The NWI identified the western wetland as PF06Cd. The wetland is mainly an emergent <br /> herbaceous marsh that does have some wooded areas along the edges and to the south. T'he <br /> wetland would likely better be categorized as PEM/F06Cd. Vegetation in the seasonally <br /> inundated wetland was dominated by cattail (likely both Typha latifolia OBL and Typha X glauca <br /> OBL) and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea FACW) around the edges as well as red osier <br /> dogwood (Cornus sericea FACW) around some edges. Transition to uplands is marked by slope <br /> or beginning of more robust woodlands. <br /> Transect SP 1-1 was taken from the east side of the western wetland roughly where the ditch <br /> connects to the wetland. The soils at sample point SP 1-1 Wet consisted of a mucky loam at the <br /> surface with loamy clay and other clay layers beneath. Hydric indicators A10 (2 cm Muck) and <br /> Al2 (Thick Dark Surface) were present. The soils at sample point SP 1-1 Up consisted of layers <br /> of loam at the surface with silty layers below. Hydric indicator F6 (Redox Dark Surface) was <br /> present. <br /> At sample point SP 1-1 Wet hydrology indicator C7 (Thin Muck Surface) and secondary <br /> indicator D2 (Geomorphic Position) were present. Wetland hydrology was not indicated at <br /> sample point SP 1-1 Up. <br /> Wetland 2 is identified by the NWI as PEMC. The seasonally inundated wetland is an emergent <br /> herbaceous depression. The transition to upland can be marked as the canarygrass gives way to <br /> woodland. <br /> The transect SP 2-1 was taken from the northeast side of the western portion of the seasonally <br /> inundated wetland. The soils at sample point SP 2-1 Wet consisted of a muck loam at the surface <br /> with loams and clays beneath. Hydric indicators A10 (2 cm Muck) and Al2 (Thick Dark <br /> Surface)were present. Surface water was present at this point and the water table was at 2 inches <br /> and saturation at 0 inches. The soils at sample point SP 2-1 Up consisted of several loamy layers. <br /> Hydric indicatorAl2 (Thick Dark Surface)was present. <br /> At sample point SP 2-1 Wet hydrology indicator C7 (Thin Muck Surface) and secondary <br /> indicators D2 (Geomorphic Position) and DS (FAC-Neutral) were present. Wetland hydrology <br /> was not indicated at sample point SP 2-1 Up. <br /> A constructed ditch connecting the two wetlands through obvious upland was also flagged and <br /> designated as a ditch. <br /> The site contains many huge boulders of unknown origin as well as numerous patches of reed <br /> canary grass scattered throughout the upland area. It appears that a mobile home site may have <br /> been present just off the parcel to the southwest. A formerly metered power outlet pedestal was <br /> observed at that location. <br /> The presence of scattered reed canary grass throughout the site suggests the possible disposal of <br /> silty soil across the property at some time in the past,perhaps as topsoil augmentation. <br /> Detailed soils, vegetation, and hydrology data for the delineated jurisdictional wetlands are <br /> provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documents section. <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resources 3 835 Hunt Fazm Rd <br /> Project Number: 2013-040 Orono MN <br />
