Plants were identified using standard regional plant keys. Taxonomy and indicator status of <br /> plant species was taken from the 2015 National Wetland Plant List (U.S. Army Corps of <br /> Engineers 2014. National Wetland Plant List, version 3.2, Engineer Research and Development <br /> Center, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Hanover, NH). <br /> III. RESULTS <br /> Review of NWI, Soils, DNR, and NHD Information <br /> The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) (Minnesota Geospatia] Commons 2009-2014 and U.S. <br /> Fish and Wildlife Service) showed a PEM1C wetland within the property (Figure 3). <br /> The Soil Survey (USDA NRCS 2015) showed Muske�o/Blue Earth/Houghton as the hydric soil <br /> types present within the review area. Soil types inapped on the property are listed in Table 2 and <br /> a map showing soil types is included in Figure 4. <br /> Table 2. Soil types mapped on the 1135 Heritage Lane Parcel <br /> Map unit <br /> symbol Map unit name Rating <br /> L2E Malardi-Hawick complex, 18 to 35 percent slopes Non-Hydric <br /> L16A Muskego, Blue Earth, and Houghton soils, ponded, 0 to 1 H dric <br /> percent slopes v <br /> L22C2 Lester loam, 6 to 10 percent slopes, moderately eroded Predominantly Non- <br /> Hydric <br /> The Minnesota DNR Public Waters Inventory(Minnesota Department of Natural Resources <br /> 2015) showed DNR Public Waters 27-865W within the property boundaries (Figure 5). <br /> The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (U.S. Geological Survey 2015) showed one <br /> lake/pond on the property (Figure 6). <br /> Wetland Determinations and Delineations <br /> Potential wetlands were evaluated in greater detail during field observations on April 6, 2016. <br /> One (1) wetland was identified and delineated within the subject parcel (Figure 2). <br /> Corresponding data for-ins 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 /> tiine precipitation totals were below normal based on available 30-day rolling precipitation data <br /> and nonnal based on the three-month antecedent conditions (January, February, March) <br /> (Appendix B). Vegetation was actively growing at the time of our site visit. <br /> � Wetland 1 was a Type 2/3 (PEM1B/PEM1C) wet meadow/shallow marsh dominated by <br /> Kentucky bluegrass, fowl bluegrass, reed canary grass and cattail that transitioned to open water. <br /> 3 <br />
