I Basin 18 Basin 19 No hydrology was observed in the wetland basin. Hydrology was assumed based on soil indicators. Wetland 18 is a Type 2 (Inland Fresh Meadow) wetland. It is classified as a PEMB wetland (Palustrine Emergent Saturated). It is approximately 0.1 acres in size. Vegetation along the delineated boundary consists of American elm Ulmus americana (facultati wetland), common buckthorn Rhamnus cathartica (facultative upland), prickly ash Zanthoxylum americanum (facultative upland) and reed canary grass Phalaris arundinacea (facultative wetland). Vegetation inside the delineated boundary consists of sedge Carex spp. (facultative wetland) and reed canary grass. Vegetation on die upland side of the delineated boundary consist of smooth brome Bronnis inermis (facultative upland), goldenrod Solidago spp. (facultative upland), smooth sumac Rhus glabra (No indicator) and prickly ash. Hennepin County Soil Survey classifies basin 18 soils as Hamel loam. Hamel loams are found on the hydric soil list. VV^etland boundary soils were field identified as very dark gray (10 YR 3/1) sandy loair from 0 to 12 inches. Brown mottles appear at 11 inches. Soils inside the delineated boundary were field identified as very dark grayish brown (10 YR 3/2) with brown (10 YR 4/3) mottles from 0 to 12 inches. No hydrology was observed in basin 18. Hydrology is assumed based on the wetland drainage patterns and soil indicators. Wetland 19 is a Type 2 (Wet Meadow) wetland. It is classified as a PEMBd wetland (Palustrine Emergent Seasonally Flooded ditched). The system is a drainage ditch connecting two basins. It is approximately 0.03 acres in size. Vegetation along the delineated wetland boundar>- consists of common bucktliorn Rhanmus cathartica (facultative upland) and red oak Qiiercus rubra (facultative upland). SCHOELU B, MADSON, INC.
