Review of NWI, Soils, DNR, and NHD Information The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) (Minnesota Geospatial Commons 2009-2014 and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) showed one PFOlA wetland in the south portion of the onsite woodland (Figure 3). The Soil Survey (USDA NRCS 2015) did not show any mapped hydric soil types within or near site boundaries. Soil types mapped on the property are listed in Table 1 and a map showing soil types is included in Figure 4. Table 1. Soil types mapped on the Pearson Farm South site. Approx.

The National Hydrography Dataset (U.S. Geological Survey 2015) showed one Stream/River more than 300-feet from the south and west site boundaries (Figure 6). No Wetland Determination The site was examined on October 9, 2019 for the presence and extent of wetlands. At the time of the site visit, select corn crop fields had already been harvested and climatic conditions were wet (atypical) based on the gridded database method. Additionally, climatic conditions were wetter than the normal range for most of the 2019 growing season based on 30-day rolling precipitation totals (Attachment B).
