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:
1 The term “impact” as used in this joint application form is a generic term used for disclosure purposes to identify activities that may require approval from one or more
regulatory agencies. For purposes of this form it is not meant to indicate whether or not those activities may require mitigation/replacement.
Project Name: Spring Lake Ridge, Prior Lake, MN
Attachment B
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:
8420.04120 Exemption Standards
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:
Under 8420.0420 Exemption Standards Subp. 6. Utilities, it states that a replacement plan is not required for impacts
resulting from: (1) the installation, maintenance, repair, or replacement of utility lines, including pipelines if: (a) the
impacts have been avoided and minimized to the extent possible; and (b) the proposed project significantly modifies or
alters less than one‐half acre of wetlands. The temporary impact associated with Wetland 5 will involve the construction
of the trunk sewer line for the proposed development within a narrow stretch of the eastern side of Wetland 5 that is
0.1498 ac. in area . Efforts were made to minimize this impact by installing the sewer line as close to the roadway (Sunset
Ave.) as possible rather than constructing it all within the open water part of the wetland.
Since the impact for Wetland 5 was avoided and minimized to the degree possible and the impact is well below 0.5 acre,
this exemption request should be approved. The applicant is requesting an exemption decision from the LGU for the
temporary impact to Wetland 5. Following the construction of the truck sewer, the impacted area will be regraded and
seeded with an appropriate mix that includes species of native grasses and forbs that currently are well established within
this area.
Project Name: Spring Lake Ridge, Prior Lake, MN
Attachment C
Avoidance and Minimization
and Additional Information
Project Purpose, Need, and Requirements. Clearly state the purpose of your project and need for your project. Also include a
description of any specific requirements of the project as they relate to project location, project footprint, water management,
and any other applicable requirements. Attach an overhead plan sheet showing all relevant features of the project (buildings,
roads, etc.), aquatic resource features (impact areas noted) and construction details (grading plans, storm water management
plans, etc.), referencing these as necessary:
D.R. Horton is proposing a new residential development in the City of Prior Lake. This proposed development is
located south of C.S.A.H. 17 (Marschall Rd) in the southwestern part of the city (Figure 1). The Spring Lake Ridge
development will include 99 single‐family lots with associated public roads, site amenities, and storm water ponding.
The site itself covers approximately 84 acres of land that consists of an existing residence, areas of maintained turf
grass, agricultural land in row crop production, deciduous woodlands, and several wetland areas (Figure 2). Access
for the site is planned via one roadway, Sunset Avenue, which will continue through the development to the south
where it will be stubbed for future expansion at the property boundary. The project‘s construction will consist of
site grading for infrastructure including: roads, utilities, four storm water facilities, an infiltration basin area, and
building pad areas. Construction is expected to begin in 2022 and will continue until fully built. Project plans that
include the existing conditions and grading plans for the proposed development are included in Appendices A and
B.
The need for this project is based on the expanding residential housing market in the City of Prior Lake as well as
availability to public infrastructure. Expected housing market growth in this part of Prior Lake will be met with new
residential development including the proposed Spring Lake Ridge development. Current land use classification for
the site is Residential, Urban Low Density (0‐4 U/AC).
Existing Wetland Resources On‐Site
Wetlands within the proposed residential development were delineated and documented in a report submitted by
Anderson Engineering on May 1st, 2019 (Appendix D). The wetlands were reviewed by the LGU (City of Prior Lake’s
wetland consultant WSB) and the Technical Evaluation Panel with a Notice of Decision being issued on June 28th,
2019 (Appendix E). Three wetlands were delineated within the site and are designated as Wetlands 1, 2, and 3. The
following is a description of Wetlands 2 and 5, the two wetlands proposed to be permanently and temporarily
impacted for the project.
Wetland 2
Wetland 2 is a Type 1/2/3/4/6 (PEM1A/B/C/F/PSS1A/PFO1A; Seasonally Flooded Basin/Floodplain Forest/Fresh Wet
Meadow/Shallow Marsh/Deep Marsh/Shrub‐Carr) wetland complex located in the southern half of the site and is
approximately 12.65 acres in area within the site boundary. This wetland extends off‐site to the southwest and is
part of DNR Protected Waters 70‐54 P (Spring Lake). Wetland 2 is part of a large wetland complex that is associated
with Spring Lake.
One wetland impact (5,152 sq. ft./0.1182 ac.) is being proposed directly to a fresh wet meadow part of Wetland 2
that involves permanently filling a small part of this wetland (Appendix C). This impact will be the result of grading
associated with the construction of Sunset Avenue in this part of the proposed development.
Wetland 2 Impact Area
Wetland 5
Wetland 5 is a Type 4 (PUBF; Deep Marsh) wetland located in the northern part of the project area and is
approximately 1.64 acre in area. The perimeter of this basin is dominated almost entirely by narrow leaf cattail
(Typha angustifolia) that transitions to upland where switch grass (Panicum virgatum) and a few other grasses and
forbs have established. Wetland 5 is part of the Spring Lake Wetland Project that was created sometime between
2013 and 2015.
One wetland impact (6,526 sq. ft./0.1498 ac.) is being proposed directly to Wetland 5 that involves temporarily
impacting the eastern side of this wetland along Sunset Avenue (Appendix C). This impact will be the result of
installing the trunk sewer for the development. Following construction in the area of temporary wetland impact, the
wetland will be restored to pre‐construction elevations and will be seeded with an appropriate seed mix for the type
of wetland plant community being impacted.
Wetland 5 Impact Area

area where a field access road
crosses the wetland and
watercourse. Vegetation in the
impact area consist of mainly reed
canary grass and little else. The
linear watercourse will be
directed through a culvert once
the road is constructed in this part
of the development.

area where a temporary impact
will take place. Narrow fringe of
cattail along open water that
transitions to upland dominated
primarily by switch grass.
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 discuss 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:
In general, a total avoidance alternative would result in the failure to meet the demand for this type of residential
development in the City of Prior Lake by reducing or eliminating the overall usability and accessibility of the site. The
reduction or elimination of this type of residential development of the site would be in conflict with the current land
use classification of low density residential. As less land is available within the city to build this type of development,
the ability to avoid Wetland 2 became difficult when faced with constructing Sunset Avenue through the site in order
to utilize the buildable land south of Wetland 2 and to provide a roadway connection at the southern extent of the
site for future development.
Wetland 2 Total Wetland Avoidance Build Alternative
Due to the location of Wetland 2 within the Spring Lake Ridge s ite as well as the proposed grading for Sunset Avenue
and the 5’ sidewalk along the north/west side of this street, a total wetland avoidance alternative was not possible.
In order for Sunset Avenue and the 5’ sidewalk to be built to city standards and cross Wetland 2, it will result in
impacting a small area of Wetland 2.
An avoidance scenario that was considered to avoid all impacts to this wetland area involved terminating Sunset
Avenue to the north of Wetland 2 with a cul‐de‐sac. This avoidance alternative may avoid the direct impact to
Wetland 2 but it would not be allowed by the City. The City requires streets that terminate with a cul‐de‐sac be no
longer than 600 LF in length. If this road were to terminate at a cul‐de‐sac it would be approximately 1,800 LF in
length which would exceed the City’s maximum length of 600 LF by 1,200 LF. The City also is planning for Sunset
Avenue to be built through the site to provide a future roadway connection to properties south of Spring Lake Ridge
that may be annexed into the City sometime in the future.
No Action Alternative:
The no action alternative would result in a failure to meet the purpose and need of the proposed project. The
applicant considers this alternative infeasible since the land use in this part of Prior Lake is zoned PUD and is guided
for low density residential and would not be reasonable for the investment‐backed expectations of the applicant or
meeting the demand for this type of single‐family residential housing in the City of Prior Lake. Therefore, the no
action alternative is not a viable consideration.
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):
The Applicant has considered minimizing wetland impacts to the degree possible, given the constraints posed by the
location of Wetland 2 in regards to the proposed location of Sunset Avenue. Efforts were made to minimize wetland
impacts to the degree possible and involved selecting the narrowest crossing of Wetland 2 and grading the side
slopes of the new roadway with the steepest allowable 3:1 slope.
Sunset Avenue will be aligned in such a way as to minimize wetland impact to Wetland 2. If the roadway were located
further to the west or east, it would end up impacting more of Wetland 2 than what is currently being proposed.
Sunset Avenue is the main roadway within the development and is a critical component of being able to develop the
southwestern part of the site. Use of 3:1 slope along the roadway will minimize wetland impact to Wetland 2 when
compared to grading the side slopes with less steep slopes like 4:1 or 5:1.
Additional Information
Tree Removal
There will be approximately 0.07 acre of tree removal associated with this project within wetland areas to be
impacted.
BMP’s.
Wetland areas not being impacted will be protected by erosion control fence during the construction phase of the
development. All disturbed areas will be seeded and mulched. Slopes over 3:1 will be seeded and blanketed.
Other Permits or Approvals Required: MPCA General Stormwater Permit
MPCA Sanitary Sewer Extension Permit

Proposed Wetland Mitigation
Wetland mitigation being proposed for permanently impacting parts of Wetland 2 will involve the purchase of a total
of 10,304 sq. ft. (0.2365 ac.) of Type 2 (fresh wet meadow) wetland credit from wetland bank #1682, which is located
in Scott County. This wetland bank is located within the same Major Watershed (Minnesota (Shakopee) – 33) and Bank
Service Area (9) as the subject property. This action should satisfy any mitigation requirements for the one wetland
area being permanently impacted within the proposed development.
Project Name: Spring Lake Ridge, Prior Lake, MN
Attachment D
Replacement/Compensatory Mitigation
Complete this part if your application involves wetland replacement/compensatory mitigation not associated with the local road
wetland replacement program. Applicants should consult Corps mitigation guidelines and WCA rules for requirements.
Replacement/Compensatory Mitigation via Wetland Banking. Complete this section if you are proposing to use credits from an
existing wetland bank (with an account number in the State wetland banking system) for all or part of your
replacement/compensatory mitigation requirements.

Applicants should attach documentation indicating that they have contacted the wetland bank account owner and reached at least
a tentative agreement to utilize the identified credits for the project. This documentation could be a signed purchase agreement,
signed application for withdrawal of credits or some other correspondence indicating an agreement between the applicant and the
bank owner. However, applicants are advised not to enter into a binding agreement to purchase credits until the mitigation plan is
approved by the Corps and LGU.
Currently no wetland banking credits are available within the same minor watershed (from Spring Lake‐33129) as
the proposed project area. Several wetland banks are located in the same major watershed (Minnesota River
(Shakopee), 33).
Bank #1682, which is located in the same major watershed and bank service area as the site, will be able to provide
all of the needed wetland credit for this project. The applicant is proposing to purchase the needed wetland banking
credits from this wetland bank in order to satisfy the mitigation requirements associated with the proposed
residential development project.
Contact has been made with the manager of wetland bank #1682 in May of 2022 to discuss credit availability for the
purchase of needed wetland credit for the project. Based on the amount of wetland banking credit required for the
mitigation associated with this project, wetland bank #1682 will be able to provide the total amount of wetland
credit needed.
A purchase agreement with wetland bank will be drafted during the comment period of this permit and executed
following final approval of this permit application by the LGU and the Army Corps of Engineers in order to secure the
needed wetland banking credits for this project.

Lake (PID: 259080010), Spring Lake Township, Scott County, Minnesota. The parcel is in Section 8, Township 114
North, Range 22 West.
Three wetlands or portions thereof were identified and delineated within the investigation area as depicted in
Appendix A, Figure 5. Wetland 1 is a PFO1A, Type 1, floodplain forest. Wetland 2 is a PEM1F/C/B/A/PSS1A/PFO1A,
Type 1/2/3/4/6, seasonally flooded basin/floodplain forest/fresh wet meadow/shallow marsh/ deep marsh/ shrub
swamp. Wetland 3 is a PEM1C, Type 3, shallow marsh.
BACKGROUND & METHODOLOGY
WETLAND INVESTIGATION
Winkler Land Co, LLC

May 1st, 2019 P a g e 4
BACKGROUND
As requested by Winkler Land Company, LLC, Anderson Engineering of MN, LLC completed a wetland investigation
at the property located west of Spring Lake (PID: 259080010), Spring Lake Township, Scott County, Minnesota
(Appendix A, Figure 1).
The site is in Section 8, Township 114 North, Range 22 West. The wetland delineation was completed in
accordance with the 1987 United States Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the published
regional supplement to the Army Corps Wetland Delineation Manual, Midwest Region.
The purpose of this study was to identify areas meeting the technical criteria for wetlands, delineate the
jurisdictional extent of the wetland basins, and classify the wetland habitats within the investigation area.
Fieldwork for this site investigation was completed by Environmental Associates, Alex Yellick and Katie Ring, on
April 16th and April 24th, 2019. GIS work for the site investigation was completed by GIS Specialist, Joe Aden. The
weather was sunny and approximately 60 degrees Fahrenheit on both days.
METHODOLOGY
U.S. Geologic Service 7.5” Topographic Quadrangle maps, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland
Inventory maps, U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey and available
aerial photographs were consulted to initially locate potential wetland habitats.
Routine On-site Determination Method was used during this investigation. In this method, the following
procedures were used:
1. The vegetative community was sampled in all present strata to determine whether it met hydrophytic
vegetation criteria based on the indicators identified in the Midwest Regional Supplement.
2. Soil pits were dug using a Dutch auger to depths of sixteen to thirty-six inches. The soil profile was noted
in addition to any hydric soil characteristics.
3. Signs of wetland hydrology were noted and compared to field criteria such as depth to shallow water
table and depth of soil saturation found in the soil pits.
Data from sample points were recorded on Army Corps of Engineers Midwest Region Wetland Determination Data
Forms (Appendix B). At least one sample point transect crosses the delineated wetland edge. This transect consists
of an upland sample point and a wetland sample point. Other sample points may be in areas which have one or
more other the wetland vegetation, soils, or hydrologic characteristics present; where questionable conditions
exist; or to verify the absence of wetland criteria. Photographs are also taken at each sample point and of the
wetland and upland buffer (Appendix C).
Sample points were marked in the field with orange flags. The identified wetland boundary was marked with
sequentially numbered pink flags. All sample points and the delineated wetland boundary were located using a
Trimble Geo XH sub-meter GPS unit.

MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES PUBLIC WATER INVENTORY:
The MN Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory for Scott County, MN (Appendix A, Figure 4),
does identify public water within the project extent. Spring Lake (70005400) reaches into the southeastern part
of the parcel.
30-DAY ROLLING PRECIPITATION DATA:
A review of the 30-day rolling precipitation data collected from the University of Minnesota Climatology Working
Group (Appendix D) indicates that precipitation totals for the weeks prior to the first site visit were below the
range of average in the general investigation area and above average for the second field visit. The overall
hydrologic conditions were suitable, however, for completing an accurate wetland determination and boundary
delineation.

FIELD REVIEW
WETLAND 1
Wetland 1 is a PFO1A, Type 1, floodplain forest that is approximately 1.09 acres in size (Appendix A, Figure 5). The
wetland is primarily vegetated with sugar maple (Acer saccharum), wild black current (Ribes americanum), ramps
(Allium tricoccum), and yellow avens (Geum aleppicum). The underlying soils are mapped as ‘Glencoe silty clay
loam, 0-1% slopes.’ The investigated soil profile met the ‘thick dark surface’ hydric soil indicator. The hydrology
indicators observed include a sparsely vegetated concave surface, a high water table observed at a depth of eight
inches and saturation observed at the soil surface.
The upland buffer surrounding the wetland is dominated by sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and wild black current
(Ribes americanum). The wetland-upland transition areas are formed by gentle slopes and are within the ‘Glencoe
silty clay loam, 0-1% slopes’ soil unit.
WETLAND 2
Wetland 2 is a PEM1F/C/B/A/PSS1A/PFO1A, Type 1/2/3/4/6, seasonally flooded basin/ floodplain forest/ shrub
swamp/ fresh wet meadow/ shallow marsh/ deep marsh – wetland complex. It extends off-site to the southwest.
The on-site portion is approximately 12.65 acres in size (Appendix A, Figure 5). The wetland is primarily vegetated
with grey alder (Alnus incana), reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), buckthorn
(Rhamnus cathartica), rock elm (Ulmus thomasii), red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea), gray dogwood (Cornus
racemosa), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) and red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa). The underlying soils are
mapped in the following soil units; Glencoe silty clay loam, 0-1% slopes; Webster-Glencoe silty clay loams; Lester
soils, 18-25%; Houghton muck, 0-1%; Webster-Le Sueur silty clay loams; Lester loam, 2-6% slopes; Lester loam, 6-

dark surface’ hydric soil indicator. The hydrology indicators observed include saturation observed at the soil
surface and a high water table observed at a depth of eight inches.
The upland buffer and transition area surrounding the wetland is formed by gentle slopes. The vegetation is also
dominated by Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). The underlying soils are
also mapped as ‘Webster-Le Sueur silty clay loams.’
INVESTIGATION AREA A
Investigation Area A is a nonwetland area located south of Marschall Road between Wetland 2 and 3. The area is
dominated by common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica), prickly gooseberry (Ribes cynosbati), and reed canary
grass (Phalaris arundinacea). The underlying soils are mapped as ‘Webster-Le Sueur silty clay loams.’ Hydrophytic
vegetation and wetland hydrology were observed in the area, however, no hydric soil indicators were met.
INVESTIGATION AREA B
Investigation Area B is a nonwetland area located at the end of Sunset Avenue. The area is dominated by balsam
fir (Abies balsamea), box elder (Acer negundo), pigweed (Amaranthus albus), and smooth brome (Bromus inermis).
The underlying soils are mapped as ‘Lester loam, 2-6% slopes.’ Wetland hydrology indicators were met in the area,
however, hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils were not present.

CONCLUSION
Three wetlands or portions thereof were identified and delineated in accordance with the 1987 United States
Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual within the investigation area. Wetland 1 is a PFO1C, Type
1, floodplain forest. Wetland 2 is a PEM1F/C/B/A/PSS1A/PFO1A, Type 1/2/3/4/6, seasonally flooded
basin/floodplain forest/fresh wet meadow/shallow marsh/deep marsh/shrub swamp. Wetland 3 is a PEM1C, Type
3, shallow marsh.
The wetlands in the investigation area may be regulated by several agencies at the local, state, and/or federal
level. Activities which may potentially impact wetlands should be discussed in advance with the appropriate
regulating agency regarding potential permit requirements. The Local Government Unit (LGU) responsible for
implementing the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act at this project location is Scott County Soil and Water
Conservation District.
The watershed district and the county may require vegetated buffers around all regulated wetland areas. Wetland
buffers must meet the standards specified by the watershed district and the county for any project that is
regulated under the Wetland Conservation Act.
See Appendix E for Minnesota Routine Assessment Methodology (MnRAM) wetland functional assessment
resulting in a ‘Preserve’ classification for wetland 1 and wetland 2 and a ‘Manage 2’ classification for wetland 3.
This wetland investigation meets the standards and criteria described in the 1987 United States Army Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and all applicable subsequent guidance for an on-site determination. The
results reflect the conditions present at the time of the delineation.

15330 WinklerMarschall Rd, Prior Lake, W1
Assessment Purpose: Planning
This wetland has been drained or altered 0% from its original size of 1.08 acres.
This wetland is located in Spring Lake Township Township.
Site conditions were Normal. This wetland is estimated to cover 1.08 acres.
This report reflects conditions on the ground at the date of the assessment and, unless noted or implicit in the
standard questions, does not reflect speculation on the future or past conditions.
SCOTT County, Minnesota (Shakopee) Watershed, Corps Bank Service Area #9
Wetland ID: 116, Township 114, Section 8, Range 22
General Features
Hydrogeomorphology
The maximum water depth at this site is 24 inches, with 80 percent inundated. With an immedidate drainage
area of 15 acres, it is doubtful that this wetland is sustainable given its small catchment area.
Special Features
Vegetative Communities
The soils in the immediate wetland area are primarily Glencoe silty clay loam, depressional, 0 to 1 percent
slopes. The adjacent upland, to about 500 feet, is Lester loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes.
The following plant communities were observed:
(See Appendix A for details on the Dominant Species per plant community)
Vegetation and Upland Buffer
The extent of vegetation in this wetland is about 5 percent and the naturalized buffer width averages 400 feet.
Vegetated buffers around wetlands provide multiple benefits including wildlife habitat, erosion protection, and
a reduction in surface water runoff.
This buffer serves as an excellent buffer for wetland water quality. It provides moderate coverage for wildlife.

Functional Ratings
Function Rating Comment
Vegetative Diversity High High-functioning vegetative communities reflect the presence of diverse,
native wetland species and a lack of non-native or invasive species.
Additional stormwater
treatment needs
High Because the maintenance of wetland water quality index is high, no
additional treatment is called for.
Maintenance of
Hydrologic Regime
High Due either to careful human management or lack of alteration of the
outlet or watershed conditions, the wetland maintains a hydrologic
regime similar to the original wetland type. This stability supports
characteristic vegetative communities and is closely associated with
flood attenuation, water quality, and groundwater interaction.
Flood/Stormwater/Att
enuation
Moderate The wetland provides some flood storage and/or flood wave
attenuation. It may have either an altered or unrestricted outlet,
disturbed wetland soils, thin or little emergent vegetation (with channels)
or it may be situated high in a watershed with a low proportion of
impervious surfaces, moderate runoff volumes, loamy upland soils, and
one or more other wetlands present within the subwatershed.
Downstream Water
Quality
High This wetland has the ability and opportunity to protect valuable
downstream resources, including recreational waters. A wetland with
significant emergent vegetation and overland flow characteristics
removes sediment from stormwater. A high nutrient removal rating
indicates dense vegetation (to maximize nutrient uptake) and sheet
flow. The wetland may protect a valuable water resource within 0.5
miles downstream. More (and less-treated) runoff also increase a
wetland's opportunity to rate high for this function. Maintaining wide,
natural buffers and keeping out surges of untreated stormwater will help
maintain this wetland's role as a protector of important resources lower
in the watershed.
Maintenance of
Wetland Water
Quality
High Wetland water quality is high, indicating little need for additional
treatment. As long as upland land use and existing buffer conditions do
not change, this wetland can be expected to sustain current
characteristics.
Shoreline Protection Not
Applicable
The site does not fringe a deepwater habitat, lake, or is not within any
type of watercourse.
Maintenance of
Characteristic
Wildlife Habitat
Structure
High In additional to good vegetative quality, this site has complex
interspersion of communities, providing ample opportunities for species
to live and reproduce. It may be one of several different types of
wetlands or may be the last refuge of a given type in the vicinity.
Barriers do not fragment its value to temporary members of more
mobile species.
Maintenance of

Not
Applicable

of the entire area.
Page 2 of 4
Maintenance of
Characteristic
Amphibian Habitat
High Optimal amphibian breeding habitat that lacks predatory fish, is deep
and well oxygenated, and provides habitat for a variety of species. Good
sites will have few barriers to movement (roads and development) as
well as wide, unmanicured buffers and pretreatment of runoff.
Aesthetics/Recreation
/Education/Cultural
Moderate Many wetlands are visible from nearby buildings or roads and are
accessible for some recreational activities. Excess negative human
influence (such as trash or alteration) will reduce the ranking of well-
used and highly-accessible sites.
Wetland restoration
potential
Not
Applicable
Because restoration would affect permanent structures or infrastructure
(houses, roads, septic systems), this site is not suitable for restoration.
Wetland Sensitivity to
Stormwater and
Urban Development
Moderate This wetland is moderately sensitive to stormwater; Floodplain forests,
fresh wet meadows dominated by reed canary grass, shallow and deep
marshes dominated by cattail, reed canary grass, giant reed or purple
loosestrife, and shallow, open water communities with low to moderate
vegetative diversity.

Wetland ID: 117, Township 114, Section 8, Range 22
General Features
Hydrogeomorphology
The maximum water depth at this site is 18 inches, with 80 percent inundated. With an immedidate drainage
area of 60 acres, it is doubtful that this wetland is sustainable given its small catchment area.
Special Features
As a shoreline wetland, this site has the potential to protect from erosion and provide spawning and nursery
habitat for fish and wildlife. The potential for erosion and/or slope failure of shoreline or streambank areas is
also dependent on the land use and condition on the slope above the water level and on top of the bank.
Deep-rooted grasses allowed to grow naturally provide the most protection, as will species with stronger
stems; this includes submerged macrophytes. The greater the vegetation density, the greater the shoreline
protection.
The soils in the immediate wetland area are primarily Glencoe silty clay loam, depressional, 0 to 1 percent
slopes. The adjacent upland, to about 500 feet, is Lester fine sandy loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes.
Vegetation and Upland Buffer
The extent of vegetation in this wetland is about 95 percent and the naturalized buffer width averages 40 feet.
Vegetated buffers around wetlands provide multiple benefits including wildlife habitat, erosion protection, and
a reduction in surface water runoff.
This buffer provides some protection for the wetland water quality but little habitat for wildlife.

Vegetative Communities
Functional Ratings
The majority of vegetation at this site, such as it is, does not contribute to wetland function beyond water
retention and flow resistance. However, because the weighted average can "hide" smaller communities,
always check for even small patches of high-quality species.
The highest rated community was the Floodplain Forest community rated at 1. Averaging all the communities
together, the Vegetative Diversity and Integrity of this wetland is Moderate. A more accurate look uses a
weighted average; using this method, this site shows a Low Vegetative Diversity and Integrity.
The following plant communities were observed:
(See Appendix A for details on the Dominant Species per plant community)
Function Rating Comment
N Floodplain area identified in a zoning ordinance or map.
Vegetative Diversity Moderate Moderate-functioning vegetative communities indicate a presence of
native wetland species with substantial non-native or invasive species.
Additional stormwater
treatment needs
Moderate Sediment removal would improve the ability of this site to maintain water
quality.
Maintenance of
Hydrologic Regime
Moderate There has been some degree of human alteration of the wetland
hydrology, either by outlet control or by altering immediate watershed
conditions. However, the wetland retains some of the hydrologic regime
similar to the original wetland type, either in part of the wetland or
overall to some extent. Because of the interference (whether active or
inadvertant), some characteristic vegetative communities have likely
been affected, as also have the functions of flood attenuation, water
quality and groundwater interaction.

Flood/Stormwater/Att
enuation
Moderate The wetland provides some flood storage and/or flood wave
attenuation. It may have either an altered or unrestricted outlet,
disturbed wetland soils, thin or little emergent vegetation (with channels)
or it may be situated high in a watershed with a low proportion of
impervious surfaces, moderate runoff volumes, loamy upland soils, and
one or more other wetlands present within the subwatershed.
Downstream Water
Quality
High This wetland has the ability and opportunity to protect valuable
downstream resources, including recreational waters. A wetland with
significant emergent vegetation and overland flow characteristics
removes sediment from stormwater. A high nutrient removal rating
indicates dense vegetation (to maximize nutrient uptake) and sheet
flow. The wetland may protect a valuable water resource within 0.5
miles downstream. More (and less-treated) runoff also increase a
wetland's opportunity to rate high for this function. Maintaining wide,
natural buffers and keeping out surges of untreated stormwater will help
maintain this wetland's role as a protector of important resources lower
in the watershed.
Maintenance of
Wetland Water
Quality
Moderate Wetland water quality is average. Sediment removal from incoming
water would benefit the site. Also consider reducing the amount of
stormwater directed at the site. Sustaining a diverse wetland may
require additional control over upland land use and the buffer.
Shoreline Protection High The site has a resource in need of protection (with wave action, sandy
erodible soils) and is capable of providing that protection with deep-
rooted, sturdy vegetation in a wide buffer.
Maintenance of
Characteristic
Wildlife Habitat
Structure
Moderate The site provides good habitat and is relatively accessible to wildlife,
although it may be somewhat isolated on the landscape and lack the
rich vegetative community and complex structure that would support a
wider range of wildlife.
Maintenance of
Characteristic Fish
Habitat
High The site has a direct connection to spawning or nursery habitat, or may
provide refuge or shade for native species of fish. Low amounts of
sediment mean that eggs are not smothered; good water quality
supports fish health.
Maintenance of
Characteristic
Amphibian Habitat
Low Predatory fish are always present and winter habitat unsuitable as site
often freezes to the bottom. High inputs of untreated stormwater or
unfiltered runoff contribute to poor water quality and reproductive
conditions.
Aesthetics/Recreation
/Education/Cultural
Low Inaccessible, distant from population centers, little-used sites that are
not culturally significant rank poorly even if their other functions rank
high. Usually, however, even the most distant sites have a potential for
recreational use and will drop to the lowest ranking only if they are
negatively affected by human alteration.
Wetland restoration

Not
Applicable
Because restoration would affect permanent structures or infrastructure
(houses, roads, septic systems), this site is not suitable for restoration.
Wetland Sensitivity to

Vegetation and Upland Buffer
The extent of vegetation in this wetland is about 70 percent and the naturalized buffer width averages 0 feet.
Vegetated buffers around wetlands provide multiple benefits including wildlife habitat, erosion protection, and

There were no special features observed at the site at the time of this assessment
As a Depressional/Isolated wetland, this site has no discernable inlets or outlets. As such, t is valued
for its ability to store water, especially if located lower in the watershed. If it does not already have
invasive species in the plant community, its lack of connection to upstream sites with such species
may protect it.

Functional Ratings
The majority of vegetation at this site, such as it is, does not contribute to wetland function beyond water
retention and flow resistance. However, because the weighted average can "hide" smaller communities,
always check for even small patches of high-quality species.
The highest rated community was the Floodplain Forest community rated at 1. Averaging all the communities
together, the Vegetative Diversity and Integrity of this wetland is Low. A more accurate look uses a weighted
average; using this method, this site shows a Low Vegetative Diversity and Integrity.
Function Rating Comment
Vegetative Diversity Low If vegetation is present, the primary communities are compromised by
extensive invasive and/or non-native species. Ongoing maintenance will
be necessary to restore native ecologic communities, although the
presence of invasives upstream will limit the success of restoration
efforts.
Additional stormwater
treatment needs
Moderate Sediment removal would improve the ability of this site to maintain water
quality.
Maintenance of
Hydrologic Regime
Moderate There has been some degree of human alteration of the wetland
hydrology, either by outlet control or by altering immediate watershed
conditions. However, the wetland retains some of the hydrologic regime
similar to the original wetland type, either in part of the wetland or
overall to some extent. Because of the interference (whether active or
inadvertant), some characteristic vegetative communities have likely
been affected, as also have the functions of flood attenuation, water
quality and groundwater interaction.
Flood/Stormwater/Att
enuation
High The wetland provides ample flood storage and/or flood wave
attenuation. Outlet configuration is restricted (or unaltered) and
undisturbed wetland soils, and dense emergent vegetation without
channels allow the wetland to retard flood water. A high proportion of
impervious surfaces in the subwatershed, large runoff volumes, clayey
upland soils, and few wetlands present within the subwatershed may
position any wetland to be a good attenuator of excess water.
Downstream Water
Quality
Moderate This wetland has some ability and opportunity to protect downstream
resources. The ability of the wetland to remove sediment from
stormwater is determined by emergent vegetation and overland flow
characteristics. A high nutrient removal rating indicates dense
vegetation and sheet flow to maximize nutrient uptake and residence
time within the wetland. The opportunity for a wetland to protect a
valuable water resource diminishes with distance from the wetland so
wetlands with valuable waters within 0.5 miles downstream have the
greatest opportunity to provide protection, as do those that receive more
(and less-treated) runoff.
Maintenance of
Wetland Water
Quality
Moderate Wetland water quality is average. Sediment removal from incoming
water would benefit the site. Also consider reducing the amount of
stormwater directed at the site. Sustaining a diverse wetland may
require additional control over upland land use and the buffer.

060922.docx 540 GATEWAY BLVD | BURNSVILLE, MN | 55337 | 952.737.4660 | WSBENG.COM Memorandum
To: Pete Young, City of Prior Lake
From: Alison Harwood, WSB
Date: June 9, 2022
Re: Council Recommendation – Spring Lake Ridge Wetland Replacement Plan
WSB Project No. 20516
The applicant (D.R. Horton) submitted a complete Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) application
for a replacement plan for the Spring Lake Ridge development. The site is located on
approximately 84 acres southeast of CSAH 17 (Marschall Road) and CSAH 12 (Shoreline Blvd).
The project intends to construct 99 single-family lots with associated public roads, utilities, site
amenities, and stormwater ponding. The project will result in a total of 5,152 square feet
(approximately 0.1182 acre) of permanent wetland impacts to 1 wetland. The proposed impacts
will result from construction of a public roadway through the site. An additional 6,526 sq ft (0.1498
ac) of wetland will be temporarily impacted for construction of the trunk sewer line.
The application was noticed to the WCA Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) on May 17, 2022. The
TEP is advisory in nature and makes technical findings and recommendations. TEP members
include representatives from the City, Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), the Scott Soil
and Water Conservation District (SWCD), and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
(DNR). Comments were allowed until June 8, 2022. The TEP met June 1, 2022 to review the
project and proposed wetland impacts. The TEP was supportive of the replacement plan and
recommended approval.
D.R. Horton will replace wetland impacts at a 2:1 ratio by purchasing credits from an approved
wetland bank within the same Bank Service Area (BSA), which meets the replacement plan siting
requirements of WCA. The total amount of wetland replacement provided will be 10,304 square
feet (approximately 0.2365 acre).
On behalf of the City of Prior Lake, Local Government Unit for the Wetland Conservation Act, I
recommend that the City Council approves the wetland replacement plan for the Spring Lake
Ridge development. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to provide
verification of wetland credit purchase from the Board of Water and Soil Resources . A Notice of
Decision is attached for review.
