Botanical Garden, 1991). Indicator status of plant species was taken from the National List of
Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 Minnesota (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, 1988).
III. RESULTS
Review of Soils. NWI. DNR and FSA Information
The National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) (Excelsior and Shakopee Quadrangles, U.S. Fish
& Wildlife Service, 1991) showed one PFOIC wetland in the northwest comer of the property
and one large L 1 UBH lake (Lotus Lake) along the east edge of the site (Figure 3).
The Soil Survey of Carver County, Minnesota (USDA on line soil survey, 2004) indicated
Hamel loam and Lester-Kilkenney loams as soil types present on the site (Figure 4). Hamel is a
hydric soil indicative of wetland conditions when undrained.
The DNR Protected Waters Map, Carver County (Sheet 2 of2, Minnesota DNR, 1984)
indicated DNR Protected Water 10-6P (Lotus Lake) at the east edge of the property (Figure 5).
The OHWL for Lotus Lake is 896.3 msl (1929 datum).
Wetland Determinations and Delineations
Potential wetlands were evaluated in greater detail during field observations. One wetland and
one lake edge were identified and delineated on the subject site (Appendix A). Corresponding
data forms are included in Appendix B. The following description of the wetlands and
surrounding upland reflects field conditions observed at the time of site visit. At that time,
vegetation was actively growing, temperatures were in the 80's and hydrology was assumed to
be typical of summer.
Wetland 1 was a Type 1 (pFOIA/PEMA) basin in the northwest portion of the site. Dominant
vegetation consisted of reed canary grass with lesser amounts of green ash, American elm,
beggar ticks, and duckweed. Soils observed below the wetland boundary met the F3 field
indicator for hydric soils (depleted matrix). The prima..')" indicators of wetland hydrology
inCluded sediment deposits and water-marks up to 3 inches on trees. Free water was observed
within 14 inches of the soil surface at the sample plot.
Adjacent upland consisted of deciduous woods dominated by sugar maple with lesser amounts of
red oak, basswood, and Virginia creeper. Upland soils were without redoximorphic features and
no primary or secondary indicators of wetland hydrology were observed.
The delineated boundary followed a change in topography and plant communities. The wetland
corresponded to an NWI-mapped PFOIC wetland but was mapped with non-hydric soil (Lester-
Kilkenney).
Lake edge (L 1 UBH) consisted of the abrupt Lotus Lake edge; a deepwater habitat. Vegetation
observed along the edge included green ash and beggar-ticks along an abrupt drop off to water
more than I-foot deep. Adjacent upland consisted of a combination of sugar maple-dominated
woods, Kentucky bluegrass lawn and private docks.

The delineated boundary followed an abrupt change in topography. The lake edge corresponded
to DNR Protected Water 10-6P (Lotus Lake), and an NWI-mapped LIUBH lake complex.
v. SUMMARY
. The Karon Property was inspected on September 7, 2006 for the presence and extent of
wetland.
. The NWI-map showed one PFOIC wetland in the northwest part of the site and one
LIUBH lake as the east property boundary.
. The soil survey indicated Hamel loam as a hydric soil present on the site.
. The DNR map indicated a DNR Protected Water 10-6P (Lotus Lake) on the east edge of
the property.
. One Type 1 wetland and one lake edge was delineated on the subject property.

v. CERTIFICATION OF DELINEATION
The procedures utilized in the described delineation are based on the COE 1987 Wetland
Delineation Manual as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and the Minnesota
Wetland Conservation Act. Both the delineation and report were conducted in compliance with
regulatory standards in place at the time the work was completed.
All site boundaries indicated on figures within this report are approximate and do not constitute
an official survey product.
