It was functioning as a partially drained wet meadow/shallow fresh marsh Type 2/3 PEMB/Cd ' (Palustrine Emergent Saturated/Seasonally Flooded drained) wetland. Wetland W-1 drains to the north through a CMP culvert located under Watertown Road. This wetland was shown on the NWI and other map sources. The slopes adjacent to the wetland were short, gentle and smooth. The adjacent upland area dominant plants consisted of Kentucky bluegrass, dandelion and goldenrod. Wetland vegetation consisted ofreed canary grass,sedge species,and willows with cattails becoming ' dominant in wetter portions of the basin. Hydrology was observed at 10 inches in the sample pit and on the surface in the center portion of the wetland. Soils were hydric. Silty clay loam soils extended from the surface down to depths exceeding 16 inches. The wetland boundaries staked in the field for ' this delineation are shown on Figure 8. Wetland 2 was 0.139 acres in size. It was located along the center portion of the subject property. It was functioning as a wet meadow Type 2/PEMB (Palustrine Emergent Saturated)wetland. This wetland was not shown on the NWI or other map sources. The slopes adjacent to the wetland were ' short,gentle and smooth. The adjacent upland area dominant plants consisted ofKentucky bluegrass. Wetland vegetation consisted of reed canary grass,Kentucky bluegrass and sedge species.Hydrology was assumed from drift lines and sediment deposits on the surface in the center portion of the ' wetland. Soils were hydric. Silty clay loam soils extended from the surface down to depths exceeding 16 inches. The wetland boundaries staked in the field for this delineation are shown on Figure 8.

On the local level in Minnesota,wetland impacts often require a permit under provisions of the Wetland Conservation Act(WCA). Coordination under the WCA is through the local governmental unit (LGU) which may be a city, county, or watershed ' representative. On the state level, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) administers Protected Waters permits. The MDNR should be contacted if wetland impacts are proposed to MDNR Protected Waters. This includes streamer rivers, and Type 3, 4;and 5 wetlands - identified on the MDNR's PWI maps. Alteration to the course, current or cross-section below the ordinary high water elevation (OHW) of a Protected Water, requires a MDNR Protected Waters 8040 5tevens Avenue South - Bloomington, Minnesota 55420-1236 Voice (952) 688-4901 - Fax (952) 888-4901 atom@iaxs.net- www.acomenvironmental.com
