1.0 SUMMARY
Jacobson Environmental, PLLC (JE) visited the project site at PID # 2103220420004 on 9/23/2020. The
site was approximately 22.55 acres in size, and was located at 12937 Mayberry Trail N, Scandia,
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 2012
Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation: Northcentral and Northeast 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.
Two wetland basins were delineated within the project area, which are summarized below and shown on
Figure 5.

2.0 METHODS
2.1 EXISTING INFORMATION REVIEW
Prior to field delineation, Jacobson Environmental reviewed the following information:
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 dry 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 L2ABH and PEM1C wetland complexes 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
Santiago silt loam, 2-6% slopes 0
Santiago silt loam, 6-15% slopes 0
Freeon silt loam, 2-6% slopes 3
Kingsley sandy loam, 6-12% slopes 0
Crystal Lake silt loam, 0-3% slopes 3
Crystal Lake silt loam, 1-6% slopes 3
Comstock silt loam, 0-3% slopes 5
Barronett silt loam 92
2.1.4 Public Waters Inventory
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Waters Inventory shows that one public water
exists on the property with an OHW of 951.0’ (Figure 4).

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 2012 Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation: Northcentral and Northeast 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.
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. 4-foot wood lath marked with orange
“wetland boundary” flagging tape or flagging tied on vegetation may be used if 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
A hydric soil is a soil formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the
growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part. 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
Northcentral and Northeast 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 generally 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.
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.

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
Basin 1 was an approximately 1.837-acre, Type 5/4, L2ABH, shallow open water/deep marsh fringe
wetland. The basin was dominated by Red Maple, Common Buckthorn, Reed Canary Grass and Tussock
Sedge. Other species of hydrophytic vegetation that were observed and not sampled were Jewelweed,
White Water Lily, Yellow Water Lily, Watershield, Arrow-Leaf Tearthumb, River Bulrush, Narrowleaf
Cattail and Water Smartweed.
Hydrology indicators included A1 (surface water), A2 (high water table), A3 (saturation) and B13 (aquatic
fauna).
Wetland soils met indicator F3 (depleted matrix).
Adjacent upland was typically dominated by Red Maple and Common Buckthorn. 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 distinct change in topography. The basin was shown as a L2ABH wetland on the NWI map (Figure
2) and was located within an area mapped as Barronett silt loam (RATING=92) by the Web Soil Survey
(Figure 7).
Sample data sheets 1-UP and 1-WET in Appendix B correspond to this basin.
Basin 2
Basin 2 was an approximately 0.524-acre, Type 2, PEMB, wet meadow wetland. The basin was
dominated by Lake Sedge and Beggarticks. Other species of hydrophytic vegetation that were observed
and not sampled were Lesser Duckweed, Arrow-Leaf Tearthumb, Wool Grass and Broadleaf Arrowhead.
Hydrology indicators included A2 (high water table) and A3 (saturation).
Wetland soils met indicator F3 (depleted matrix).

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: 2020-313
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
vegetation)
Duration of

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:

Attachment A
Request for Delineation Review, Wetland Type Determination, or
J u risd ictional,Oete rm in atio n
By submission of the enclosed wetland delineation report, I am requesting that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District
(CorOs) and/or the Wetland Conservation Act Local Government Unit (LGU) provide me with the following (check all that apply):
fltr wetland Type confirmation
ffi Oelineation 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.).
ffi ereliminary 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.
f] approved Jurisdictionat Determination. An approved jurisdictional determination (AJD) is an official Corps determination that
jurisdictional waters ofthe 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.
ln 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 ManuaQ and the Guidelines for
Submitting Wetland Delineations in Minnesota (2013).
