eastem edge of the parcel, and Lake Minnetonka, which is located on the southern edgc of thc <br /> parcel,are adjacent to the property boundary(Figure 4). <br /> Site V'�sit <br /> SER ecologists examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria <br /> during the site visit The areas meeting the jurisdictional criteria of a wetland were flagged, and <br /> boundaries were determinec3 and delineated. The approximate wetland boundaries are outlined in <br /> yelIow(Figures 5 and 6). <br /> Accumulated precipitation since the 4/27/15 and 5/6/15 sampling dates both show field work <br /> was conducted under slighdy dry conditions, according the Minnesota Climatology Working <br /> Group. The months of January, February, March, and April received rainfall totals of 0.42", <br /> 0.36", 0.80" and 1.70", respectively. All rainfall totals for these four months are considered <br /> below normal precipitation conditions. As af April 30, 2015 tfie Chanhassen weather station <br /> reported precipitation from March 1,2015 to Agri127, 2415 as being 0.99"below normal. <br /> Wetia�d Basin 1 on this parcel is a fringe PE�1, �+pe 3/4, Shallow/Deep .Vlatsh located adjacent <br /> to Tanager Lake. Wetlanci Basin 1 has a lobe that once was part of Tanager Lake but is now <br /> separated from the lake by an access trail to the docks. This lobe is similar in condition to the <br /> transect at SP 1. The wetland vegetation at wetland sample 1-2 Wet is dominated by river bulrush <br /> (Schoenoplectus fluviatilis OBL) in the herbaceous layer and common buckthorn (Rhamrtus <br /> cathartica FAC} in the Sapling/Stuub stratum. No vegetation in the tree stratum located at the <br /> same elevation is present. There is a noticeable vegetation break in the herbaceous layer, with an <br /> abrupt end in river bulrush, changing to upland vegetation beginning at the toe of the <br /> degressional area where a hillslope begins. This herbaceous upland vegetation is dominated by <br /> common buckthorr► (Rhamnus cathartica FAC}, white clover (FACL�, and smooth brome <br /> (Bromus inermrs FACU} as well as white oak (Que�u,s alba FACL� and American basswood <br /> (Tilia americarra FACiJ) in the tree stratum. Because of the relationship between landscape <br /> pasition and appearance of upland herbaceous vegetation, the wetland boundary was flagged <br /> based on both the topography and presence of upland vegetation. <br /> Sample point 1-1 Wet was taken near the edge of Tanager Lake at the bottom of a hill. The soils <br /> at sample point 1-1 Wet consist of clay for the entirety of the sample. Depleted soils werc found <br /> at a depth of 12 inches, meeting hydric soil indicator Al2 {Thick I}ark Surface). The soils at <br /> sample point 1-] Up were collected on the hillslope appmximately 3 feet higher in elevation than <br /> the wetland boundary. Soils at this location consist of sandy clay to a depth of 14 inches before <br /> transitioning to clay loam. Redox features are present beginning at the surface but do not meet <br /> any hydric soil indicators due to the high chroma and value of the matrix. <br /> Wetland hydrology are present at sample point 1-1 Wet as evidenced by thc secondary indicators <br /> D2 (Geamarphic Position) and DS (FAC-Neutra! Test). At the sample point 1-1 Up, no <br /> hydrology indicators are present. <br /> Wetland Basin 2 on this parcel is classified as a PFO1, Type 1 seasonally flooded basin wetland. <br /> The south side of this basin is pressed against a significant hill, while the north edge of the <br /> depression possesses a small lip, approximaiely 6 inches to 1 foot higher than the low-tying area <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resoiuces 3 17U0 Shorzlme Dr <br /> Project Number: 2015-004-03 Omno,MN <br />
