not address
the jurisdictional status of the aquatic resources on the property, only the boundaries of the resources within the review area
(including wetlands, tributaries, lakes, etc.).
Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination. A preliminary jurisdictional determination (PJD) is a non‐binding written indication
from the Corps that waters, including wetlands, identified on a parcel may be waters of the United States. For purposes of
computation of impacts and compensatory mitigation requirements, a permit decision made on the basis of a PJD will treat all
waters and wetlands in the review area as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. PJDs are advisory in nature and may not be
appealed.
Approved Jurisdictional Determination. An approved jurisdictional determination (AJD) is an official Corps determination that
jurisdictional waters of the United States are either present or absent on the property. AJDs can generally be relied upon by the
affected party for five years. An AJD may be appealed through the Corps administrative appeal process.
In order for the Corps and LGU to process your request, the wetland delineation must be prepared in accordance with the 1987
Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, any approved Regional Supplements to the 1987 Manual, and the Guidelines for
Submitting Wetland Delineations in Minnesota (2013).

Attachment B
Supporting Information for Applications Involving Exemptions, No Loss
Determinations, and Activities Not Requiring Mitigation
Complete this part if you maintain that the identified aquatic resource impacts in Part Four do not require wetland
replacement/compensatory mitigation OR if you are seeking verification that the proposed water resource impacts are either
exempt from replacement or are not under CWA/WCA jurisdiction.
Identify the specific exemption or no‐loss provision for which you believe your project or site qualifies:
Provide a detailed explanation of how your project or site qualifies for the above. Be specific and provide and refer to attachments
and exhibits that support your contention. Applicants should refer to rules (e.g. WCA rules), guidance documents (e.g. BWSR
guidance, Corps guidance letters/public notices), and permit conditions (e.g. Corps General Permit conditions) to determine the
necessary information to support the application. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the WCA LGU and Corps Project
Manager prior to submitting an application if they are unsure of what type of information to provide:
Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014 Page 8 of 12
Project Name and/or Number: Avienda, Chanhassen, MN
Attachment C
Avoidance and Minimization
Project Purpose, Need, and Requirements. Clearly state the purpose of your project and need for your project. Also include a
description of any specific requirements of the project as they relate to project location, project footprint, water management,
and any other applicable requirements. Attach an overhead plan sheet showing all relevant features of the project (buildings,
roads, etc.), aquatic resource features (impact areas noted) and construction details (grading plans, storm water management
plans, etc.), referencing these as necessary:
See Sections 1, 2, 3, and 5 of the attached Avienda Wetland Permit Application.
Avoidance. Both the CWA and the WCA require that impacts to aquatic resources be avoided if practicable alternatives exist.
Clearly describe all on‐site measures considered to avoid impacts to aquatic resources and discuss at least two project alternatives
that avoid all impacts to aquatic resources on the site. These alternatives may include alternative site plans, alternate sites, and/or
not doing the project. Alternatives should be feasible and prudent (see MN Rules 8420.0520 Subp. 2 C). Applicants are encouraged
to attach drawings and plans to support their analysis:
See Section 5 of the attached Avienda Wetland Permit Application.
Minimization. Both the CWA and the WCA require that all unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources be minimized to the greatest
extent practicable. Discuss all features of the proposed project that have been modified to minimize the impacts to water
resources (see MN Rules 8420.0520 Subp. 4):
See Section 5 of the attached Avienda Wetland Permit Application.
Off‐Site Alternatives. An off‐site alternatives analysis is not required for all permit applications. If you know that your proposal
will require an individual permit (standard permit or letter of permission) from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, you may be
required to provide an off‐site alternatives analysis. The alternatives analysis is not required for a complete application but must
be provided during the review process in order for the Corps to complete the evaluation of your application and reach a final
decision. Applicants with questions about when an off‐site alternatives analysis is required should contact their Corps Project
Manager.
See Section 3 of the attached Avienda Wetland Permit Application.

Right now we have a bunch of credits tied up in purchase agreements. We only have about 3.5 credits not
under PAs. We expect to have a deposit of about 6 acres very soon though. That would put us at just
under 9.5 credits. We would quote you $35k/credit. Please let me know if you have any other questions or

We currently have 0.5635 acres of Shallow Marsh and 0.2622 acres of wetland credit available. Those credits
are available at $0.99/sq ft as discussed.
I expect a deposit of 10+ acres in the very near future (maybe next week). After that, we'd be willing to sell up
to approximately 2.5 acres of Deep Marsh for $0.99/sq ft. We will have shallow marsh available also, but the
price for those would be $1.06 and we want to hoard them as much as possible. All are Corps-approved.
If interested, I can draft a PA in draft form to review.

Subject:Re: Price quote for upland Corps approved bank credits
Sure Melissa-
The bank still contains the entire 1.7458 credits as listed on the BWSR site.
As far as a breakdown is concerned, if you mean a type breakdown, the 1.7201 credits that are listed as U’s can
be used in any combination of 3’s or 4’s, based upon how these credits would have been allocated had they
been split into the wetland groups initially, as the Corps does now. If you propose these be used as either of
these types and the Corps has any questions or concerns with this (although I doubt they will) I will discuss this
with them.
And pricing for over 1 acre of credits would stay at the $1.35 I quoted you earlier.
Lastly, I am leaving late morning tomorrow for a spring break trip so if you would like a PA drafted sooner than
later, please let me know today or first thing tomorrow. Otherwise, I will be back at my desk Friday of next
week and happy to get it to you then.

According to how the Corps is currently depositing buffer credits, the buffer in Account #174
should be in-kind for Types 3 & 4. Does that help? Other than that, there’s not much I can do
other than our pricing does drop by $0.05 per sq foot for purchases over an acre, so if you’re
ratio is higher than 2:1 (which it sounds like would put you over an acre) we would be at $1.35

Since the credits are upland and not wetland (and ideally I need wetland), I’m
anticipating that the corps will make me replace at a higher ration than 2:1. Probably
2.25 or 2.5:1. Can you counter with a slight discount (15% ‐ $1.20) for the non‐wetland

9. Land use.
Describe current and recent past land use and development on the site and on adjacent lands.
Discuss project compatibility with adjacent and nearby land uses. Indicate whether any potential
conflicts involve environmental matters. Identify any potential environmental hazards due to past
site uses, such as soil contamination or abandoned storage tanks, or proximity to nearby
hazardous liquid or gas pipelines.
• Discuss past and current land use at the project’s site.
• Generally, “proximity” means within a mile or so of the project; however, the distance can
be greater in specific instances.
• If a site assessment for past contamination has been done, include a brief summary of
the results.
• Discuss what is adjacent to the site (all directions).
• Note any nearby features of concern, including areas where vulnerable populations live
or visit such as nursing homes, schools, day care centers, water resources, parks, etc.
• Indicate the distance and direction to the nearest residential receptor. Since air and
water contamination can potentially travel in any direction, please include all residential areas
surrounding the site. You may need to contact the city or county in which the project is located
for information.
Past land use in the project area has been agricultural based uses, mostly row crops. Since the
2005 AUAR, much of the project area has developed to include low and medium density
residential uses consistent with the assumptions established in the original AUAR. Included in the
gross acreage calculations are 77 acres of wetland, 79 acres of floodway, and 168 acres of
primary Bluff Creek Overlay District. The following table provides a breakdown of existing land
use in the project area.
