2640 Watertown Rd Site, Orono Wetland Delineation Report <br />3 <br />Conservation Service (NRCS) in cooperation with the National Technical Committee for Hydric <br />Soils, Version 8.1, 2017). <br /> <br />Mapped soils are separated into five classes based on the composition of hydric components and <br />the Hydric Rating by Map Unit color classes utilized on Web Soil Survey. The five classes <br />include Hydric (100 percent hydric components), Predominantly Hydric (66 to 99 percent hydric <br />components), Partially Hydric (33 to 65 percent hydric components), Predominantly Non-Hydric <br />(1 to 32 percent hydric components), and Non-Hydric (less than one percent hydric components). <br /> <br />Plants were identified using standard regional plant keys. Taxonomy and indicator status of plant <br />species was taken from the 2016 National Wetland Plant List (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers <br />2016. National Wetland Plant List, version 3.3, Engineer Research and Development Center, <br />Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Hanover, NH). <br /> <br /> <br />4. RESULTS <br /> <br />4.1 Review of NWI, Soils, Public Waters, and NHD Information <br />The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) (Minnesota Geospatial Commons 2009-2014 and U.S. <br />Fish and Wildlife Service) showed one wetland within the site boundaries (Figure 3). <br /> <br />The Soil Survey (USDA NRCS 2015) showed Hamel – Glencoe complex (Predominantly <br />Hydric) as the hydric soil type mapped within the site boundaries. Soil types mapped on and near <br />the property are listed in Table 2 and a map showing soil types is included in Figure 4. <br /> <br />Table 2. Soil types mapped on 2640 Watertown Rd Site <br />Symbol Soil Name Acres % of <br />Area <br />% <br />Hydric Hydric Category <br />L132A Hamel-Glencoe complex, 0 to 2 <br />percent slopes 1.7 76.0 90 Predominantly Hydric <br />L22D2 Lester loam, 10 to 16 percent <br />slopes, moderately eroded 0.4 16.9 0 Non-Hydric <br />L25A Le Sueur loam, 1 to 3 percent <br />slopes 0.2 7.0 15 Predominantly Non- <br />Hydric <br />L37B Angus loam, 2 to 6 percent <br />slopes 0.0 0.1 5 Predominantly Non- <br />Hydric <br /> <br />The Minnesota DNR Public Waters Inventory (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources <br />2015) showed no DNR Public Waters, Wetlands or Waterways within 1000 feet of the site <br />(Figure 5). <br /> <br />The National Hydrography Dataset (U.S. Geological Survey 2015) showed one Lake/Pond <br />approximately 300 feet east of the site and one stream/river 1,000 feet south of the site (Figure <br />6).
