The project’s western terminus is approximately 800 feet east of CSAH 15 (Audubon Road), and the eastern terminus is approximately 700 feet east of CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard). Three existing wetlands are proposed to be impacted by the project, including wetlands associated with Bluff Creek, a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) protected watercourse near the middle of the project. Figures 3Athrough 3C depict the proposed roadway layout with the associated wetland impacts, discussed further in Item 9B. Land use in the project vicinity consists mainly of agricultural and rural residential, with wetlands otherwise occupying much of the undeveloped land. Wetland boundaries were delineated and approved in 2007 for the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) which was also completed in 2007 (See Appendix E for relevant e -mail correspondence to members of the TEP and Corps). Delineation metho dologies were consistent with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (’87 Manual). Wetlands in the project area consist mainly of wet meadows and shallow marshes, with an overall dominance by reed canary grass (Phalarisarundinacea ) and cat tails (Typha sp.). Wetlands partially impacted include W -14, W -15, W -16 and a small area peripheral to Bluff Creek (unnumbered). Several other wetlands were delineated in the project area; however, these wetlands will not be impacted with the proposed project (See Appendix D - Wetland Delineation Report for additional information . Appendix A provides information supplemental to the permit application. Appendix B provides a General and Detailed Location Map. Appendix C provides pl an sheets of the project area depicting delineated wetland boundaries, limits of construction, and calculations of wetland impacts for each of the delineated wetlands. Appendix D contains the wetland delineation report prepared for the project area. Appe ndix E shows shows relevant e -mail correspondence to members of the TEP and the Corps concerning approval of Barbara Walther’s wetland delineation and acceptance of this document to serve as the basis for permitting. The following numbered sections refer to numbers within the permit application form. 6. PROJECT PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION and DIMENSIONS PROJECT PURPOSE Supplemental Information for Application October 2012 CSAH 18, Carver County Page 3 The purpose of the project is to ease projected congestion, improve safety and address necessary improvements to accommodate the future traffic growth related to the existing Chanhassen High School and other adjacent developments in the area. The need for the project is identified in the Carver County Transportation Plan (2007). Carver County is experiencing a high level of population growth, with most of the growth taking place in the central and eastern portions of the county. The cities of Chaska, Chanhassen, Victoria and Waconia are estimated to account for over half of the total county population by 2030. The 2030 County population forecast is almost triple the year 2000 population. Due to the current and expected future population growth, congestion in areas of central and eastern Carver County is expected to rise on county facilities, occurring frequently during the peak hours. This con gestion is expected to increase even with the construction of the new TH 212 between the City of Carver and the border with Hennepin County. Without the project, the CSAH 18 corridor will continue to experience increasingly unacceptable levels of congestio n and associated safety issues. The purpose of the specific impacts to the wetlands, as previously described, includes roadway fill impacts. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT S This project involves reconstruction of the segment of CSAH 18 from approximately 800 feet east of CSAH 15 (Audubon Road) to approximately 700 feet east of CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard), in the Cityof Chanhassen (see Figure 2). This project will accommodate c apacity and safety improvements to the roadway facility and its condition including drainage and stormwater management, access management and a pedestrian/bicycle facility. Theconstruction plans have been developed minimizing impacts to water and other na tural resources. Several existing stormwater management ponds will be utilized to accommodate runoff from the additional pavement within the project area. Wetlands that are proposed to be impacted are located within the right of way and at the toe of sl ope of the existing roadway. Impacts are directly related to the proposed improvements. 8. SEQUENCING CONSIDERATIONS Wetland Impact Avoidance The No -Build alternative would result in no impacts to wetlands. Maximum capacity, and its associated safety issues, can be expected to be reached within only a few years at the current rate of growth in this portion of Carver County (among the highest in the Twin Cities metropolitan area ). The traffic forecast for 2034 indicates 26,500 vpd in the project area.Therefore, the No -Build alternative would not meet the project goals. Alternative road alignments were evaluated to determine if the wetlands and Bluff Creek could be avoided and to identify minimization opportunities. Those wetlands proposed for impact are Supplemental Information for Application October 2012 CSAH 18, Carver County Page 4 located within the right of way, near or at the toe -of-slope of the existing roadway. Bluff Creek flows under the existing CSAH 18 corridor. Thus, complete avoidance is not feasible. In areas where wetlands are immediately adjacent to the existing roadway toe -of-slope, temporary impacts, due to muck removal to stabilize foundation soils, will be restored to preconstruction conditions by re -grading to original contours. These temporary impacts are quantified in Item 9B b elow . It is anticipated that temporary wetland impacts would not require mitigation other than restoration to pre-construction conditions. Wetland Impact Minimization Remaining unavoidable impacts were minimized to the extent practicable with steeper side slopes through the highway sections that are adjacent to wetlands, thereby minimizing the roadway footprint through these areas. Further steepening of side slopes in the vicinity of wetlands would have required guardrail. The pedestrian/bicycle facility will allow safe passage of students and other users along CSAH 18, and has been designed to minimize wetland impacts to the extent practicable. Further minimization is not feasible without compromising the project goals. Overall, the Preferred Alternative, evaluated in the EAW (2007), resulted in avoidance of the majority of the wetland impacts while still remaining economically feasible. Mitigation for Unavoidable W etland Impacts See Item #19 below. 9B. DESCRIPTION of WETLAND IMPACTS The proposed wetland impacts are located in Carver County, in the Minnesota River – Shakopee (33) Major Watershed and Bank Service Area 9 – Metro Area. Table 1 below lists the propose d impacts to wetlands located within the project area . The proposed wetland impacts are shown on Figures 3Athrough 3C. Additional information regarding the proposed construction including plan sheets are shown in Appendix C . Refer to Section 6: Project Pur pose, Description and Dimensions above for a complete description of the proposed impacts. A total of 1.88 acres of permanent wetland impact is proposed as a result of the roadway reconstruction. Of the 1.88 acres of impact, 1.65 acres are permanent and safety -related and 0.23 acres are trail -related. The permanent safety -related impacts include 0.17 acres of impact to Bluff Creek, a DNR Protected Watercourse, and are associated with culvert replacement, grading, rip -rap for culvert outfall within the channel north and south of Lyman Boulevard. The trail -related impacts were calculated based on the toe -of slope with trail versus toe -of-slope in a hypothetical no -trail si tuation. A cross -sectional diagram depicting typical trail impacts is provided at the end of the plan view drawings. As described in Item 8.

STATUS OF OTHER APPROVALS The Environmental Assessment Worksheet was published in the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) Monitor on November 19, 2007. Public comments were accepted through December 19, 2007. A Negative Declaration was issued by the Carver County Board at the regularly schedule meeting on January 22, 2008. Supplemental Information for Application October 2012 CSAH 18, Carver County Page 7 19. DESCRIPTION OF REPLACEMENT WETLAND CONSTRUCTION Mitigation for the wetland impacts is required at a 2:1 ratio by the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act [administered by the Corps of Engineers (COE)]. The 1.65 acres of wetland impacts associated with safety improvements will be mitigated usi ng the BWSR Road Replacement Program at a 2:1 mitigation ratio. Thus, 3.3 acres will be withdrawn from the BWSR Road Replacement Bank. The proposed safety improvements are all a reconstruction of an existing roadway. The 0.23 acres of wetland impact ass ociated with the multi -use recreational trail will be mitigated at a 2:1 ratio. Thus 0.46 acres of wetland credit will be purchased from account #1444 which is located in the same Bank Service Area (BSA 9) and Major Watershed (33 -Minnesota) as the proposed impacts. When the TEP and Corps have approved this replacement plan, we will forward a purchase agreement signed by the buyer and seller of credits, BWSR withdrawal form, and appropriate fees. Temporary impacts of __0.14__ acres are expected to result from muck excavation efforts to widen the roadway, and these impacts will be returned to pre -construction conditions at the conclusion of the project.

Wetlands (Appendix A, Figures 2A and 2B) were delineated in July of 2007 using the routine method set forth in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual . This method is required under both the federal Clean Water Ac t and the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). Using this method, wetland boundaries are determined through an examination of vegetation, soils and hydrology. Criteria and indicat ors for each of these parameters are outlined in the ’87 Manual. Wetland edges were mark ed with pink flagging bearing the writing “WETLAND DELINEATION” or pink flag pins bearing the writing “Wetland Delineation/SRF Consulting”. Wetland edges were also surveyed in the field using th e Trimble GeoXT handheld GPS unit with submeter accuracy. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil survey of Carver County and USGS topographic ma ps were reviewed prior to commencement of field work. Note: The Chanhassen High School (ISD 112) site was not delineated for this report, as construction was underway during 2 007, and recent previous delineations had been completed for that project site. The attached data sheets (Appendix B) document dominant plant species, results of soil sampling and observations of hydrology at representative transect locations. In addition, identified wetlands are classified according to methodologies set forth in Wetland Plants and Plant Communities of Minnesota & Wisconsin - Second Edition (USCOE Publication; Eggers and Reed. 1997) and Wetlands of the United States (USFWS Circular 39, Shaw and Fredine, 1971). Climatologic data (Appendix C) was also reviewed for evaluating problem areas with no evidence of hydrology. Description of Wetland Resources General Description of Project Area The proposed project involves reconstruction of the 3.0 mile segment of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 18 (including improvements at the CSAH 15 intersection with CSAH 18) between Trunk Highway 41 and CSAH 17 to accommodate improvements to the roadway facility and its condition includi ng drainage, access management and pedestrian/bicycle facility improvements. Included with this proposed project is a pedestrian underpass that will provide a safe route for future pedestrian crossing under CSAH 18. CSAH 18 (LYMAN BOULEVARD) FROM TH 41 TO CSAH 17 CARVER COUNTY, MINNESOTA Table 1 lists the soils in the project area, acco rding to the USDA NRCS Soil Survey of Carver County. The soil survey information is al so included on Figures 2A and 2B. TABLE 1. PROJECT AREA SOILS WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT - 2 - AUGUST 2007 Wetlands Identified in the Project Corridor Twenty-one areas exhibiting the criteria for we tlands were delineated within the project limits and are listed in the table below. Of these, th ree are storm water ponds th at were constructed in areas not previously wetland. Greater detail concerning soil s and hydrology are given in the attached wetland delineation data forms.

Discussion Many of the wetlands delineated along the project area have been affected by the roadway and development. In fact, at the tim e of the delineation discussed in this report, wetlands along the Chanhassen High School constr uction site were actively unde rgoing change (NOTE: No wetlands were delineated adjacent to or within this construction site for this report). The wetland edges were often define d by a sharp rise in topography and a not iceable change in vegetation, typically from reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea ) and cattails (Typha ssp .) to a roadway shoulder or mowed lawn. In addition, storm water ponds have been created along the project corridor. The storm ponds exhibit clear and abrupt boundari es, and therefore, no transect data was collected for these resources. Figur es 2A and 2B (Appendix A) show the wetland delineation, storm water pond, ditch and trans ect plot data collection locations. Of note for this field season is the below norma l precipitation, and theref ore lack of ‘normal circumstances’ in accordance with the ‘87 Manual. Antecedent precipitation for the growing season thus far has been drier than normal (see Appendix C). This follows an overall below normal growing season from 2006, as well. Ar eas where standing water would normally be expected throughout the growing season, such as w ithin a dense stand of cattails, were observed with no surface water. In fact, soil pits dug within cattail stands often did not have water within 12 inches of the surface. Th erefore, determinations of we tland edges were based upon best CSAH 18 (LYMAN BOULEVARD) FROM TH 41 TO CSAH 17 CARVER COUNTY, MINNESOTA professional judgment regarding what would be expected during normal circumstances from topographic setting, aerial photography and s ubtle changes in vegetative communities. W-1 is a shallow open water area at the western project terminus, we st of TH 41. A sharp rise in topography is evident surrounding this wetland, and only a narrow fringe of emergent vegetation and willows exists between the wetland and the upland mowed landscape. Based on this observation and the 1993 update to the USGS Topogra phic map, this basin was likely excavated. Water enters this wetland mainly from precipitation and runoff, as inlets were observed. The area is located partially within Hamel loam (hydric) though the delineated area is not mapped on the NWI. [Note: This basin has been relabeled SP-1 A, as it was determined to be a storm pond. 9/13/07. bw] Photograph 1: Wetland W-1, taken from TH 41, facing west, August 9, 2007. W-2 is a deep marsh that has had all but its western boundary manipulated by the roadway and development. Maple/basswood upland forest remains on the western edge. W-2 was once contiguous with W-3, prior to development, though it remains hydrologically connected to W-3 through a culvert under Norex Drive. It is shown on the NWI mapping and is located on hydric soil (mucks), and water en ters this wetland from groundwat er and precipitation. Transect data (T-1) was collected at the southern edge of the wetland. Photograph 2: Wetland W-2, taken from Ly man Boulevard, facing north, August 9, 2007.

W-5 is a shallow open water basin that was recen tly reworked in associ ation with adjacent development. It is located on hydric soils (mucks ) and is mapped on the NWI. A sharp and distinct topographic rise from th e water level resulted from the fi nish grading, and there was only weedy vegetation established on the slope s at the time of the delineation. Photograph 5: Wetland W-5, taken from Ly man Boulevard, facing north, August 9, 2007. W-6 is a wet meadow associated with a ditch at th e edge of a drained wetland that was planted to soybeans in 2007. It is locat ed on hydric soils (mucks) and is mapped on the NWI. Transect data (T-2) was collected at its western edge. Photograph 6: Wetland W-6, taken from Lyma n Boulevard, facing southwest, August 9, 2007. WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT - 6 - AUGUST 2007 CSAH 18 (LYMAN BOULEVARD) FROM TH 41 TO CSAH 17 CARVER COUNTY, MINNESOTA W-7 is a shallow marsh surrounded by development that outlets directly to Hazeltine Lake under the railroad grade to the south. It is lo cated on hydric soils (mucks) and is mapped on the NWI. There is a forested fringe between this wetland a nd the agricultural field to the east. Transect data (T-3) was collected al ong this eastern edge. Photograph 7: Wetland W-7, taken from its east edge, facing west, August 9, 2007. W-8 is a wet meadow that was bisected from W-6 and the adjacent drained wetland area by the railroad grade. It is located on hydric soils (Hamel) and is mapped on the NWI. Dominated by reed canary grass, this wetland is supported mainly by precipita tion and groundwater. Transect data is represented by T-2.

WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT - 7 - AUGUST 2007 CSAH 18 (LYMAN BOULEVARD) FROM TH 41 TO CSAH 17 CARVER COUNTY, MINNESOTA W-9 is a shallow marsh dominated by cattails that is surrounded by an agricu ltural field. It is located on hydric soils (Glencoe ) and is mapped on the NWI. A large culvert outlets from this wetland to a channel that flows to W-10. Transect data (T-4) was collected on the north edge of this wetland. Photograph 9: Wetland W-9, taken from Lyma n Boulevard, facing southwest, August 9, 2007. W-10 is a large wet meadow wetland complex that al so has some portions of shallow marsh. It is located on hydric soils (muc ks) and is mapped on the NWI. While it is dominated by reed canary grass, restoration efforts were obser ved during the 2007 growing season as being undertaken by Prairie Restorations, Inc. At th e time of the delineation, the bulk of the area had been burned. Topographic shifts were readily apparent due to the burn-off of the dense reed canary grass, and with the help of vegetative communities that had already been restored, a clear interpretation of the wetland boundary was po ssible. Some manipula tion of the wetland’s western edge, from the adjacent Chanhassen School construction site, was apparent. W-10 and W-11 were once part of the same wetland complex and were bisected by the recreational trail. Transect data (T-5) was collected at the s outhern edge of this wetland complex.

My position is that if the LGUs are comfortable utilizing the delineation for further permitting, then I am as well. The delineations on many of these road projects are fairly straight forward, so I am not sure this warrants a full TEP review if the LGU reps have already done that. We can discuss further at the TEP meeting.

I have spoken with most of you via phone conversation this afternoon to assure that all the correct TEP personnel (and associated) are included in our ongoing coordination. You’ll recall that Barbara Walther (formerly SRF - now Corps) completed a wetland delineation report (attached) - the basis for wetland impacts described a Corps permit issued in June 2008 (attached). A Pre-Permit Application TEP was held on Mar 3 2008. We are sending you all the attached information to update you on the agency coordination that has already occurred. We are getting underway on permitting for the current portion of the Lyman Boulevard Improvements. Our engineering won’t be at a level of effort to allow accurate wetland impact assessment until mid 2011. It is our hope that the TEP (and associated) will concur that the attached delineation report without modification can serve as the basis for the WCA/ Corps Joint Permit for the current roadway improvement. We’ll be scheduling a pre-Application TEP meeting for this project several months from now. We’ll have a better grasp then as to how much mitigation would likely derive from the BWSR Road Replacement Program (safety-related) and how much would derive from other sources (non safety-related). I’ll look forward to working with you all on this project. Please call me if you have any questions. Best Regards, Jeffrey W.

Yes, a DNR Public Waters Work permit is required to replace the culvert so you’ll need to submit an application to me. I can waive wetland impacts to the WCA LGU. Please include in the permit application the EAW’s “record of decision”, which is required as part of the permit application.

Just to update you a bit on project milestones ‐ we received a DNR review letter from Joe Kurcinka in December 2007 (see attached). I have also attached PDFs of a figure that relates to Bluff Creek and some wetland/creek ‐related docum entation. A portion of Bluff Creek (DNR Protected Watercourse) will be impacted as part of the proposed road improvements. The impacts to Bluff Creek include replacing a culvert which runs under the existing Lyman Boulevard. The linear length of the culvert replacement within the construction limits is approximately 200 feet. The total square footage of th is impact is approximately 783 SF. The purpose of this e ‐mail is to coordinate with you and to verify that indeed a Public Waters Work Permit would be required for the proposed improvements. We are within a few weeks of beginning permitti ng for this project (including WCA/Corps Joint Permit, watershed ‐related permitting, and the Public Waters Work Permit). Could you respond in a short e ‐mail prior to September 10, 2012 that indeed a Public Waters Work Permit would be required. And certainly include any comments or concerns that you may have. I hope all is we l l with you. Have a nice Labor Day weekend. Thanks! Best Regards, Jeffrey W.

We offer the following comments for your consideration. Permits and Approvals Required (Item 8). The project will affect Bluff Creek, which is a Public Waters watercourse. Because realignment of the portion of Bluff Creek where it flows under CSAH 18 is proposed, the project requires an individual DNR Public Waters permit. The permit application should provide detailed plans for the stream re-alignment and road crossing. Please contact Area Hydrologist John Gleason at 651-259-5754 for more information. Physical Impacts on Water Resources (Item 12). The project as proposed would affect 6.4 acres of wetlands. The EAW describes some of these wetlands as having a high function for flood retention and stormwater management. To replace the lost functions and values in the local area, we recommend the replacement of some wetland on-site, rather than exclusively through wetland banking. One apparent opportunity for on-site replacement is the area between Wetland 2 and the proposed “Arbor” stormwater pond. Thank you for the opportunity to review the EAW. We look forward to receiving your record of decision at the conclusion of environmental review. If you have any questions about these comments, please contact staff ecologist Michael North at 320-255-4279 ext. 235. Sincere ly, Joseph M.
