supported by periodic inundation or saturation following precipitation or snowmelt runoff events. Primary <br /> hydrology indicators include High Water Table(A2)and Saturation(A3).Sparsely Vegetated Concave Surface(B8) <br /> and Water-Stained Leaves(B9). <br /> Secondary hydrology indicators include Drainage Patterns(B10),Geomorphic Position(D2)and FAC-Neutral Test <br /> (D5). T'he identified hydrology indicators meet the criteria for wetland hydrology. <br /> Soils <br /> For the wetland basin along the north and east boundary,observed soil profiles generally match the soil profile for <br /> the Houghton and Muskego soils,with the exception that on the northeast corner of the property,some areas contain <br /> up to two inches of depositional material deposited over the wetland soils by stormwater runoff. Soils in the wetland <br /> basin at the southeast corner are characteristic of cut and fill activities and do not correspond to any specific soil <br /> series profile.The observed hydric soil indicators include Histisol(A11),Depleted Below Dark Surface(Ai 1)and <br /> Depleted Matrix(F3).The observed hydric soil indicators meet the criteria for hydric soil. <br /> Conclusion <br /> A wetland survey was conducted for the Freshwater Foundation property,located in Orono,Minnesota.Two <br /> wetlands were identified,including a large wetland that enters the property at two separate locations along the north <br /> and east boundary of the property. The wetlands were delineated with the boundary determined based on distinct <br /> differences in vegetation,soils,hydrology and topography consisting of the following: 1)transition from <br /> predominantly hydrophytic vegetation within wetland areas to non-hydrophytic vegetation on upland areas; 2) <br /> transition from hydric soils to non-hydric soils;and 3)transition from high water tables,saturated soils,or soils with <br /> indicators of saturation,to upland areas that lack indicators of wetland hydrology;and,4)wetland/upland <br /> boundaries generally corresponded with topographic features on the property. <br /> �� <br /> � <br /> Freshwafer Foundation � Paae 5 Wetland Delineation Reqort <br /> Cross River Consulting, LLC June 3, 2015 <br />
