� Mueller Orono Parcel <br /> Number 99057WM <br /> � The National Wetlands Invento NWI identifies the resence of one basin PEM 1 n <br /> ry ( ) p ( /SS1C) o <br /> � the parcel that coincides with the Basin 1. No wetland was identified at the location of the <br /> ditched drainageway. <br /> 1 The Soil Survey of Hennepin County identifies the soils in the area. This information is <br /> provided on the Data Forms located in the back of the report. <br /> � Ed�e Descriptions <br /> � Basin 1 was a Type 1,2 wetland (PEM 1 A/B) located in the southwestern portion of the parcel, <br /> dominated by reed canary grass with some black willow and box elder trees and common eider <br /> shrubs were along the fringe. <br /> , The adjacent upland was dominated by bigtooth aspen and cottonwood trees; red elder, and <br /> common buckthorn shrubs; and Canada bluegrass, great burdock, ground iv_y, smooth brome <br /> � �round cover. <br /> Boz elder and Green ash trees; common elderberry, and garlic mustard were observed along the <br /> � edge. <br /> South of this basin is an area significantly higher in elevation than Basin 1. Some reed canary <br /> � grass was observed here, but the ground showed evidence of disposal of organic material <br /> ("lumpy" terrain, about the size of decomposed truckloads of organic material). Since this area <br /> is adjacent to the Highway 12 corridor, it would not be surprising to discover that this area may <br /> � have been used as a disposal site for some organic material from during construction of the <br /> highway. <br /> � A reed canary grass monoculture on high ground is commonly what happens after organic <br /> material is deposited on the landscape. With the higher elevation (and lower elevation around it) <br /> it is unlikely that this reed canary grass patch meets the hydrology criterion. <br /> � Basin D1 was a ditched drainageway that does not appear to be wetland based on steep slopes <br /> and lack of vegetation within the basin. If it were considered wetland it would be a Type I basin <br /> � (PEM 1 A) located in the southeastern portion of the parcel. Only a few reed canary grass plants <br /> were observed within the basin. <br /> � The adjacent upland was dominated by bigtooth aspen and cottonwood trees; red elder, and <br /> common buckthorn shrubs; and Canada bluegrass, great burdock, ground ivy, smooth brome <br /> �round cover. <br /> 1 Box elder and Green ash trees; common elderberr and >arlic mustard were observed alon�J the <br /> Y> � � <br /> ed�e. <br /> , <br /> � Co n�ri *ht C 1999, A uatic Eco 1 � <br /> } _ � q So uttons, Inc.
