2515 North Shore Drive, Orono MN Wetland Delineation Report <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />2017. 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) identified one PEM1C wetland within the site boundaries. An L2UBH <br />wetland was identified along the south site boundary (Figure 3). <br /> <br />The Soil Survey (USDA NRCS 2015) showed Tadkee-Tadkee depressional complex and <br />Muskego, Blue Earth, and Houghton soils as the hydric soil types mapped within the site <br />boundaries. All soil types mapped on the property are listed below in Table 3 and a map <br />showing soil types is included in (Figure 4). <br /> <br />Table 3.

One wetland was <br />identified and delineated on the property based on field observations (Figure 2). Corresponding <br />data forms are included in Appendix B. The following description of the wetland and the <br />adjacent upland reflects conditions observed at the time of the field visit. Herbaceous vegetation <br />had begun to grow and precipitation conditions were atypical (wet) based on the Precipitation
