STEPHEN KENNEDY RESOURCE 8� FIELD REVIEWS <br /> Resource Review <br /> The following resources were reviewed to supplement the wetland field delineation: <br /> National Wetlands Inventory: <br /> The National Wetlands Inventory (Appendix A. Figure 2) identifies one PEM1A wetland within the project <br /> area. <br /> USDA- Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey: <br /> The Soil Survey of Hennepin County, MN (Appendix A. Figure 3)does not identify any hydric soil within the <br /> project area. <br /> Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory: <br /> The MN DNR PWI for Hennepin County, MN (Appendix A. Figure 4) does not identify and public waters <br /> within the project area. Lydiard Lake is located west of the project area. <br /> Antecedent Precipitation Data: <br /> An analysis of the University of Minnesota Climatology Working Group's 30 day rolling precipitation data for <br /> the previous three months (Appendix D) indicate that precipitation totals for previous weeks were generally <br /> within the normal monthly range for this project area (precipitation data was not available for April 1 through <br /> April 13). Hydrologic conditions were suitable for completing an accurate wetland determination and <br /> boundary delineation. <br /> Field Review <br /> Wetland 1:Wetland 1 is a Type 2, PEMB, fresh wet meadow wetland. The wetland vegetation is dominated <br /> by reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinaces) with few lake sedge (Carex /acustris) and sandbar willow <br /> saplings(Salix interior). The underlying soils are mapped as Dundas and Lester loam. The investigated soil <br /> profile met the redox dark surface(F6)hydric soil indicator. Hydrology indicators observed include saturation <br /> at 10 inches (A2), geomorphic position (D2), and the FAC-Neutral Test(D5). There is a natural inlet on the <br /> west side of the depression and a natural outlet on the east side of the depression that appears to drain into <br /> a nearby pond. <br /> The upland buffer surrounding the wetland is a manicured lawn primarily vegetated with red fescue(Festuca <br /> rubra) and a few large river birch (Betula nigra). The transition between the upland and the wetland varies <br /> between relatively flat to gentle slopes. <br /> WETLAND ASSESSMENT <br /> 627 FERNDALE ROAD <br /> ORorvo, MN <br /> APRIL 2016 <br />
