The site was approximately 16.13 acres in size, and was located at Sec. 2, T1 17N, <br />R23W, Orono, Minnesota. See Figure 1 for a Site Location Map. <br />The purpose of the investigation was to identify areas within the project boundary meeting the technical <br />criteria for wetlands, delineate the jurisdictional extent of the wetland basins, and classify the wetland <br />habitat according to the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the 2010 <br />Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation: Midwest Region. <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 />Wetland boundaries were determined through a routine analysis of the vegetation, soils and hydrology <br />which must all show wetland characteristics for an area to be delineated as a wetland. <br />Three basins were delineated within the project area, which are summarized below and shown on Figure <br />5. <br />Basin <br />Circular <br />Cowardin <br />Eggers &Reed <br />Dominant Vegetation <br />Size <br />ID <br />39 <br />acres <br />0.227 <br />1 <br />Type 5 <br />PUBG <br />Shallow, open -water <br />Lesser Duckweed <br />community <br />0.0223 <br />PEM1A/PS <br />Seasonally flooded <br />Slender Willow, Reed <br />2 <br />Type 1/6 <br />S1C <br />basin/shrub-carr <br />Canary Grass, Gray <br />Dogwood <br />2 <br />PEM1 C/PF <br />Shallow Marsh/hardwood <br />Wooly Sedge, Narrowleaf <br />3 <br />Type 3/7 <br />01Ad <br />swamp (ditched) <br />Cattail, Reed Canary Grass, <br />Box Elder, Green Ash <br />All figures and appendices referenced by this report are presented at the end of the text. <br />Wetland Delineation -Mitigation -Permitting -Monitoring -Banking -Functional Analysis -T & E Surveys 2 <br />Phase I Environmental Assessments- EAW's-Soil ID -Soil Analysis & Delineation -Environmental Referrals <br />Pond & Lake Weed Control & Fish Stocking -Tree Surveys -Natural Resource Management Plans <br />
