No. 2006-57 <br /> Project Location: City of Orono, <br /> NW'/.of NE '/4 Section 4 <br /> T117N, R23W <br /> Project Description: Wetland Delineation Report <br /> Dear Jeff: <br /> As discussed, Jacobson Environmental, PLLC. (JE}visited the above referenced site to perform <br /> an official wetland delineation in accordance with the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers <br /> Wetland Delineation Manual. <br /> Adjacent site use includes wetlands, woodland, and residential. <br /> This parcel is a combination of a residence, a lawn, a old field, and a wetland. Figure 1 is a site <br /> location map of the property. All figures referenced by this report are presented at the end of the <br /> text. <br /> The purpose of this study was to investigate the project area, identify areas meeting the technical <br /> criteria for wetlands, delineate the jurisdictional extent of the wetland basins and classify the <br /> wetland habitat. <br /> This wetland delineation was performed on July 24, 2006 by Wayne Jacobson, Minnesota <br /> Professional Soil Scientist#30611, Society of Wetland Scientists— Professional Wetland Scientist <br /> #1000, University of Minnesota!BWSR Wetland Delineator, Certified#1019, American Fisheries <br /> Society—Associate Fisheries Scientist#A-171. <br /> Methodoloqy <br /> Topographic maps, National Wetlands Inventory maps, the Hennepin County Soil Survey, and <br /> DNR Protected Waters maps were consulted to locate potential wetland habitats. <br /> The hydric soil assessment procedure of the Routine On-site Determination Method was used on <br /> this site. In this method, the following procedures were used: <br /> 1) The vegetative community was sampled in all present strata to determine <br /> whether 50% of the dominant plant species were hydrophytic. <br /> 2) Soil pits were dug using a dutch auger to depths of 18"-36", noting soil profile and <br /> any hydric soil characteristics. <br /> 1 <br />
