ANTECEDENT PRECIPITATION DATA ANALYSIS The precipitation received in the project area during the previous three months was within the normal range (30-70th percentile) for this area. Prior to the sample date of June 21, 2016, there was dry precipitation in May, above normal precipitation in April and normal precipitation in March. Therefore the field work was completed under normal conditions according to the precipitation worksheet for wetland delineations (Appendix Q. FIELD DELINEATION RESULT Based on the data reviewed and fieldwork conducted, one (1) area was examined for wetland characteristics within the project area. One (1) wetland was ultimately delineated and is further described within this report. The delineated wetland is identified as Wetland A, which includes sample points SP 1-A Up and SP 2-A Wet. Field data forms for each sample point are located in Appendix B. Refer to Figure 6 (Appendix B) for a map of the project boundary, wetland basins, sampling transects, and area. Photos of the wetland basin within the project boundary are included in Appendix C. OTHER AQUATIC RESOURCES There is one additional prominent aquatic resources adjacent to the project boundaries. There is a NWI basin located to the northeast of the project boundary, listed as a Deep Marsh Freshwater Pond (PABG) (Figure 2, Appendix A). Other prominent aquatic resources nearby are Lake Minnetonka, to the south and its associated bays, Crystal Bay to the east and West Arm to the south. WETLAND SUMMARY Table 2.
