� , <br /> ,� , � <br /> I : <br /> � . . <br /> Introduction <br /> � The Remark Parcel delineation is located at 141 Chevy Chase Drive in Orono, MN <br /> 55391. The legal description of the project location is: A part of the SE 1/a of Section 36, <br /> T118N, R23W, Hennepin County, Orono, Minnesota. The parcel is a total of 0.66 acres <br /> �; (according to the Hennepin County Website). <br /> Methods <br /> � <br /> AEC utilized the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and <br /> � Midwest Regional Supplerrzent to perform the wetland delineation. A United States <br /> Geological Survey (USGS) Map (Excelsior Quad) (Figure 1), the Minnesota Department <br /> of Natural Resources (MN DNR) Public Water Inventory (PW� Map (Figure 2), the <br /> � Hennepin County Soil Survey Map (Figure 3), and the National Wetland Inventory <br /> (NWI) Map (Figure 4) were reviewed prior to the site visit and used in the delineation <br /> process. The delineated wetland boundaries (GPS located) are indicated on Figure 5 and <br /> � aze overlaid on a 2010 aerial image. AEC used the routine delineation method. <br /> , <br /> _., Wetland classification followed methods described by the USACOE - St. Paul District; <br /> Eggers and Reed "Wetland Plants and Plant Communities of MN and WI". The Circular <br /> "�' 39 and Cowardin et al. classifications are given as well. The indicator status of plants <br /> was determined using the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands — . <br /> �; Region 3 (Sabine 1999). In accordance with the Midwest Regional Supplement, the + <br /> and—have been removed from the vegetation indicator status. , <br /> (� Pink pinflags were used to delineate the wetlands and were numbered sequentially; <br /> flagging was hung from adjacent vegetation to aid in location of the pinflags. Sample <br /> � points were taken to document the vegeta.tion, soils, and hydrology indicators within <br /> � representative upland and wetland locations. <br /> Results <br /> c; <br /> Office Results <br /> ( ' Wetland 1 is indicated on the NWI map as a PEM/SS1C type wetland. Wetland 1 is <br /> ��... mapped in the Houghton soil series. The Houghton soil series is classified as a hydric <br /> soil (SCS Hydric Soils of the United States). Wetland 1 is indicated on the Minnesota <br /> Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory Map (PWI) as Basin# 828-W. <br /> Field Results <br /> I Wetland 1 <br /> t-� AEC classified Wetland 1 as a Shallow Marsh/Shrub-Carr (Type 3/6, PEMC/PSS1C) <br /> wetland. �Wetland 1 is dominated by a fringe of reed canary grass (Phalaris arutadinacea) <br /> � and jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) with cattails (Typha) throughout the ceniral portion <br /> of the basin; boxelder (Acer negundo), black willow (Salix nigra), red osier dogwood <br /> (Cornus stolonifera), and willow (Salix) species were observed along the periphery of the <br /> Lwetland. The adjacent upland area is dominated by Kentucky blue grass (Poa pratensis), <br /> ( 1 <br /> t_, <br />
