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 '/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 PID 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. <br />11541 95th Avenue North <br />Maple Grove, MN 55369 <br />763-315-4501 <br />Page 5 <br />Wetland Determination Report <br />Lord of Life Lutheran Church, Ransey, MN <br />July 26, 2022 <br />Pinnacle Project Number: EM20225225 <br />
