625 Ferndale Road North Orono, Minnesota Wetland Delineation Report I. INTRODUCTION The 625 Ferndale Road North site was examined on November 13, 2014 for the presence and extent of wetland. The 4.0-acre site was located in Section 36, Township 118N, Range 23W, City of Orono, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Generally the site was located south of Lydridard Road and west of Ferndale Road North(Figure 1). Site limits were comprised of Hennepin County PID 3611823110021. The site consisted primarily of a single-family residential lot dominated by mowed Kentucky bluegrass and planted conifer(red pine &white spruce) and deciduous (green ash and boxelder) trees (Figure 2). One (1)wetland was located in the north area of the site in a depressional area dominated by reed canary grass. An open water pond was located along the southern boundary of the project area. Generally topography was highest on the north half of the site and sloped gradually downhill toward the south. Adjacent to the site were single-family residential homes on large lots. II. METHODS Wetlands were identified using Routine Determination methodology described in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual(Waterways Experiment Station, 1987) and Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Midwest (Version 2.0) as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act. Wetland boundaries were identified as the upper-most extent of wetlands, which met criteria for hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology. Wetland-upland boundaries were marked with pin flags and were located by Demars-Gabriel Land Surveying IncCraig, I have a couple things attached in the email. First is the wetland delineation report for your review. I also attached a page of the WCA Application that needs to be signed and dated by the client.Can you send me a scanned copy of the page and the contact information of the client(mailing address,email and phone number)? Thanks, Soils, vegetation, and hydrology were documented at representative locations along the wetland- upland boundary. Plant species dominance was estimated based on the percent aerial or basal 2
