2090 SHORELINE DRIVE RESOURCE 8c FIELD REVIEWS <br /> Resource Review <br /> The following resources were reviewed to supplement the wetland field delineation: <br /> National Wetlands Inventory: <br /> The National Wetlands Inventory (Appendix A. Figure 2) identifies one PEM1 F wetland within the project <br /> area. <br /> USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey: <br /> The Soil Survey of Hennepin County, MN(Appendix A. Figure 3)identifies hydric soil Tadkee-Tadkee loamy <br /> fine sand within the project area. <br /> Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory: <br /> The MN DNR PWI for Hennepin County, MN (Appendix A. Figure 4) identifies Lake Minnetonka, which <br /> surrounds the north,west, and south sides of the parcel. <br /> Antecedent Precipitation Data: <br /> An analysis of the University of Minnesota Climatology Working Group's 30 day rolling precipitation data for <br /> the previous three months(Appendix D)indicate that precipitation totals for previous weeks were above the <br /> normal monthly range for this project area, but trending towards normal. Hydrologic conditions were suitable <br /> for completing an accurate wetland determination and boundary delineation. <br /> Field Review <br /> Wetland 1: Wetland 1 is a Type 2/4, PEM1B/F, Fresh Wet Meadow/Deep Marsh fringe wetland that <br /> transitions into Lake Minnetonka. Overall, the wetland vegetation is dominated by American water <br /> horehound (Lycopus americanus), broad leaf cattail (Typha latifolia), and common buckthorn (Rhamnus <br /> cathartica). The underlying soils are mapped as Tadkee-Tadkee loamy fine sand, Angus loam, and Lester <br /> loam.The investigated soil profile met the redox dark surface(F6)hydric soil indicator. Hydrology indicators <br /> observed include a dry season water table (water table at 20 inches) (C2), geomorphic position (D2), and <br /> the FAC-Neutral Test(D5). <br /> The upland buffer surrounding the wetland is a manicured lawn primarily vegetated with crab grass(Digitaria <br /> ischaemum), creeping charlie (G/echoma hederacea), and planted ornamental flowers. The transition <br /> between the upland and the wetland varies between relatively flat to gentle slopes, steep slopes, and <br /> riprapped shoreline. <br /> WETLAND ASSESSMENT <br /> 2090 SHORELINE DRIVE <br /> ORQNO,MN <br /> AuGusT 2016 <br />
