----------------------------------------~-~------- <br />RESULTS <br />Offsite Survey <br />The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), Excelsior quadrangle mapped one Palustrine, <br />emergent, seasonally flooded, and partially drained (PEMCd) wetland on the subject property <br />(Figure 1 ). Hydric soil areas approximately corresponded to the wetland indicated on the NWI <br />map and included Hamel and Marsh hydric soil types (Figure 2). The Minnesota Protected <br />Waters map for Hennepin County identified Long Lake Creek as a protected stream that flows <br />through the property (Figure 3). Precipitation for the year-to-date was (Figure 4). The aerial <br />photograph of the site was taken in 1991 (Figure 5). Several photos depict the current <br />co_ndition of the subject property (Figure 6). <br />Field Conditions <br />SER staff completed this delineation on October 14, 1998. Precipitation for the year to <br />date was 80 to 90-percent below normal for this area (Figure 4). The average temperature for <br />the week prior to our site visit was 49.8° and there was 0.07 11 of rain. We expected <br />hydrological conditions to be below normal because of the time of the year and because of <br />below average precipitation. SER staff considered this information when completing the <br />delineations. <br />Field Delineation <br />SER delineated two wetland basins on the subject property. One basin corresponds <br />with the basin mapped on the NWI quadrangle (Figure 1) the other was an area excavated to <br />create a small pond. Both basins occur in hydric soil areas according to the Hennepin County <br />Soil Survey (Figure 2). <br />Svoboda Ecological Resources <br />Project No.: 98-060-03 4 <br />Van Eeckh~t P~ef - <br />lvfr.
