On behalf of the applicant, ESA performed a level 2 delineation of the Tii Gavo Outlots I, J J, and K located on
Meadowridge Trail N, Scandia, MN. PID# 28.032.20.42.0003, 28.032.20.34.0002 & 28.032.20.42.0004. The
site was visited Thursday, October 21, 2021 (and revisited after the TEP field review). Seven wetland areas
were delineated (5/6 and 2/3 are connected).
The TEP reviewed the site on 11-18-21 and recommended several changes. These changes were incorporated
and are shown in the report. The LGU appoves this boundary and type request and this approval is valid for 5
years.
1 Findings must consider any TEP recommendations.

Hydric Soil List - All Components
This table lists the map unit components and their hydric status in the survey
area. This list can help in planning land uses; however, onsite investigation is
recommended to determine the hydric soils on a specific site (National Research
Council, 1995; Hurt and others, 2002).
The three essential characteristics of wetlands are hydrophytic vegetation, hydric
soils, and wetland hydrology (Cowardin and others, 1979; U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, 1987; National Research Council, 1995; Tiner, 1985). Criteria for all of
the characteristics must be met for areas to be identified as wetlands. Undrained
hydric soils that have natural vegetation should support a dominant population of
ecological wetland plant species. Hydric soils that have been converted to other
uses should be capable of being restored to wetlands.
Hydric soils are defined by the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils
(NTCHS) as soils that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding
long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the
upper part (Federal Register, 1994). These soils, under natural conditions, are
either saturated or inundated long enough during the growing season to support
the growth and reproduction of hydrophytic vegetation.
The NTCHS definition identifies general soil properties that are associated with
wetness. In order to determine whether a specific soil is a hydric soil or nonhydric
soil, however, more specific information, such as information about the depth and
duration of the water table, is needed. Thus, criteria that identify those estimated
soil properties unique to hydric soils have been established (Federal Register,
2002). These criteria are used to identify map unit components that normally are
associated with wetlands. The criteria used are selected estimated soil properties
that are described in "Soil Taxonomy" (Soil Survey Staff, 1999) and "Keys to Soil
Taxonomy" (Soil Survey Staff, 2006) and in the "Soil Survey Manual" (Soil Survey
Division Staff, 1993).
If soils are wet enough for a long enough period of time to be considered hydric,
they should exhibit certain properties that can be easily observed in the field.
These visible properties are indicators of hydric soils. The indicators used to
make onsite determinations of hydric soils are specified in "Field Indicators of
Hydric Soils in the United States" (Hurt and Vasilas, 2006).
Hydric soils are identified by examining and describing the soil to a depth of
about 20 inches. This depth may be greater if determination of an appropriate
indicator so requires. It is always recommended that soils be excavated and
described to the depth necessary for an understanding of the redoximorphic
processes. Then, using the completed soil descriptions, soil scientists can
compare the soil features required by each indicator and specify which indicators
have been matched with the conditions observed in the soil. The soil can be
identified as a hydric soil if at least one of the approved indicators is present.
Map units that are dominantly made up of hydric soils may have small areas, or
inclusions, of nonhydric soils in the higher positions on the landform, and map
units dominantly made up of nonhydric soils may have inclusions of hydric soils
in the lower positions on the landform.
The criteria for hydric soils are represented by codes in the table (for example,
2). Definitions for the codes are as follows:
