The DNR Protected Waters Map, Anoka County (http://deli.dnr.state.mn.us) did not show any DNR Protected Waters, Watercourses, or Wetlands within site boundaries (Figure 5). A DNR Protected Watercourse is located more than 300-feet to the northwest of the site. Wetland Detyminations and Delineations The 6951 168 Avenue site was examined on October 6, 2015 for the presence and extent of wetland. At that time, herbaceous growth was present and had not yet begun to senesce. Leaves were present on trees and shrubs. Climatic conditions were normal based on available precipitation data (attached). The site was comprised of a single-family home in the center of the site and a detached garage in the northwest part of the site. The home was surrounded by manicured yard and planted trees (mainly silver maple) and shrubs. Un-manicured meadow was dominated by smooth brome, yellow foxtail, Canada goldenrod, and Kentucky bluegrass with lesser amounts of raspberry, pearly everlasting, common milkweed, asparagus and scattered Siberian elm, red cedar, cottonwood, and black cherry. Woodland was dominated by canopy of boxelder and an understory scattered with motherwort, poison ivy, lambsquarter, Canada goldenrod, Common milkweed, yellow foxtail, gooseberry, riverbank grape, bedstraw, stinging nettle, Canada thistle, wood sedge, elderberry, Virginia creeper, raspberry, and American lopseed. No closed depressions or areas dominated by hydrophytic vegetation were observed. No areas were shown as wetland on the NWI map, and no hydric soils were mapped within site boundaries. No wetlands were identified or delineated on the 6951 168the Avenue site in Ramsey, Minnesota by Kjolhaug Environmental. 2
