Plants were identified using standard regional plant keys. Taxonomy and indicator status of plant <br /> species was taken from the 2016 National Wetland Plant List (U.S. Arn1y Corps of Engineers <br /> 2016. National Wetland Plant List, version 3.2, https://wetland�lants.usace.army.mil Engineer <br /> Research and Development Center, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, <br /> Hanover, NH). <br /> III. RESULTS <br /> Review of NWI, Soils, DNR, and NHD Information <br /> The National Wetlands Inventory(NWI) (Minnesota Geospatial Commons 2009-2014 and U.S. <br /> Fish and Wildlife Service) showed a PUBGx wetland within the property(Figure 3). <br /> The Soil Survey(USDA NRCS 2015) showed Hamel-Glencoe complex as the hydric soil type <br /> present within the review area. Soil types mapped on the property are listed in Table 2 and a <br /> map showing soil types is included in Figure 4. <br /> Table 2. Soil types mapped on the 1285 French Creek Drive Parcel <br /> Map unit Map unit name Rating <br /> symbol <br /> L4B Crowfark loamy sand, 1 to 6 percent slopes Non-Hydric <br /> L4C Crowfork loamy sand, 6 to 12 percent slopes Non-Hydric <br /> L61 C2 Lester-Metea complex, 6 to 12 percent slopes, predominantly Non-Hydric <br /> eroded <br /> L132A Hamel-Glencoe complex, 0 to 2 percent slopes Predominantly Hydric <br /> The Minnesota DNR Public Waters Inventory(Minnesota Department of Natural Resources <br /> 2015) showed no DNR waters onsite but DNR Public Waters 27-140-02P (French Marsh-South) <br /> within 1000' of the property (Figure 5). <br /> The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (U.S. Geological Survey 2015) showed one <br /> lake/pond within the property(Figure 6). <br /> Wetland Determinations and Delineations <br /> Potential wetlands were evaluated in greater detail during field observations on September 19, <br /> 2016. One (1) wetland was identified and delineated on the subject parcel (Figure 2). <br /> Corresponding data forms are included in Appendix A. The following description of the <br /> wetlands and adjacent upland reflects conditions observed at the time of the field visit. At that <br /> time precipitation totals were above typical based on available 30-day rolling precipitation data <br /> and wet based on the three-inonth antecedent conditions (June, July, August) (Appendix B). A <br /> survey of the delineation by E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc. is included in Appendix C. <br /> 3 <br />
