Wetland edges were marked with orange numbered pin flags. 4-foot wood lath marked with orange "wetland boundary" flagging tape or flagging tied on vegetation may be used if site conditions warrant. Any wetlands were mapped by others using modern survey methods. At least one sample point transect crosses each delineated wetland edge. These transects consist of an upland sample point, and a wetland sample point. Other sample points may be located in areas which have one or more of the wetland vegetation, soils, or hydrologic characteristics present, or where questionable conditions exist. Sample points are marked with orange pin flags with a pink ribbon tied on them. Sample data sheets are found in Appendix B. Results Basin 1 Basin 1 is a PEMAd Type 1 seasonally flooded basin with a shallow marsh on the south comprised of 90% reed canarygrass, 5% narrowleaf cattail,1%lake sedge, and 1% giant goldenrod, along with a few other species. The wetland boundary was typically a transition from kentucky bluegrass to reed canarygrass with a topographic break. The soils changed from dry Lester soil to saturated Hamel soil in the wetland. Soil saturation was present in the wetland, and hydrology disappeared in the upland. South Roadside Ditch There is a PEMAd Type 1 created ditched wet meadow comprised of 95% reed canarygrass, and 1% giant goldenrod with a few other species west of Basin 1 along McCulley Road which is a no loss non- jurisdictional area which was created as a result of road construction. The National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI)(Figure 2) identifies the large Basin 1 wettand flagged on the subject site. According to the DNR Protected Waters Map(PWI) (Figure 4) of Hennepin County there are no public waters on the site. Figure 5 shows the jurisdictional wetlands present on-site. Figure 6 is a parcel map of the area. According to the Web Soil Survey(Figure 3)the following hydric soils existed on the parcel: Hamel Photographs were taken of the site and some are included in Appendix C.
