loosestrife,jewelweed, smartweed, giant goldenrod and willow shrubs. Soils observed below the <br /> wetland boundary were black mixed clay/loam/gravel fill with redoximorphic features to 24 <br /> inches meeting the F6 indicator for hydric soil (redox dark surface). No free water or saturation <br /> was observed within 24 inches of the soil surface in the sample borehole. Secondary indicators <br /> of wetland hydrology included geomorphic position and the FAC-Neutral Test. <br /> Adjacent upland at the sample location was mowed lawn dominated by Kentucky bluegrass with <br /> lesser amounts of dandelion, common plantain, and creeping Charlie. Soils were mixed brown <br /> and black fill lacking in redoximorphic features. No primary or secondary indicators of wetland <br /> hydrology were observed. <br /> The delineated boundary followed an abrupt change in vegetation composition and a gradual <br /> change in topography. Wetland 1 corresponded to an NWI-mapped wetland and was located <br /> within an areas mapped with partially hydric soil on the soil survey. A one-foot diameter tile <br /> was located within the east wetland boundary, and discharged into Lake Minnetonka. The <br /> elevation change where the wetland met the shoreland of Lake Minnetonka was approximately 3 <br /> feet drop. The outlet was dry at the time of the delineation. <br /> Wetland 2 was a Type 2/6 (PEM 1 B/SS 1 B/EM 1 C)fresh(wet)meadow, scrub-shrub wetland <br /> complex. The wetland fringe at the sample location was dominated reed canary grass, crack <br /> willow, and black willow. Soils observed just below the wetland boundary were black silty clay <br /> loam with redox concentrations to 18 inches, meeting the F6 indicator for hydric soil, underlain <br /> by peat to a depth greater than 24 inches. No free water or saturated soils were observed within <br /> 24 inches of the soil surface in the sample borehole, but 2 secondary indicators (geomorphic <br /> position and the FAC-Neutral Test)were observed. <br /> Adjacent upland at the sample location was mowed lawn dominated by Kentucky bluegrass with <br /> lesser amounts of creeping Charlie. Soils were mixed brown and black fill to 30 inches over <br /> black peat to 36 inches. No primary or secondary hydrology indicators were observed. <br /> The delineated boundary followed an abrupt change in vegetation composition and a gradual <br /> change in topography. Wetland 2 corresponded to an NWI-mapped wetland and was located <br /> within an area mapped with partially hydric soils on the soil survey. The wetland continued east <br /> to the shore of Lake Minnetonka. The elevation change where the wetland met the shoreland of <br /> Lake Minnetonka was approximately 3 feet drop. <br /> Other Areas <br /> No other areas with wetland vegetation or hydrology were observed on the site. No other areas <br /> were shown as wetland on the NWI map or shown as hydric soils on the survey. <br /> 4 <br />
