Sullivan Property Modified Level 1 Wetland Delineation Report and No-Loss Application <br /> boundary in the area near the setback measurement was found to be quite abrupt during the <br /> September 16, 2016 field review. <br /> Wetland boundaries were identified as the upper-most extent of wetland that met criteria for <br /> hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology. Because this delineation used a <br /> modified Level 1 method and the ground was frozen during the January 9, 2017 site visit, <br /> detailed data on soils, vegetation, and hydrology were not collected in the field. <br /> The building setback from the wetland edge was measured in the field. The wetland boundary <br /> was interpreted and mapped using 2016 aerial photography, field knowledge, soils mapping, and <br /> Lidar topographic mapping. <br /> 4. RESULTS <br /> 4.1 Review of NWI, Soils, Public Waters and NHD Information <br /> The National Wetlands Inventorv (NWI) (Minnesota Geospatial Commons 2009-2014 and U.S. <br /> Fish and Wildlife Service) shows one PUBGx (Palustrine unconsolidated bottom, intermittently <br /> exposed, excavated) wetland located on the eastern part of the property (Figure 4). This wetland <br /> is more accurately classified as a PEMB/L 1 UB4x (Palustrine, emergent, saturated/Lacustrine, <br /> limnetic, unconsolidated bottom, organic, excavated) basin. <br /> The Soil Survev (USDA NRCS 2015) showed that soil types on the property ranged from <br /> predominantly non-hydric to hydric. Soil types mapped on the property are shown on Figure 5 <br /> and listed in Table 2. <br /> Table 2.

DNR Public Waters Wetland 27-858W is located about <br /> 300 feet east of the property boundary. <br /> The Natioilal Hvdro�rapliy Dataset(U.S. Geological Survey 2015) shows no NHD waters or <br /> flowlines onsite. The nearest NHD Waterbody is the DNR Wetland that is located about 300 <br /> feet east of the property. <br /> 3 <br />
