The growing season in 2Q13 appears to be late due to a cold weather pattem. <br /> This site is in ihe big woods subsection ecoregion according to flAinnesota DNR and the annual <br /> precipitation ave�ages 30.29 inches_ The presettiement vegetation was mapfe-basswood forest in this <br /> area. <br /> The precipitation for the previous three months along with the comparison of the 8/15l13 precipitation <br /> worksheet data was as follows: <br /> July June May <br /> Worksheet(Wks) 4.69 6.2$ 4.95 <br /> 30°� Iess ihan 2.55 2.87 2.40 <br /> 3Q°�6 more than 4.72 5.26 4.07 <br /> 2010 Wks Interpret Normal W�t Wet <br /> Multi-month score (3"2} + (2'3) + (1*3) = 15 Wet c�5 to 18 being wet) <br /> 7he delineation was performed on August 15, 2013 ancl it is unlikefy the precipitation totals in this period <br /> affected the boundary of any wetlands in this delineafion, even though the period was wetter than normal. <br /> Precipitation data is located in Appendix A. <br /> This wetland delineation was performed and reported by Wayne Jacobson, Minnesota Professional Soi! <br /> Scientist#30611, Society of Wetland Scientists— Professional Wetfand Scientist#1000, University of <br /> Minnesota 1 BWSR Wetland Delineator, Certified #101 G, American Fisheries Society—Associat� <br /> Fisheries Scientist#A-171. <br /> Methodolostv <br /> The wet�ands on the subject property were delineated �sing the rautine determinatian methodalogy set <br /> forth in the 1987 U.S.Army Corps of Engineers Wetlan�s Delrneafron Manusl. Wetland boundaries were <br /> determined through a routine a�alysis of the vegetabion, soils and hydrolagy which must all show wetland <br /> characteristics in order for an area ta be delineated as a wetland. <br /> Wetlands are areas that are saturated or inundated with surface and or groundwater at a nequency and <br /> duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circ:umstances da support, a prevalence of <br /> vegetation typically adapted for life in hydrEc soil canditicros, Examples of wetiands include seasonaAy <br /> flooded basins, flood�lain forests, wet meadaws, shallor�and deep marshes, shrub swamps, wooded <br /> swamps, fens, and bogs. <br /> Ve�etation <br /> The plant species within the parcel were catalagued and assigned a wetland indicator status according to <br /> the North American Digita!Flora: Nationa!Wetland Plar�f List, version 2.4.0 <br /> (h�s://wetland plants.usace.army,mi!).
