A MN Joint Application requesting confirmation of wetland type and delineation concurrence was received on November 1, 2016 ; a subsequent Notice of Application was issued on November 14, 2016. The site was field reviewed on September 27, 2016. The boundaries of all three wetlands (WB_0l, _02, and _03) were reviewed by the TEP. WB_01 was located south of and adjacent to 130th Street North. This boundary was very apparent and corresponds to an NWI feature (PSS1/EM1Ad) and mapped hydric soil (541-Rifle muck). This wetland was identified as a type 2/6, PEMB/PSS1A in the wetland delineation and was observed as such during the field review. The boundary for wetland WB_02 (type 2/6, PEMB/PSS 1 A/C) was irregularly shaped and appeared to follow undulations in an area used for pasturing livestock. Narrow fingers of wetland extended out from the NWI mapped feature and were dictated by topography between the 932' and the 934' contours and hydrology indicators. The northwestern terminus of the boundary was adjusted following the September 27, 2016 TEP field review. This area was adjusted to include an area dominated by sensitive fern with a yellow birch overstory and included hydric soils and secondary hydrology indicators (geomorphic position and FAC- neutral test). The October 14, 2016 Westwood delineation report reflects this amendment. WB_03 is a small type 1, PEM1A wetland located in the northeastern corner of the parcel. This wetland is described as a wallow as it exists within active pasture. Based on a review of the delineation report and the field review, all wetland boundaries and types are approved as identified in the Wetland Delineation Report submitted by Westwood Professional Services and dated October 14, 2016.
