Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. – 215 North Arm Lane & PINs 0611723240002 & 611723240021, Orono, MN <br /> <br />3 <br />All spatial data was collected in WGS84 and post-processed in ArcMap using Trimble Positions <br />Desktop Add-in. <br /> <br />RESULTS <br />MNR conducted the field survey of the Pass properties on April 9, 2024 and it is noted that the survey <br />area consists of a single-family residence with out-buildings, deciduous woodland/forest, upland <br />grassland, upland grassland with scattered red cedar, common buckthorn dominated shrubland, <br />three wetlands, and one linear water body. In total, four aquatic resources were mapped within the <br />site including three wetlands and one linear water body. <br />Wetlands <br />A total of three wetlands were mapped within the site (Appendix A, Figure 5). Below is a table that <br />summarizes the delineated wetlands by Circular 39 type, Cowardin classification, Eggers and Reed <br />Plant Community, and by size in acres followed by a general description for the single feature. <br />Additional information and photos pertaining to the documented wetland features are available in <br />the wetland determination forms provided in Appendix C. Included in Appendix D are the MnRAM <br />Classification and Site Response Reports for Wetlands 1-3. <br />Table 1.

This wetland extends off-site to <br />the northwest as a similar type wetland and is dominated primarily by reed canary grass. Within the <br />far southwestern part of Wetland 1 there appears to be areas of seepage discharge with very moist <br />to saturated soils observed. Located at the southern end of this wetland is a channel that drains the <br />wetland in a southernly direction. The DNR updated National Wetlands Inventory (June, 2013) maps <br />this wetland as a PEM1A wetland. The MN DNR Public Waters Inventory does not map any public <br />waters where Wetland 1 is located. <br />Wetland 2 <br />MnRAM: Manage 1 <br />Wetland 2 is a Type 2/3 (PEMD/C; Fresh Wet Meadow/Shallow Marsh) wetland located within the <br />eastern part of the survey area and is approximately 3.49-acres in area within the site. This wetland <br />extends off-site to the south as a similar type wetland. The fresh wet meadow community is <br />dominated primarily by reed canary grass with some lake sedge and the shallow marsh community <br />is dominated by cattail and lake sedge. Located in the northwest corner of this wetland is a channel <br />that drains water from Wetland 1. The DNR updated National Wetlands Inventory (June, 2013) maps <br />175
