The site was approximately 16.13 acres in size, and was located at Sec. 2, T117N, <br /> R23W, Orono, Minnesota. See Figure 1 for a Site Location Map. <br /> The purpose of the investigation was to identify areas within the project boundary meeting the technical <br /> criteria for wetlands, delineate the jurisdictional extent of the wetland basins, and classify the wetland <br /> habitat according to the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the 2010 <br /> Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation: Midwest Region. <br /> Wetlands are areas that are saturated or inundated with surface and or groundwater at a frequency and <br /> duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of <br /> vegetation typically adapted for life in hydric soil conditions. Examples of wetlands include seasonally <br /> flooded basins, floodplain forests, wet meadows, shallow and deep marshes, shrub swamps, wooded <br /> swamps, fens, and bogs. <br /> Wetland boundaries were determined through a routine analysis of the vegetation, soils and hydrology <br /> which must all show wetland characteristics for an area to be delineated as a wetland. <br /> Three basins were delineated within the project area, which are summarized below and shown on Figure <br /> 5. <br /> Basin Circular Size <br /> ID 39 Cowardin Eggers & Reed Dominant Vegetation (acres) <br /> 0.227 <br /> 1 Type 5 PUBG Shallow, open water Lesser Duckweed <br /> community <br /> 0.0223 <br /> PEM1A/PS Seasonally flooded Slender Willow, Reed <br /> 2 Type 1/6 S1C basin/shrub-carr Canary Grass, Gray <br /> Dogwood <br /> 2 <br /> PEM1C/PF Shallow Marsh/hardwood Wooly Sedge, Narrowleaf <br /> 3 Type 3/7 01Ad swamp (ditched) Cattail, Reed Canary Grass, <br /> Box Elder, Green Ash <br /> All figures and appendices referenced by this report are presented at the end of the text. <br /> Wetland Delineation-Mitigation-Permitting-Monitoring-Banking-Functional Analysis-T& E Surveys 2 <br /> Phase I Environmental Assessments-EAW's-Soil ID-Soil Analysis & Delineation-Environmental Referrals <br /> Pond & Lake Weed Control &Fish Stocking-Tree Surveys-Natural Resource Management Plans <br />
