' Diesen Wetland Delineation-page two <br /> ' Is the hydric soil criterion met? <br /> Rationale: Based on the low chroma values and moisture in the soil, they are considered Hydric. Oxidized <br />' rhizospheres were also present. <br /> HYDROLOGY <br />' Is the ground surface inundated? On the day of the initial investigation,no, they were saturated as a result of recent rains, <br /> within 4 hours of the field inspection,and the reed canary matt was high in moisture content. <br />' Depth to free standing water in pit/soil probe hole: Free standing water was present at 14 inches at the wetland <br /> edge. <br />' Other evidence of surface inundation or soil saturation: The area under investigation for a wetland receives <br /> considerable surface drainage from the west and was saturated on the day of investigation. Westerly of the wetland <br /> edge,the wetland is inundated but this is beyond the assessment area property boundary. <br />' Is the wetland hydrology criterion met? ® Existing hydrology exhibits wetland characteristics. The <br /> area has received "— 125% of normal rainfall" for the current season, most of that was immediately prior to the <br /> investigation. The precipitation data is attached. <br /> Rationale: The wetland,as determined,maintains hydrology approximately 12-14 inches below ground level, <br /> beyond the wetland edges,the water table appears to drop dramatically as the edge is on a—5%slope. <br /> JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION AND RATIONALE <br /> The area investigated is a slope wetland. Hydrophytic vegetation is present and the soils are hydric, the <br />' necessary hydrology does support a wetland. <br /> Respectfully submitted: Date 9 <br />' Gerald W.Gray,President-GBC nc. <br /> Attachments: Aerial photo taken 6-7-99 showing approximate: <br />' a. soil test sites <br /> b. wetland edge <br /> c. dominant vegetation <br />' d. outflow of surface water <br /> e. existing ditches affecting the wetland area <br /> f, approximate property lines <br /> g. 1998 delineation <br />' NRCS aerial photo with NWI wetlands <br /> Copy of Hennepin County soils map <br /> Location Map as per location within the township <br /> Site precipitation data for April and May-1999 <br />' Precipitation maps showing%of normal,weekly and ranking <br /> Survey to be Provided by Schoberg Land Surveying <br />
