The presettlemen;vegetation was maple-basswood forE�st in this area. The precipitation for the previous three months along with the comparison of the 1/25i1�4 precipitation worksheet data was as follows: Dec Nov Oct Worksheet(Wks) 1.26" 0.51* 3.68 ` = NW S Data 30% less than 0.62 0.86 1.36 30% more than 1.37 2.07 2.90 2010 Wks Interpret Normal Dry Wet Multi-month score (3"2) + (2"1) + (1"3) = 11 Norrrial (10 to 14 being Normal) The delineation was performed on January 25, 2014 and it is unlikefy the precipitation total:; in this period affected the boundary of any wetlands in this delineation, even though the period was wetter than normal. Precipitation data is located in Appendix A. This wetland delineation was performed and reported by Wayne Jacobson, Minnesota Profes�sional Soil Scientist#30611, Society of Wetland Scientists— Professional Wetland Scientist#1000, University of Minnesota/ BWSR Wetland Delineator, Certified #1019, American Fisheries Society—Associate Fisheries Scientist#A-171. Methodoloqv The wetlands on the subject property were delineated using the routine determination methodology set forth in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. Wetland boundaries were determined through a routine analysis of the vegetation, soils and hydrology which must all show wetland characteristics in order for an area to be delineated as a wetland. Wetlands are areas that�re saturated or inundated with surface and or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in hydric soil conditions. Examples of wetlands include seasonally flooded basins, floodplain forests, wet rneadows, shallow and deep marshes, shrub swamps, wooded swamps, fens, and bogs. Veqetation The plant species within the parcel were catalogued an� assigned a wetland indicator status according to the North American Digital Flora: National Wetland Plant List, version 2.4.0 (https://wetland plants.usace.armv.mi!). U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2009. In the text of this report and on the enclosed data forms, the plant indicator status follows the plant's scientific name unless a status has not been assigned. The hydrophytic plant criterion is met when more than 50 percent of the dominant species by the 50/20 rule for each stratum (herb, shrub/sapling, tree, and woody vine)were assigned an obligate (OBL)', facultat ve wet(FACW), and/or facultative (1=AC)wetland status. ' OBL=Obligate Wetlan�, occurs an estimated 99%in wetlands. FACW
