Wetland Delineation Report <br /> Spring Hill Golf Club Site <br /> GES Project No. 2011.036 <br /> December 5, 2011 <br /> Page 3of3 <br /> The upland at the west transect (Transect 2) is described as planted native <br /> prairie consisting predominantly of switch grass and big bluestem. The upland <br /> slope adjacent to the delineated wetland boundary rises relatively abruptly. The <br /> transition between the wetland and upland at the transect location is <br /> characterized by a relatively abrupt change from FACW and OBL vegetation to <br /> FAC vegetation. Soils also demonstrated a relatively abrupt change from very <br /> black mucky loam to lighter sandy loam and loamy sands. <br /> For more detailed information on each wetland, see data forms in Appendix A. <br /> Jurisdictional boundaries on the wetlands were established where the soil <br /> profiles in the upland soils demonstrated a lighter matrix tone, there was a <br /> change in plant communities, hydrology indicators were absent in the upland and <br /> a change in topography occurred. <br /> Figure 4 and 5 depict the National Wetlands Inventory map and the Hennepin <br /> County soil survey, respectively. Figure 6 shows the Minnesota DNR Protected <br /> Waters Inventory map of the areas evaluated. <br /> Ground photos of each wetland transect location are included in Figures 7 —9. <br /> The information contained herein represents our findings during wetland <br /> delineation activities conducted on October 24, 2011 at the referenced site. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Graham Environmental Services, Inc. <br /> e G ra a - <br /> Professional Wetland Scientist No. 365 <br /> Minnesota Wetland Delineator Certified No. 1179 <br /> Enclosures <br />
