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). http://www.mvp.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/DelineationJDGuidance.aspx SEH is a registered trademark of Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.

The field delineation was completed by SEH staff, Certified Minnesota Wetland Professional-In Training Ashley Mack. This field delineation will be the basis on which wetland impacts will be assessed for future project work. This report describes the methodology and results of the field delineation performed on September 21, 2022. Figures referred to in the text are included at the end of the report. 1.1 Site Description The study area is located in Sections 19 & 30 in Township 32 North, Range 20 West in Scandia, Washington County, Minnesota as shown on Figure 1. Figure 2 shows the site on a 2021 aerial photograph background. The 61-acre site is bounded on the north by residential and agricultural land, on the east by private residential property, on the south by agricultural land, and on the west by Keystone Avenue North. The site is located in the Hardwood Creek and Sunrise River minor watershed, the Mississippi River – Twin Cities and Lower St. Croix River major watersheds, and Bank Service Areas (BSA) #6 & 7 (Figure 3). The study area consists of a variety of upland and wetland plant communities. The wetland and upland communities onsite are described in more detail in the following sections. 2 Wetland Delineation 2.1 Wetlands Definition Wetlands are defined in federal Executive Order 11990 as follows: “Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas.” According to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (USACE 1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Northcentral and Northeast Region (USACE 2012), one positive indicator (except in certain situations) from each WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT AUSTG 169612 Page 2 of the three elements must be present to make a positive wetland determination, which are as follows: • Greater than 50 percent dominance of hydrophytic plant species. • Presence of hydric soil. • The area is either permanently or periodically inundated, or soil is saturated to the surface during the growing season of the dominant vegetation. 2.2 Methodology 2.2.1 Resource Review Topographic maps, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) Public Waters Inventory (PWI) map, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey (USDA 2022) for Washington County, the Washington County hydric soils list, and LiDAR data were reviewed prior to visiting the site to locate potential wetland habitats. Figure 4 is a copy of the NWI map, Figure 5 is a copy of the PWI map, and Figure 6 is a copy of the NRCS Web Soil Survey map. Figure 7 shows the site boundary on two-ft LiDAR contours and a digital elevation model. These sources showed two wetland areas that were investigated in greater detail during the field delineation. 2.2.2 Field Procedures The study area was examined on September 21st, 2022, for areas meeting the technical wetland criteria per the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (USACE 1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Northcentral and Northeast Region (USACE 2012). The delineation procedures in the Corps Manual (i.e., the Routine Onsite Determination Method), in combination with wetland indicators and guidance provided in the Regional Supplement, were applied for this delineation. Where differences in the two documents occur, the Regional Supplement takes precedence over the Corps Manual for applications in the Northcentral and Northeastern Region (USACE 2012). Field notes, samples, and photographs were taken at representative locations in each wetland basin, with data transect locations following spacing guidelines in the Regional Supplement. The respective wetland and upland plots for each wetland were documented on Wetland Determination Data Forms (Appendix A). Relevant photographs of the site and representative sample locations are included in Appendix B; all other photographs will be retained on file at SEH. Wetland boundaries were located and marked with pin flags labeled with “WETLAND BOUNDARY” to allow for field review. The locations of the delineated wetland boundaries were collected with a sub-meter accuracy Global Positioning System (GPS) unit and mapped. The results of the delineation are shown on Figure 8. The sample points noted identify where data was collected. 2.3 Hydrophytic/Wetland Vegetation Wetland plant species nomenclature follows the National Wetland Plant List (USACE 2016). Identification was aided, when necessary, with field guides for the region. Vegetation was WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT AUSTG 169612 Page 3 sampled in nested circular plots: 5-ft radius for herbaceous species, 15-ft radius for shrubs, and 30-ft radius for trees and vines. 2.4 Hydric/Wetland Soils Soils were observed for hydric soil characteristics. Soils were examined in cores taken with a Dutch auger. Soil profiles were observed at a depth necessary to confirm hydric soil characteristics. Typical soil profile depths are typically within 18-24 inches below ground surface to allow for: (1) observation of an adequate portion of the soil profile to determine presence/absence of hydric soil characteristics; (2) observation of hydrology including depth to the water table and saturated soils; and, (3) identification of disturbances (e.g., buried horizon, plow line, etc.). Soil color determinations were made using Munsell Soil Color Charts (Gretag- Macbeth 1994). Site soil characteristics were compared to those mapped and described in the Soil Survey for Washington County (USDA 2022). Hydric soil characteristics were compared to those identified in the Northcentral and Northeastern Regional Supplement (USACE 2012) and the most recent version of the NRCS publication Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, Version 8.1 (USDA 2017). 2.5 Hydrology Primary and secondary indicators of hydrology were identified in the field to determine the presence or absence of wetland hydrology, as described in the Northcentral and Northeastern Regional Supplement (USACE 2012) and are listed in each wetland description. Subsurface wetland hydrology indicators were examined using the soil cores and/or soil pits as deep as 18 inches. 2.5.1 Wetland Classification Wetland classification follows the methods described in Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin, et al. 1979) that is used by the USFWS NWI. The Circular 39 classification (Shaw and Fredine 1956) is also provided. Wetland classification is also provided following Wetland Plants and Plant Communities of Minnesota & Wisconsin (Eggers and Reed 2014), which is used for classifying wetlands for permitting-related activities under the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) and the USACE Final St. Paul District Policy for Wetland Compensatory Mitigation in Minnesota (USACE 2009). 3 Results At the time of the delineation, the active growing season for the area had not yet ended. The Regional Supplement (USACE 2012) describes several criteria for an active growing season, which include fresh growth on wetland herbaceous vegetative species, bud break on trees or shrubs, and/or active flowering plants. The field delineation was conducted under precipitation conditions that were normal as compared to the historical average for the region according to the Minnesota State Climatology Office (Appendix C). Most of the vegetation was identifiable, including all dominant species. Four wetland basins were identified, delineated, and classified (Figure 8). The Wetland Determination Data Forms (Appendix A) indicate the dominant species of vegetation and the soil and hydrologic characteristics at representative locations around each basin. Table 1 is a summary of the size and classification of each wetland basin. WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT AUSTG 169612 Page 4 A summary description of each delineated wetland basin follows Table 1.

The wetland extends off the property to the east. The wetland vegetation is characterized as fresh (wet) meadow by the presence of substantial presence species including reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea – FACW), Pennsylvania smartweed (Persicaria pensylvanica – FACW), giant goldenrod (Solidago gigantea – FACW), and woolgrass (Scirpus cyperinus – OBL). Soils within the wetland met technical hydric soil indicator F6 – Redox Dark Surface. The Washington County soil survey identifies soils in this wetland as predominantly nonhydric. Secondary wetland hydrology indicator observed included D2 – Geomorphic Position and D5 – FAC Neutral Test. Saturation was not encountered within 18 inches of the ground surface at the sample point. The wetland boundary placement was primarily based upon a topographic change and a change in vegetation dominance. The transition to upland was marked by a subtle topographic rise and decreased cover of reed canary grass and increased cover of smooth brome (Bromus inermis – WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT AUSTG 169612 Page 5 UPL). The surrounding upland areas were dominated by smooth brome and tall goldenrod (Solidago altissima – FACU) in the herbaceous stratum. Upland soils did not meet hydric soils criteria. Hydrology indicators were not observed in the upland. 3.2 Wetland 2 Summary of Wetland 2 Characteristics Eggers and Reed Classification Seasonally Flooded Basin & Shrub-carr Cowardin Classification PEM1A & PSS1A Circular 39 Classification Type 1 & 6 Size (acres) 0.7009 Surficial Connectivity Wetland extends off property Data Forms 2-u/w Wetland 2 is a seasonally flooded basin and shrub-carr wetland community located in the northeast area of the project limits (Figure 8). The wetland extends off the property to the east. The wetland vegetation is characterized in the seasonally flooded basin by the presence of species including tall scouring rush (Equisetum hyemale – FAC) and lake sedge (Carex lacustris – OBL). Species within the shrub-carr included Bebb’s willow (Salix bebbiana – FACW) and quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides – FAC). Soils within the wetland met technical hydric soil indicator F6 – Redox Dark Surface. The Washington County soil survey identifies soils in this wetland as nonhydric. Secondary wetland hydrology indicator observed included D2 – Geomorphic Position and D5 – FAC Neutral Test. Saturation was not encountered within 18 inches of the ground surface at the sample point. The wetland boundary placement was primarily based upon a slight topographic change and a change in vegetation dominance. The transition to upland was marked by a subtle topographic rise and decreased cover of hydrophytic species and increased cover of eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana – FACU) and smooth brome. Upland soils did not meet hydric soils criteria. Hydrology indicators were not observed in the upland. 3.3 Wetland 3 Summary of Wetland 3 Characteristics Eggers and Reed Classification Seasonally Flooded Basin Cowardin Classification PEM1A Circular 39 Classification Type 1 Size (acres) 0.4435 Surficial Connectivity Isolated depression Data Forms 3-u/w WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT AUSTG 169612 Page 6 Wetland 3 is a seasonally flooded basin wetland community located in the northeast portion of the project limits (Figure 8). It is a depression that appears to be isolated with no discernable inlets or outlets. The wetland vegetation is characterized by the presence of species reed canary grass, giant goldenrod and stinging nettle (Urtica dioica – FAC). Soils within the wetland met technical hydric soil indicator F6 – Redox Dark Surface. The Washington County soil survey identifies soils in this wetland as nonhydric. Secondary wetland hydrology indicator observed included D2 – Geomorphic Position and D5 – FAC Neutral Test. Saturation was not encountered within 18 inches of the ground surface at the sample point. The wetland boundary placement was primarily based upon a change in vegetation dominance. The transition to upland was marked by a subtle topographic rise and decreased cover of reed canary grass and increased cover of smooth brome and creeping wild rye (Elymus repens – FACU). The surrounding upland areas were dominated by smooth brome, creeping wild rye and tall goldenrod in the herbaceous stratum. Upland soils did not meet hydric soils criteria. Hydrology indicators were not observed in the upland. 3.4 Wetland 4 Summary of Wetland 4 Characteristics Eggers and Reed Classification Deep Marsh Cowardin Classification PEM1F Circular 39 Classification Type 4 Size (acres) 0.5785 Surficial Connectivity Wetland extends off property Data Forms 4-u/w Wetland 4 is a deep marsh wetland community located in the north corner of the project limits (Figure 8). It is part of a larger wetland that extends off the property to the north. The wetland vegetation is characterized by the presence of species including speckled alder (Alnus incana – FACW), broadleaf cattail (Typha latifolia – OBL), Canadian clearweed (Pilea pumila – OBL) and hummock sedge (Carex stricta – OBL). Soils within the wetland met technical hydric soil indicator A1 – Histosol. The Washington County soil survey identifies soils in this wetland as hydric. The primary wetland hydrology indicator observed included A3 – Saturation. Saturation was encountered at ground surface at the sample point. Secondary hydrology indicators included C2 – Dry-Season Water Table, D2 – Geomorphic Position, and D5 – FAC Neutral Test. The wetland boundary placement was primarily based upon a topographic change and a change in vegetation dominance. The transition to upland was marked by a topographic rise and decreased cover of hydrophytic species and increased cover of choke cherry (Prunus virginiana – FACU), quaking aspen, and Pennsylvania sedge (Carex pensylvanica – UPL). The surrounding WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT AUSTG 169612 Page 7 upland areas were dominated by sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis – FACW) in the herbaceous stratum. Upland soils did not meet hydric soils criteria. Hydrology indicators were not observed in the upland. 3.5 Regulatory Considerations Wetlands in the project area are regulated by agencies at the local, regional, state, and federal levels including the USACE and the EPA at the federal level, the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) at the state level, and the City of Scandia at the local level. The City of Scandia has accepted the responsibility for the administration of the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) of 1991. The MNDNR has responsibility for the administration of wetlands and watercourses identified in the PWI. Construction plans that propose any direct alteration or indirect impact to wetlands or watercourses within the project area will require permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies. Violation of wetland regulations can result in substantial civil and/or criminal penalties. WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT AUSTG 169612 Page 8 4 Bibliography Cowardin, L. M., V. Carter, F. C.
