Wetland boLindaries were marked at the site by blaze-orange"wetland boundary"flagging attached <br /> to 4-foot wooden lath. Where vegetatzon was dense, to assist in locating the flagged lath (wetland <br /> edge), a second piece of flagging was attached to a nearby tree or shrub branch. The "wetland <br /> boundary" is considered to be the topographically highest extent of the wetland basin; areas below <br /> . ihe staked boundary met the three required wetland criteri�while areas above were lacking in one or <br /> more of these criteria <br /> Wetland classification followed methods described by Cowardin et al. (1979) and used in the NWI <br /> (e,g. PEMB, PSS1C, etc.), completed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Circular 39 <br /> classification (Shaw and Fredine 1956) is also given (e,g. Type 1, Type 2...etc.). The inclicator <br /> status of plan�s, as described in Appendix B, was determined using the Nc�tion�l List of Plant Species <br /> TI2at Occcer in Wetlands—Region 3 (Sabine 1999). <br /> ��iJ�.�'S AnTI) D�S�I7SSIOI� <br /> 13ackgroun.d Information- (O�ce-Bc�sed Investigatiorz) <br /> The NWI map (Excelsior Quadrangle) illustrates one wetland basin (Figure 2) within the subject <br /> parcel. The wetland basin is classified as palustrine(P)type wetland exhibiting emergent vegetation <br /> (EM) with a seasonally flooded hydrologic regime (C) partially drained or ditched (d), or a Type 2, <br /> ;'EMCd wetland on the NWI map. <br /> The Soil Survey of He�anepiri CoLCnty, Figure 3, indicates six soil series present on the subject <br /> property. These soil series are: Glencoe, Hamel, ]Kilkenny, Klossner, Le Sueur, and Lester (5ee <br /> Figure 3). The Glencoe, Hamel, and Klossner soil series are classified as hydric soils (SCS�Iyd.r-ic <br /> Soils of the United States), and are illustrated with blue crosshatching on Figure 3. Soil series <br /> descriptions are given iri Appendix C. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, State <br /> Protected Waters Map (Public Water.Inventory), indicates no protected water bodies within the <br /> subject parcel (Figure 4). <br /> � Site Visit <br /> SER personnel examined the subj ect property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria during <br /> the site visit. One wetland meeting the jurisdictional criteria of a wetland,for which a boundary was <br /> determined and delineaked, was staked. l�etailed soils, vegetation, and hydrology data for the <br /> � delineated wetland is provided in the data sheets of Appendix A. <br /> �W�tll�n�l ll <br /> �Jpon coinpletion of the wetland delineation it has been determined that �1Vetland 1 is a 'Y'ype 2, <br /> palus trine (�') type wetland exhibiting emergent vegetation(EM)and a seasonally flooded hydrologic <br /> regime(C) uartially drained or ditched(d),or a P�A/l�Cd wetiand.
