indicate hydric soils located within the Wetland 1 area. The soil survey did not depict <br /> hydric soils within the Wetland 2 area. <br /> Wetland Type PUBF <br /> The NWI Cowardin wetland classification system identifies the PUBF label for a wetland <br /> that consists of a palustrine basin, with an unconsolidated bottom that is semi- <br /> permanently flooded. This means that surface water persists throughout the growing <br /> season in most years, however when surface water is absent, the water table is usually <br /> at or very near the land surface. The NWI map for the Site area does indicates the PBUF <br /> wetland corresponds to Wetland 2. The soil survey did not indicate hydric soils are <br /> located within the Wetland 2 area. The Wetland 2 basin is most likely an excavated <br /> stormwater pond used to treat surficial runoff prior to entering the regional stormwater <br /> system . <br /> 4.0 DISCUSSION <br /> Pinnacle performed a Level 2, On-Site, Wetland Delineation of the Lord of Life Lutheran <br /> Church located at 14501 Nowthen Blvd. NW, Ramsey, Anoka County, Minnesota (Site). <br /> The Site of approximately 35.5 acres consists of one parcel of land within the SE 1/4 of <br /> NW 1/4 of Section 25, Township 32N, Range 25W (Lat: 45.235659°, Long: -93.403106°). <br /> The underlying property contains the Lord of Life Lutheran Church, parking lots, fallow <br /> areas, and wetlands. The Site area has the PI D of 25-32-25-24-0059. The Level 2 <br /> delineation was conducted in substantial conformance with the 1987 U.S. ACOE Wetland <br /> Delineation Manual, updated February 25, 1997, and utilized the Midwest Regional <br /> Supplement. <br /> Site elevations range from approximately 886 feet AMSL to elevations of 856 feet AMSL <br /> and 880 feet AMSL in the east and the west areas of the Site. The NWI map indicated <br /> three wetland basins within the Site. The Soil Survey indicated hydric soils are located in <br /> the area of Wetland 2. The PWI map did not identify any PWI watercourses, however it <br /> did identify one PWI basin, number 02066500, within the Site. <br /> The 2022 seasonal antecedent rainfall amounts were drier the normal precipitation <br /> amounts for this area. Precipitation amounts 0.26 inches of rain occurred the fourteen <br /> days prior to the wetland delineation field visit. <br /> Wetland 1 is a depressional basin located in the north central portion of the Site. Under <br /> the Cowardin system a portion of Wetland 1 would be considered a palustrine, emergent, <br /> seasonally flooded (PEM1C) basin. Wetland 1 consists of a wetland area receiving <br /> drainage from the surrounding upland area. Under the Circular 39 system, the emergent <br /> portion of the wetland would be considered a type 3 wetland. Wetland 1 is dominated by <br /> hydrophytes comprised primarily of cattails. Hydric soils were found to be present. <br /> Hydrology appeared to be present and was based on saturation and standing water in <br /> the wetland basin. The wetland edge was determined along the edge of the wetland and <br /> Pinnacle Engineering, Inc.
