l f � <br /> � <br /> National Wetland Inventory(NWI)maps(Fiaure 2),Soil Suruey of Hennepin County maps(Figure <br /> 3:),Minnesota Protected Vdaters maps(Figure 4),and Z006 aerial photographs wererevie�vedprior to <br /> the site visit to identify areas that may be wetlands. .Areas illustrating evidence of wetland conditions <br /> were examined in ,b eater detail during the fieId suruey. Vegetation,�soils and hScdrology were <br /> . examined (as oufiined in the 1987 ManuaT) and used to characterize wetland types and d�termine <br /> wetland boundaries.Sample transects were established in r.epresentative wetland-to-upland transition <br /> zones in order Co characterize the vegetation,,soiis,.and hydrology of the site: Transects consisted of <br /> representative upland sample point(s) and representafive wetland sample point(sj. Information <br /> abtained from the sample �points can be found on rthe �eld data sheets located in The Technical <br /> Docuinentation Section. <br /> Wetland boundaries were marked at the site.by blaze-orange"wetlandboundary"flagging attached <br /> to 4-focit wooden lath orpin flags.Where vegetation was dense,to assistin locating the flagged lath <br /> (wetland. edge), a second piece of flagging was attached to a nearby tree or shrub branch. The <br /> "w.etland boundary"is considered to be fhe topogcaphically highest exfent of the wetland basin;areas <br /> � below the staked boundary met the threerequired wetland criteria while areas above were lacicing in <br /> one or•more of fhese criteria. <br /> Wetland alassification followed methads-described b��Cowardin et aI. (19Z9) and used in fhe 1VWI. <br /> . (e.g. PEMB, PSS`1C, etc:), campleted 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 indicator� � <br /> � statns of plants, as descrihed�in The Technical Documentation Section, was determined using the <br /> ' Nati.onal List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands—Region 3 (Sabine 1999): <br /> Resulfs are on the following page. <br /> Svoboda Ecological 12esources 80 WcarLane <br /> Project No::2007-50•03 ;:.3 Gaq�Desantis <br />
