BACKGROUND
As requested by John Klingelhutz, Anderson Engineering of Minnesota, LLC completed a wetland investigation at
Carver County parcel ID: 250261800 located at 1560 Bluff Creek Drive, Chanhassen, Minnesota. This project area
is in Section 26, Township 116 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 Regional Supplement.
The purpose of this study was to identify areas meeting the technical criteria for wetlands, delineate the
jurisdictional extent of the wetland basins, and classify the wetland habitats in the project area.
Fieldwork for this site investigation was completed by Wyatt Benton and Dylan Kruzel, on May 23, 2023. The
weather was partly sunny and 76 degrees Fahrenheit.
BACKGROUND & METHODOLOGY
WETLAND INVESTIGATION
KLINGELHUTZ PROPERTY
CHANHASSEN, MN
June 21, 2023 P a g e 5
METHODOLOGY
U.S. Geologic Service 7.5” Topographic Quadrangle maps, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland
Inventory (NWI) maps, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory (PWI) maps, U.S.
Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey, and available aerial photographs
were consulted to initially locate potential wetland habitats.
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 it met hydrophytic
vegetation criteria based on the indicators identified in the Midwest Regional Supplement.
2. Soil pits were dug using a Dutch auger to depths of twenty-four to forty-two inches. The soil profile was
noted in addition to any hydric soil characteristics.
3. Signs of wetland hydrology were noted and compared to field criteria such as depth to shallow water
table and depth of soil saturation found in the soil pits.
Data from sample points were recorded on Army Corps of Engineers Midwest Region Wetland Determination Data
Forms (Appendix B). At least one sample point transect crosses the delineated wetland edge. This transect consists
of an upland sample point and a wetland sample point. Other sample points may be in areas which have one or
more other wetland criteria present; where questionable conditions exist; or to verify the absence of wetland
criteria. Photographs of each resource is included in the resource review summary pages.
All sample points and the delineated aquatic resource extent were located using a Trimble Geo XH sub-meter GPS
unit. Where appropriate, the lateral extent of perennial, intermittent, and/or ephemeral tributaries were
delineated based on channel physical characteristics to include the bed and bank, water staining, shelving,
disturbance to vegetation, and other characteristics identified in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory
Guidance Letter 05-05 on Ordinary High-Water Mark (OHWM) Identification (2005). Perennial means surface
water flowing continuously year-round and intermittent means surface water flowing continuously during certain
times of the year and more than in direct response to precipitation. Ephemeral flows only during and soon after
precipitation inputs; an ephemeral river has no groundwater inputs or base flow.

RESOURCE REVIEW
The below described data were reviewed as part of the aquatic resource field delineation. A summary of each
resource contained within the project area follows.
USDA – NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE SOIL SURVEY
Soil survey data for Carver County was obtained and reviewed prior to the delineation. Table 2 provides a list of
the mapped soils in the project area. Figure 3 in Appendix A depicts USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
mapped soils within the project categorized by total percentage of hydric components.

Hydric soils are defined in the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States: Guide for Identifying and Delineating Hydric
Soils, version 8.2, 2018; The 1987 United States Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual; and The Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Midwest Region (Version 2.0).
MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES PUBLIC WATER INVENTORY
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory for Carver County does identify public
water in the project extent (Appendix A, Figure 4).
30-DAY ROLLING PRECIPITATION DATA
A review of the 30-day rolling precipitation data collected from the University of Minnesota Climatology Working
Group (Appendix C) indicates that precipitation totals for the weeks prior to the site visit were in the range of
average in the general project area. The overall hydrologic conditions were suitable, (if not avg.) for completing
an accurate wetland determination and boundary delineation.

OFFSITE HYDROLOGY REVIEW
An offsite hydrology review was completed in accordance with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers/Board of Soil and
Water Resources Guidance for Offsite Hydrology/Wetland Determination (July 2016). One investigation area was
identified based on review of aerial photos from 2003 to 2022. A total of seventeen aerial photos (2003, 2005,
2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022) representing normal
precipitation conditions were used in the analysis (Appendix E). The analysis revealed wet signatures ≥ 50 percent
of normal conditions reviewed in the investigation area. This data, along with other offsite information (i.e.,
National Wetland Inventory, County Soil Survey) was used to inform if the secondary hydrology indicator
saturation visible on aerial imagery is checked on wetland determination forms.

The onsite review also surveyed one investigation point (IA-A) in an area of the property displaying geomorphic position
and identified in the offsite aerial review as investigation area A. The concave basin has three 8–12-inch tile inlets
effectively draining hydrology from the area. The vegetation primarily consists of smooth brome (Bromus inermis) and
common burdock (Arctium minus) and no hydric soil indicators were identified.

CONCLUSION
No wetland(s), or portions thereof, were identified and delineated within the project area and in accordance with
the 1987 United States Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual.
Project area aquatic resources may be regulated by several agencies at the local, state, and/or federal level.
Activities which may potentially impact wetlands should be discussed in advance with the appropriate regulating
agency regarding potential permit requirements. The Local Government Unit (LGU) responsible for implementing
the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act at this project location is Riley-Pugatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District.
Riley-Pugatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District and the City of Chanhassen may require vegetated buffers around
all regulated wetland areas. Wetland buffers must meet the standards specified by the Riley-Pugatory-Bluff Creek
Watershed District and the City of Chanhassen for any project that is regulated under the Wetland Conservation
Act.
This wetland investigation meets the standards and criteria described in the 1987 United States Army Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and all applicable subsequent guidance for an on-site determination. The
results reflect the conditions present at the time of the delineation.
I certify that I performed the field analysis and/or wrote the report for this wetland determination.
