Lino Lakes Delineation Wetland Delineation Report GES Project No. 2005.150 December 22, 2005 Page 3 photos or the U.S.G.S. topographic map, we are inclined to determine the wetland is isolated. However, since the entire wetland is sometimes not assessed, it is possible that inlets and /or outlets do exist and that the wetland has a surface connection to a federal "navigable" water and, thus, falls within the jurisdiction of Section 404. Therefore, a determination by GES of whether a particular wetland is isolated or not should not be considered a final determination with regard to Corps jurisdiction. A copy of this report should be submitted to the Corps of Engineers, the Local Government Unit administering the Wetland Conservation Act and, if DNR- protected waters are present on the site, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. It is also possible that the city or watershed district (if applicable) has wetland ordinances which must be complied with. Supplying these reports will serve the dual purpose of determining which agencies have jurisdiction and beginning the process of obtaining concurrence with the delineated wetland boundaries. Prior to construction that could affect any of the on -site wetlands, any necessary permits should first be obtained. Additional information regarding the wetland's vegetation, soils and hydrology is included in Appendix A. Ground photos of the site and wetland are included in Figures 7 and 8. The information contained herein represents the findings of GES during wetland delineation activities conducted on November 4, 2005, at the referenced site.
