The presettlemen-:vegetation was maple-basswood forest in this <br /> area. <br /> The precipitation for the previous three months along with the comparison of the 6/24/13 precipitation <br /> worksheet data was as follows: <br /> May April March <br /> Worksheet(Wks) 4.27 5.58 2.44 <br /> 30%less than 2.45 1.55 1.23 <br /> 30% more than 4.10 3.12 2.05 <br /> 2010 Wks Interpret Wet Wet Wet <br /> Multi-month score (3*3)+ (2*3)+ (1*3) = 18 Wet(15 to 18 being wet) <br /> The delineation was performed on June 24, 2013 and it is unlikely the precipitation totals in this period <br /> affected the boundary of any wetlands in this delineation, even though the period was wetter than normal. <br /> Precipitation data is located in Appendix A. <br /> This wetland delineation was performed and reported bar Wayne Jacobson, Minnesota Professional Soil <br /> Scientist#30611, Society of Wetland Scientists—Professional Wetland Scientist#1000, University of <br /> Minnesota/BWSR Wetland Delineator, Certified#1019, American Fisheries Society—Associate <br /> Fisheries Scientist#A-171. <br /> Methodology <br /> The wetlands on the subject property were delineated using the routine determination methodology set <br /> forth in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. Wetland boundaries were <br /> determined through a routine analysis of the vegetation soils and hydrology which must all show wetland <br /> characteristics in order for an area to be delineated as a wetland. <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 /> Vegetation <br /> The plant species within the parcel were catalogued and assigned a wetland indicator status according to <br /> the North American Digital Flora: National Wetland Plant List, version 2.4.0 <br /> (hMos.-1 wetland plants.usace.army.mil).
