At least one sample point transect crosses <br /> each delineated wetland edge. These transects consist of an upland sample point, and a wetland sample <br /> point. Other sample points may be located in areas which have one or more of the wetland vegetation, <br /> soils, or hydrologic characteristics present, or where questionable conditions exist. Sample points are <br /> marked with orange pin flags with a pink ribbon tied on them. Sample data sheets are found in Appendix <br /> B. <br /> ,.,,. Results �, <br /> Basin 1 <br /> Basin 1 is a PEMBd Type 2 wet meadow comprised of 96% reed canarygrass, 1% common buckthorn, <br /> . 1% bittersweet nightshade, and 1% giant goldenrod, along with a few other species. The wetland <br /> boundary was typically a transition from common buckthorn to reed canarygrass with a topographic <br /> break. The soils changed from dry Hamel soil to saturated Hamel soil in the wetland. Soil saturation was <br /> present in the wetland, and hydrology disappeared in the upland. <br /> Basin 2 <br /> Basin 2 is a PEM/SS1 Bd Type 2/6 wet meadow/shrub swamp comprised of 10% sandbar willow as <br /> shrubs, 97% reed canarygrass, and 1% bittersweet nightshade with a few other species. The wetland <br /> boundary was typically a transition from smooth brome to reed canarygrass with a topographic break. <br /> The soils changed from Lerdal upland soil to Hamel soil in the wetland. Soil saturation was present in the <br /> wetland, and hydrology disappeared in the upland. <br /> The National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) (Figure 2) identifies the two wetlands flagged on the subject <br /> site. <br /> According to the DNR Protected Waters Map (PWI) (Figure 4) of Hennepin County the site has no public <br /> waters on the site. Figure 5 shows the wetlands present on-site. Figure 6 is a parcel map of the . <br /> wetlands. <br /> According to the Web Soil Survey (Figure 3)the following hydric soils existed on the parcel: <br /> Hamel <br /> Photographs were taken of the site and some are included in Appendix C. <br /> Confirmation of Jurisdictional Status <br /> We are submitting this report to the client and regulatory agencies to request a wetland boundary and <br /> type determination. We have enclosed an official WCA Approval of Wetland Type and Boundary form in <br /> Appendix D along with a USCOE wetland delineation concurrence request. <br /> Wetland Delineation-Mitigation-Permitting-Monitoring-Banking-Functional Analysis-T& E Surveys 13 <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 />
