EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
V3 Companies, Ltd. (V3) performed a natural resource assessment (NRA) and wetland delineation for
a proposed development situated at 4511 W 99th Street in Carmel, Hamilton County, Indiana (SITE) on
30 September 2020.
V3 reached the following conclusions based on review of available and reasonably ascertainable
federal, state, and local resources, and a SITE inspection conducted on the date referenced above.
Two palustrine, forested (PFO) wetland, Wetlands A and B, was identified on-SITE. Both
wetlands did not appear to exhibit a connection to a “Waters of the U.S.”, and would likely be
considered an isolated “Waters of the State” subject to regulation by IDEM alone.
An official species list obtained from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information
Planning and Consultation (IPaC) website confirmed that the SITE is within the range of the
federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) and the federally
endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis). V3 observed potential bat habitat trees on-SITE at the
time of the SITE reconnaissance. If the proposed project includes removing these trees, it is
recommended that they be removed between 15 October and 31 March to avoid incidental
harming of these species if federal funding or permitting is involved. Correspondence with the
Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) indicated seven special-status species or
significant areas are within a 0.50-mile radius of the SITE.
Wetlands A and B would likely be regulated by the IDEM alone, through the State Isolated Wetland
Program. The type of permit required will depend on the extent of the proposed impacts and the class
of the wetlands as verified by the IDEM. Mitigation for impacts to isolated, forested wetlands would be
at a ratio of 3:1 to 2:1, depending on the quality of the wetlands. IDEM may grant an exemption from
mitigation requirements for isolated wetland impacts if specific conditions are met such as 0.25 acre
or less of Class II wetlands completely on-SITE.
Blanchard’s Cricket Frog (Acris blanchardi),1 Sedge Wren (Cistothorus platensis), Least Bittern
(Ixobrychus exilis), King Rail (Rallus elegans), and Virginia Rail’s (Rallus limicola)2 primary habitat
includes open water, emergent and forested wetlands, and forested edges. The Eastern Red Bat’s
(Lasiurus borealis) primary habitat includes forests, forest edges, and hedgerows.3 The American
Badger’s (Taxidea taxus) primary habitat includes plains and prairies, farmland, and edges of woods.4
Favorable habitat for all these species is located on-SITE, therefore, there is a possible occurrence of
these species on-SITE.
The Browning Marsh Preserve is located adjacent to the SITE and is owned by Central Indiana Land
Trust, Inc. According to the correspondence with IDNR, all precautions should be taken to prevent
impacts to the systems and features within the preserve. No dewatering of the preserve or additional
water placed upon it. Best Management Practices must be practiced to prevent impacts to the
preserve. Central Indiana Land Trust, Inc must be contacted prior to any disturbances to adjacent land
of the Browning Marsh Preserve.

A review of the digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) data from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) Flood Map Service Center indicated that the SITE is not situated within the 100-year
floodplain.
If proposed development activities will disturb one or more acres of land, then a Rule 5 Stormwater
Run-off Permit may be required.
If development activities are proposed to impact any of these aquatic features, V3 recommends that
the final report and associated figures be submitted to USACE for an approved jurisdictional
determination (AJD).

CHAPTER 2 JURISDICTIONAL RESOURCES
2.1 U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
Through the Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1972, Section 404, USACE maintains authority over "Waters of
the U.S." as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (33 CFR 328.3). The limit of jurisdiction described
in 33 CFR 328.4 for non-tidal waters is the "ordinary high water mark" (OHWM) if no adjacent wetlands
are present. If wetlands are present, the limit of jurisdiction applies to the boundary of the adjacent
wetland. Any wetland that has a hydrological connection to a “Waters of the U.S.” is also included.
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403) also serves as a base of federal
authority over certain waters. Definitions and permitting requirements for jurisdictional waters under
Section 10 can be found in 33 CFR Parts 322 and 329.
A Section 404 permit must be obtained from USACE before any fill or dredging activities are conducted
within the boundary of a “Water of the U.S.” including federal jurisdictional wetlands. USACE uses three
(3) types of permits: nationwide permits, regional general permits for Indiana, and individual permits.
Furthermore, a Section 401 WQC must be filed with IDEM concurrently with the Section 404 permit(s).
Each permit is discussed in the following paragraphs.
Nationwide Permits have been developed for projects that meet a specific criterion and are
deemed to have minimal impacts to the aquatic environment. There are 52 Nationwide Permits
created to streamline the permit process for smaller, repetitive, low impact projects including, but
not limited to Aids to Navigation, Fish and Wildlife Harvesting, Outfall Structures and Maintenance,
Utility Line Activities, Stream and Wetland Restoration, Maintenance Dredging of Existing Basins,
Agriculture Activities, and Mining Activities.
Regional General Permits (RGP) for Indiana authorizes proposed impacts associated with any
construction activities including agriculture and mining activities. Wetland impacts must be less
than one (1) acre to qualify for this type of permit.
RGP Notification to IDEM may be used for impacts that are less than 0.1 acre of wetland or 300
linear feet (lf) of stream, and are deemed to have minimal impacts to the aquatic environment.
Individual Permits (IP) are required for proposed wetland impacts of one acre and greater. The
review process for this type of permit may take up to one year due to the higher level of scrutiny
by the regulatory agencies.
The Louisville District of USACE developed mitigation guidelines in September 2004 for the federal
jurisdictional wetlands and “Waters of the U.S.” The guidelines require stream and wetland
characterizations for all drainage features and wetlands proposed to be impacted. The document
required for permitting must contain extensive detail of the proposed impact sites, the proposed
mitigation sites, and information regarding the construction and monitoring of the mitigation sites.
Impacts to USACE jurisdictional wetlands or other “Waters of the U.S.” will require in-kind mitigation.
The 2008 Compensatory Mitigation Rule states three mechanisms for mitigation and order of
preference: mitigation banks, in-lieu fee programs, and permittee-responsible mitigation. The typical
mitigation ratios for impacts to federally jurisdictional wetlands and other “Waters of the U.S.” are as
follows:
4511 W 99TH STREET

Table 1: Typical Mitigation Ratios for Jurisdictional Wetlands
Impact Type Replacement
Emergent Wetland 2:1 Acres
Scrub-Shrub Wetland 3:1 Acres
Forested Wetland 4:1 Acres
Stream/Drainage Ways 1:1 Linear feet
Open Water 1:1 Acres
2.1.1 Waters of the U.S.
On 21 April 2020, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the USACE published the
Navigable Waters Protection Rule (Step Two),5 which defines “Waters of the U.S.” as:
The territorial seas, and waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be
susceptible to use in interstate or foreign commerce, including waters which are subject to the ebb
and flow of the tide; tributaries; lakes and ponds, and impoundments of jurisdictional waters; and
adjacent wetlands.6
“Territorial seas and waters,” “tributaries,” and “lakes, ponds, and impoundments” exist where there
is an OHWM. The OHWM appears in waterways that exhibit a “clear, natural line impressed on the
bank”7 caused by variations in water levels over time. “Adjacent wetlands” exist where there are
wetland indicators (discussed in Section 2.1.2 of this report) plus adjacency to some other “Water of
the U.S.” A wetland is adjacent when it abuts, is inundated by flooding from, is separated only by a
natural barrier from, or is separated only by an artificial barrier allowing hydrologic connectivity to,
some other “Water of the U.S.”8
The USACE holds final authority over all determinations of whether any water or feature qualifies as a
“Water of the U.S.” subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act. However, certain types of
waterways do not qualify as “Waters of the U.S.” even if they exhibit an OHWM and/or wetland
indicators. Through the 2020 Navigable Waters Protection Rule (Step Two), the USEPA and USACE
exclude the following waters and features from the definition of “Waters of the U.S.”:
Groundwater, including groundwater drained through subsurface drainage systems; ephemeral
features that flow only in direct response to precipitation, including ephemeral streams, swales,
gullies, rills, and pools; diffuse stormwater runoff and directional sheet flow over upland; ditches
that are not traditional navigable waters, tributaries, or that are not constructed in adjacent
wetlands, subject to certain limitations; prior converted cropland; artificially irrigated areas that
would revert to upland if artificial irrigation ceases; artificial lakes and ponds that are not
jurisdictional impoundments and that are constructed or excavated in upland or non-jurisdictional
waters; water-filled depressions constructed or excavated in upland or in non-jurisdictional waters
incidental to mining or construction activity, and pits excavated in upland or in non- jurisdictional
waters for the purpose of obtaining fill, sand, or gravel; stormwater control features constructed
or excavated in upland or in non-jurisdictional waters to convey, treat, infiltrate, or store
5 The Navigable Waters Protection Rule (Step Two) was published 21 April 2020 but took effect 20 June 2020, 60 days following
publication in the Federal Register. Prior to 20 June 2020, the Navigable Waters Protection Rule (Step One) of 23 December
2019 was in effect.

stormwater run- off; groundwater recharge, water reuse, and wastewater recycling structures
constructed or excavated in upland or in non-jurisdictional waters; and waste treatment systems.9
These waters and features are not subject to USACE authority under the Clean Water Act. As
established in the 2020 Navigable Waters Protection Rule, these waters and features are classified as
“non-jurisdictional waters.”
The exclusion of “ephemeral features that flow only in direct response to precipitation, including
ephemeral streams, swales, gullies, rills, and pools,” is of especial importance for natural resource
assessments in the American Midwest, since ephemeral streams can be common on some sites and
were, prior to the 2020 Navigable Waters Rule (Step Two), subject to full jurisdictional status as “Waters
of the U.S.”
2.1.2 Wetlands
Wetlands offer a variety of functions and values that may include, but are not limited to, groundwater
recharge/discharge, flood flow alteration, sediment/toxicant retention, and fish and wildlife habitat.
Because of the perceived functions and values of wetlands, USACE developed the Wetlands Delineation
Manual, (1987 Manual)10 to identify wetlands.
Wetlands are defined in the 1987 Manual as, “Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface
or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal
circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil
conditions.”11 The 1987 Manual outlines the protocol for distinguishing wetland areas from "upland"
areas. Wetland areas are delineated according to three primary criteria: vegetation, soil, and hydrology.
An area is determined to qualify as a wetland if it meets the following “general diagnostic
environmental characteristics:”
Hydrophytic vegetation
Hydrology
Hydric Soil
Hydrophytic Vegetation
The 1987 Manual defines hydrophytic vegetation as, “…the sum total of macrophytic plant life that
occurs in areas where the frequency and duration of inundation or soil saturation produce permanently
or periodically saturated soils of sufficient duration to exert a controlling influence on the plant species
present…”
The USFWS and the National Wetland Plant List Panel developed the following categories to establish
the relative probability of species occurring within the ranges between upland and wetland. The list
was updated by USACE with cooperation with other federal agencies in 2016. The following list is the
categories for plant species:
OObligate Wetland Plants (OBL) – Probability of >99% occurrence in wetlands with a 1%
probability of occurrence in upland areas.

FFacultative Wetland Plants (FACW) – Probability of 67% - 99% occurrence in wetlands with a
1% - 33% probability of occurrence in upland areas.
Facultative Plants (FAC) - Probability of 34% - 66% occurrence in either wetlands or upland
areas.
Facultative Upland Plants (FACU) - Probability of 67% - 99% occurrence in upland areas with a
1% - 33% probability of occurrence in wetland areas.
Obligate Upland Plants (UPL) - Probability of >99% occurrence in upland areas with a 1%
probability of occurrence in wetland areas.
The hydrophytic vegetation criterion is met if greater than 50% of dominant species are FAC, FACW, or
OBL.
Hydrology
Areas which are inundated or saturated to the surface for a significant time during the growing season
will typically exhibit characteristics of wetland hydrology. Careful examination of the site conditions is
needed to adequately identify wetland areas. The anaerobic and reducing conditions in inundated or
saturated soils influence the plant community and may favor a dominance of hydrophytic species. It
should be noted that the 1987 Manual further defines the growing season and methodology for
determining evidence of hydrology.
There are two types of hydrologic indicators: primary and secondary. Primary indicators of hydrology
are discussed in the 1987 Manual and include, but are not limited to, inundation, and saturation within
the upper 12 inches of soil, water marks, drift lines, sediment deposits, and drainage patterns.
Secondary indicators include, but are not limited to, oxidized root channels, water stained leaves, local
soil survey data, FAC-Neutral test, etc. One primary or two secondary indicators are required to meet
this criterion.
Hydric Soil
"A hydric soil is formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the
growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part." 12 All organic soils (except Folists)
are considered hydric, while mineral soils must be carefully examined to qualify as hydric. There are
several indicators that suggest a soil is hydric. An inspection of the soil profile to a minimum depth of
16 inches below ground surface is required in order to make this determination. The soil data used is
the horizon of soil immediately below the A-horizon, or at 10 inches below the soil surface. Hydric soils
may be present in an upland position; however, there may be insufficient evidence of hydrology or
vegetation for the area to qualify as wetland.
2.1.3 Regional Supplement Manuals
A series of regional supplements 13 to the 1987 manual are developed by the Army Engineer Research
and Development Center (ERDC) to be more specific to regionally geographical conditions. Each
supplement manual is developed to account for regional differences in climate, geology, soils,
hydrology, plant and animal communities, etc. The intent of the regional supplements is to update the
1987 Manual with current information and technology rather than change the definition or manner

2.2 UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 intends to conserve the habitats of federally endangered or
threatened species and to assist in the recovery of species listed. The USFWS is the regulating authority
for this act and works with the states to provide additional conservation measures. The USFWS 14
defines two classifications of protected species, endangered and threatened. An endangered species
is an organism that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. A
threatened species is an organism that is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future
throughout all or a significant portion of its range. All species of plants and animals are eligible for
listing.
Any activity that may incidentally harm federally threatened or endangered species is prohibited by the
ESA. For proposed development areas that contain listed species, private landowners may create a
Habitat Conservation Plan to minimize the impact on the listed species. This plan should include the
protection of breeding, foraging, and shelter requirements for the listed species. The USFWS may then
grant an Incidental Take Permit for the project. In the event that any person knowingly violates any
provision of the Act or Permit, the person may be assessed penalties.
Projects that involve federal funding or permitting on a site where endangered or threatened species
are known to occur or where significant habitat is present will require an alternatives analysis and
extensive documentation of agency coordination.
2.3 INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
IDEM is the State agency that reviews and issues permits regarding isolated wetlands (IAC 13-18). The
law recognizes three types of wetlands: Class I, Class II, and Class III. Class I isolated wetlands occur in
areas that have been disturbed by human activity/development, have low species diversity or greater
than 50% nonnative species, do not provide critical habitat for the support of significant wildlife or
aquatic vegetation, or do not possess significant hydrologic function. Class III isolated wetlands are

7
located in areas that are undisturbed or minimally disturbed by human activity/development, are
composed of rare or important ecological types, and support more than minimal wildlife or aquatic
habitat and hydrologic function. Class II isolated wetlands are those that do not fit the criteria set for
either Class I or Class III isolated wetlands.
Exemptions are in place to allow impacts to Class I and Class II wetlands without requiring permitting
and mitigation. Class I wetlands qualify for the exemption if the entire wetland does not exceed 0.5
acre. Any Class I wetland exceeding 0.5 acre will require mitigation. Class II wetlands qualify for the
exemption if the entire wetland acreage does not exceed 0.25 acre. Any Class II wetland exceeding 0.25
acre will require mitigation. Any proposed impacts to Class III or nonexempt Class I or Class II wetlands
will require an isolated wetlands and/or “waters of the State” permit through IDEM. Such isolated
wetland permit applications will be submitted concurrently with any USACE Section 404 jurisdictional
wetland permits and IDEM Section 401 WQC if necessary.
According to IAC 13-18, impacts to isolated wetlands will require some form of compensatory
mitigation. The law specifically states the amount of mitigation that must be created to offset impacts
to isolated wetlands. TThese mitigation ratios do not apply to USACE jurisdictional wetlands.The
mitigation ratios for impacts to state regulated wetlands (isolated) are as follows:
Table 3: Mitigation Ratios for Isolated Wetlands
Impact Type Replacement On Site Ratio Off -Site Ratio
Class I Class I 1.5:1 Acres 1.5:1 Acres
Class I Class II or III 1:1 Acres 1:1 Acres

2.4 INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
The IDNR Division of Water has authority over the floodways of waterways that have a watershed
greater than one square mile. If construction activities are proposed in a regulated floodway then a
Construction in a Floodway permit would be required. A watershed analysis would be required to
determine the actual drainage for each waterway proposed to be impacted. In addition, trees cleared
within a regulated floodway will require compensatory mitigation.
The IDNR Division of Nature Preserves provides a Natural Heritage Data center for the documentation
of state and federally listed endangered, threatened, and rare species and high quality natural
communities. The IDNR serves to identify, protect, and manage significant natural areas and ETR
species through coordination with the land owner. Currently over 23,000 acres of dedicated Nature
Preserves are located throughout the state. The preservation of natural communities supports species
diversity and provides examples of historic conditions for recreational, educational, and scientific
opportunities.
2.4.1 IDNR In-Lieu Fee Program
Effective May 3, 2018, USACE Louisville, Chicago, and Detroit Districts approved the IDNR In-Lieu Fee
(ILF) program. The Indiana Stream and Wetland Mitigation Program (IN SWMP) was approved to sell
4511 W 99TH STREET
8
wetland and stream mitigation credits consistent with 33 CFR Part 332, “Compensatory Mitigation for
Losses of Aquatic Resources.” The ILF program allows the DNR to sell stream and wetland mitigation
credits that can be used for compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to isolated wetlands in
the State of Indiana and “Waters of the U.S.” Permits are required from USACE in accordance with
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and by IDEM under Section 401 Water Quality Certification
of the CWA and Indiana Isolated Wetlands Law (IAC 13-18-22).
2.5 SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT
A Rule 5 Stormwater Run-off Permit is required for construction related activities that will disturb one
or more acres of land that is not within a designated Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
entity or is in a MS4 entity that does not have a stormwater ordinance established. The purpose of Rule
5 is to reduce pollutants, mainly sediment from soil erosion, in stormwater discharges into surface
waters of the State for the protection of public health, existing water uses, and aquatic biota.
A Construction Plan, including a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, must be reviewed and
approved by the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) as part of the Rule 5
permit process. A public notice of the intent to operate under Rule 5 must be submitted in a newspaper
of general circulation. A Notice of Intent (NOI) letter must then be submitted to IDEM including a $100
application fee, proof of the public notice, and the Construction Plan Review Approval Verification Form
as received from the SWCD. A Rule 5 Stormwater Run-off Permit will be issued by IDEM if all materials
are approved.
2.6 HAMILTON COUNTY DRAINAGE BOARD
The Hamilton County Drainage Board has authority over designated regulated drains. Drains could
include subdivision drains, field tiles, or open ditches and creeks, within Hamilton County. Authorization
from the Hamilton County Drainage Board would be required for any work conducted within the
easement of a regulated drain. Any construction affecting a regulated drain, and/or the corresponding
easement on either side of the drain must be reviewed and approved by the Hamilton County Surveyor
prior to disturbance.

V3 reviewed applicable, readily available and accessible historical information for the potential
presence of wetlands, “Waters of the U.S.”, and other natural resources. The findings are presented
below.
3.1 PROJECT LOCATION MAP
The project is located at 4511 W 99th Street in Carmel, Hamilton County, Indiana. The SITE location is
shown on the ESRI World Street Map in FFigure 1.
3.2 NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY MAP
National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps were developed to meet a USFWS mandate to map the
wetland and deepwater habitats of the U.S. These maps were developed using high altitude aerial
photographs and USGS Quadrangle maps as a topographic base. Indicators that exhibited pre-
determined wetland characteristics, visible in the photographs, were identified according to a detailed
classification system. The NWI map retains some of the detail of the Quadrangle map; however, it is
used primarily for demonstration of wetland areas identified by the agency. The maps are accurate to
a scale of 1:24,000. In general, the NWI information requires field verification.
NWI data is shown projected over the USGS 7.5-Minute Quadrangle Map in FFigure 2. No NWI features
are mapped within the SITE area.
3.3 UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 7.5-MINUTE QUADRANGLE MAP
A USGS 7.5-Minute Quadrangle map displays contour lines to portray the shape and elevation of the
land surface. Quadrangle maps render the three-dimensional changes in elevation of the terrain on a
two-dimensional surface. The maps usually portray both manmade and natural topographic features.
Although they show lakes, rivers, various surface water drainage trends, vegetation, etc., they typically
do not provide the level of detail needed for accurate evaluation of wetlands. However, the existence
of these features may suggest the potential presence of wetlands.
The SITE is situated in the Carmel, Indiana USGS 7.5-Minute Quadrangle Map, in Section 7, Township
17 North, Range 3 East. V3 evaluated the topography and concluded that the SITE elevation ranges
from approximately 880 to 890 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). No aquatic features are mapped
within the SITE area (Figure 3).
3.4 FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was developed in 1979 to reform disaster relief
and recovery, civil defense, and to prepare and mitigate for natural hazards. The Mitigation Division of
FEMA manages the National Flood Insurance Program which provides guidance on how to lessen the
impact of disasters on communities through flood insurance, floodplain management, and flood hazard
mapping. Proper floodplain management has the ability to minimize the extent of flooding and flood
damage and improve stormwater quality by reducing stormwater velocities and erosion. The one
percent annual chance flood (100-year flood) boundary must be kept free of encroachment as the
national standard for the program.
V3 reviewed digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) data from the FEMA Flood Map Service Center
and National Flood Hazard Zone data for Hamilton County, Indiana. No portion of the SITE is mapped
within the 100-year floodway or a flood zone (Figure 4). The FEMA FIRM map was not available for
download.

3.5 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SOIL SURVEY
V3 reviewed the soils mapped on-SITE using the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) digital
soil survey data for Hamilton County, Indiana. This data is projected over aerial photography, illustrating
distinct soil map unit boundaries, in FFigure 5.
The SITE is situated entirely within one mapped soil unit: Urban land-Crosby silt loam complex, fine-
loamy subsoil, 0 to 2 percent slopes (UcfA). This soil unit is not considered hydric in Hamilton County.
Soils are considered hydric if more than 50 percent of the soil contains hydric components according
to the NRCS Web Soil Survey. The absence of hydric soil units within the SITE suggests a lower
probability of wetlands occurring.
3.6 ENDANGERED, THREATENED, AND RARE SPECIES EVALUATION
V3 filed a request with the USFWS and IDNR for documentation of any ETR species on-SITE.
A query submitted to the USFWS IPaC website indicated that the SITE is within the range of the federally
endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) and the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis
septentrionalis).
Correspondence with the IDNR indicated seven special-status species or significant areas are within a
0.50-mile radius of the SITE. Blanchard’s Cricket Frog (Acris blanchardi),15 Sedge Wren (Cistothorus
platensis), Least Bittern (Ixobrychus exilis), King Rail (Rallus elegans), and Virginia Rail’s (Rallus
limicola)16 primary habitat includes open water, emergent and forested wetlands, and forested edges.
The Eastern Red Bat’s (Lasiurus borealis) primary habitat includes forests, forest edges, and
hedgerows.17 The American Badger’s (Taxidea taxus) primary habitat includes plains and prairies,
farmland, and edges of woods.18 Favorable habitat for all these species is located on-SITE, therefore,
there is a possible occurrence of these species on-SITE. Please refer to Appendix A for copies of the ETR
correspondence
The Browning Marsh Preserve is located adjacent to the SITE and is owned by Central Indiana Land
Trust, Inc. All precautions must be taken to prevent impacts to the systems and features within the
preserve. No dewatering of the preserve or additional water placed upon it. Best Management
Practices must be practiced to prevent impacts to the preserve. Central Indiana Land Trust, Inc must
be contacted prior to any disturbances to adjacent land of the Browning Marsh Preserve. If federal
permitting or federal financing will be used in future development, additional coordination may be
necessary.

CHAPTER 4 SITE RECONNAISSANCE
5.1 METHODOLOGY
V3 conducted a field investigation at the SITE on 30 September 2020. During this investigation, V3
noted the presumed land use of the SITE and surrounding area, and evaluated the SITE for the potential
presence of wetlands, “Waters of the U.S.,” and natural resources using the findings of the desktop
review and field observations. Photographs were taken during the field investigation and are provided
in AAppendix B.
V3 used the Routine Determination Method (RDM) with an established baseline and transects as
described in the 1987 Manual for typical sites over five acres. V3 recorded data from a number of data
points (DP) along the transect as a function of diversity of vegetation, property size, soil types, habitat
variability, and other SITE features as deemed appropriate by V3. Where evidence of a wetland was
suspected, three wetland criteria were applied to determine if the area in question was representative
of a wetland using the methodology set forth by USACE. More specifically, V3 visually examined and
recorded the dominant vegetation, recorded soil properties such as texture and color using the Munsell
Soil Color Chart (Munsell Color Chart), excavated soil pits, and evaluated the primary and secondary
hydrologic indicators as discussed in Section 2.1.2.
If all three criteria were met, i.e. vegetation, soil properties, and hydrologic indicators, a second DP was
established adjacent to the wetland DP in an area outside of the presumed wetland boundary for the
purpose of delineating between the wetland and non-wetland areas. Once delineated, V3 continued
the RDM to evaluate the remainder of the SITE.
5.2 SITE AND ADJACENT PROPERTY LAND USE
The majority of the SITE consists of an industrial building with approximately 0.6 acre of woodland.
Adjacent land use consists of the Mayflower Industrial Park.
5.3 WETLAND SUMMARY
Two wetlands were identified during this investigation based upon the methodology set forth in the
1987 Manual and the Midwest Regional Supplement. Information that V3 collected at each DP on 30
September 2020 is described in the following section. This information is summarized on the forms
provided in Appendix C. An overall SITE delineation map showing placement of the DPs is included as
Figure 6.
5.3.1 Wetland A – (±0.09-acre PFO On-SITE)
Wetland A is situated in the southwestern portion of the SITE and appears to extend off-SITE. Wetland
A is classified as a palustrine, forested (PFO) wetland. Wetland A does not appear to exhibit a hydrologic
connection to “Waters of the U.S.”, and as such would likely be considered an isolated “Waters of the
State.” subject to regulation by IDEM alone.
DP A1
This DP was collected in the northern portion of Wetland A. The dominant vegetation present consisted
of green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica, FACW), pin oak (Quercus palustris, FACW), eastern cottonwood
(Populus deltoides, FAC), American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana, FAC), gray dogwood (Cornus
racemosa, FAC), fowl manna grass (Glyceria striata, OBL), and poison-ivy (Toxicodendron radicans, FAC)
meeting the hydrophytic vegetation criterion. Examination of the soil profile using the Munsell Color
Chart revealed a matrix color of 10YR 4/2 with 10YR 5/6 redox concentrations to a depth of 18 inches,
4511 W 99TH STREET
12
meeting the hydric soil criterion with the Depleted Matrix (F3) indicator. Evidence of hydrologic
features included water marks (B1), sparsely vegetated concave surface (B8), geomorphic position
(D2), and the FAC-Neutral Test (D5). Since all three criteria were met, this area qualified as a wetland.
DDP A2
This DP was collected north of Wetland A. The dominant vegetation present consisted of northern
white oak (Quercus alba, FACU), shagbark hickory (Carya ovata, FACU), northern red oak (Quercus
rubra, FACU), Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii, UPL), gray dogwood (FAC), green ash (FACW),
Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis, FACU), and graceful sedge (Carex gracillima, UPL), which did
not meet the hydrophytic vegetation criterion. Examination of the soil profile using the Munsell Color
Chart revealed a matrix color of 10YR 5/1 to a depth of 12 inches and 10YR 5/1 with 10YR 5/6 redox
concentrations from 12 to 18 inches, which did not meet the hydric soil criterion. No evidence of
hydrologic features was observed. Since all three criteria were not met, this area did not qualify as a
wetland.
5.3.2 Wetland B – (±0.04-acre PFO)
Wetland B is situated in the northwestern portion of the SITE. Wetland B is classified as a PFO wetland.
Wetland B does not appear to exhibit a hydrologic connection to “Waters of the U.S.”, and as such
would likely be considered an isolated “Waters of the State.” subject to regulation by IDEM alone.
DP B1
This DP was collected in the northern portion of Wetland B. The dominant vegetation present consisted
of green ash (FACW), pin oak (FACW), gray dogwood (FAC), and fowl manna grass (OBL), meeting the
hydrophytic vegetation criterion. Examination of the soil profile using the Munsell Color Chart revealed
a matrix color of 10YR 4/1 with 10YR 5/6 redox concentrations to a depth of 18 inches, meeting the
hydric soil criterion with the Depleted Matrix (F3) indicator. Evidence of hydrologic features included
water marks (B1), sparsely vegetated concave surface (B8), geomorphic position (D2), and the FAC-
Neutral Test (D5). Since all three criteria were met, this area qualified as a wetland.
DP B2
This DP was collected north of Wetland B. The dominant vegetation present consisted of sugar maple
(Acer saccharum, FACU), American ash (Fraxinus americana, FACU), American hornbeam (FAC), Amur
honeysuckle (UPL), gray dogwood (FAC), flowering dogwood (Cornus florida, FACU), and poison-ivy
(FAC), which did not meet the hydrophytic vegetation criterion. Examination of the soil profile using
the Munsell Color Chart revealed a matrix color of 10YR 4/2 to a depth of 12 inches and 10YR 4/2 with
10YR 5/6 redox concentrations from 12 to 18 inches, which did not meet the hydric soil criterion. No
evidence of hydrologic features was observed. Since all three criteria were not met, this area did not
qualify as a wetland.
5.4 DATA POINT SUMMARY
Below is a description of the information collected at each additional DP during the 30 September 2020
field investigation that was not associated with an identified wetland area. The purpose of collecting
these DPs was to describe the remaining characteristics of the SITE. Information that was collected at
each DP is summarized on the forms provided in Appendix C. Their placement is depicted in FFigure 6.
DP 1
This DP was collected in the southwestern portion of the SITE. The dominant vegetation present
consisted of swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor, FACW), American ash (FACW), slippery elm (Ulmus
4511 W 99TH STREET
13
rubra, FAC), Amur honeysuckle (UPL), gray dogwood (FAC), and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus
quinquefolia, FACU), which did not meet the hydrophytic vegetation criterion. Examination of the soil
profile using the Munsell Color Chart revealed a matrix color of 10YR 4/3 to a depth of 18 inches, which
did not meet the hydric soil criterion. No evidence of hydrologic features was observed. Since all three
criteria were not met, this area did not qualify as a wetland.
5.5 DRAINAGE FEATURES, STREAMS, AND OTHER POTENTIAL “WATERS OF THE U.S.”
No drainage features, streams, or other potential “Waters of the U.S.” were observed on-SITE.
Analysis of the Hamilton County and Boone County online GIS resource indicated no county regulated
drains are located on-SITE.

CHAPTER 5 CONCLUSIONS
On 30 September 2020, V3 performed a wetland delineation of the SITE located in the Carmel, Indiana
USGS 7.5-Minute Quadrangle Map, Section 7, Township 17 North, Range 3 East.
Two wetlands were identified within the SITE boundary.
TTable 4: Aquatic Features On-SITE
Water Body Type Size
((On-SSite)
Anticipated
RRegulatory Status
Wetland A Forested Wetland ±0.09 acre IDEM
Wetland B Forested Wetland ±0.03 acre IDEM
Wetlands A and B identified on-SITE did not appear to exhibit a hydrological connection to any “Waters
of the U.S.,” and therefore would likely be considered an isolated wetland subject to regulation by
IDEM alone. If impacts to isolated wetlands are proposed, the type of permit required will depend on
the extent of impacts and on the class of the impacted wetland as verified by IDEM. Mitigation for
impacts to isolated, forested wetlands would be at a ratio of 2.5:1. IDEM may grant an exemption from
mitigation requirements for isolated wetland impacts if specific conditions are met.
Analysis of the Hamilton County and Boone County online GIS resource indicated no county regulated
drains are located on-SITE.
Based on an official species list obtained from the USFWS IPaC website, the SITE is within the range of
the federally-endangered Indiana bat and the federally-threatened northern long-eared bat.
Correspondence with the IDNR indicated no documented occurrences of either bat species within a
0.50-mile radius of the SITE. During the SITE visit, V3 noted that several potential bat habitat trees were
observed on-SITE at the time of the SITE reconnaissance. If the proposed project includes removing
these trees, it is recommended that they be removed between 15 October and 31 March to avoid
incidental harming of these species if federal funding or permitting is involved. Correspondence with
the IDNR indicated seven other ETR species within a 0.50-mile radius of the SITE.
Blanchard’s Cricket Frog,19 Sedge Wren, Least Bittern, King Rail, and Virginia Rail’s 20 primary habitat
includes open water, emergent and forested wetlands, and forested edges. The Eastern Red Bat’s
primary habitat includes forests, forest edges, and hedgerows.21 The American Badger’s primary
habitat includes plains and prairies, farmland, and edges of woods.22 Habitat for all these species occurs
within the SITE. There is a chance these species will occur on-SITE.
The Browning Marsh Preserve is located adjacent to the SITE and is owned by Central Indiana Land
Trust, Inc. According to IDNR correspondence, all precautions must be taken to prevent impacts to the
systems and features within the preserve. No dewatering of the preserve or additional water placed
upon it. Best Management Practices must be practiced to prevent impacts to the preserve. Central

Indiana Land Trust, Inc must be contacted prior to any disturbances to adjacent land of the Browning
Marsh Preserve.
If proposed development activities will disturb one or more acres of land, then a Rule 5 Stormwater
Run-off Permit may be required.
If development activities are proposed to impact any of these aquatic features, V3 recommends that
the final report and associated figures be submitted to USACE for JD.

Dear Olivia Speckman:
I am responding to your request for information on the threatened or endangered (T&E) species, high quality
natural communities, and natural areas for the Proposed Development Project at 4511 W. 99th Street in
Hamilton County, Indiana. The Indiana Natural Heritage Data Center has been checked and included you
will find a datasheet with information on the T&E species documented within 0.5 mile of the project area.
The project site is adjacent to the Browning Marsh Preserve which is a property that is owned and managed
by Central Indiana Land Trust, Inc. Due to the close proximity of the development project to a protected
natural area, it is expected that all precautions are taken to not impact the systems and features protected
therein. There must be no dewatering of the preserve, or additional water placed upon it. The use of best
management practices for soil erosion and runoff should be utilized during the project to minimize direct
impacts to the wetland. Proper dust control measures should be implemented. Additionally, prior to any
project disturbances adjacent to the Browning Marsh Preserve please coordinate with the Central Indiana
Land Trust, Inc.
For more information on the animal species mentioned, please contact Christie Stanifer, Environmental
Coordinator, Division of Fish and Wildlife, 402 W. Washington Room W273, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46204,
(317)232-8163 or environmentalreview@dnr.in.gov.
The information I am providing does not preclude the requirement for further consultation with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service as required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. If you have
concerns about potential Endangered Species Act issues you should contact the Service at their
Bloomington, Indiana office.

Please note that the Indiana Natural Heritage Data Center relies on the observations of many individuals for
our data. In most cases, the information is not the result of comprehensive field surveys conducted at
particular sites. Therefore, our statement that there are no documented significant natural features at a site
should not be interpreted to mean that the site does not support special plants or animals.
Due to the dynamic nature and sensitivity of the data, this information should not be used for any project
other than that for which it was originally intended. It may be necessary for you to request updated material
from us in order to base your planning decisions on the most current information.
Thank you for contacting the Indiana Natural Heritage Data Center. You may reach me at (317)233-2558 if
you have any questions or need additional information.

Project Name: 20542 - 4511 W 99th Street
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The attached species list identifies any federally threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate
species that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project or may be affected by your
proposed project. The list also includes designated critical habitat if present within your proposed
project area or affected by your project. This list is provided to you as the initial step of the
consultation process required under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act, also referred to
as Section 7 Consultation.
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 requires that actions authorized, funded, or
carried out by Federal agencies not jeopardize federally threatened or endangered species or
adversely modify designated critical habitat. To fulfill this mandate, Federal agencies (or their
designated non-federal representative) must consult with the Service if they determine their
project ²may affect³ listed species or critical habitat.
Under 50 CFR 402.12(e) (the regulations that implement Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act) the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally. You may verify the list by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website
http://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/ at regular intervals during project planning and implementation and
completing the same process you used to receive the attached list. As an alternative, you may
contact this Ecological Services Field Office for updates.
Please use the species list provided and visit the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Region 3
Section 7 Technical Assistance website at - http://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/section7/
s7process/index.html. This website contains step-by-step instructions which will help you
09/21/2020 Event Code: 03E12000-2020-E-10718 2
Ƒ
determine if your project will have an adverse effect on listed species and will help lead you
through the Section 7 process.
For all wind energy projects and projects that include installing towers that use guy wires or
are over 200 feet in height, please contact this field office directly for assistance, even if no
federally listed plants, animals or critical habitat are present within your proposed project or may
be affected by your proposed project.
Although no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act, be aware that bald eagles are
protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.) and Migratory
Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq), as are golden eagles. Projects affecting these species may
require measures to avoid harming eagles or may require a permit. If your project is near an
eagle nest or winter roost area, see our Eagle Permits website at http://www.fws.gov/midwest/
midwestbird/EaglePermits/index.html to help you determine if you can avoid impacting eagles or
if a permit may be necessary.
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. Please include the
Consultation Tracking Number in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or
correspondence about your project that you submit to our office.

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 2 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species. Note that 1 of these species should be
considered only under certain conditions.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheries , as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.
NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is an
office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of
Commerce.
