3) Signs of wetland hydrology were noted and were compared to field criteria such <br /> as depth to shallow water table and depth of soil saturation found in the soil pits. <br /> Wetland edges were marked with sequentially numbered pin flags. 4-1oot wood lath marked with <br /> orange"wetland boundary"flagging tape or flagging tied on vegetation may be used if site <br /> conditions warrant. The wetland was mapped by Precision Surveys, Inc. using modem survey <br /> methods. <br /> Wetland classification follows the methods used by the National Wetlands Inventory. The circular <br /> 39 classification Is also given. <br /> At least one sample point transect crosses each delineated wetland edge. These transects <br /> consist of an upland sample point, and a wetland sample point. Other sample points may be <br /> located In areas which have one or more of the wetland vegetation, soils,or hydrologic <br /> characteristics present or where questionable conditions exist. Sample points are marked with <br /> blue and white striped flagging. Sample data sheets are found in Appendix A. <br /> Results <br /> Two wetlands were delineated on the parcel(Figure 5). These wetlands were described as <br /> follows: <br /> Basin 7 <br /> Basin 1 was a Type 3 PEMC shallow marsh with a fringe emergent layer of reed canarygrass. <br /> Other fringe species noted included stinging nettle,jewelweed,green ash, and american elm. <br /> The interior of the wetland off the property to the east was principally vegetated by broadleaf <br /> cattail. The underlying soils were Hamel and hydrology was provided through precipitation, <br /> groundwater,and runoff. <br /> Basin 2 <br /> Basin 2 was a Type 5 PUBGx open water pond with fringe species noted including sedge, <br /> blueflag iris, oats, and kentucky bluegrass. The underlying soils were Hamel and hydrology was <br /> provided through precipitation, groundwater, and runoff. Reportedly this basin was excavated <br /> and there was a pre-existing wetland of approximately 900 square feet in size, so this area has <br /> been enlarged. <br /> The National Wetland Inventory Map(NWI)(Figure 2)does Identify one wetland(Basin 1)in the <br /> location flagged on the subject site. <br /> According to the DNR Public Waters Map(PWI)(Figure 4)of Hennepin County there are no DNR <br /> Public Waters on this site. <br /> According to the Hennepin County Soil Survey(Figure 3)the following hydric soils existed on the <br /> parcel: <br /> Peat and Muck <br /> Hamel <br /> Photographs were taken of the site and are being retained at Jacobson Environmental, PLLC. <br /> 2 <br />
