PROJECT IN
ORONO, MN
John Anderson, EnviroData, Ino, St. Louis Park, MN delineated and documented a
wetland boundary on the subject property on May 1st, 2001. This report provides
information as to the dominant wetland characteristics at the site as a result of the
investigation.

LOCATION
METHODOLOGY
Wetlands were identified and delineated using the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1987). The wetland and/or deep
water habitat were classified according to the methodologies set forth in Wetlands of the
United States (USFWS Circular 39, Shaw and Fredine, 1956) and Classification of
Wetlands and Deep Water Habitats of the United States (FWS/OBS Publication 79/31:
Cowardin et. Al. 1979).
CHARCTERISTICS OF SITES INVESTIGATED
Transect A,I,a
This is a Type 1 (PEM1A) zone of a Type 6/3 (PSSl/EM1C) wetland area. Dominant
species are Pussy Willow (FACW) and Reed Canary Grass (FACW+). Soils are Hamel,
a wetland soil. Wetland hydrology is present; site is saturated within one foot of surface.
Transect A,I,b
This is anon -wetland checksite. Dominant species are Box Elder (FACW), Reed Canary
Grass (FACW+), Allgheny Blackberry (FACU), Raspberry (FACW-) and Common
Buckthorn (FAC-). Soils are Hamel, a wetland soil. Wetland hydrology is present; site is
saturated within one fb6i of surface. Site is a spoil mound built as part of a water
retention pond.
_ okI
Transect A,II,a
This is a Type 1 (PFOIA) wetland checksite. Dominant species are Box Elder (FACW),
Pussy Willow (FACW) and Reed Canary Grass (FACW+). Soils are Hamel, a wetland
soil. Wetland hydrology is present; site is saturated within one foot of surface.
Transect A,II,b
This is a non -wetland checksite. Dominant species are Box Elder (FACW) and Common
Buckthorn (FAC-). Soils are Hamel, a wetland soil. Wetland hydrology is present; site is
saturated within one foot of surface.
Transect A,III,a
This is a Type 7 (PFOIC) wetland checksite. Dominant species are Box Elder (FACW),
Virginia Waterleaf (FACW-), Allgheny Blackberry (FACU), Jewel Weed (FACW),
Common Buckthorn (FAC-), and Sedge (FAC to OBL). Soils are Hamel, a wetland soil.
Wetland hydrology is present, site is saturated within one foot of surface.
Transect A,III,b
This is a non -wetland checksite. Dominant species are Box Elder (FACW), Common
Buckthorn (FAC-), Bedstraw (FACU), and Jewel Weed (FACW). Soils are Hamel, a
wetland soil. Wetland hydrology is present, site is saturated within one foot of surface.
Transect B,I,a
This is a Type 6 (PSS1Cx) wetland checksite. Dominant species are Pussy Willow
(FACW), Reed Canary Grass (FACW+), and Scour Rush (FACW). Soils are Hamel, a
wetland soil. Wetland hydrology is presents site is saturated within one foot of surface.
Transect B,I,b
This is a non -wetland checksite. Dominant species are Box Elder (FACW), Reed Canary
Grass (FACW+), Allgheny Blackberry (FACU), Raspberry (FACW-) and Common
Buckthorn (FAC-). Soils are Hamel, a wetland soil. Wetland hydrology is present, site is
saturated within one foot of surface. Site is a spoil mound built as part of a water
retention pond.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Two jurisdictional wetlands were delineated on the subject property. A wetland area in
the western portion of the property is a storm water retention pond created in wetland
soil. Reed Canary Grass and Willow dominate a wetland area adjacent to the east of the
retention pond. A DNR protected wetland is located to the south of a residential
structure. The delineated boundary is forested. The center of the DNR wetland is
dominated by Cattail and Purple Loosestrife. o
I appreciate the opportunity to present this assessment.

1/
Hennepin County has soil temperatures on the border between the mesic and frigid soil temperature
classes, therefore, soils in both classes occur in the county. However, these temperature differences are
minor and are usually not significant to growing crops in the county.
2/
These soils are taxadjuncts of the Anoka series because the surface layer is thicker and darker
and the sand fraction is dominantly fine sand.
3/
These soils are taxadjuncts of the Chaska series because they contain less fine sand than the de-
fined range for the series.
4/
These soils are taxadjuncts of the Dakota series because they have less translocated clay in the B
horizon than the defined range for the series.
5/
These soils are taxadjuncts of the Dorchester series because they have darker colored upper hori-
zons and contain more sand than the defined range for the series.
6/
Some of these soils are taxadjuncts of the Isan series because the C horizon is loam or heavy
sandy loam.
7/
These soils are taxadjuncts of the Langola series because they have more silt and clay in the solum
and some have grayer colors than the defined range for the series.
8/
These soils are taxadjuncts of the Lerdal series because the A horizon is thicker than the defined
range for the series.
9/
These soils are taxadjuncts of the Litchfield series because they have a thinner, darker colored A
horizon and contain more medium and coarse sand than the defined range for the series.
10/
Organic soils that have not been classified at the series level.
ll/
These soils are taxadjuncts of the Shields series because the upper part of the B horizon is darker
than the defined range for the series.
