I delineated three wetlands, one wholly-contained, and two partially-contained, on property
owned by Mr. David Stockdale located at 8301 Audubon Road located in the NWl/4 of the
SWI/4 Section 14, T 116 N, R 23 W, City ofChanhassen, Carver County, Minnesota. I
completed this delineation on August 8, 2007. This delineation was necessary because Mr.
Stockdale intends to subdivide this piece of property. Mr. Stockdale had his Surveyor locate my
boundary flags the week after I completed the delineation. I have included three figures in this
report but all features in these figures are approximate locations and not based on survey data.
Figure I is a vicinity map. Figure 2 depicts the soils survey data and the National Wetland
Inventory data overlain onto the 2003 aerial photograph. Figure 3 depicts the approximate
locations of the three delineated wetlands and the sample points overlain onto the 2003 aerial
photograph. I obtained all quadsheet-Ievel data from the Minnesota DNR Data Deli site
(www.deli.dnr.state.mn.us). I" obtained the aerial orthophoto from the Minnesota Geographic
Data Clearinghouse (www.lmic.state.mn.us/chouse). I obtained soils survey data from the
USDA Geospatial Data Gateway (www.datagatewav.nrcs.usda.gOv). I generated all site level
data using ARCView GIS (Version 3.3). I have included data sheets as Appendix A, and these
data include specific, technical information observed at sample points. I have included all
relevant wetland information in the narrative descriptions of each wetland including
classification, number of flags, and sample point numbers.
that more than 50 percent of the dominant species are OBL, FACW, or FAC on lists of plant
species that occur in wetlands. The wetland habitat dependence of some plants are further
narrowed by using a positive or negative sign after the indicator which identifies plants on the
higher or lower portion of the range, respectively. A F AC- plant is not a hydrophyte because it
occurs less than 50-percent of the time in wetlands. I assessed dominants using the 50-20 Rule
detailed in the 1987 Manual.

Soils. Hydric soils are those soils thatformed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or
ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper
part (1998 NRCS Field Indicators). The following criteria reflect soils that meet the hydric soils
definition.
Technical Criteria
1 All Histosols except Folists
Definition. The CE (Federal Register 1982) and the EP A (Federal Register 1980) jointly define wetlands as:
Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration
sufficient to support, and that under nonnal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically
adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar
areas.
2. Soils in Aquic suborders, great groups, or subgroups, Albolls suborder, Aquisalids, Pachic subgroups, or
Cumulic subgroups that are:
a. Somewhat poorly drained with a water table equal to 0.0 foot from the surface during the
growing season. or
b. poorly drained or very poorly drained and have either:
(I) water table equal to 0.0 ft during the growing season if textures are coarse and, sand,
or fine sand in all layers within 20 inches; or for other soils
(2) water table at less than or equal to 0.5 ft from the surface during the growing season if
permeability is equal to or greater than 6.0 inlhour in all layers within 20 in, or
(3) water table at less than or equal to 1.0 ft from the surface during the growing season if
permeability is less than 6.0 in/hr in any layer within 20 in, or
I delineated wetlands described in this report using 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual (hereafter, 1987 Manual) combined with Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in
the United States (Version 4.0, March 1998). The 1987 Manual (Part II, paragraph 26a) defines
wetlands:
The technical approach for identification and delineation of wetlands (1987 Manual, Part II,
paragraph 26c) requires a minimum of one positive indicator from each of three parameters:
vegetation, soils, and hydrology. Areas that meet these requirements are called jurisdictional
wetlands. The three requirements are dominance by hydrophytic vegetation, presence of hydric
soils, and presence of hydrology. Each of the three parameters are described below. When
delineating wetlands, I record information onto a hand-held tape recorder, and then transcribe
this information into reports when I return to the office.
3. Soils that are frequently ponded for long duration or very long duration during the growing season, or
4. Soils that are frequently flooded for long duration or very long duration during the growing season.
Vegetation. A national interagency panel has prepared a National List of Plant Species that
occur in wetlands. Listings of plants and their wetland habitat dependencies are compiled in the
National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands (Reed 1988). The 1987 Manual requires
The hydric soil definition is difficult to apply in the field, and therefore, wetland delineators use
field indicators of hydric soils which relate to the criteria which in turn relate to the hydric soil
definition. Field indicators of hydric soils in the 1987 Manual have been superseded by Field
Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States (Version 4.0, March 1998). The field indicators
are based on the fact that:
Nearly all hydric soils exhibit characteristic morphologies that result from the repeated periods of saturation
and/or inundation for more than a few days. Saturation or inundation when combined with anaerobic
2
microbiological activity in the soil causes a depletion of oxygen. This anaerobiosis promotes
biogeochemical processes such as the accumulation of organic matter and the reduction, translocation,
andlor accumulation of iron and other reducible elements. These processes result in characteristic
morphologies which persist in the soil during both wet and dry periods, making them particularly useful for
identifying hydric soils.
these plants was yellow foxtail that is a very common weedy annual. Non-dominant plants were
upland. Soils were not hydric. I did not observe any secondary indicators except for the F AC-
Nuetral secondary indicator.
Hydrology. Hydrology is often the most difficult of the three parameters to evaluate because
some wetland types may only display hydrology for a short period of time. Areas with evident
characteristics of wetland hydrology are those where the presence of water has an overriding in-
fluence on characteristics of vegetation and soils due to anaerobic and reducing conditions,
respectively (1987 Manual, Part 1lI, paragraph 46). The minimum hydrologic requirement is
inundated or saturated to the surface continuously for at least 5% of the growing season in
most years (50% probability of recurrence). These areas are wetlands if they also meet
hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soil requirements (HQUSACE, 7 Oct 91 and 6 Mar 92)(1987
Manual, Part 1lI, Table 5). The 1987 Manual also permits identification of two secondary
indicators of hydrology as evidence of saturation to the surface. Secondary indicators include
oxidized rhizospheres within the uppermost lO-inches, undisturbed soils in Aquic moisture
regimes, and a predominance ofhydrophytes in the FAC neutral test.
WETLAND 2
Wetland 2 occurred in the northeastern portion of the property and extended off the property to
the east. The USGS Topographic map reveals this area as a low spot adjacent to marsh
(Figure I). The aerial photograph appears to reveal wet meadow type vegetation (Figure 2).
Furthermore, the National WetIand Inventory mapped a Palustrine, emergent, and seasonally-
flooded wetland (PEMC) and soils consisted ofa Cordova-Webster which are hydric soil types
(Figure 2). I utilized two sample points to locate this wetland and the delineated boundary
extends off-property to the east and to the north (Figure 3). This wetland is Type 2, Wet
Meadow on the subject property but it grades to a Type 3, Shallow Marsh to the east.
I placed Sample Point 3 in the south portion of the property in the lowest portion of a reed
canary grass area. Dominant vegetation was 100% hydrophytic. Soils were hydric based upon
the Redox Dark Surface indicator. The plot also met two secondary indicators to meet the
hydrology parameter.
WETLAND DESCRIPTIONS
Sample Point 4 did not meet any wetland parameters.
WETLAND 1
Wetland 1 is entirely contained on the Stockdale property. The USGS Topographic map does
not reveal obvious topography that would create conditions favorable to wetland development
such as a depression but the wetland is very small (Figure I). The aerial photograph does not
reveal any obvious footprint of the wetland also because it is so small but the large area offill
material deposited from construction to the east is apparent (Figure 2). Furthermore, neither the
National Wetland Inventory map or the Carver County Soil Survey reveal wetland at this
location (Figure 2). This wetland is located along the north side of the driveway and along the
base of the hill created from the fill material deposited on the western property boundary
(Figure 3). This wetland is Type 2, Wet Meadow habitat.
WETLAND 3
Wetland 3 occurred along the eastern property bounary and extended off the property to the east.
The USGS Topographic map reveals this area as a low spot adjacent to marsh (Figurel). The
aerial photograph reveals the area as a wet meadow adjacent to an apparent excavated marsh
(Figure 2). Furthermore, the National Wetland Inventory mapped a Palustrine, unconsolidated
bottom/emergent, and semipermanently-flooded wetland (PUB/EMF) and soils consisted of
Klossner muck, a hydric soil type (Figure 2). I utilized two sample points to locate this wetland
and the delineated boundary extends off-property to the east (Figure 3). This wetland is Type 2,
Wet Meadow on the subject property but it grades to a Type 4, Deep Marsh to the east.
I sampled a wetland and an upland location to assist with wetland boundary determination. It
was difficult to place an upland sample point due to the amount of disturbance from the
driveway on one side and the fill on the other side. I used consecutively-numbered pink
flourescent pin flags to identifY the wetland boundary. I used orange pin flags to identifY sample
points. Most of the line was characterized by a boundary where sedges and reed canary grass
(Phalaris arundinacea, FACW+) transitioned to Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis, FAC-) and
several broadleaf, weedy plants. Sample Point I was the wetland sample that was dominated by
100% hydrophytes. Soils were hydric based upon the Redox Dark Surface indicator. Hydrology
was only present based upon a low landscape position and the FAC-Neutral test. I observed that
the area had likely received fill, probably from erosion, because there were plant and woody
debris at approximately one foot beneath the surface.
I placed Sample Point 5 in the lowest portion of a reed canary grass area. Dominant vegetation
was 100% hydrophytic. Soils were hydric based upon the Loamy Mucky Mineral indicator. The
plot also met two secondary indicators to meet the hydrology parameter. I believe that this area
was likely wetter before the pond excavation that is likely pulling hydrology away from this
meadow area.
I place Sample Point 6 on the hillside to the west of the wetland. Dominant vegetation was 50%
hydrophytic, but this does not meet the requirement for dominance by hydrophytes. Soils were
not hydric. The plot did not meet any wetland parameters.
Sample Point 2 was upland. Dominant vegetation consisted of 66% hydrophytes but one of
Conclusion
I delineated three wetlands on the subject property. Mr. Stockdale is aware of requirements that
protect wetlands and that this delineation must be reviewed by the City of Chanhassen as the
local government unit. The primary, initial reason for this delineation was to obtain information

to assist with a subdivide and potential sale of property. It is not known at this time if any
wetland will be impacted.
I labeled all sampling points on orange pin flags. I flagged wetland boundaries with
sequentially-numbered florescent pink flags with the words, "Wetland Boundary - WWC Inc."
This report is intended to accompany other materials for plat approval.
I welcome any questions regarding technical details of this report, and I also affirm that the
material in this report represents my best professional judgement:
