Stearns County is the Local Governmental Unit (LGU) that administers the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) in this area. 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: Midwest Region (US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, 2010). The Joint Application Form for Activities Affecting Water Resources in Minnesota is included in Appendix A. 2.0 SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The approximately 124.66-acre Site is located in St. Joseph Township, Stearns County, Minnesota (Township 124N, Range 29W, Section 8; parcel number: 31-20691-0002) (Exhibit 1). The Site is located adjacent to and north of County Road 51 and Leaf road, adjacent to and east of Interstate Freeway 94. Single-family homes, agricultural land, wetlands and woodland border the Project to the north, south, west and west across I-94. A farmstead is located in the southern portion of the property and row crop agriculture, old pasture and wetlands occupy the areas north, south, east and west of the farmstead. The Watab River bisects the southern portion of the site, flowing east. Westwood surveyed a subsection of the overall Property for wetlands and water features. This subsection is identified in Exhibit 1 as Portion of Property to be Delineated and occupies 39.4 acres of the property. 3.0 WETLAND DELINEATION AND AERIAL PHOTO REVIEW METHODOLOGY 3.1Mapping 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 (SSURGO2) for Stearns County (Exhibit 3). A full aerial photo review was conducted for the site. In reviewing the aerial imagery and the Lidar topographic mapping, one depressional area was identified in a cropped area, two suspect 1 Wetland Delineation ReportWalzProperty Solar03/03/2017 Project areas on sideslopes and two toe of slope areas were identified in cropped areas. Historical aerial photography was reviewed for these areas. 3.2Field Work On February 28, 2017, Westwood delineated four wetlands using a level two routine determination method set forth in the USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual and the supplemental methods set forth in the Regional Supplement to the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual: Midwest Region. Soils, vegetation, and hydrology data were recorded on data forms and are included in Appendix B of this report. Photographs of the delineated water features are include in Appendix C. 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 located using a Trimble GPS unit capable of sub- meter accuracy. Westwood also identified the boundary and ordinary high water (OHW) level for one watercourses. 4.0 RESULTS 4.1Mapping Water resource mapping is included as Exhibit 2. Water Resource mapping indicated several mapped water features across the delineated portion of site. NHD mapping indicated one channelized and named watercourse (Watab River) transecting the southern portion of the site flowing east. PWI mapping indicate the Watab River transecting the southern portion of the site flowing east. NWI mapping indicates 2 wetlands mapped on the site, one PEMC wetland along the northern property line and one RUBGx wetland mapped along the course of the Watab River in the southern portion of the site. The County NRCS SSURGO2 indicates that the soils listed in Table 4.1.1 are mapped within the Site (Exhibit 3). Based on the NRCS Web Soil Survey Hydric Rating, Predominately hydric soil units are mapped within the Site. Dassel sandy loam is 90% hydric. In addition, Prebesh-Nokay Complex is a partially hydric soil unit at 55%. Other soils within the site are classified as predominately non-hydric and non-hydric. 2 Wetland Delineation ReportWalzProperty Solar03/03/2017 Project Table 4.1.1.

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. A full aerial photo review was conducted for the site. In reviewing the aerial imagery and the Lidar topographic mapping, one depressional area was identified in a cropped area, two suspect areas on sideslopes and two toe of slope areas were identified in cropped areas. Historical aerial photography was reviewed for these areas. These Areas are identified on Exhibit 4,and the completed review table is included in Appendix D. A summary of the findings is included below in Table 4.1.2. Table 4.1.2.

Amount Due: $_______________ Receipt #: __________________________ October 21, 2015 Joint Application Form for Activities Affecting Water Resources in Minnesota This joint application form is the accepted means for initiating review of proposals that may affect a water resource (wetland, tributary, lake, etc.) in the State of Minnesota under state and federal regulatory programs. Applicants for Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Public Waters permits MUST use the MPARS online permitting system for submitting applications to the DNR. Applicants can use the information entered into MPARS to substitute for completing parts of this joint application form (see the paragraph on MPARS at the end of the joint application form instructions for additional information). This form is only applicable to the water resource aspects of proposed projects under state and federal regulatory programs; other local applications and approvals may be required. Depending on the nature of the project and the location and type of water resources impacted, multiple authorizations may be required as different regulatory programs have different types of jurisdiction over different types of resources. Regulatory Review Structure Federal The St. Paul District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is the federal agency that regulates discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States (wetlands, tributaries, lakes, etc.) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and regulates work in navigable waters under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. Applications are assigned to Corps project managers who are responsible for implementing the Corps regulatory program within a particular geographic area. State There are three state regulatory programs that regulate activities affecting water resources. The Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) regulates most activities affecting wetlands. It is administered by local government units (LGUs) which can be counties, townships, cities, watershed districts, watershed management organizations or state agencies (on state-owned land). The Minnesota DNR Division of Ecological and Water Resources issues permits for work in specially-designated public waters via the Public Waters Work Permit Program (DNR Public Waters Permits). The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act certifies that discharges of dredged or fill material authorized by a federal permit or license comply with state water quality standards. One or more of these regulatory programs may be applicable to any one project. Required Information Prior to submitting an application, applicants are strongly encouraged to seek input from the Corps Project Manager and LGU staff to identify regulatory issues and required application materials for their proposed project. Project proponents can request a pre- application consultation with the Corps and LGU to discuss their proposed project by providing the information required in Sections 1 through 5 of this joint application form to facilitate a meaningful discussion about their project. Many LGUs provide a venue (such as regularly scheduled technical evaluation panel meetings) for potential applicants to discuss their projects with multiple agencies prior to submitting an application. Contact information is provided below. The following bullets outline the information generally required for several common types of determinations/authorizations. For delineation approvals and/or jurisdictional determinations, submit Parts 1, 2 and 5, and Attachment A. For activities involving CWA/WCA exemptions, WCA no-loss determinations, and activities not requiring mitigation, submit Parts 1 through 5, and Attachment B. For activities requiring compensatory mitigation/replacement plan, submit Parts 1 thru 5, and Attachments C and D. For local road authority activities that qualify for the states local road wetland replacement program, submit Parts 1 through 5, and Attachments C, D (if applicable), and E to both the Corps and the LGU. Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014Page 1 of 11 Submission Instructions Send the completed joint application form and all required attachments to: U.S Army Corps of Engineers.Applications may be sent directly to the appropriate Corps Office. For a current listing of areas of responsibilities and contact information, visit the St. Paul Districts website at: http://www.mvp.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory.aspx and select Minnesota from the contact Information box. Alternatively, applications may be sent directly to the St. Paul District Headquarters and the Corps will forward them to the appropriate field office. Section 401 Water Quality Certification: Applicants do not need to submit the joint application form to the MPCA unless specifically requested. The MPCA will request a copy of the completed joint application form directly from an applicant when they determine an individual 401 water quality certification is required for a proposed project. Wetland Conservation Act Local Government Unit: Send to the appropriate Local Government Unit. If necessary, contact your county Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) office or visit the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) web site (www.bwsr.state.mn.us) to determine the appropriate LGU. DNR Public Waters Permitting: In 2014 the DNR will begin using the Minnesota DNR Permitting and Reporting System (MPARS) for submission of Public Waters permit applications (https://webapps11.dnr.state.mn.us/mpars/public/authentication/login). Applicants for Public Waters permits MUST use the MPARS online permitting system for submitting applications to the DNR. To avoid duplication and to streamline the application process among the various resource agencies, applicants can use the information entered into MPARS to substitute for completing parts of this joint application form. The MPARS print/save function will provide the applicant with a copy of the Public Waters permit application which, at a minimum, will satisfy Parts one and two of this joint application. For certain types of activities, the MPARS application may also provide all of the necessary information required under Parts three and four of the joint application. However, it is the responsibility of the Applicant to make sure that the joint application contains all of the required information, including identification of all aquatic resources impacted by the project (see Part four of the joint application). After confirming that the MPARS application contains all of the required information in Parts one and two the Applicant may attach a copy to the joint application and fill in any missing information in the remainder of the joint application.

For example, a project with a temporary access fill that would be removed after 220 days would be entered T (220). 2 Impacts 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). 3 This is generally only applicable if you are applying for a de minimis exemption under MN Rules 8420.0420 Subp. 8, otherwise enter N/A. 4 rd Use Wetland Plants and Plant Community Types of Minnesota and Wisconsin 3 Ed. as modified in MN Rules 8420.0405 Subp. 2. 5 Refer to Major Watershed and Bank Service Area maps in MN Rules 8420.0522 Subp. 7.

Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014Page 4 of 11 Project Name and/or Number: Walz Property 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.). 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 AJD 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 2014Page 5 of 11 Appendix B Data Sheets Walz Property St. Joseph Township, Stearns County, Minnesota 2/28/2017 7:00:00 PM WALZ SITESTEARNS IPS WB-01-WET MN MATTHEW C VOLLBRECHT PWS#2115 Sec8T124NR29W DepressionLC 0 -
