City of Lino Lakes - Woolan's Park <br />Wetland Delineation Report <br />Critical Connections Ecological Services, Inc. <br />December 10, 2009 <br />The upland plant species documented at the transect for Area B include: Penn's sedge <br />(Carex pennsylvanica), Northern pin oak, Paper birch, and Ostrich fern (Matteuccia <br />struthiopteris). The wetland plant species documented at the transect for Area A <br />include: Reed canarygrass, Canada blue -joint grass, Giant goldenrod (Solidago <br />gigantea), and Sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis). <br />The wetland soil sample documented at the transect for Area B was comprised mainly <br />of fine sands to a depth of 29 ". The soil in the upland pit was primarily fine sand with a <br />thin sandy organic duff layer. The matrix color indicated a hydric soil (low - chroma) for <br />the wetland soil pit within the wetland boundary. Organic streaking was present in the <br />upland soil pit. The soils in and around Area B are mapped as Zimmerman fine sand <br />and Isanti fine sandy loam. <br />Area C <br />Area C is located in the northern part of the park with the single large wetland complex <br />located to the west and south of this area. This area is an upland Northern pin oak <br />dominated forest with a wetland fringe dominated by Canada blue -joint grass, Glossy <br />buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula), and Reed canarygrass. A gas line easement is located <br />along the southern border of this upland area. The general topography rises from the <br />wetland edge up a few inches to where the oaks become dominant. <br />Photo within upland of Area C Northern pin oaks are the dominant tree <br />Page 5 of 9 <br />• <br />• <br />
