X Date: Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014 Page 5 of 12 Project Name and/or Number: Public Storage-Oak Park Heights, MN Attachment A Request for Delineation Review, Wetland Type Determination, or Jurisdictional Determination By submission of the enclosed wetland delineation report, I am requesting that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,St. Paul District (Corps) and/or the Wetland Conservation Act Local Government Unit(LGU) provide me with the following(check all that apply): ® Wetland Type Confirmation ® Delineation 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.). n 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 AiD 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 Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014 Page 6 of 12 Westwood WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT Public Storage- Oak Park Heights, MN Stillwater Township & Oak Park Heights, Minnesota November 09,..,,,2,i---0,.-,-:,: 017 f , L g .► 'fir '` t4$ 1 ,, ` t i 1 ' ii - 'tA,.i.l,t ...t. . , .it.. -. ...).„.„ ,.., „.„:,,. ., ,..

Washington Conservation District is the Local Governmental Unit (LGU)that administers the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) in Stillwater Township and the City of Oak Park Heights is the LGU within the City. This delineation report provides the required documentation for wetland boundary determinations in conformance with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, Waterways Experiment Station, 1987) and the Regional Supplement to the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual: Northcentral and Northeast Region (US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, 2012). The purpose of this report is for site planning reasons. 2.o SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The approximately 11.2-acre Site is located among four parcels (0602920210001, 0602920210004, 0602920210005, and 0602920210006) in Township 29N, Range 20W, Section 6 (Exhibit 1). The Site is located south of Highway 36 and west of Memorial Avenue North. The Site is bounded by vacant land, wetlands, industrial, and commercial property.The Site is comprised of woodland and wetlands in the back of the property, with paved parking, storage buildings, and mowed lawn over most of the front portion of the Site. 3.o WETLAND DELINEATION METHODOLOGY 3.1 Mapping Prior to delineating wetland boundaries in the field, Westwood reviewed the National Wetlands Inventory(NWI) mapping(Exhibit 2), the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (Exhibit 2), and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) Public Waters and Wetlands Inventory (PWI) (Exhibit 2), and the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS)Soil Survey Geographic database (SSURG02)for Washington County(Exhibit 3). Elevation mapping was completed using LiDAR contours from the MnTOPO web service (Exhibit 4). 3.2 Offsite Hydrology Review Westwood reviewed historical aerial photography to assess site conditions for potential wetlands. Formal Offsite hydrology methods were not employed due to the lack of annual row crops on the site which is supported by the July 1st, 2016 Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR)/USACE-accepted protocol for conducting off-site wetland determinations, Guidance for Offsite Hydrology/Wetland Determinations. 3.3 Field Work A Westwood Environmental Scientist, using the level two routine determination methods set forth in the USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual and the associated Regional Supplement to 1 Wetland Delineation Report— Public Storage-Oak Park Heights, 11/09/2017 MN the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual: Northcentral and Northeast Region, conducted the field delineation. Soils, vegetation, and hydrology data were recorded on data forms and photographs of the delineated water features were taken for documentation. Wetlands were classified according to Wetlands of the United States (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Circular 39; Shaw and Fredine; 1971) and Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (FWS/OBS Publication 79/31; Cowardin et. al. 1979). Common names and scientific names for vegetation identified in this report and on the attached data forms generally correspond with the nomenclature used in the 2016 National Wetland Plant List (Lichvar 2016). Wetland boundaries were demarcated in the field with pink marker flags, and located using a Trimble GPS unit capable of sub-meter accuracy. Climatic conditions at the time were generally favorable for the delineation. According to NOAA weather station: STILLWATER 2SW, October was unseasonably warm prior to the delineation with only two lows recorded at 32 degrees and the rest were warmer(mostly 40's). Four days prior to the delineation, the highs reached 77 degrees. 4.o RESULTS 4.1 Mapping Water resource mapping is included as Exhibit 2. NWI mapping indicated one wetland area across the Site, categorized as PABGx. NHD mapping indicated no flowlines or water bodies. PWI mapping indicates no areas of public waters are within the Site. The County NRCS SSURGO2 indicates that the soils listed in Table 4.1 are mapped within the Site (Exhibit 3). Based on the NRCS Web Soil Survey Soil Report, "Hydric Soils List", hydric soils are mapped within the Site. Freeon silt loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes (264) is Predominantly Non- hydric which includes hydric soil components (Capitola). Other soils within the site are classified as Non-hydric. Table 4.1. Soil Summary Table* Symbols Map Unit Name' Hydric Soil Class Rating 49 Antigo silt loam,0 to 2 percent slopes Non-hydric 0 264 Freeon silt loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes Predominantly Non-hydric 3 15313 Santiago silt loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes Non-hydric 0 342C Kingsley sandy loam,6 to 12 percent slopes Non-hydric 0 49D Antigo silt loam, 15 to 35 percent slopes Non-hydric 0 *Located within the delineated portion of the site '—Soils determined using GIS geospatial query clipping the NRCS Soil Survey Geographic(SSURG02)spatial data by Project boundaries. —As indicated in the SSURGO2 database. Where percentages are small(e.g.<15%)the hydric soil is likely an inclusion that is not recognized in the map unit name. The absence of a value does not necessarily indicate the absence of hydric soils,but that the relative percentages of included minor soils have not been determined. 2 Wetland Delineation Report— Public Storage-Oak Park Heights, 11/09/2017 MN The LiDAR contours (Exhibit 4) show most the Site as relatively flat with areas sloping down in the back of the site. Flat basin areas correspond to the NWI wetlands and open water areas depicted from aerial photography. The lower Elevation ranged from 946 feet mean sea level (msl)to 928 feet msl. 4.2 Antecedent Precipitation Antecedent precipitation was Dry for the three-month period prior to the wetland delineation. Table 4.2 constitutes the Precipitation Documentation Worksheet from the Minnesota Climatology Working Group.

Data collected for the delineated wetlands are provided on data forms included in Appendix A. Dominant plant species listed for sample plots do not necessarily correspond to the dominant plant species for the entire wetland. Photographs of delineated wetlands are included in Appendix B. Summary descriptions of wetlands are provided in Table 4.3 below. The boundaries of all the wetlands followed distinct changes in topography and plant communities between the upland and wetland sample locations. Generally, the topography near the boundaries was abrupt transitioning from a concave depression to an upland convex or linear slope. Due to the dry site conditions, primary hydrology indicators were generally not observed at all sample points. 3 Wetland Delineation Report— Public Storage-Oak Park Heights, 11/09/2017 MN The small linear wetland WBO2 appears to have past-excavation due to the steep side slopes. Wetland WBO1 transitioned from cattails and reed canary grass to upland grasses and weedy species such as common burdock. Table 4.3.

Westwood requests that the designated LGU and the USACE review and process this report and the submitted Joint Application Form for the Public Storage- Oak Park Heights, MN Site. Please consider this report a formal Wetland Boundary and Type Determination request pursuant to Minn. Rules 8420.0405 and an Approved Jurisdictional Determination request. 6.o CERTIFICATION I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the wetland delineation completed for this Site is consistent with current wetland delineation practices and guidelines. I have the specific qualifications, education, training, and experience to complete wetland delineations and determinations in accordance with federal and state requirements.
