The growing season in 2011 appears to be extended due to a warm weather <br /> pattern. : <br /> This site is in the big woods subsection ecoregion according to Minnesota DNR and the annual <br /> precipitation averages 29.97 inches. The presettlement vegetation was maple-basswood forest in this <br /> area. <br /> The precipitation for the previous three months along with the comparison of the 10/18/11 precipitation <br /> worksheet data was as follows: <br /> Sep Aug Jul <br /> Worksheet(Wks) 0.26" 427` 5.38* ''- Data from NWS <br /> 30% less than 2.19 2.81 2.47 <br /> 30% more than 4.09. 4.81 4.62 <br /> 2010 Wks Interpret Dry � � Normal Wet <br /> Multi-month score (3"`1) + (2"'2) + (1'3) = 10 Normal (10 to 14 being normal) <br /> �, The delineation was performed on October 18, 2011 and it is unlikely the precipitation totals in this period <br /> affected the boundary of any wetlands in this delineation, since the period was normal. Precipitation data <br /> is located in Appendix A. <br /> This wetland delineation was performed and reported by Wayne Jacobson, Minnesota Professional Soil <br /> Scientist#30611, Society of Wetland Scientists—Professional Wetland Scientist#1000, University of <br /> Minnesota/ BWSR Wetland Delineator, Certified#1019, American Fisheries Society—Associate <br /> Fisheries Scientist#A-171. <br /> Methodoloqv � , <br /> The wetlands on the subject property were delineated using the routine determination methodology set <br /> forth in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. Wetland boundaries were <br /> determined through a routine analysis of the vegetation, soils and hydrology which must all show wetland <br /> characteristics in order for an area to be delineated as a wetland. <br /> Wetlands are areas that are saturated or inundated with surface and or groundwater at a frequency and <br /> duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of <br /> vegetation typically adapted for life in hydric soil conditions. Examples of wetlands include seasonafly <br /> flooded basins, floodplain forests, wet meadows, shallow and deep marshes, shrub swamps, wooded <br /> swamps, fens, and bogs. <br /> Veqetation <br /> The plant species within the parcel were catalogued and assigned a wetland indicator status according to <br /> the National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands: Norfh Central Region 3(USFWS Biological <br /> Report 88(26.3), May 1988). <br /> Wetland Delineation-Mitigation-Permit�ing-Monitoring-Banking-Functional Analysis-T& E Surveys 2 <br /> Phase I Environmental Assessments-EAW's-Soil ID-Soil Analysis & Delineation-Environmental Referrals <br /> Pond & Lake Weed Control & Fish Stocking-Tree Surveys-Natural Resource Management Plans <br />
