WETLAND DETERMINATION DATA FORM-Midwest Region <br /> Project/Site 4505 West Branch Rd City/County: Orono,Hennepin Sampling Date: 5/21/14 <br /> Applicant/Owner: Renee Wixon State: MN Sampling Point: SP 2-1 Up <br /> Investigator(s): DR,FJS vection,Township,Range: T117N R23W S07 <br /> Landform(hillslope,terrace,etc.): hillslope Local relief(concave,convex,none): flat <br /> Slope(%): 2-3% Lat: Long: Datum: NAD83 <br /> Soil Map Unit Name Lester-Kilkenny complex,6 to 12 percent slopes,eroded JWI 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? <br /> SUMMARY OF FINDINGS (If needed,explain any answers in remarks.) <br /> Hydrophytic vegetation present? Y <br /> Hydric soil present? N Is the sampled area within a wetland? N <br /> Indicators of wetland hydrology present? Y yes,optional wetland site ID: <br /> Remarks:(Explain alternative procedures here or in a separate report.) <br /> Slope goes down from Wetland 2 to Wetland 1. Recent heavy precipitation conditions and late spring melt has led to <br /> higher than normal soil water. Ditch in wetland to the south is likely 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 Fraxinus pennsylvanica 30 Y FACW that are OBL,FACW,or FAC: 4 (A) <br /> 2 Juniperus virginiana 30 Y FACU Total Number of Dominant <br /> 3 Species Across all Strata: 6 (B) <br /> 4 Percent of Dominant Species <br /> 5 that are OBL,FACW,or FAC: 66.67% (A/B) <br /> 60 =Total Cover <br /> Sapling/Shrub stratun (Plot size: 15' ) Prevalence Index Worksheet <br /> 1 Juniperus virginiana 20 Y FACU Total%Cover of: <br /> 2 Rhamnus cathartica 5 N FAC OBL species 0 x 1= 0 <br /> 3 Rubus idaeus 2 N FACU FACW species 80 x 2= 160 <br /> 4 FAC species 25 x 3= 75 <br /> 5 FACU species 54 x 4= 216 <br /> 27 =Total Cover UPL species 0 x 5= 0 <br /> Herb stratum (Plot size: 5' ) Column totals 159 (A) 451 (B) <br /> 1 Phalaris arundinacea 30 Y FACW Prevalence Index=B/A= 2.84 <br /> 2 Solidago gigantea 20 Y FACW <br /> 3 Poa pratensis 20 Y FAC Hydrophytic Vegetation Indicators: <br /> 4 Taraxacum officinale 2 N FACU _Rapid test for hydrophytic vegetation <br /> 5 X Dominance test is>50% <br /> 6 X Prevalence index is 53.0* <br /> 7 Morphogical adaptations*(provide <br /> 8 supporting data in Remarks or on a <br /> 9 _separate sheet) <br /> 10 Problematic hydrophytic vegetation* <br /> 72 =Total Cover (explain) <br /> Woody vine stratum (Plot size: ) *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?
