Plants were identified using standard regional plant keys. Taxonomy and indicator status of <br /> plant species was taken from the 2015 National Wetland Plant List(U.S. Army Corps of <br /> Engineers 2014. National Wetland Plant List, version 3.2, Engineer Research and Development <br /> Center, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Hanover,NH). <br /> III. RESULTS <br /> Review of NWI, Soils,DNR, and NHD Information <br /> The National Wetlands Inventory(NWI) (Minnesota Geospatial Commons 2009-2014 and U.S. <br /> Fish and Wildlife Service) showed a PEM1C wetland within the property(Figure 3). <br /> The Soil Survey(USDA NRCS 2015) showed Muskego/Blue Earth/Houghton as the hydric soil <br /> types present within the review area. Soil types mapped on the property are listed in Table 2 and <br /> a map showing soil types is included in Figure 4. <br /> Table 2. Soil types mapped on the 3590 North Shore Drive Parcel <br /> Map unit <br /> symbol Map unit name Rating <br /> L16A Muskego, Blue Earth,and Houghton soils, ponded,0 to 1 H dric <br /> percent slopes Y <br /> L64A Tadkee-Tadkee, depressional, complex, 0 to 2 percent predominantly Hydric <br /> slopes <br /> U1A Urban land-Udorthents, wet substratum,complex,0 to 2 Non-Hydric <br /> percent slopes <br /> W Water Non-Hydric <br /> The Minnesota DNR Public Waters Inventory(Minnesota Department of Natural Resources <br /> 2015) showed DNR Public Waters 27-113-13P (Lake Minnetonka) within the property(Figure <br /> 5). <br /> The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (U.S. Geological Survey 2015) showed one <br /> lake/pond within the property(Figure 6). <br /> Wetland Determinations and Delineations <br /> Potential wetlands were evaluated in greater detail during field observations on March 29, 2016. <br /> One (1)wetland was identified and delineated within the subject parcel (Figure 2). <br /> Corresponding data forms are included in Appendix A. The following description of the <br /> wetlands and adjacent upland reflects conditions observed at the time of the field visit. At that <br /> time precipitation totals were below typical based on available 30-day rolling precipitation data <br /> and normal based on the three-month antecedent conditions (January, February, March) <br /> 3 <br />
