The site assessment was completed on February 3, 199S. <br />Review of Available Information <br />Before visiting the site I reviewed the National Wetland Inventory Map (Excel'ior <br />Quadrangle), the Heonepiu County Soil Survey, and the topographic map wliich you <br />provided to identify potential wetland areas. <br />The NWI map show’ed no wetlands on the property*. <br />The soil surv ey shewed the majority of the site as Hayden and Lester soils, with slopes <br />typically from 6 to 18 percent. These soil types ore not associated with wetland <br />conditions Small units of Hamel soils extend onto the property in the northeast and <br />southeast comers Hamel soils are commonly associated with wetlands when unaltered by <br />drainage. A narrow ftinge of sandy lake beach s tils are shown adjacent to Lake <br />N:Unnetonka. Sandy lake beach soils may be associated with lake fringe wetland or <br />shallow lake beaches <br />The topographic map indicates no depressional areas capable of developing wetland <br />conditions The site is steeply sloped and 'well drained. Apart from the lake shoreline, the <br />topographic map indicates no surface water on the she. <br />Evaluation of Site Conditions <br />The primary land uses on the property include a building she and associated mowed lawn, <br />and open grassy Geld (abandoned pasture), and steeply sloped wooded hillside adjacent to <br />Lake Minnetoi^a. The lawn is mowed and has been planted with commonly used trees <br />and shrubs No wetlands were associated w-ith the buildio^ and lawn <br />• • • <br />4T5? Richmond Fo*d, Mound.
