Riverine wetland: (8420.0110, subp.43) A riverine wetland is a wetland contained in the banks of a <br /> channel that may contain moving water or that forms a connecting link between two bodies of <br /> standing water. <br /> Shoreland wetiand:-(8420.0110, subp. 44a) A shoreland wetland is a wetland located along the <br /> shoreline of a lake or edge of a deepwater habitat. <br /> Tributary wetland: (8420.011�, subp. 48) A tributary wetland has a well-def ned outlet but is <br /> lacking a defined inlet. <br /> Other: A wetland that does not fit into one of the three previously mentioned groups. <br /> 4.1.3 Circular 39 Wetland Classification <br /> The Wetlands of the United States was published in 1959 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and is <br /> commonly referred to as "Circular 39" (Shaw and Fredine, 1959). The Circular 39 Classification <br /> System was the first method that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service used to classify wetland basins in <br /> the LT.S. It is composed of 20 wetland types of which 9 are found in Minnesota. Wetland plant <br /> -� community types and some common vegetation found in each wetland type are provided in Table G1 <br /> ` - (Appendix C). A general description of each wetland type is provided below. <br /> 4.1.3.1 Type 1: Seasonally Fiooded Basin, Floodplain Forest <br /> Soil is covered with water or is waterlogged during variable seasonal periods but usually is <br /> well-drained during much of the growing season. This type is found both in upland depressions and <br /> in overflow bottomlands. In uplands, basins or flats may be filled with water during periods of heavy <br /> rain or melting snow. � <br /> Vegetation varies greatly according to season and duration of flooding: from bottomland hardwoods <br /> to herbaceous plants. VJhere the water has receded early in the growing season, smartweeds, wild <br /> millet, fall panicum,redroot cyperus, and weeds (i.e. marsh elder, ragweed, and cockleburs) are <br /> likely to occur. Shallow basins that are submerged only very temporarily usually develop little or no <br /> wetland vegetation. <br /> \�f'red\wp�23�27�D06\Reports�Final Report\WeHand_mgmt�lan_dft011503.doc 4-3 <br />
