SUMMARY OF PROJECT
The Applicant (Eden Trace Corporation) is proposing an industrial development on
the parcel identified by Carver County as PID # 250210100. The development will
consist of three industrial buildings with the associated parking spaces and
driveways. The project area is approximately 49.75 acres located along Lyman
Boulevard near the City of Chanhassan and City of Chaska border.
The proposed project is located within NE1/4 of Section 21, T116N, R23W, City of
Chanhassan, and Carver County, Minnesota. The project area is located within
Bank Service Area 9, the Lower Minnesota River (#33) major watershed and an
unnamed minor watershed. The Subject Property currently consists of agricultural
fields, former building pads, wooded areas, and wetlands .
The site was first delineated by Braun Intertec in 2005. The 2005 delineation
identified one Type 3 / 4 wetland located that encompasses one-fifth of the western
portion of the property. In 2008, what appears to be a stormwater pond was
constructed in the northeast corner of the Subject Property. In 2015, all of the
structures were removed from the Subject Property and a portion of the adjacent
agricultural field was excavated as part of a top soil mining operation (Please see
Appendix E – Interim Use Permit for Top Soil Mining). Pinnacle Engineering
performed a wetland delineation of the site in August 2017 to get an update of the
existing conditions on the Subject Property. The Pinnacle Engineering Wetland
Delineation Report dated August 25, 2017 identifies five wetlands on the site. These
wetlands are identified as Wetlands 1 - 5. Wetlands 2 and 3 are situated within the
area disturbed for the construction of the stormwater pond in 2008. Wetland 5 is
located on a portion of the Subject Property where several buildings existed prior to
2015. Wetland 1 is situated within the excavated portion of the agricultural fields.
The boundaries of Wetland 4 are similar to the wetland boundaries identified in the
2005 Braun Intertec report. Based on the 2005 wetland delineation report and a
review of the available aerial imagery, Sambatek believes that Wetlands 1, 2, 3 and 5
were created for purposes other than to create a wetland and should be considered
“incidental”.
The proposed project complies with the wetland compensation requirements of the
WCA and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which is enforced by the USACOE. A
total of 104,938 SF (2.41 acres) of wetland will be impacted by the commercial
development. The wetland impact is due to the grading of a lot for a housing pad and
the construction of an infiltration basin. The applicant will provide 209,876 SF (4.82
acres) of wetland mitigation will be provided at a 2:1 replacement ratio in the form of
3.2647 wetland bank credits from Wetland Bank #1468, which is located in Le Sueur
County, the Minnesota River – Shakopee (#33) major watershed and Bank Service
Area 9. 0.8512 acres of credit will come from Wetland Bank #1650 which is located
within Lyon County, the Minnesota River – Granite Falls (#25) major watershed and
Bank Service Area #9. The remaining 0.7041 acres of credit will come from Wetland

Bank #1605, which is located within Stevens County, the Pomme de Terre (#23)
major watershed and Bank Service Area #9.
SEQUENCING DISCUSSION
In accordance with the WCA and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the applicant
has made an effort to avoid and minimize wetland impacts for the proposed
development, while maintaining the wetland’s functions and values. Wetland
replacement is proposed in situations where the proposed development will
compromise the existing functions and values of the wetlands if avoided or partially
impacted. In these cases the applicant will provide wetland mitigation that exhibits
greater or equal wetland functions and values than those of the impacted wetlands. In
order for the Local Government Unit (City of Shakopee) to consider or approve this
wetland permit application; the applicant must demonstrate that the activity
impacting a wetland has complied with all of the following principles in descending
order:
1) avoidance of direct or indirect impacts to the wetland
2) minimizes the impact to the wetland by limiting the degree or magnitude
of the wetland activity
3) rectifies the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected
wetland
4) reduces or eliminates the impact to the wetland over time by preservation
and maintenance operations
5) replaces unavoidable impacts to the wetland by restoring or, if wetland
restoration opportunities are not reasonably available, creating substitute
wetland areas having equal or greater public value
Flexibility in the application of these sequencing principles (referred to as sequencing
flexibility) may be applied to a project, as determined by the LGU if the following
applies:
1) the wetland to be impacted has been degraded to a point where replacement
of it would result in a certain gain in function and public value;
2) preservation of a wetland would result in severe degradation of the wetland’s
ability to function and provide values, for example, because of surrounding
land uses the wetland’s ability to function and provide public values cannot
reasonably be maintained through other land use controls or mechanisms;
3) the only feasible or prudent upland that is available for wetland replacement
or development has greater ecosystem function and public value than the
wetland
4) the wetland is a site where human health and safety is a factor.
According to Minnesota Rules 8420.0520, Subpart 7a, sequencing flexibility cannot be
implemented unless alternatives have been considered and unless the proposed
replacement wetland is certain to provide equal or greater functions and public values
based on a functional assessment reviewed by the TEP using a methodology approved by
BWSR.

The applicant is asking that sequencing flexibility be applied to the proposed project.
Additional details regarding the justification for sequencing flexibility are provided in the
Sequencing Flexibility section of this application.
Proposed Site Design
The proposed site design has been designed to meet the needs of planned and potential tenants.
The proposed site design involves the construction of three office/warehouse buildings. The
northernmost building (Building A) is a design build project for Retail Tech, Inc., a local
company needing a larger facility due to their growing operations. The construction of this
building is scheduled to begin as soon as permits are in place. The middle building (Building B)
is designed and sized to move some of the Applicant’s current tenants to a new facility, as they
outgrow the buildings they currently occupy. The southernmost building (Building C) was
originally planned as 190,00 SF building for use as a multi-tenant building, however the size of
this building was reduced to 170,000 SF to minimize impacts to wetlands. The Applicant is
currently working with a group to do a design build project for Building C in the spring of 2020.
Proposed Wetland Impacts
A total of 199,376 SF (4.58 acres) of wetland impacts is proposed due to the
construction of the one of the industrial buildings and the grading of the site. 104,938
SF (2.41 acres) of the proposed impact is to natural wetlands while the remaining
94,438 SF (2.16 acres) acres of wetland impact occurs to wetlands that have been
excavated without the intention of creating a wetland and therefore are considered
“incidental”. The wetland impacts break down as follows:
Wetland Impact A – This impact is caused by the construction of a 109,250
SF building (Proposed Building B), the road, and the north parking lot. The
remainder of the wetland will be impacted due grading of the site that will be
necessary as part of the construction process. This impacts 92,812 SF (2.13
acres) of Wetland 1, which appears to be an incidental wetland that was
created within an agricultural field during the excavation of the site.
Wetland Impact B – This impact involves 1,626 SF of impact to Wetland 5
and is caused by the construction of Proposed Building B and the associated
parking lot. Based on the aerial photo review, Wetland 5 appears to be an
“incidental” wetland that was created during the deconstruction of the
greenhouse and nursery on the Subject Property.
Wetland Impact C – This site of impact is caused by the construction of a
178,600 SF building and the associated parking lot. Wetland Impact C occurs
to the natural wetland, Wetland 4. Wetland 4 was delineated as a Type 2, 3
(PEM1A/ PEM1C), Fresh (wet) Meadow/Shallow Marsh.
Wetland Impact D – Wetland D is due to the grading of the Subject Property
in preparation for the proposed building pads. This impact is occurs to
Wetland 4. Wetland impacts C and D impact 104,938 SF (2.41 acres) of
Wetland 4.
Mitigation for the proposed impacts will be provided in the form of 3.2647 acres of
SWC from BWSR and COE approved wetland bank #1468, 0.8512 acres from
BWSR and COE approved wetland bank #1650, and 0.7041 acres from BWSR and
COE approved wetland bank # 1605. The proposed wetland bank credits will provide
wetland functions and values of greater quality than those exhibited by Wetland 4.

Wetland Impact Avoidance
No Build Alternative
A no-build alternative would require the applicant to maintain this approximately
49.75-acre site, guided for office industrial by the City of Chanhassan’s 2030
Comprehensive Plan. The no-build alternative would defeat the reasonable
investment-backed expectations of the Applicant to develop the site in a manner that
is consistent with the City of Chanhassan’s Comprehensive Plan and neighboring
land uses. The city’s Comprehensive Plan serves as a guide for city decision-makers
to better manage growth and services throughout the city. Not allowing the Subject
Property to be developed in a manner that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
would defeat the effort that the city has made toward creating a viable plan for the
city to develop in a reasonable fashion.
The Subject Property was chosen for the proposed industrial development because of its
location within existing industrial properties, guided land use by the City of Chanhassen.
The Applicant believes that the no-build alternative should be considered as a good faith
effort.
Wetland Impact Minimization
Alternative Site Design #1
Alternative Site Design #1 is one of the plans considered by the Applicant. Alternative Site
Design #1 maintains the three large, narrow buildings in the proposed design, but a fourth
building is added south of the proposed buildings to attract new companies to Chanhassen. An
additional parking lot is located along the south building. Alternative Design #1 impacts 249,260
SF of wetland. In order to try and minimize the impact to the southwestern portion of the site the
fourth building was removed from the design.
Wetland Impact Rectification
The wetland impacts for the proposed development are not temporary and therefore
cannot be rectified at the completion of the project.

Wetland Impact Reduction and Elimination Over Time
Best Management Practices (BMP), which conforms to City/County/State erosion
and sediment control specifications, will be employed during construction activities.
Silt fencing will be placed along the upland side of all wetland boundaries as a
measure to eliminate the potential of sediment entering the wetlands. Disturbed areas
will be revegetated within 14 days of final grading.
Sequencing Flexibility
The WCA (Chapter 8420.0520, Subpart 7a) allows sequencing flexibility to be
implemented on a project should the replacement wetlands provide wetland functions and
public values of equal or greater quality than those impacted or preserved as part of the
proposed project. Sequencing flexibility cannot be implemented unless alternatives have
been considered and unless the proposed replacement wetland is certain to provide equal
or greater functions and public values as determined based on a functional assessment
reviewed by the technical evaluation panel using a methodology approved by the board.
Flexibility in application of the sequencing steps may be applied if:
1) the wetland to be impacted has been degraded to the point where replacement
of it would result in a certain gain in function and public value;
2) preservation of a wetland would result in severe degradation of the wetland’s
ability to function and provide public values, for example, because of
surrounding land uses and the wetland’s ability to function and provide
public values cannot reasonably be maintained through other land use
controls or mechanisms;
3) the only feasible or prudent upland site available for wetland replacement or
development has greater ecosystem function and public value than the
wetland;
4) the wetland is a site where human health and safety is a factor.
Sambatek believes that the proposed wetland impact qualifies for sequencing flexibility,
based on Item 2 above. The portion of Wetland 4 that will be impacted by the proposed
project appears to be supported by surface water runoff from the old nursery site to the
north as well as a slight slope to the south. Once the site has been graded the storm water
will be redirected to storm water ponds as directed by a storm water management plan
that will be put together as part of the planning process. The runoff that currently
supports Wetland 4 will be redirected to storm water ponds, and maintaining Wetland 4
without the current watershed would likely result in an indirect impact to the wetland.
Based on the planned construction, Sambatek believes that the functions and values of
Wetland 4 will be compromised once construction is completed. In order to ensure that
wetland functions and values of greater quality are provided, the applicant is proposing
the purchase of 3.2647 acres of wetland bank credits from BWSR and COE approved
Wetland Bank #1468 and 1.5553 acres of BWSR and COE approved credit from Wetland
Bank #1650.
Based on the reason provided above, the applicant believes that the project qualifies for
sequencing flexibility and wishes to apply it to this project.

NON-REGULATED WETLANDS
Incidental Wetlands
“Incidental wetlands” are wetland areas that the applicant can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of
the local government unit, were created in non-wetland areas solely by actions, the purpose of
which was not to create the wetland. Incidental wetlands include drainage ditches,
impoundments, or excavations constructed in non-wetland areas solely for the purpose of effluent
treatment, containment of waste material, storm water retention or detention, drainage, soil and
water conservation practices, and water quality improvements and not as part of a wetland
replacement process that may, over time, take on wetland characteristics. Based on the review of
historical aerial photography, the Applicant believes that Wetlands 1, 2, 3, and 5 are incidental
wetlands and is not regulated under the Wetland Conservation Act as per Chapter 8420.0105
(Scope) Subp. 2 (Applicability) and Section D. Wetland 1 only appears in the aerial photography
after top soil mining occurred in the area in 2015. Wetland 3 appears to have been constructed as
a stormwater pond 2008. Wetland signatures were not observed within the boundaries of Wetland
2 until the construction of Wetland 3 in 2008. The area within Wetland 5 is graded in 1985 and
then several structures are built in the area in 1984. Wetland signatures are not observed within
Wetland 5 until the structures are removed from the Subject Property.
Aerial Photograph Review
1937 – The site is predominantly used for agricultural production. The farmstead is located along the north
central property boundary and appears to consist of a house, a barn and several other structures. Wetlands
1, 2, 3, and 5 are not observed in this historical aerial photograph. Wetl and 4 is visible in the southwest
corner of the property and appears to be partially farmed.
1945 – The site is still used for agricultural production. Now wetland signatures are observed in the areas of
Wetlands 1, 2, 3 and 5. Wetland 4 is still visible in the southwest portion of the site.
1957 – No significant changes have occurred on the Subject Property since 1945.
1963 – No significant changes have occurred on the Subject Property since 1957.
1970 – No significant changes have occurred on the Subject Property since 1963.
1979 – Several greenhouses have been constructed in the northwest corner of the property. The original
structures appear to have been removed and replaced by structures for the plant nursery. The remaining
portions of the property appear to be used for agricultural production. Wetlands 1, 2, 3, and 5 are not
observed in the 1979 aerial photograph. Wetland 4 appears in the southwest corner of the property and
along the south property boundary.
1981 – No significant changes have occurred on the Subject Property since 1979.
1982 – Another area near the nursery greenhouses appears to have been graded in preparation for another
building. No signatures are observed in the areas of Wetlands 1, 2, 3, and 5.
1983 – The graded area observed in the 1982 aerial photography has been expanded to the south and
encompasses a portion of the Wetland 5 boundary. No wetland signatures are observed in the area of
Wetland 1, 2, or 3.

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:
As per Chapter 8420.0105 (Scope) Subp. 2 (Applicability) and Section D.
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:

plans, etc.), referencing these as necessary:
Please see the attached narrative.
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 d iscuss 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:
Please see the attached narrative.
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):
Please see the attached narrative.
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

Dear Mr. Carlson:
Pinnacle Engineering Inc. (Pinnacle) has performed a Wetland Determination and
Delineation of the Holasek Farms property located at 8610 Galpin Blvd. in Chanhassen,
Carver County, Minnesota, which is within portions of Section 21, Township 116N, Range
23W. The site consists of agricultural fields, former building pads, wooded areas, and
wetlands. The delineation was conducted in substantial conformance with the 1987 U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, updated February 25, 1997, and
utilizes the Midwest Region Supplement. The attached report documents the methods
and findings of the delineation.
During the field assessment, it was determined that five areas within the project area met
all three of the mandatory criteria of a wetland. The boundaries were flagged for survey
by Sunde Land Surveying. The delineation will be reviewed by a representative of the
City of Chanhassen, who serves as the local governmental unit administering Minnesota’s
Wetland Conservation Act, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who administers the
Clean Water Act.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Pinnacle Engineering, Inc. (Pinnacle) performed a Wetland Determination and
Delineation of the Holasek Farms property located at 8610 Galpin Blvd. in Chanhassen,
Carver County, Minnesota which is within portions of Section 21, T116N, R23W (Lat:
44.8416815⁰; Long: -93.584086⁰, WGS 1984). The site consists of agricultural fields,
former building pads, wooded areas, and wetlands. The delineation was conducted in
substantial conformance with the 1987 U.S. The Site is a portion of the entire Holasek
Farms property. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, updated
February 25, 1997, and utilizes the Midwest Region Supplement. The attached report
documents the methods and findings of the delineation.
1.2 Scope
Pinnacle conducted the on-site Level 2 Wetland Determination and Delineation in
accordance with the criteria established in the 1987 U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual, updated in 1997, utilizing the Midwest Region Supplement.
The work included the following items:
• Review of County Soil Surveys, USGS topographic maps, National Wetland
Inventory (NWI) Maps, Public Water Inventory (PWI) maps, and aerial
photographs.
• A site reconnaissance to determine if and where jurisdictional wetlands exist.
• Delineation of the identified wetlands within the area of interest boundaries.
• Preparation and submittal of this report summarizing the findings of our work.
2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 Site Location and Use
The project area is located at Holasek Farms property located at 8610 Galpin Blvd. in
Chanhassen, Carver County, Minnesota which is within portions of Section 21, T116N,
R23W (Lat: 44.8416815⁰; Long: -93.584086⁰, WGS 1984). The site consists of
agricultural fields, former building pads, wooded areas, and wetlands. The Property
Identification Number (PID) for the project area is 25020100. Figure 1 shows the site in
its current configuration.
2.2 Surveys and Maps
Pinnacle conducted a review of the Carver County Soil Survey, topographic maps,
Protected Waters Inventory (PWI), and National Wetland Inventory (NWI ) maps for the
vicinity of the Site. The following sections summarize the information available at the time
of this review.

2.2.1 Topographic Maps
The topographic map depicted the parcel developed area with the wooded area in the
southern portion of the Site. The Site is situated within a sloping and rolling topographic
setting, with the former building pads sloping steeply into the wetland areas. In the areas
of the agricultural fields the land gently slopes into the wetland areas. The Site elevation
ranges from approximately 962 feet above mean sea level (MSL) in the northern portions
of the parcel to approximately 920 feet MSL in the southwest portion of the property. The
wetland basins are located mostly below elevations of 940 MSL. Based on the contour
intervals on the topographic map and our Site observations, surficial drainage appears to
be to the south draining to the regional stormwater system.
2.2.2 Soil Survey
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey map, which is
included as Figure 3, was reviewed for information pertaining to the Site soils. The Soil
Survey indicated the Site soil units are: Cordova clay loam (map unit ID – CO), Cordova-
Webster complex (map unit ID – CW ), Essexville sandy loam (map unit ID – EX), Glencoe
clay loam (map unit ID – GL), Hamel loam (map unit ID – HM), Lester-Kilkenny loam (map
unit ID – KB, KB2, KC, KC2, KD, KD2, KE, KE2), Muskego and Houghton soils (map unit
ID – MK), Klossner and Muskego soils (map unit ID – MP), Lester-Kilkenny clay loams
(map unit ID – NC, ND, NE), Klossner muck loam (map unit ID – PM), Lester-Storden
complex (map unit ID – SD2), Terril loam (map unit ID – TB), and Water (map unit ID –
W). Of the identified soils, Cordova, Cordova-Webster, Glencoe, Hamel, Muskego and
Houghton, Klossner and Muskego, and Klossner are considered hydric soils. Soil
samples collected during the wetland delineation were characterized and recorded on the
Wetland Determination Data Form – Midwest Regional Supplement Data Forms, which
are included as Appendix A.
2.2.3 Wetland Inventory Maps
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)-National Wetland Inventory (NWI)
map for the Site area depicted three wetlands within or adjacent to the Site boundaries.
The wetlands area identified as Palustrine, emergent, persistent temporarily flooded
(PEM1A), Palustrine, aquatic bottom, intermittently exposed, excavated (PABGx).and
Palustrine, unconsolidated bottom, intermittently exposed, excavated (PUBGx). NWI
maps generally show the approximate location of wetlands as of the time of publication.
The NWI map, as reviewed by Pinnacle, were compiled based on aerial photo
interpretation and field surveys and is included as Figure 4.
2.2.4 Public Waters Inventory
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Waters Inventory (PWI)
produces a map of the protected wetlands and waters of the State. The PWI map, which
is included as Figure 5, indicates one public waters are located within the Site boundaries.
The wetland is identified as part of the Hazeltine lake system (DNR Object ID 3516).

2.3 Aerial Photo Evaluation
Pinnacle acquired aerial photographs from the Google Earth, Earth Explorer, and the
MnGeo Aerial Photography database. Pinnacle also reviewed Bing Imagery,
HistoricalAerials.com, and ESRI’s database for additional photo years, but none were
available. Aerial photographs from all years, 1991 to the present, were not available;
however, Pinnacle reviewed aerial photographs from the years 1984, 1991, 1997, 2002,
2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 to evaluate
if wetland indicators were present.
Each image was reviewed to determine the frequency of wetland signatures visible on
the image. Each year was reviewed carefully and observations were noted in accordance
with standard terminology. Observations compared dry periods with those from wet and
normal periods to provide context. The number of years of imagery with normal or dry
antecedent precipitation conditions that exhibited wetland signatures were tallied. Areas
with 30% or more hits in normal and dry years were determined to be potential wetlands
and are referred to as suspect areas in Figure 7. The recording form for the aerial
photography review is included in Appendix D. The results were utilized to aid in the
determination of the wetland areas.
In general, the aerial photographs depicted the Site as agricultural fields and farmsteads
near its current configuration. All wetlands showed signatures between 45%-100% of the
analyzed years.
3.0 WETLAND DETERMINATION
3.1 Methodology
The wetland determination was made utilizing the techniques of the Routine Onsite
Method, as described in the 1987 U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation
Manual, updated February 25, 1997 and utilizing the Midwest Region Supplement.
Determination of hydric soils, site hydrology, and hydrophytic vegetation were made
according to the procedures and guidelines described in the manual. Sampling locations
were selected to be representative of wetland/upland transition areas.
Scott Thelen of Pinnacle conducted an assessment of the wetlands in the project area on
August 11, 2017. The assessment included probing the soils to observe the color and
moisture, as well as other available hydric soil indicators, such as mottling, gleying, and
oxidized root channels. The characteristics noted for each sampling location are
documented in the data forms, which are included in Appendix A. Survey markers were
placed along the delineated edge of the wetlands for survey by Sunde Land Surveying.
A figure of the wetland areas is included as Figure 2.
2017 seasonal rainfall amounts were approximately 2.14 inches above the normal
amount of rainfall for this area. Rain precipitation in the amount of 1.42 inches occurred

Wetland Type PUBG
The NWI Cowardin wetland classification system identifies the PUBG label for wetlands
that consists of a palustrine basin, with an unconsolidated bottom, that that may be
intermittently exposed and are usually located within a depressional area. Soil indicators
(or surveys as mentioned above) revealed the wetland areas have hydric soils. The
wetland area appears to be isolated from nearby wetlands in the aerial photographs, but
may drain to the south, see Figure 5.

763-315-4501 Page 5 Pinnacle Project Number: EM20170022
Wetland Type PEM1C
The NWI Cowardin wetland classification system identifies the PEM1C label for a wetland
that consists of a palustrine basin, with persistent emergent vegetation, that is seasonally
flooded, and is intermittently exposed that is usually found within a depressional area.
Soil surveys indicate the wetland area has hydric soils. The wetland area appears to be
connected through a surficial water connection to nearby southern wetlands in the aerial
photographs, and may drain to the south, see Figure 5.
Suspect Areas SA
Two areas were identified as suspect areas due to wetland indicators identified during the
aerial photograph review. The areas were investigated to verify the wetland status of the
area. The review of the vegetation and soils indicated that the areas did not meet the
criteria of a wetland. The size and amount of corn was diminished in the areas when
compared to the adjacent corn field. However, the sparse pioneer vegetation between
the corn stalks consisted of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale, FACU) and pigweed
(Amaranthus retroflexus, FACU) in the suspect areas. The sparse pioneer vegetation in
the wetland areas that were planted in corn featured yellow nutsedge (Cyperus
esculentus, FACW). The soils in the suspect areas also did not appear to meet the hydric
soil criteria. For these reasons the suspect areas were not identified as wetlands.
4.0 DISCUSSION
(Pinnacle) performed a Wetland Determination and Delineation of the Holasek Farms
property located at 8610 Galpin Blvd. in Chanhassen, Carver County, Minnesota which
is within portions of Section 21, T116N, R23W (Lat: 44.8416815⁰; Long: -93.584086⁰,
WGS 1984). The site consists of agricultural fields, former building pads, wooded areas,
and wetlands. The delineation was conducted in substantial conformance with the 1987
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, updated February 25, 1997,
and utilizes the Midwest Region Supplement. The Property Identification Number (PID)
for the project area is 25020100.
The USGS topographic map review indicated the project area varies greatly in elevation
and hydrology collects in the depressional areas within the site or drains to the wetland
area to the southwest. Non-Hydric soils across the Site appear to drain into the observed
wetland areas within the depressional areas. A large culvert was noted draining into
Wetlands 2, 3 and 4 on the northeastern and southeastern edge of the Site. The soil
survey map indicated the presence of hydric soils adjacent and within the wetland areas.
The NWI map identified three wetlands on the Site. The PWI map identified one protected
water within the project area associated with Hazeltine Lake.
2017 seasonal rainfall amounts were approximately 2.14 inches above the normal
amount of rainfall for this area. Rain precipitation in the amount of 1.42 inches occurred
the fourteen days prior to the wetland delineation field visit.

Suspect areas were investigated and may have had stunted corn due to the nearly 2-
inches greater than normal rain fall in May. However, these areas did not meet the criteria
of a wetland after the field data was collected.
five delineated wetland areas displayed wetland characteristics and met all wetland
criteria during the on-site investigation; therefore, Pinnacle placed flags along the wetland
boundaries within the Site boundary. The wetland areas appear to be part of the regional
drainage and appear to have stormwater directed from an off-site source to the wetland
basins, where the water infiltrates into the soil or is transported to wetlands and lakes to
the south of the Site. The local governmental unit and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will
determine the jurisdictional wetland status of the identified wetland area.
5.0 CONCLUSION
Pinnacle Engineering, Inc. (Pinnacle) performed a Wetland Determination and
Delineation of the Holasek Farms property located at 8610 Galpin Blvd. in Chanhassen,
Carver County, Minnesota. The delineation was conducted in substantial conformance
with the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, updated
February 25, 1997, and utilizes the Midwest Regional Supplement.
During the field assessment, it was determined that five areas within the Site met all three
of the mandatory criteria of a wetland, and the boundaries were flagged and surveyed by
Sunde Land Surveying. The delineation will be reviewed by the City of Chanhassen,
Minnesota, who serve as the local governmental unit administering Minnesota’s Wetland
Conservation Act and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who administers the Clean
Water Act.

PART THREE: General Project/Site Information
If this application is related to a delineation approval, exemption determination, jurisdictional determination, or other
correspondence submitted prior to this application then describe that here and provide the Corps of Engineers project number.
Describe the project that is being proposed, the project purpose and need, and schedule for implementation and completion. The
project description must fully describe the nature and scope of the proposed activity including a description of all project elements
that effect aquatic resources (wetland, lake, tributary, etc.) and must also include plans and cross section or profile drawings
showing the location, character, and dimensions of all proposed activities and aquatic resource impacts.

PART FOUR: Aquatic Resource Impact1 Summary
If your proposed project involves a direct or indirect impact to an aquatic resource (wetland, lake, tributary, etc.) identify each
impact in the table below. Include all anticipated impacts, including those expected to be temporary. Attach an overhead view map,
aerial photo, and/or drawing showing all of the aquatic resources in the project area and the location(s) of the proposed impacts.
Label each aquatic resource on the map with a reference number or letter and identify the impacts in the following table.
Aquatic Resource
ID (as noted on
overhead view)
Aquatic
Resource Type
(wetland, lake,
tributary etc.)
Type of Impact
(fill, excavate,
drain, or
remove

Size of Impact2
Overall Size of
Aquatic
Resource 3
Existing Plant
Community
Type(s) in
Impact Area4
County, Major
Watershed #,
and Bank
Service Area #
of Impact Area5
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).
3This is generally only applicable if you are applying for a de minimis exemption under MN Rules 8420.0420 Subp. 8, otherwise enter “N/A”.
4Use Wetland Plants and Plant Community Types of Minnesota and Wisconsin 3rd Ed. as modified in MN Rules 8420.0405 Subp. 2.
5Refer to Major Watershed and Bank Service Area maps in MN Rules 8420.0522 Subp. 7.
If any of the above identified impacts have already occurred, identify which impacts they are and the circumstances associated
with each:

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).
