Eric Larson <br /> July 7,2016 <br /> Page 5 <br /> Wetland 1 encompasses approximately 1.25 acres of the Project Site and extends onto the adjacent properties to <br /> the north and south.This wetland appears to be supported by surface water from the surrounding slopes to the <br /> west and north. An unnamed DNR Public Watercourse runs through the north portion of Wetland 1. <br /> Two transects,consisting of two sample locations,were established along the boundary of Wetland 1 where the <br /> topography, dominant vegetation,the soil profile and wetland hydrologic indicators were observed and noted at <br /> each sample location. Data collected from the sample locations are presented in the Field Data Sheets (SP1-1 <br /> WET, SP1-1 UP, SP1-2 WET,SP1-2 UP),which are included with this report. <br /> A majority of Wetland 1 exhibits emergent vegetation dominated by Cattail(OBL)and Reed Canary Grass(FACW). <br /> The wetland boundary was placed at the transition from Reed Canary Grass (FACW)to Smooth Brome (FACU), <br /> Kentucky Bluegrass (FAC), Ground Ivy(FACU),and Virginia Creeper(FACU). <br /> Wetland 2 is classified as a Palustrine(P-)type wetland exhibiting Emergent(-EM-) vegetation and a Saturated <br /> (-B-)moisture regime or a Type 2 (PEM1B)wetland.According to the Hennepin County Soil Survey,Wetland 2 is <br /> mapped as Hamel-Glencoe complex (L132A),and Klossner soils(L49A). The NWI map identifies Wetland 2 as a <br /> Type 1 (PEM1A)wetland.The DNR Public Waters Map for Hennepin County does not identify Wetland 2. <br /> Wetland 2 encompasses approximately 1.94 acres of the Project Site and extends onto the adjacent properties to <br /> the north.This wetland appears to be supported by surface water from the surrounding slopes to the south,east, <br /> and west. An unnamed DNR Public Watercourse flows through Wetland 2 and floods the wetland during large <br /> precipitation events. <br /> One transect,consisting of two sample locations,was established along the boundary of Wetland 2 where the <br /> topography, dominant vegetation,the soil profile and wetland hydrologic indicators were observed and noted at <br /> each sample location. Data collected from the sample locations are presented in the Field Data Sheets (SP2-1 <br /> WET, SP2-1 UP),which are included with this report. <br /> A majority of Wetland 2 exhibits emergent vegetation dominated by Reed Canary Grass (FACW),which <br /> transitions to Jewelweed (FACW), Green Ash (FACW),and Common Buckthorn (FAC)in wooded areas.The <br /> wetland boundary was placed at the transition from Reed Canary Grass(FACW)to Smooth Brome (FACU),Canada <br /> Goldenrod (FACU), and Ground Ivy(FACU). <br /> Wetland 3 is classified as a Palustrine (P-)type wetland exhibiting Emergent(-EM-)vegetation and a Temporary <br /> Flooded (-A-)moisture regime or a Type 1 (PEM1A)wetland.According to the Hennepin County Soil Survey, <br /> Wetland 3 is mapped as Hamel-Glencoe complex (L132A),and Klossner soils (L49A). The NWI identifies Wetland <br /> 3 as a Type 1 (PEM1A)wetland.The DNR Public Waters Map for Hennepin County does not identify Wetland 3. <br /> . • I •• - • • <br />
