1.0 INTRODUCTION

Burns & McDonnell Michigan, Inc. (Burns & McDonnell) was retained by DTE Gas Company (DTE) to

conduct a wetland delineation for the proposed nine mile, 10-inch diameter natural gas pipeline, the 10”

Lincoln-Traverse City Loop Pipeline (Project), in Paradise Township, East Bay Township, Blair

Township, and Garfield Township Grand Traverse County, Michigan (Figure 1, Appendix A). The

pipeline will commence near the DTE Gas’ crossing of the DTE Energy’s Gas Storage & Pipeline’s 24”

gathering header and end at the existing DTE Gas Traverse City Gate Station. This Project also includes

an expansion of the existing DTE Frankfort Junction Station and upgrades to the existing DTE Traverse

City Gate Station.

The Project is being proposed as part of DTE’s overall Traverse City-Alpena Reinforcement Project

which is being completed to strengthen the existing natural gas supply sources to the Traverse City area

and ensure minimal customer disruptions during routing and emergency situations. The Project has the

potential to impact wetlands or other waterbodies that may be under the jurisdiction of the Clean Water

Act.

This wetland delineation consisted of a desktop review and field investigations. The desktop review

included a background data review to identify potential waters of the U.S. that could be affected by the

Project. Field investigations for the Project were conducted May 28 through May 31 and July 16 through

17, 2019 to identify the location and extent of waters/wetlands that would be affected by the Project

(Survey Area). The Survey Area, which varied in width, averaged 175 feet wide and encompassed

approximately 226 acres. The Survey Area also included additional temporary workspaces, rail and road

crossings, access roads, and laydown yards. The proposed construction right-of-way is 75-feet wide and is

wholly contained within the Survey Area. One portion of the Survey Area was not surveyed due to a

reroute after initial surveys were completed. This report describes the methods and results of the wetland

delineation.

2.0 METHODS

The following sections summarize the methods used to complete the desktop review of existing data and

to conduct the field investigation within the Survey Area.

2.1.1 Existing Data Review Burns & McDonnell reviewed existing background information for the Project prior to conducting the

field investigations. Information reviewed included the following:

• U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic map (Lake Ann, Grawn, Kingsley, and

Mayfield quadrangles, 1985, Jacks Landing, and Walton Quadrangles, 1986)

• National Hydrography Dataset (NHD)

• U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map

• Michigan Resource Inventory System (MIRIS) map

• Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance rate map

• U.S. Department of Agricultural (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil

Survey for Grand Traverse County

• ESRI World Imagery Map Service aerial photography

These data provide indications of the potential for jurisdictional waters/wetlands to exist within the

Survey Area. Data from these sources were also overlaid on Project maps (Appendix A) to assist the

wetland scientists with the field investigations.

2.1.2 Wetland Delineation Burns & McDonnell wetland scientists completed the wetland delineation according to methods described

in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (1987 Manual) and the

2012 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Northcentral and

Northeast (Version 2.0) (Regional Supplement). Sample plots were established at multiple locations, and

Wetland Determination Data Forms from the Regional Supplement were completed to characterize

vegetation, soil, and hydrologic indicators at each of these sample plots. Wetland Determination Data

Forms are provided in Appendix B. Plant identification and nomenclature are based on the National

Wetland Plant List (Lichvar et al. 2016). The National Wetland Plant List assigns a wetland indicator

status for plant species to characterize the likelihood for it to occur in a wetland. Locations of sample

plots and other identified features were surveyed using a sub-meter accurate Global Positioning System

(GPS) unit. Photographs taken at each sample plot and stream are included in Appendix C.

Page 8: Wetland Delineation Report

Streams were identified based on the presence of a defined bed and bank and an ordinary high water mark

(OHWM). Stream types were determined by observing the depth of the stream channel from the OHWM

and the depth of water observed in the channel. Streams with substantial water flow at the time of the site

visit were classified as perennial. Streams with a limited depth from the OHWM and a limited flow were

classified as intermittent. Streams with a defined bed and bank but no water present likely flow only

during and following rain events and were classified as ephemeral.

3.0 RESULTS

The following sections summarize results of the desktop evaluation and field investigations.

3.1 Existing Data Review The USGS topographic quadrangle maps depict the site as an area that is somewhat flat with several steep

slopes present throughout the Survey Area (Figure 2, Appendix A). Several unnamed NHD mapped

streams are located throughout the Survey Area. The southern portion of the Survey Area drains into the

Boardman River, a perennial stream.

Portions of the Project are located within the FEMA floodplain of the Boardman River (Figure 3,

Appendix A). The USFWS NWI and MIRIS data identify five wetlands within the Survey Area (Figure 3,

Appendix A). NWI and MIRIS wetlands include four palustrine forested wetlands (PFO4B) and one

palustrine scrub shrub (PSS1) wetlands. The NWI and MIRIS identified wetlands are located throughout

the Survey Area.

The NRCS soil data indicate that there are 45 soil map units within the Survey Area (Figure 4, Appendix

A). Six of these soil map units are included on the national hydric soil list, which identifies soils that are

typically found in wetlands. These are:

Non-hydric soils within the Survey Area include:

• Croswell loamy sands, 0-2 % slopes, overwash (CoA) • Emmet sandy loam, 6-12 % slopes (EyC) • Emmet sandy loam, 6-12 % slopes, moderately eroded (EyC2) • Emmet sandy loam, 12-18 % slopes (EyD) • Emmet sandy loam, 18-25 % slopes (EyE) • Emmet sandy loam, 25-45 % slopes (EyF) • Guelph-Nester loams, 0-2 % slopes (GxA) • Guelph-Nester loams, 2-6 % slopes, moderately eroded (GxB2) • Guelph-Nester loams, 6-12 % slopes, moderately eroded (GxC2) • Guelph-Nester loams, 12-18 % slopes, moderately eroded

3.2 Wetland Delineation Burns & McDonnell wetland scientists conducted the field investigations of the Survey Area on May 28

through May 31 and July 16 through July 17, 2019. The Survey Area was primarily composed of forest

and open fields. Vegetation in wetlands included species such as northern white cedar (Thuja

occidentalis), quacking aspen (Populus tremuloides), pussy willow (Salix discolor), speckled alder (Alnus

incana), field horsetail (Equisetum arvense), and red raspberry (Rubus ideaus). Vegetation in uplands

included species such as sugar maple (Acer saccharum), black cherry (Prunus serotina), red maple (Acer

rubrum), autumn olive (Eleagnus umbellata), eastern bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), and trout lily

(Erythronium americanum).

Page 11: Wetland Delineation Report

Typical upland soils were light brown (10YR 3/3) to dark brown (10YR 3/2) and sandy in texture.

Typical wetland soils were characteristic of northern peatland wetlands, very black in color (2.5Y 2.5/1)

or very light brown (10YR 6/1) and mucky peat or sandy in texture. Common indicators of hydrology

included surface water, a high water table, saturation, hydrogen sulfide odor, a concave geomorphic

position, and a positive FAC-Neutral test. A total of 20 wetlands and 10 streams were identified during

the delineation. The following sections describe the types and quantities of the delineated features.

3.2.1 Wetlands A total of 20 wetlands were delineated within the Survey Area covering a total of 15.12 acres (Figure 5,

Appendix A). Wetland types delineated consisted of palustrine emergent (PEM), palustrine scrub shrub

(PSS), and palustrine forested (PFO). Many of the wetlands were part of a multi type wetland complex.

A summary of all wetlands identified during the field investigations, the wetland type, wetland

community type, and total area delineated is included in Table 3-1 below, and a description of delineated

wetland community is provided in the following sections.

3.2.1.1 PEM Wetlands A total of 3.66 acres of PEM wetlands were delineated, many of which were located in depressional areas

or along streams, and part of complexes that also contained PFO and PSS wetlands. Common vegetation

in PEM wetlands included reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), red raspberry, sensitive fern

(Onoclea sensibilis), and field horsetail. The PEM wetlands were commonly characterized as high-quality

northern wet meadows. This wetland community type is considered high quality due to the high level of

plant diversity and abundance in this area. Hydric soil was indicated by the presence of histosol, hydrogen

sulfide odor, sandy redox, and redox dark surfaces. Wetland hydrology was indicated by the presence of

surface water, high water table, saturation, hydrogen sulfide odor, water stained leaves, geomorphic

position, and a positive FAC-Neutral test.

3.2.1.2 PSS Wetlands A total of 0.14 acres of PSS wetlands were delineated, many of which were located along streams and

also part of a wetland complex containing PFO or PEM wetlands. Common vegetation in PSS wetlands

included sandbar willow (Salix interior), quacking aspen, gray dogwood (Cornus racemosa), fox sedge

(Carex vulpinoidea), and lance-leaf aster (Symphyotrichum lanceolatum). The PSS wetlands were

commonly characterized as high-quality northern shrub thickets. This wetland community type is

considered high quality due to the high level of plant diversity and abundance in this area. Hydric soil was

indicated by the presence of histosol, hydrogen sulfide odor, and redox dark surfaces. Wetland hydrology

was indicated by the presence of surface water, high water table, saturation, hydrogen sulfide odor, water

stained leaves, oxidized rhizospheres on living roots, geomorphic position, and a positive FAC-Neutral

test.

3.2.1.3 PFO Wetlands A total of 11.32 acres of PFO wetlands were delineated, many of which were located along streams and

part of a wetland complex comprised of multiple wetland types. Common vegetation in PFO wetlands

included quacking aspen, northern white cedar, swamp cottonwood (Populus heterophylla), reed canary

grass, and New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angilae). The PFO wetlands were commonly

characterized high-quality rich conifer swamps and floodplain forests. These wetlands are considered

high quality due to their unique plant communities and abundance in this area. Hydric soil was indicated

by histosol, hydrogen sulfide odor, sandy redox, and redox dark surfaces. Wetland hydrology was

indicated by the presence of surface water, high water table, saturation, hydrogen sulfide odor, oxidized

rhizospheres on living roots, water-stained leaves, geomorphic position, and a positive FAC-Neutral test.

3.2.2 Streams A total of 10 streams were delineated within the Survey Area covering a total of 4,250 linear feet. Types

of streams delineated include ephemeral, intermittent, and perennial. A summary of the types of streams

and the total length of each type delineated is included in Table 3-2 below, and a description of each flow

regime is provided in the following sections.

3.2.2.1 Ephemeral Streams A total of three ephemeral streams were delineated, totaling approximately 486 linear feet within the

Survey Area. Ephemeral streams were characterized by a defined bed and bank but had limited or no flow

during the delineation. Ephemeral streams typically carry water only during and after precipitation events.

The bankfull width of ephemeral streams were approximately one foot wide on average when measured

from the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). Riffles and runs were generally not present in ephemeral

streams, and they generally contained less than 5 inches of water. Substrates frequently consisted of sand,

gravel, and cobble. These streams were often located in depressional areas within PFO or PEM wetlands,

and/or drained into intermittent or perennial streams.

3.2.2.2 Intermittent Streams A total of six intermittent streams were delineated, totaling approximately 3,350 feet within the Survey

Area. Intermittent streams were characterized by a defined bed and bank that have flowing water during

periods of the year when upstream waters are flowing. The bankfull widths of intermittent streams were

approximately two foot wide on average when measured from the OHWM. Riffles and runs were

occasionally observed, and substrates frequently consisted of sand, gravel, and cobble. Intermittent

streams generally contained between five and twelve inches of water.

3.2.2.3 Perennial Streams One perennial stream, the Boardman River, was delineated totaling approximately 415 linear feet within

the Survey Area. The Boardman River was characterized by a defined bed and bank with substantial flow

throughout most of the year. Riffles and runs were observed throughout the Boardman River. The

substrate of the Boardman River consisted of cobble, gravel, sand, silt, and some boulders.

4.0 SUMMARY

Burns & McDonnell conducted a wetland delineation to identify potentially jurisdictional waters and

wetlands in the Survey Area May 28 through May 31 and July 16 through July 17, 2019. Burns &

McDonnell identified a total of 20 wetlands (15.12 acres), the majority of which are classified as forested

wetlands (11.32 acres). Other types of delineated wetlands include PEM and PSS. A total of ten streams,

4,250 linear feet, were delineated. The majority of streams were intermittent (3,350 linear feet) with one

perennial stream, the Boardman River, totaling 415 linear feet, also delineated. Three ephemeral streams

were also delineated.

This delineation this report represents the professional opinion of potentially jurisdictional wetlands and

waterbodies within the Survey Area. To receive an official notice of the location and extent of waters of

the U.S. within the Survey Area, this report should be submitted to the USACE and the Michigan

Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) to request a jurisdictional determination.

Additionally, permanently or temporarily impacting any of the identified wetlands or waterbodies will

require coordination with the EGLE and/or the Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District.
