coverage visually estimated within a 30-foot radius for trees and vines, 15-foot radius for the <br /> shrub layer, and a 5-foot radius for the herbaceous layer within the community type being <br /> sampled. <br /> Soils were characterized to a minimum depth of 18-20 inches (unless otherwise noted) utilizing <br /> Munsell Soil Color Charts and standard soil texturing methodology. Hydric soil indicators used <br /> in reporting are from the NTCHS Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States (USDA <br /> Natural Resources Conservation Service Version 7, 2010) which are commonly found in the <br /> Midwest. <br /> Plants were identified using standard regional plant keys. Taxonomy and indicator status of <br /> plant species was taken from the 2014 National Wetland Plant List (Lichvar, R.W. and Kartesz, <br /> J.T. 2009. North American Digital Flora: National Wetland Plant List, version 2.4.0 <br /> (https://wetland_plants.usace.army.mil). U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and <br /> Development Center, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Hanover, NH, and <br /> BONAP, Chapel Hill,NC.). <br /> III. RESULTS <br /> Review of NWI, and DNR Information <br /> The National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) (Excelsior Quadrangle, U.S. Fish & Wildlife <br /> Service 1991) showed a PUBG wetland within site boundaries (Figure 3). <br /> The Soil Survey of Hennepin County, Minnesota <br /> (http://soils.usda.gov/survey/geography/ssurgo/) showed the following soil types within or near <br /> site boundaries (Figure 4). <br /> • SMU Map Unit Name Acres Percentage Hydric Percentage Hydric Category <br /> in AOI of AOI of Map Unit <br /> L22C2 Lester loam, 6 to 10 percent slopes, 2 3 58.6% 2 Predominantly <br /> moderately eroded Non-Hydric <br /> L22D2 Lester loam, 10 to 16 percent 0.04 0.9% 0 Non-Hydric <br /> slopes, moderately eroded <br /> L44A Nesse! loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes 0.3 7.1% 10 Predominantly <br /> Non-Hydric <br /> L45A Dundas-Cordova complex, 0 to 3 1.1 27.9% 30 Predominantly <br /> percent slopes Non-Hydric <br /> The DNR Protected Waters Map,Hennepin County(http://deli.dnr.state.mn.us/) showed no <br /> DNR Protected Waters, Waterways or Wetlands within site boundaries (Figure 5). However, <br /> two DNR Protected Waters (Hadley 27-109P and Lydiard 27-159P) were located within 1000 <br /> feet east and west of the site, respectively. <br /> Wetland Determinations and Delineations <br /> 3 <br />
