The presettlement vegetation was maple-basswood forest in this <br /> area. <br /> The precipitation for the previous three months along with the comparison of the 5/1/13 precipitation <br /> worksheet data was as follows: <br /> April March Feb <br /> Worksheet(Wks) 5.60 1.64 1.05 <br /> 30% less than 1.55 1.16 0.41 <br /> 30% more than 3.10 1.99 0.89 <br /> 2010 Wks Interpret Wet Normal Wet <br /> Multi-month score (3*3) + (2"2) + (1"3) = 16 Wet(15 to 18 being wet) <br /> The delineation was performed on May 1, 2013 and it is unlikely the precipitation totals in this period <br /> affected the boundary of any wetlands in this delineation, even though the period was wetter than normal. <br /> Precipitation data is located in Appendix A. <br /> This wetland delineation was performed and reported by Wayne Jacobson, Minnesota Professional Soil <br /> Scientist#30611, Society of Wetland Scientists—Professional Wetland Scientist#1000, University of <br /> Minnesota/ BWSR Wetland Delineator, Certified #1019, American Fisheries Society—Associate <br /> Fisheries Scientist#A-171. <br /> Methodoloav <br /> The wetlands on the subject property were delineated using the routine determination methodology set <br /> forth in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands De/ineation Manual. Wetland boundaries were <br /> determined through a routine analysis of the vegetation, soils and hydrology which must all show wetland <br /> characteristics in order for an area to be delineated as a wetland. <br /> Wetlands are areas that are saturated or inundated with surface and or groundwater at a frequency and <br /> duration sufficient to support, and that under normaf circumstances do support, a prevalence of <br /> vegetation typically adapted for life in hydric soil conditions. Examples of wetlands include seasonally <br /> flooded basins, floodplain forests,wet meadows, shallow and deep marshes, shrub swamps, wooded <br /> swamps, fens, and bogs. <br /> VeQetation <br /> The plant species within the parcel were catalogued and assigned a wetland indicator status according to <br /> the North American Digital Flora: National Wetland P/ant List, version 2.4.0 <br /> (https://wetland planfs.usace.armv.mil).
