MATTHEW HEMSLEY RESOURCE REVIEW Resource Review The following resources were reviewed to supplement the wetland field delineation: National Wetlands Inventory: The National Wetlands Inventory (Appendix A. Figure 2) identifies one PEM1C/PABG wetland complex within the project area. USDA- Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey: Soil Survey data for Hennepin County, MN were obtained and reviewed prior to the delineation. Table 1 provides a list of the mapped soils within the investigation area. Figure 3 in Appendix A contains a map of the soil units with percent hydric components.

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory: The MN DNR PWI for Hennepin County, MN (Appendix A. Figure 4) identifies Ferndale Marsh (27085200) within the parcel. Antecedent Precipitation Data: An analysis of the University of Minnesota Climatology Working Group's 30 day rolling precipitation data for the previous three months(Appendix D) indicate that precipitation totals for previous weeks were below the normal monthly range for this project area. Hydrologic conditions were suitable for completing an accurate wetland determination and boundary delineation. WETLAND ASSESSMENT 649 FERNDALE RD ORONo, MN APRIL 2017
