WETLAND DETERMINATION DATA FORM-Midwest Region <br /> Project/Site 4505 West Branch Rd City/County: Orono,Hennepin Sampling Date: 5/25/14 <br /> Applicant/Owner: Renne Wixon State: MN Sampling Point: SP 1S-1 Up <br /> Investigator(s): DR,FJS >ection,Township,Range: T117N R23W S07 <br /> Landform(hillslope,terrace,etc.): slope Local relief(concave,convex,none): flat <br /> Slope(%): 5-10 Lat: Long: Datum: NAD83 <br /> Soil Map Unit Name Klossner soils,depressional,0 to 1 percent slopes MI Classification: PEMCd <br /> Are climatic/hydrologic conditions of the site typical for this time of the year? N (If no,explain in remarks) <br /> Are vegetation ,soil ,or hydrology significantly disturbed? Are"normal circumstances" <br /> Are vegetation ,soil ,or hydrology X naturally problematic? present? Yes <br /> SUMMARY OF FINDINGS (If needed,explain any answers in remarks.) <br /> Hydrophytic vegetation present? N <br /> Hydric soil present? N Is the sampled area within a wetland? N <br /> Indicators of wetland hydrology present? N yes,optional wetland site ID: <br /> Remarks:(Explain alternative procedures here or in a separate report.) <br /> Recent heavy precipitation conditions and late spring melt has led to higher than normal soil water. Ditch in area is <br /> affecting hydrology significantly. <br /> VEGETATION--Use scientific names of plants. <br /> Absolute Dominan Indicator Dominance Test Worksheet <br /> Tree Stratum (Plot size: 30' ) %Cover t Species Staus Number of Dominant Species <br /> 1 Rhamnus cathartica 50 Y FAC that are OBL,FACW,or FAC: 3 (A) <br /> 2 Amelanchier arborea 45 Y FACU Total Number of Dominant <br /> 3 Quercus macrocarpa 20 N FAC Species Across all Strata: 6 (B) <br /> 4 Juniperus virginiana 10 N FACU Percent of Dominant Species <br /> 5 that are OBL,FACW,or FAC: 50.00% (A/B) <br /> 125 =Total Cover <br /> Sapling/Shrub stratun (Plot size: 15' ) Prevalence Index Worksheet <br /> 1 Rhamnus cathartica 20 Y FAC Total%Cover of: <br /> 2 Amelanchier arborea 15 Y FACU OBL species 0 x 1= 0 <br /> 3 Lonicera sp. 3 N FACW species 0 x 2= 0 <br /> 4 Acer negundo 1 N FAC FAC species 96 x 3= 288 <br /> 5 Juniperus virginiana 1 N FACU FACU species 78 x 4= 312 <br /> 40 =Total Cover UPL species 0 x 5= 0 <br /> Herb stratum (Plot size: 5' ) Column totals 174 (A) 600 (B) <br /> 1 Sphagnum sp. 10 Y Prevalence Index=B/A= 3.45 <br /> 2 Hydrophyllum virginianum 5 Y FAC <br /> 3 Taraxacum officinale 3 N FACU Hydrophytic Vegetation Indicators: <br /> 4 Polygonatum biflorum 2 N FACU _Rapid test for hydrophytic vegetation <br /> 5 Actaea rubra 2 N FACU _Dominance test is>50% <br /> 6 _Prevalence index is 553.0* <br /> 7 Morphogical adaptations*(provide <br /> 8 supporting data in Remarks or on a <br /> 9 _separate sheet) <br /> 10 Problematic hydrophytic vegetation* <br /> 22 =Total Cover (explain) <br /> Woody vine stratum (Plot size: 30' ) *Indicators of hydric soil and wetland hydrology must be <br /> 1 present,unless disturbed or problematic <br /> 2 Hydrophytic <br /> 0 =Total Cover vegetation <br /> present?

Lonicera was too small to determine species. <br /> US Amy Corps of Engineers Midwest Region <br />
