� <br /> � Wetland Delineation Report � � <br /> � Orono, MN <br /> BES Project No. 2015-040 <br /> � July 31, 2015 <br /> � <br /> ! dominanc�test and had a prevalence index of 3.36. The upfanc!soils consisted of more than <br /> 25 inches of N 2/0 loam and cfay loam (Al2}. The water table was abserved at a dep#h of 16 <br /> 1 inches and saturated soil was at a depth,of 13 inches in the upland soil pit. There were no <br /> � we�and hydrology indicators obssrved at the upland sampling point. The wetland boundary <br /> ' was generally staked along a topographic break and a change in the piant community. <br /> � Wetlands C and D <br /> � <br /> � We#lands C and D are a depressional basin along the no�thwest property boundary. The <br /> � wetland baundary migrates off-site and then badc on to form two lobes of wetland. On-site the <br /> � wetlands are mowed and main#ained as lawn areas. The wetland is a Palustrine, Emergent, <br /> � Temporarily, (PEMA}fresh wet meadow. Off site to the north the basin is a Palustrine, <br /> � Emergent, Seasonally Flooded, (PEMC) shailow marsh. Sampie point SG1 is dominated by <br /> � reed canary grass, Kentucky bluegrass and lake sedge {Car+ax lacustris). The vegetation <br /> community met the dominance test and had a prevalence index of 1.85. Off-site the basin was <br /> � dominated by cattails. Soils in the wetland consisted of more than 1$ inches of N 2/0 loam and <br /> ► clay Ioam (Al2). SurFacs water{A1) up to six inches deep was ot�served in the basin. The <br /> � water table was not observed in the wetland soil pit but the soil was saturated ta the surface <br /> , (A3). The other wetland hydrology indicators observed in the wetland included geomorphic <br /> position (D2) and a positive FAC-neutraf test(D5). The adjacent upland vegetation was <br /> sampled on a slight topographic rise. Sample point SC-2 is dominated by red cedar(Juniperus <br /> vir�iniana), Kentudcy bluegrass, and brome grass. The vegetation community did no# meet the <br /> dominance test and had a prevafence index of 3.49. The upland soils cansisted of more than <br /> 22 inches c7f N 2/0 loam and clay loam (Al2). The water tabie was observed at a dep#h of 94 <br /> indies and saturated soil (A3)was at a depth of 11 inches in the upland soil pit. The wetland <br /> hydrology indicators observed at the upland sampling point may be a reflection of the recen# <br /> heavy rain events. The wetland boundary was generally staked along a slight topographic <br /> break and a change in the plant community. <br /> Wetland E <br /> Wetland E is a sight depressional basin in the central part of the property_ The wetland is a <br /> Palustrine, Emergent, TemporaEly Flooded, (PEMA)fresh wet meadow. Sample point SE-1 is <br /> dominated by reed canary grass. The vegetation community me#the dominanoe #est and had a <br /> prevalenee index of 2.10. Soils in the wetland consisted of more than 16 inches of N 2/0 loam <br /> and clay loam (Al2). Surface water(A1} up to 1 inches deep was observed in the basin. The <br /> water table was not observed in the wetland soil pit but the soil was saturated to the surface <br /> (A3). The other wetland hydrology indicator observed in the wetland included a positi�e FAC- <br /> neutral test (D5). The adjacent upland vegetation was sampled on a slight topographic rise. <br /> Sample point SE-2 is dominated by Ke�tucky bluegrass, and timothy grass (Phleum pratense), <br /> The vegetation community dfd not meet#he dominance test and had a prevalence index of 3.50. <br /> The upfand soils consisted of more than 20 inches of N 2/0 loam and clay loam (A'f2), The <br /> water table was observed at a depth of 94 inches and saturated soil was at a depth of 14 inches <br /> 3 <br />
