The site was approximately 3.49 acres in size, and was located at Sec. 10, T116N, R23W, Chanhassen, Minnesota. See Figure 1 for a Site Location Map. The purpose of the investigation was to identify areas within the project boundary meeting the technical criteria for wetlands, delineate the jurisdictional extent of the wetland basins, and classify the wetland habitat according to the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation: Midwest Region. Wetlands are areas that are saturated or inundated with surface and or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in hydric soil conditions. Examples of wetlands include seasonally flooded basins, floodplain forests, wet meadows, shallow and deep marshes, shrub swamps, wooded swamps, fens, and bogs. Wetland boundaries were determined through a routine analysis of the vegetation, soils and hydrology which must all show wetland characteristics for an area to be delineated as a wetland. One basin was delineated within the project area, which is summarized below and shown on Figure 5.

This wetland delineation was performed by Jacobson Environmental, PLLC under the direction of Wayne Jacobson, Minnesota Professional Soil Scientist #30611, Society of Wetland Scientists – Professional Wetland Scientist #1000, University of Minnesota / BWSR Wetland Delineator, Certified #1019, American Fisheries Society – Associate Fisheries Scientist #A-171. 2.0 METHODS 2.1 EXISTING INFORMATION REVIEW Prior to field delineation, Jacobson Environmental reviewed the following information: Jacobson Environmental, PLLC www.jacobsonenvironmental.com Environmental Consultants Wayne Jacobson, P.S.S., W.D.C., P.W.S., A.F.S. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5821 Humboldt Avenue North, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 (612) 802-6619 Cell Email: jacobsonenv@msn.com Wetland Delineation-Mitigation-Permitting-Monitoring-Banking-Functional Analysis-T & E Surveys Phase I Environmental Assessments-EAW’s-Soil ID-Soil Analysis & Delineation-Environmental Referrals Pond & Lake Weed Control & Fish Stocking-Tree Surveys-Natural Resource Management Plans 3 2.1.1 Antecedent Precipitation The previous three month’s precipitation data obtained from the Minnesota State Climatology Office suggest that the sampling period occurred under normal conditions. Antecedent precipitation data can be found in Appendix A. The growing season in this area is approximately from mid-April to mid-October, when the air temperature averages above 28 degrees F. This delineation was completed during the growing season. 2.1.2 National Wetlands Inventory The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) identified no wetlands within the property boundary (Figure 2). 2.1.3 Web Soil Survey The National Resource Conservation Service Web Soil Survey (Figure 7) identified the following soils: Soil Hydric Rating Kilkenny-Lester loams 0 Lester-Kilkenny loams 0 Lester-Kilkenny complex 5 2.1.4 Public Waters Inventory The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Waters Inventory shows that one public water exists on the property: Riley Creek, which runs approximately 445 feet along the northern edge of the property (Figure 4). 2.1.5 Topographic Map A topographic map with aerial photo overlay was obtained from MnTOPO (Figure 6). This map was reviewed for suspected wetland areas based on topography and vegetative cover. 2.2 FIELD DELINEATION The wetlands on the subject property were delineated using the routine determination methodology set forth in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and the 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation: Midwest Region as follows: 1) The vegetative community was sampled in all present strata to determine whether 50% of the dominant plant species were hydrophytic using the 50/20 method. Jacobson Environmental, PLLC www.jacobsonenvironmental.com Environmental Consultants Wayne Jacobson, P.S.S., W.D.C., P.W.S., A.F.S. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5821 Humboldt Avenue North, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 (612) 802-6619 Cell Email: jacobsonenv@msn.com Wetland Delineation-Mitigation-Permitting-Monitoring-Banking-Functional Analysis-T & E Surveys Phase I Environmental Assessments-EAW’s-Soil ID-Soil Analysis & Delineation-Environmental Referrals Pond & Lake Weed Control & Fish Stocking-Tree Surveys-Natural Resource Management Plans 4 2) Soil pits were dug using a Dutch auger to depths of 18”-40”, noting soil profiles and any hydric soil characteristics. 3) Signs of wetland hydrology were noted and were compared to field criteria such as depth to shallow water table and depth of soil saturation found in the soil pits. Transects were established in representative areas of each wetland. Each transect consisted of one sample point within the wetland and one sample point in upland. Other areas which have one or more of the wetland vegetation, soils, or hydrologic characteristics present, or where questionable conditions exist may also have been sampled. Data sheets for each sample point are available in Appendix B. Wetland classifications discussed in the text are set forth in Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (FWS/OBS Publication 79/31, Cowardin et al. 1979) and Wetlands of the United States (USFWS Circular 39, Shaw and Fredine, 1971.) Additionally, plant community types as named by Eggers and Reed (1998) are given. Wetland edges were marked with orange numbered pin flags or “wetland boundary” flagging tape on vegetation as site conditions warrant. Sample points are marked with orange numbered pin flags. Any wetlands or sample points were mapped using GPS. 2.2.1 Vegetation The plant species within the parcel were cataloged and assigned a wetland indicator status according to: Lichvar, R.W., D.L. Banks, W.N. Kirchner, and N.C. Melvin, 2016. The National Wetland Plant List: 2016 Wetland Ratings, Phytoneuron 2016-30: 1-17. In the text of this report and on the enclosed data forms, the plant indicator status follows the plant’s scientific name unless a status has not been assigned. The hydrophytic plant criterion is met when more than 50 percent of the dominant species by the 50/20 rule for each stratum (herb, shrub/sapling, tree, and woody vine) were assigned an obligate (OBL)1, facultative wet (FACW), and/or facultative (FAC) wetland status. With the 50/20 rule, dominants are generally measured by absolute % cover in each stratum which individually or collectively account for more than 50% of total vegetative cover in the stratum, plus any other species which itself accounts for at least 20% of the total vegetative cover. 2.2.2 Hydric Soils 1 OBL=Obligate Wetland, occurs an estimated 99% in wetlands. FACW=Facultative Wetland, has an estimated 67%-99% probability of occurrence in wetlands. FAC=Facultative, is equally likely to occur in wetlands and non-wetlands, 34%-66% probability. FACU=Facultative Upland, occurs in wetlands only occasionally, 1%-23% probability. UPL=Upland, almost never occurs in wetlands, <1% probability. NI= No Indicator, insufficient information available to determine an indicator status. Positive or negative sign previously indicated a frequency toward higher (+) or lower (-) frequency of occurrence within a category.

If a soil exhibits the indicators of a hydric soil or is identified as a hydric soil the hydric soil criterion is met. The break between hydric and non-hydric soils was determined by excavating soil pits along transects crossing the wetland/upland eco-tone and evaluating the soil colors, textures, and presence or absence of redoximorphic indicators (i.e., mottles, gley or oxidized rhizospheres). Hydric Soil Indicators for the Midwest Region were noted as presented in the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States version 8.1 (USDA NRCS 2017) if present at each sample point. Upper soil profiles were also compared to the mapped or inclusionary soil series found in the sample area for soil identification purposes. 2.2.3 Cautions Used in Applying the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils There are hydric soils with morphologies that are difficult to interpret. These include soils with black, gray, or red parent material; soils with high pH; soils high or low in content of organic matter; recently developed hydric soils, and soils high in iron inputs. In some cases, we do not currently have indicators to assist in the identification of hydric soils in these situations. If the soil meets the definition of a hydric soil, the lack of an indicator does not preclude the soil from being hydric. The indicators were developed mostly to identify the boundary of hydric soil areas and general ly work best on the margins. Not all the obviously wetter hydric soils will be identified by the indicators. Redoximorphic features are most likely to occur in soils that cycle between anaerobic (reduced) and aerobic (oxidized) conditions. Morphological features of hydric soils indicate that saturation and anaerobic conditions have existed under either contemporary or former hydrologic regimes. Where soil morphology seems inconsistent with the landscape, vegetation, or observable hydrology, it may be necessary to obtain the assistance of an experienced soil or wetland scientist to determine whether the soil is hydric. To clarify, when investigating hydric soils in this area, one must consider the following: • Many of these soils have black or gray parent materials. • Many of the soils have a high organic matter content. • The hydric soil margin is typically higher than the wetland boundary margin on the site . • Not all the obviously wetter soils will be identified by the indicators. • Many of the hydric soils are Mollisols which are classic problem hydric soils in many cases. 3.0 RESULTS 3.1 WETLAND BASIN DESCRIPTIONS Basin 1 Jacobson Environmental, PLLC www.jacobsonenvironmental.com Environmental Consultants Wayne Jacobson, P.S.S., W.D.C., P.W.S., A.F.S. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5821 Humboldt Avenue North, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 (612) 802-6619 Cell Email: jacobsonenv@msn.com Wetland Delineation-Mitigation-Permitting-Monitoring-Banking-Functional Analysis-T & E Surveys Phase I Environmental Assessments-EAW’s-Soil ID-Soil Analysis & Delineation-Environmental Referrals Pond & Lake Weed Control & Fish Stocking-Tree Surveys-Natural Resource Management Plans 6 Basin 1 was an approximately 0.098-acre, type 2/1, PEMB/PFO1A, wet meadow/floodplain forest wetland. The basin was dominated by Slough Sedge (OBL), Reed Canary Grass (FACW), and Black Willow (OBL). The basin drains into Riley Creek to the north through a narrow gulley (Figure 5). Hydrology indicators included A2 (high water table) and A3 (saturation). Wetland soils met indicators F3 (depleted matrix) and A11 (depleted below dark surface). Adjacent upland was typically dominated by Tall Goldenrod (FACU), Reed Canary Grass (FACW), and Common Buckthorn (FAC). Primary hydrology indicators were not observed at the upland sample point, and no hydric soil indicators were found in the upland sample point soil. The wetland boundary followed a change in vegetation from wetland to upland plant communities, as well as a gradual to distinct change in topography. The basin was not shown as a wetland on the NWI map (Figure 2) and was located within an area mapped as Kilkenny-Lester loam (RATING=0) by the Web Soil Survey (Figure 7). Sample data sheets 1-UP and 1-WET in Appendix B correspond to this basin. 4.0 CONFIRMATION OF JURISDICTIONAL STATUS Jacobson Environmental is submitting this report to the client and regulatory agencies to request a wetland boundary and type determination.

Approximate size of site (acres) or if a linear project, length (feet): 3.49 acres If you know that your proposal will require an individual Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, you must provide the names and addresses of all property owners adjacent to the project site. This information may be provided by attaching a list to your application or by using block 25 of the Application for Department of the Army permit which can be obtained at: http://www.mvp.usace.army.mil/Portals/57/docs/regulatory/RegulatoryDocs/engform_4345_2012oct.pdf 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. Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014 Page 4 of 11 Project Name and/or Number: 2018-295 PART FOUR: Aquatic Resource Impact1 Summary If your proposed project involves a direct or indirect impact to an aquatic resource (wetland, lake, tributary, etc.) identif y each impact in the table below. Include all anticipated impacts, including those expected to be temporary. Attach an overhead vie w map, aerial photo, and/or drawing showing all of the aquatic resources in the project area and the location(s) of the propose d impacts. Label each aquatic resource on the map with a reference number or letter and identify the impacts in the following t able. Aquatic Resource ID (as noted on overhead view) Aquatic Resource Type (wetland, lake, tributary etc.) Type of Impact (fill, excavate, drain, or remove vegetation) Duration of Impact Permanent (P) or Temporary (T)1 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.

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 a ddress 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 generall y 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). http://www.mvp.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/DelineationJDGuidance.aspx Appendix E Moments of Chanhassen 12/2/18 Carver ACM 116N 23W 10 4-1991 USGS N SS 8-2002 USGS W 4-2003 USGS N NV 4-2004 USGS W 3-2006 USGS N NV 9-2008 USGS D 9-2009 USGS N NV 5-2010 USGS N NV 4-2011 USGS N NV 4-2012 USGS N NV 9-2013 USGS N NV 8-2015 USGS W 3-2016 USGS N NV 4-2017 USGS D 4-2018 USGS W A A 9 1 11 A N N 11 N/A N A
