Summer is almost here
Our student employees are back in the field. Abigail collected data on a wetland delineation in Roseville. Plants were growing well. Fill had been placed in the wetland. The peat soils had been buried with a sandy clay soil.
Nathan has been collecting GIS and GPS data on wetland monitoring projects. We have also been recording water depths.
There will be more camping and boating this summer. A recent trip to the gun club was enjoyed by all. Nathan's trap score was 22 of 25 for the first time. Jennifer even tried her hand at skeet shooting.
Project Updates
Recent GIS work on a project in Inver Grove Heights has been completed for a draft wetland permit application.
An off-site Atypical wetland determination is in process on an agricultural field in Medina and Eden Prairie.
Hydrology monitoring continues in Blaine, Lakeville and Minnetonka.
We are working with clients and the Corps of Engineers and a watershed district to resolve wetland permitting issues in Victoria and Lakeville
A rain garden in Prior Lake is growing nicely after being re-seeded and irrigated.
Wetland mitigation site monitoring continues in the following cities:
Minnetonka,
Chaska,
Prior Lake,
Faribault
Shakopee
A wetland hydrology monitoring study is anticipated on a complex wetland delineation in Hennepin County. Our goal is to document the movement of groundwater in the north and floodwater in the south to determine if wetland hydrology exists. Although this project is not large, the study will provide the decision makers on the TEP the information needed to determine the wetland boundary.
