It is classified as a Type 1 wetland (Seasonally Flooded Flat) as <br />defined in Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (FWS <br />Publication 79/31; Cowardin et al) and Wetlands of the United States (USFWS <br />Circular 39; Shaw and Fredine 1971). Based on the 1987 Corps of Engineers <br />Wetland Delineation Manual, basin 1 is classified as a PEMIA (Palustrine <br />Emergent Persistent Temporarily Flooded) wetland. <br />Vegetation <br />1 <br />J <br />I <br />\ <br />] <br />J <br />I <br />1 <br />Soils <br />Observed vegetation, along the wetland boundary, consisted of golden-fiiiit sedge <br />Carex aiirea, a facultative wetland plus plant; American elm Ulmus americana, <br />a facultative wetland minus plant; common buckthorn Rhamnus cathartica, a <br />facultative upland plant; green ash Fraxiniis americana, a facultative wetland <br />plant; and Kentucky bluegrass Poa pratensis, a facultative minus plant. <br />Observed vegetation, within the delineated boundary, consisted golden-fruit <br />sedge, American elm, and common buckthorn. <br />Upland vegetation consisted of Kentucky bluegrass, American elm, green ash, <br />and zig-zag goldenrod Solidago Jlexicaulis, a facultative upland plant. <br />Soils were classified by the Hennepin County Soil Survey as Kilkenny loam with <br />6% to 12% slopes(ICkC) for this basin. The hydric soil component of Kilkenny <br />loam is the Glencoe soil inclusion. <br />Soils along the delineated boundary had an Al horizon that extended to a depth <br />of four inches. This soil was a clay loam that was colored as black (lOYR 2/1). <br />Beneath this Al horizon , to depth of at least 12 inches, laid an A2 horizon. This <br />horizon was black (lOYR 2/1) loamy clay. <br />SCHaEU.GLMAQSON,lNC. MINNETONKA, MINNESOTA ^
