Stantec Consulting Services Inc. ® Stantec 2080 Wooddale Drive Suite 100, Woodbury MN 55125-2920 April 5, 2022 Attention: Mr. Don Peterson, Director of Public Works / Parks and Recreation City of Mounds View Reference: Proposal for Wetland Delineation Services — Ardan Area Property Mounds View, Minnesota Dear Mr. Peterson Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) is pleased to present this proposal for wetland delineation services for an approximately 24.9-acre area in Mounds View, Minnesota, hereafter referred to as the Ardan Area Property. The project area consists of 14 parcels located between Long Lake Road and State Highway 10, south of Ardan Park. Please see the following Scope of Work, Schedule, and Cost Estimate for details Scope of Work Task 1 - Offslte Review and Wetland Determination For portions of the project area that are within active hay land/cropland, Stantec will perform an offsite wetland determination. Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and ACOE standard off -site methodology for identifying wetlands on agricultural land will be followed. This methodology requires the review of aerial photographs paired with antecedent precipitation data to determine wetness signatures and wetland boundaries. Stantec will also review the National Wetlands Inventory, National Hydrology Database, county soil survey data (concerning hydric soils), and LiDAR data to assess potential wetland areas. Task 2 - Field Wetland Delineation Stantec will conduct a wetland investigation on your site using the on -site methodology set forth in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (1987 Manual) and the 2010 COE Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Northcentral and Northeast Regional Supplement. Potential wetland areas will be examined per the routine methodology and wetland boundaries will be determined through analysis of the vegetation, soils, and hydrology. If wetlands are identified, wetland boundaries within the project area will be marked with labelled neon pin flags approximately every 50-100 feet. If wetland complexes are observed, wetland community type boundaries will be differentiated throughout the project area and displayed in the wetland delineation report figures. The wetland boundaries will be recorded with an iPad linked to a handheld GPS unit with submeter accuracy. Any other non -wetland water resources such as streams and ditches will also be identified based on their Ordinary High -Water Marks (OHWM) and located via GPS. Data will be collected for these resources for inclusion in the Wetland Delineation Report. Design with community in mind
