followed a distinct topographical and vegetation change. A weir connects Wetland 1 and <br />Wetland 2. Wetland 1 is a public wetland basin (Basin number 02066500) protected by <br />the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. <br />Wetland 2 is a basin located in the east central portion of the Site. Under the Cowardin <br />system portions of Wetland 2 would be considered a palustrine, emergent, seasonally <br />flooded, (PEM1Cd) drained basin. The emergent portion of the wetland is surrounded in <br />places by scrub shrub and forested wetlands and uplands. Wetland 2 consists of a <br />depressional area receiving drainage from the surrounding upland area, from Wetland 1 <br />through a weir, and a culvert appears to drain the wetland to the east. Under the Circular <br />39 system, the emergent portion of the wetland would be considered a type 3 wetland <br />fringed with wetland types 6 and 7. Wetland 2 is dominated by hydrophytes comprised <br />primarily of cattails. Hydric soils were found to be present. Hydrology appeared to be <br />present and was based on saturation and standing water in the wetland basin. The <br />wetland edge was determined along the edge of the wetland and followed a topography <br />and vegetation change. <br />SA-1 is a basin located in the west central portion of the Site. SA-1 consists of a <br />depressional area receiving drainage from the surrounding upland area and a large <br />culvert in the northwest that appears adjacent to the parking lot. The SA-1 basin is <br />depicted on the NWI map as an emergent wetland (PEM1A). SA-1 is not dominated by <br />hydrophytes but is dominated by upland plants. Hydric soils and hydrology were not <br />found to be present. <br />SA-2 is a basin located in the southwest portion of the Site. SA-2 consists of a <br />depressional area receiving drainage from the surrounding upland area and a drainage <br />from the adjacent the parking lot. SA-2 is not dominated by hydrophytes but is dominated <br />by upland plants. Hydric soils and hydrology were not found to be present. <br />5.0 CONCLUSION <br />Pinnacle conducted a Level 2, On -Site, Wetland Delineation at the Lord of Life Lutheran <br />Church located at 14501 Nowthen Blvd. NW, Ramsey, Anoka County, Minnesota. The <br />approximately 35.5-acre Site contains the Lord of Life Lutheran Church, two houses, <br />parking lots, fallow areas, uplands, and wetlands. <br />During the field assessment, it was determined that two areas within the Site met all three <br />of the mandatory criteria of a wetland, and the wetland boundaries were recorded utilizing <br />a handheld GPS device and were flagged for survey by others. One of the wetlands <br />appears to be a storm water pond. The delineation will be reviewed by the Lower Rum <br />River Watershed Management Organization which serves as the LGU administering <br />Minnesota's Wetland Conservation Act and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which <br />administers the Clean Water Act. <br />Pinnacle Engineering, Inc. <br />11541 95th Avenue North <br />Maple Grove, MN 55369 <br />763-315-4501 <br />Page 6 <br />Wetland Determination Report <br />Lord of Life Lutheran Church, Ransey, MN <br />July 26, 2022 <br />Pinnacle Project Number: EM20225225 <br />
