; <br /> setbacks would apply. Protected wetlands are further defined as follows: <br /> (1) Type 1--Seasonally flooded basins or floodplains:Type 1 wetlands are seasonally <br /> flooded basins or flats in which soil is covered with water or is waterlogged during <br /> variable seasonal periods but usually is well-drained during much of the growing season. <br /> , Type 1 wetlands are located in depressions and in overflow bottom lands along water <br /> courses. Vegetation varies greatly according to the season and duration of the flooding, <br /> and includes bottom land hardwoods, as well as herbaceous plants. <br /> (2) Type 2—Inland fresh meadow:Occurs along the shallow edges of lakes, marshes and <br /> floodplains, or in perched depressions. The soil is usually without standing water during <br /> much of the growing season, but is waterlogged within at least a few inches of the <br /> surtace. Vegetation includes grasses, sedges, rushes and various herbaceous plants. <br /> (3) Type 3—Inland shallow fresh marsh: Soil is usually water logged during the growing <br /> season, often covered with as much as six inches or more of water. Vegetation includes <br /> grasses, bulrushes, cattails, arrowheads, smartweeds and other emergent aquatic <br /> vegetation. <br /> (4) Type 4--Inland deep fresh marsh:Soil covered with six inches to three feet or more of <br /> water during growing season.Vegetation includes cattails, reeds, bulrushes and wild rice. <br /> * • Open water areas may contain pondweeds;�naiads, coontail, water milfoils and other , <br /> submergent aquatic vegetation. <br /> (5) Type 5--Infand open fresh water.•Water is usually less than ten feet deep and is fringed <br /> by a border of emergent vegetation. Vegetation includes pondweeds, naiads, coontail, <br /> water milfoils and other submergent aquatic vegetation. . <br /> (6) Type 6—Shrub swamp:Occurs along sluggish streams or on floodplains. The soil is <br /> usually waterlogged during the growing seasorr, and is often covered with as much as six <br /> inches of water.Vegetation includes alder, willow and dogwood. <br /> (7) Type 7--Wooded swamp:Occurs along sluggish streams, on floodplains, on flat perched <br /> depressions and in shallow lake basins. The soil is waterlogged to within a few inches of <br /> its surface during the growing season and is often covered with as much as one foot of <br /> water. Vegetation typical to this wetland includes tamarack, white cedar, black spruce, <br /> balsam fir, red maple and black ash. <br /> (8) Type 8--Bog:Occurs along sluggish streams, on flat perched depressions and shallow <br /> lake basins.The soil is waterlogged and supports a spongy covering of mosses. <br /> Vegetation typical to this wetland type includes sphagnum moss, heath shrubs and <br /> sedges. Minnesota bogs contain leatherleaf, Labrador tea, cranberries and pitcher plants. <br /> Scattered stunted black spruce and tamarack also are common features of bogs. <br /> (Ord.

Boundaries of the wetland overlay districts and designation of official city wetland <br /> map. <br /> This section establishes wetland overlay districts.These districts are subject to additional <br /> requirements beyond those required by the WCA. The boundaries of the wetland overlay districts are <br /> identified graphically on the official city wetland map (CWM)which is hereby adopted by reference, a <br /> copy of which shall be kept on file in the office of the city clerk and shall be available for public review <br /> during all normal office hours.Wetlands in addition to those shown on the city wetland map may exist, <br /> and may be identified by wetland delineations under WCA rules. If a specific wetland delineation has <br /> been done under WCA rules, then the boundaries of the wetland overlay district for that location will be as <br /> shown in the delineation. The city may require wetland delineations to determine compliance with WCA <br /> � <br />
