WETLANDS DELINEATION DOCUMENTATION <br />FOR MARK ASHBY, EDINA REALTY, <br />PROJECT IN LITTLE CANADA, MN <br />John Anderson, WETLANDS DATA, Minneapolis, MN investigated the subject <br />property subject property tor the presence of wetland on April 17th, 1996 at the request <br />of Mark Ashby, Edina Realty. The site had been investigated previously on February <br />10th, 1996. The site was investigated again to determine the presence of wetland <br />during the growing season. The investigator delineated no additional area as <br />jurisdictional wetland. <br />This report is provided as an appendix to the previous report. The parameters of the <br />wetland /upland boundaries are provided in each delineation report form as this <br />information is redundant below. Please review documentation of these findings <br />(referenced in report and site plan). A sketch of the staked wetland boundaries is <br />included in the report. <br />NW1 /4, NW1 /4 <br />Section #4 <br />T29, R23 <br />Ramsey County, Minnesota <br />LOCATION <br />METHODOLOGY <br />Wetlands are identified and delineated using the Federal Manual for Identifying and <br />Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands (Interagency Task Force on Wetland Delineation, <br />1989) and the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (U.S. Army <br />Corps of Engineers, 1987) The wetland and /or deep water habitat are classified <br />according to the methodologies set forth in Wetlands of the United States (USFWS <br />Circular 39, Shaw and Fredine, 1971) and Classification of Wetlands and Deep water <br />Habitats of the United States (FWS /OBS Publication 79/31: Cowardin et. a1.1979). <br />CHARACTERISTICS OF WETLANDS INVESTIGATED <br />Transect D, #I <br />This is a upland checksite. Dominant species are Poplar (FAC) Black Cherry (FACU) <br />and Red Ozier Dogwood (FACW). Soils are Barronett, a wetland soil. Surface <br />hydrology evidence is not met, as soil is not flooded or saturated. The site appears to <br />have been effectively drained by an open drainage ditch. The Minnesota drainage <br />guide states that a four foot deep ditch, placed in Barronett soil, will have a lateral <br />effect of 87 feet. This lateral drainage likely changed the hydrology from wetland to <br />non - wetland. <br />Page 23 <br />
