boundaries were determined and delineated. The approximate wetland boundary is outlined in <br /> yellow (Figure 5). <br /> The NWI identified the present wetland as PEMF. The wetland vegetation in the seasonally <br /> inundated wetland was dominated by cattails (Typha spp. OBL) and lesser duckweed (Lemna <br /> minor OBL). The transition to upland can be marked vegetatively and structurally, primarily as <br /> the cattail disappears and the lawn/landscaping begins. <br /> Sample point SP 1 Wet was taken from the southwest side of the semipermanently inundated <br /> wetland. The soils at sample point SP 1 Wet consisted of a mucky peat at the surface below <br /> which the soils didn't hold together for sampling. Saturation was present at 2 inches and water <br /> table at 4 inches. Hydric indicator A10 (2 cm Muck) and S3 (5 cm Mucky Peat or Peat) were <br /> present. The soils at sample point SP 1 Up consisted of layers of loam, some of which had <br /> concentrations present with gleyed silt clay below starting at 13 inches. No hydric indicators <br /> were present. <br /> Wetland hydrology was DS (FAC-Neutral Test)present at sample point SP 1 Up.At sample point <br /> SP 1 Wet indicators A2 (High Water Table),A3 (Saturation) and B7 (Inundation Visible on Aerial <br /> Imagery) and secondary indicators D2 (Geomorphic Position) and DS (FAC-Neutral Test) were <br /> present. <br /> Detailed soils, vegetation, and hydrology data for the delineated jurisdictional wetlands are <br /> provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documents section. <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, <br /> and indicators of wetland hydrology in each basin. The site visit portion of the wetland <br /> delineation was completed on 10/17/13. <br /> SER personnel examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria <br /> during the site visit and delineated the southwestern and northwestern edges of the <br /> semipermanently inundated depression as being jurisdictional wetland, in agreement with NWI <br /> PEMF. (Figure 5). Detailed soils, vegetation and hydrology data is provided in the data sheets of <br /> the Technical Documents section.A set of figures is provided in the Figures section. <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> Activities that impact or could potentially impact wetlands are 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 /> 1* State jurisdiction by the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA) administered by the <br /> WCA Local Governmental Unit(LGU). <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resources 3 2565 North Shore Dr <br /> Project Number: 2013-033 Orono,MN <br />
