Wetland Delineation Report <br />Ramsey Station <br />November 25, 2002 — Revised March 14, 2003 <br />Dominant wetland vegetation includes Typha angustifolia (narrow leaved <br />cattail), Scirpus fluviatilis (river bulrush), Scirpus acutus (hardstem <br />bulrush), Carex sp. (sedge) and Verbena hastata (Blue vervain). <br />Wetland D — Wetland D is an isolated wetland basin that abuts the north <br />property line. Dominant wetland vegetation includes Phalaris <br />arundinacea (reedcanary grass) and Urtica dioca (stinging nettle). This <br />wetland is identified as a DNR Protected Water (Inventory No. 2-670W). <br />Wetland E — Wetland E was identified through aerial photo interpretation <br />with 1'EP members. This area has no wetland vegetation since it was in <br />agricultural production. Based upon recent aerial photos (1996-present) <br />Wetland E is defined as a Type 1 wetland. <br />The project site is located within the Anoka sand plain. According to the Anoka <br />County Soil Survey, the project site consists of the Hubbard-Nymore association. <br />These soils are nearly level to gently sloping, are excessively drained and are <br />sandy throughout. Depressional areas on -site are consisted of the Isan sandy loam, <br />a hydric component within the association. A list of the Anoka County Hydric <br />Soils List is available in Appendix D. Soils on site consist of the following soil <br />types. <br />Table 2: Summaries of Soils Within Project Area <br />Series No. Series Name <br />HuA Hubbard coarse sand <br />Dp Duelm loamy coarse sand <br />DnA Dickman sandy loam <br />IS Isan sandy loam <br />Mc Marsh <br />* - Has hydric components (Isan soil <br />AERIAL PHOTO INTERPRETATION: <br />Hydric Soil Status <br />Non-Hydric* <br />Non-Hydric* <br />Non-Hydric* <br />Hydric <br />Hydric <br />unit is the hydric component). <br />Aerial photos were collected in order to assess wetland conditions prior to the project. <br />Below is a summary of significant changes in landforms or hydrology based upon the <br />aerial photo interpretation. Aerial photos are appended in Appendix E. <br />The Anoka/Sherburne County Farm Services Agency and Natural Resources <br />Conservation Service summarized precipitation totals from 1979-2001. The summary <br />calculates a monthly wetness evaluation to determine if the year is classified as a dry, <br />normal or wet year. The results are used to assess wetland conditions observed in the <br />aerial photos and are summarized in the following table and appended in Appendix F. <br />Page 3 of 52 <br />
