The majority of the soil types within the park are Hubbard course sand with 0-12% <br />slopes. The remaining soils are Becker, very fine sandy loam and Dickman sandy <br />loam with 0-6 % slopes. There are a few small areas that have been cut and filled <br />along the existing road. Therefore, overall the soils in the park are very suitable for <br />development. <br />The soils of Foster and Cloquet Islands are an alluvial mix that floods frequently, <br />therefore no development is proposed for the islands, although some natural <br />resource restoration may occur. <br />Legend <br />Soils Information <br />Type, Description <br />Al, Alluvial Land, mixed, frequently flooded <br />Ba, Becker very fine sandy loam <br />Cu, Cut and flll land <br />DnA, Dickman sandy loam, 0-2% slopes <br />DnB, Dickman sandy loam, 2-6%slopes <br />CP, Pits, gravel-udipsamments complex <br />HuA, Hubbard coarse sand, 0-2% slopes <br />HuB, Hubbard coarse sand, 2-6%slopes <br />Hue, Hubbard coarse sand, 6-12%slopes <br />issippi River <br />1,800 2,400 <br />Feet <br />Soil Types <br />A wetland review was performed in September 2010. Anoka County Soil Survey <br />and the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) were referenced as well as conducting <br />an onsite review. There were no hydric soils and no wetlands as inventoried by the <br />NWI except for those directly associated with the river. See Appendix. <br />Other existing natural resources include previously disturbed woodland and <br />grassland areas, riparian edges and river bluffs, which contain several invasive <br />species that will need to be eliminated and restored with native species. Native <br />prairie has been restored in some areas of the park and the remaining fields are <br />scheduled to be restored to a native grassland/prairie sometime in the future. <br />Page 7 of 22 <br />
