<br />III. RESULTS <br /> <br />Review of Soils. NWI. and DNR Information <br />The National Wetland Inventory Map (NWl) (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, 1989, New <br />Brighton) shows a PEMB/PFOIB wetland extending onto the property from the west (Figure 2). <br /> <br />The Soil Survey of Ramsey County, Minnesota (USDA, 1980) shows the following soil types <br />on the site: Cathro muck (544) and Urban Land-Hayden.,.Kingsley complex (860C) (Figure 3). <br />Cathro is a hydric soil indicative of wetland conditions when undrained. <br /> <br />The DNR Protected Waters Map, Ramsey County (Minnesota DNR, 1981), does not show any <br />DNR Protected Waters, Wetlands, or Waterways on the site or within 1,000 feet ofthe property <br />(Figure 4). <br /> <br />Wetland Determinations and Delineations <br />Potential wetlands were evaluated in greater detail during field observations. One wetland basin <br />was identified and delineated on the area evaluated (Figure 5). Corresponding data forms are <br />included in Appendix A. The following description of the wetland and surrounding upland <br />reflects field conditions observed at the time ofthe delineation. Precipitation throughout the <br />portion of the growing season preceding the site visit had been above average. <br /> <br />Wetland 1 was a partially drained, Type 2 (PEMIBd) basin located in the western half ofthe <br />site, and extended off ofthe property toward the south. An 8-inch diameter corregated pipe was <br />observed to discharge stormwater or house foundation drainage into the wetland at the <br />southeastern comer of the property. The wetland plant community was dominated by reed <br />canary grass, with scattered stinging nettle and sandbar willow along the edges. The adjacent <br />wooded uplands to the west were dominated by common buckthorn, staghorn sumac, and prickly <br />gooseberry, common burdock, and eastern cottonwood trees, with some willow. Adjacent <br />uplands in the old field area to the east were dominated by smooth brome grass with scattered <br />Canada thistle. Uplands to the north consisted ofthe road bank for Gluek Lane North, which <br />was dominated by Kentucky bluegrass, reed canary grass, and smooth brome grass. <br /> <br />Soils in the wetland just below the delineated wetland boundary consisted of 18 inches of black <br />muck over mucky peat. No water was observed within 48 inches ofthe surface in soil sample <br />pits located 20 feet below the wetland boundary. Adjacent upland soils consisted of black gravel <br />and sandy loam :fill material which had no iron concentrations or other hydric indicators to 48 <br />inches below the surface. No water was observed within 48 inches of the surface in upland soil <br />sample pits. Although no obvious cause of drainage was found, it was assumed that the changes <br />to the watershed (i.e. increase in impervious surfaces, redirection of runoff to stormwater ponds) <br />resulted in less water entering the wetland. This would account for the discrepancy between the <br />lack of water and the presence of peat soils in the wetland, which are normally saturated to the <br />surface in the absence of drainage. <br /> <br />2 <br />
