RE: PRELIMINARY WETLAND DETERMINATION. PROPOSED PLATTING
The south 330 feet of the SE 1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 35, T 121 N, R 24 W, City of
Albertville, Wright County, Minnesota. Part of the Sylvester T. Kolles property.
WET Project No. 9605
Mr. Holthaus:
In accordance with your request I have prepared this letter and the attached computer scanned
aerial photograph to assist you in preparing a preliminary site plan for residential development of
the above referenced property.
The wetland boundaries shown on the aerial photograph are preliminary and are based on
research of the soil survey for Wright County, a brief site viewing, a short visit with Mr. Kolles,
and interpretation of the aerial photograph. The boundaries have not been field delineated at
this time. We have placed this project on our schedule for field delineation early in the 1996
growing season as you directed.
During the site visit I was able to determine that the area in the extreme southeast corner of the
10 acre site is very probably a jurisdictional wetland, although there appears to be at least partial
drainage of the basin at this time. The additional areas, labeled with a '?', have the potential to
be jurisdictional wetland based on the topography of the area and the mapped soil type. During
the brief visit, Mr. Kolles indicated that there is a drain tile located along the south line of the
property. I will try to determine the effectiveness of the drainage this tile provides to the
questionable areas during our on-site field delineation in the spring.
The remainder of the 10 acre site appears to be upland at this time.
You are cautioned that the information presented in this letter and on the scanned aerial is
preliminary in nature and should be used only for preliminary planning purposes. The site was
covered with 6" to 24" of snow during my visit making an accurate delineation impossible without
great expense. If during the development of the site it is necessary to fill or drain a jurisdictional
wetland permits will be required form both Federal and State agencies. Any activity within a
jurisdictional wetland can require that you mitigate or restore the disturbance caused by the
activity either specifically for the project or through the use of State Wetland Bank credits
purchased from a wetland bank owner.
