4 to 16 inches. Below the 16 inch margin a peat/fibric layer was identified that emitted a <br /> strong sulfidic odor. <br /> Soils at the upland sample point were very dark gray loams at the surface with the same <br /> ; matrix color starting at 14 inches with 1 percent redoximorphic concentrations and clay <br /> loam textures. From 16 inches down to 22 inches the soils transitioned to black matrix <br /> colors with 5 percent redox concentrations and clay textures. <br /> ; Saturation was identified at 10 inches below the ground surface at the wetland point. <br /> Geomorphic position and a positive FAC-neutral test were also noted as secondary <br /> indicators. There were no hydrology indicators present at the upland sample location, <br /> however. <br /> SER delineated Wetland 1 as a Type 3,PEMF, Shallow Marsh wetland. <br /> . DISCUSSION <br /> ' SER completed all on-site delineations based on the three required technical criteria as outlined <br /> by the 1987 Manual: the presence of hydric soils, a predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, and <br /> indicators of wetland hydrology in each basin. The site visit portion of the wetland delineation <br /> was completed on November 22, 2011. <br /> SER personnel examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria <br /> during the site visit and delineated the edge of one wetland basin consisting of one wetland type <br /> � within the property boundary as being jurisdictional wetland (Figure 5). Detailed soils, <br /> vegetation and hydrology data for Wetland 1 is provided in the data sheets of The Technical <br /> Documentation Section. - <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> Activities which impact or potentially impact wetlands are currently regulated at several levels of <br /> government. In Minnesota, the two primary jurisdictions are covered at the state and federal <br /> levels by the provisions of the following legislative actions. <br /> ➢ State jurisdiction by the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA) administered <br /> ' by the WCA Local Governmental Unit(LGU). <br /> ➢ Federal jurisdiction by the Clean Water Act of 1972 and subsequent amendments. <br /> Wetland protection is implemented by the Corps of Engineers(Corps)with permit <br /> certification issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resources 25 Myrtlewood Rd. <br /> Project No.:2011-034 4 Steven&Anne Ryan <br />
