U.S. Army <br /> Corps of Engineers,Engineer Research and Development Center, Cold Regions Research and <br /> Engineering Laboratory, Hanover,NH, and BONAP, Chapel Hill,NC.) <br /> III. RESULTS <br /> Review of Soils. NWI,and DNR Information <br /> The National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) (U.S. Fish& Wildlife Service) shows one <br /> PEMC/PEMF wetland within site boundaries (Figure 3). <br /> The Soil Survey of Hennepin County,Minnesota <br /> (http://soils.usda.gov/survey/geography/ssurgo/) showed the following soil types with or near <br /> site boundaries (Figure 4). Hydric soils are indicative of wetland conditions when undrained. <br /> Partially hydric soil may contain hydric soil inclusions. <br /> SMU Map unit name Rating <br /> L16A Muskego, Blue Earth, and Houghton soils,ponded, 0 to 1 percent All Hydric <br /> slo es <br /> L22C2 Lester loam, morainic, 6 to 12 percent slopes, eroded Partially Hydric <br /> L24A Glencoe loam, depressional, 0 to 1 percent slopes All Hydric <br /> L35A Lerdal loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes Partially Hydric <br /> L36A Hamel, overwash-Hamel complex, 1 to 4 percent slopes Partially Hydric <br /> L40B Angus-Kilkenny complex, 2 to 6 percent slopes Partially Hydric <br /> L41 C2 Lester-Kilkenny complex, 6 to 12 percent slopes, eroded Partially Hydric <br /> L41 E Lester-Kilkenny complex, 18 to 25 percent slopes Partially Hydric <br /> The DNR Protected Waters Map,Hennepin County (http://deli.dnr.state.mn.us� showed DNR <br /> Protected Water 133P (Lake Minnetonka)within site boundaries (Figure 5). According the <br /> DNR Lake Finder web page, Lake Minnetonka has and Ordinary High Water Level (OHW)of <br /> 924.4 ft msl. <br /> Wetland Determinations and Delineations <br /> Potential wetlands were evaluated in greater detail during field observations on August 24, 2012. <br /> Two wetlands were identified and delineated on the subject site(Figure 2). Corresponding data <br /> forms are included in Appendix A. The following description of the wetlands and adjacent <br /> upland reflects conditions observed at the time of the field visit. At that time, herbaceous <br /> vegetation was growing and temperatures were typical of summer. Wetland hydrology was <br /> assumed to be typical of the season based on normal range precipitation amounts in the <br /> preceding 30 days (Appendix B). The survey of wetland boundaries is presented in Appendix <br /> C. <br /> Wetland 1 was a Type 2/6 (PEM 1 B/SS 1 B)fresh(wet)meadow and scrub-shrub wetland <br /> complex. The wetland was dominated by reed canary grass with lesser amounts of purple <br /> 3 <br />
