WISCHMEIER PROPERTY RESOURCE REVIEW Resource Review The following resources were reviewed to supplement the wetland field delineation: National Wetlands Inventory: The National Wetlands Inventory(AppendixA. Figure 2)identifies one PUBG wetland within the project area. One large PABG/PEM1 C wetland complex is located adjacent to the project area to the east. 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. Table 1 -Summary of Mapped Soil Units within the Project Area Map Unit Hydric Soil Hydric Drainage %of Project Symbol Map Unit Name Rating(%) Soil Classification Area L22C2 Lester loam,6 to 10 percent slopes, 2 No Well Drained 67.7% moderately eroded L22E Lester loam, 10 to 22 percent slopes 0 No Well Drained 32.3°/a Hydric soils are defined in the Fie/d Indicators of Hydric Soi/s in the United States: Guide for ldentifying and Delineating Hydric Soi/s, version 7.0, 2010(NRCS,2010), The 1987 Manual, and The Regional Supp/ement (USACE, August 2010). Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory: The MN DNR PWI for Hennepin County, MN (Appendix A. Figure 4) identifies Lake Minnetonka-Lower, adjacent to the south boundary of 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 above the normal monthly range for this project area, but trending towards normal. Hydrologic conditions were suitable for completing an accurate wetland determination and boundary delineation. WETLAND ASSESSMENT 540 BIG ISLAND ORONo,MN MAY 2017
