1700 Highway 96 Site Wetland Delineation Report <br />Conservation Service (MRCS) in cooperation with the National Technical Committee for Hydric <br />Soils, Version 7, 2010). <br />Mapped soils are separated into five classes based on the composition of hydric components and <br />the Hydric Rating by Map Unit color classes utilized on Web Soil Survey. The five classes <br />include Hydric (100 percent hydric components), Predominantly Hydric (66 to 99 percent hydric <br />components), Partially Hydric (33 to 65 percent hydric components), Predominantly Non-Hydric <br />(1 to 32 percent hydric components), and Non-Hydric (less than one percent hydric components). <br />Plants were identified using standard regional plant keys. Taxonomy and indicator status of plant <br />species was taken from the 2017 National Wetland Plant List (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers <br />2017. National Wetland Plant List, version 3.3, Engineer Research and Development Center, <br />Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Hanover, NH). <br />4. RESULTS <br />4.1 Review of NWI, Soils, Public Waters and NHD Information <br />The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) (Minnesota Geospatial Commons 2009-2014 and U.S. <br />Fish and Wildlife Service) showed eight wetlands mapped within the site boundaries (Figure 3). <br />The Soil Survey (USDA NRCS 2015) showed Bluffton loam (Hydric) and Dundas fine sandy <br />loam (Predominantly Hydric) as the Hydric Soil types mapped on the site. Soil types mapped on <br />the property are listed below in Table 2 and a map showing soil types is included in Figure 4. <br />Table 2.
