Field Aquatic Resource Delineation Report

Executive Summary

The NDDOT, in cooperation with the City of Minot and Minot Chamber Economic 

Development Corporation has received a USDOT Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) 

Grant through its Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) 

program to study future business model direction for the intermodal facility in Minot, 

ND. Ackerman-Estvold was the selected consultant for the project. To comply with NEPA, 

Ackerman-Estvold has conducted a field aquatic resource study of the subject area.

This delineation has been conducted in accordance with the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the 2010 Great Plains Regional Supplement. 

Ordinary High-Water Mark (OHWM) identification was conducted in accordance with the 

2008 A Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High-Water Mark (OHWM) in the 

Arid West Region of the Western United States and the 2005 USACE Regulatory Guidance 

Letter 05-05.

The total area studied included roughly 934 acres (Figure 1 in Appendix A). Thirty-six

(36) wetlands (totaling 52.96 acres) were delineated in the Study Area (Table 1, 

Wetlands). Eleven (11) other waters (totaling 15.4 acres and 4,369 linear feet) were

delineated within the Study Area (Table 2, Other Waters). These aquatic features are 

noted in Figures 2.1 and 2.2 in Appendix A.

Dominant aquatic resource classifications near or within the Study Area include: 

• Thirteen (13) PEM1A, palustrine, emergent, persistent, temporarily flooded 

wetlands.

• Four (4) PEM1Ax, palustrine, emergent, persistent, temporarily flooded, 

farmed wetlands.

• Twelve (12) PEM1Af, palustrine, emergent, persistent, temporarily flooded, 

farmed wetlands.

• Seven (7) PEM1C, palustrine, emergent, persistent, seasonally flooded 

wetlands.

• Two (2) PEM1F, palustrine, emergent, persistent, semi-permanently flooded 

wetlands.

• Three (3) PEM1Fx, palustrine, emergent, persistent, semi-permanently 

flooded wetlands.

• One (1) R4SB5, riverine, intermittent, mud streambed.

• Five (5) R4SB7, riveine, intermittent, vegetated streambed.

Climatic and precipitation conditions at the time of the fieldwork were average 

temperatures and precipitation was below the annual average for that time of year 

(NDAWN Recent Rainfall Data in Appendix B – Supporting Documentation).

Field Aquatic Resource Delineation Report

Chapter 1. Introduction

Ackerman-Estvold (AE) was contracted by the Minot Area Development Corporation 

and the Port of ND to conduct a field aquatic resource delineation for a portion of a parcel 

along Ward County Road 12 between 27th Street NE and 55th Street NE, east of Minot, 

North Dakota. The project is in the process of acquiring a CRISI grant to assist in 

optimizing the uses and development of the Port of ND going forward. The parcel is 

currently owned by the Minot Area Development Corporation and used for canola

agriculture, commercial agricultural uses, aggregate mining, and other agricultural 

production. 

A total Study Area of 934 acres were surveyed. Wetland acreages listed in this 

report are located within the project extents. This area is near the western edge of the 

Central Lowlands physiographic province. This area has been affected by previous 

glaciation. It is in the “prairie pothole” region consisting of lakes and marshes without 

integrated drainage. The surrounding area is part of the former Glacial Lake Souris 

lakebed. The Mouse River Valley can be found to the south and west. The surrounding 

area consists of other agricultural fields along with some commercial development along 

the roadways. Primary upland vegetation consists of smooth brome grass mixed prairie

and agricultural fields. 

The purpose of this report is to identify and describe aquatic resources and to 

identify known possible sensitive plant, fish, wildlife species, and properties in the survey 

area.

This report facilitates efforts to:

1. Avoid or minimize impacts to aquatic resources during the design process.

2. Document aquatic resource boundary determinations for review by regulatory 

authorities.

3. Provide early indications of known sensitive species within the survey area.

4. Provide background information for regulatory review process.

Contact information for the landowner is included in Appendix G.

In October and November 2021, Kevin Ploof, REHS/RS performed a series of onsite 

observations and aquatic resource delineations. The overall drainage area received below 

normal precipitation in the four weeks prior to the field investigation (see Appendix B -

Recent Rainfall Data).

Chapter 2. Location 

The Study Area is in Sections 8, 16, 17, 21, and 22, Township 155 North, Range 82

West of the 5th Prime Meridian, in Ward County, North Dakota. The center of the Study 

Area is located at 48.246005 latitude and -101.229327 longitude (NAD83). The project 

topography ranges from 1,680 feet (NAVD88) in the northwest field to 1,597 feet 

(NAVD88) along County Road 12 at the southwest corner of the site.

Site directions from Bismarck are as follows: proceed north on US-83 to the

junction of US-83 (Broadway) and US-83 Bypass (~111 miles). Go east on US 2 towards 

Devils Lake for approximately 5 miles to 55th St SE turn left(north) for 0.75 mile, then after 

bridge turn left onto County Road 12, ND Port Services is located at 4900 Railway 

Avenue/County Road 12 (south side). These directions are included in Appendix H.

Ward County, which is near the geographical center of North America, has a 

continental climate typical of the northern Great Plains. To the west, the Rocky Mountains 

limit the climatic pattern of air masses moving across the country from the Pacific Ocean. 

However, there are no landforms to restrict air movements from the north and from the 

south. In the summer, the average daily temperature is 68 degrees F, while the average 

winter daily temperature is 16 degrees F. The average annual precipitation for rainfall is 

17.2 inches and 47 inches for snowfall (US Climate Data 2020).

The Study Area is in HUC-12 watershed #0900081206, Livingston Creek-Souris 

River watershed. The project is located along the north edge of Minot.

Chapter 3. Methods

In October and November 2021, Kevin Ploof, REHS/RS performed a series of onsite 

observations and aquatic resource delineations. The overall drainage area received below 

normal precipitation in the four weeks prior to the field investigation (see Appendix B -

Recent Rainfall Data). Indicators and procedures used in this wetland delineation are 

designed to identify wetlands as defined jointly by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (33 

CFR 328.3) and Environmental Protection Agency (40 CFR 230.3). Wetlands are a subset 

of the “Waters of the United States” that may be subject to regulation under Section 404 

of the Clean Water Act. Wetlands are defined as, “Those areas that are inundated or 

saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, 

and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically 

adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, 

bogs, and similar areas.”

Prior to conducting the site visit, several supporting information sources were 

reviewed. Information sources included in this review were: aerial imagery (ND DWR, 

2021), United States Geographic Survey (USGS) Surrey, ND Topographic Quadrangle map 

(USGS, 2020), National Wetland Inventory Map (USFWS, 2021), and Natural Resource 

Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey Maps (NRCS, 2021). All these resources are 

available for review in Appendix B – Supporting Documentation. The onsite wetland 

and potential OHWM investigations were conducted using a hand-held Trimble 

GeoExplorer6000 Series Global Positioning System (GPS) unit, AMS Hand Auger, tiling 

spade, camera, applicable field guides, manuals, and other reference materials.

3.1 Wetland Delineation Methodology

The methodology used to delineate wetlands during the onsite visit were in 

accordance with the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual 

(Environmental Laboratory, 1987) and the 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of 

Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Great Plains Region; Version 2.0 (U.S. Army Corps 

of Engineers, 2010). Potential wetlands were examined for the presence of hydrophytic 

vegetation, hydric soils, and hydrology. 

Plant species were observed throughout the Study Area. Distinct vegetation changes 

were observed in the plant communities present in the Study Area. Every plant species 

noted within each observation point was assigned a wetland indicator status. The 

methodology used to determine this indicator status was based upon the National 
Port of ND-CRISI Grant January 2022

Field Aquatic Resource Delineation Report

Wetland Plant List – Great Plains Region (Lichvar, R.W. et al., 2018) and U.S. Army Corps 

of Engineers State of North Dakota 2018 Wetland Plant List (Lichvar, R.W. et al., 2018). A 

plant community is considered hydrophytic if more than 50% of the dominant species 

present, within all vegetative strata, have an indicator status of obligate (OBL), facultative 

wet (FACW), or facultative (FAC) wetland probability of occurrence. 

A portion of the Study Area consisted of active production agricultural fields (primarily 

canola). 

Hydric soil properties described within this report follow the Field Indicators of Hydric 

Soils in the United States – A Guide for Identifying and Delineating Hydric Soils, Version 

8.2 (Field Indicators, USDA/NRCS, 2018). During the site visit, soils were examined and 

documented by digging soil borings (2.5 inch AMS auger) or tiling spade cores (8-12 

inches in diameter) at observation points. These observation points were selected to 

represent wetland and upland locations present in the Study Area. Soils at these 

observation points were reviewed to determine if they were hydric. The Munsell Soil Color 

Book (Munsell, 2009) was used to describe the soils observed.

Wetland hydrology was determined using the methods and indicators discussed in 

Environmental Laboratory, 1987 and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Great Plains 

Regional Supplement, 2010. At least one primary indicator is required to establish that 

wetland hydrology is present at the observation point. If a primary indicator is absent, two 

or more secondary wetland hydrology indicators are required to establish sufficient 

wetland hydrology.

Wetlands and non-wetland other waters were classified according to Classification of 

Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Wetlands Subcommittee adapted 

from Cowardin et. al., 2013). Wetland boundaries were demarcated with a Trimble 

GeoExplorer6000 Series global positioning system (GPS) unit. 

All forms, additional site references, and supporting photographs are located in the 

attached Appendices.

3.2 Ordinary High Water Mark Determination Methodology

“Non-wetland other waters,” do not exhibit all three parameters required for 

wetlands (i.e. hydrophytic plants, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology). Boundaries for 

these features would be delineated by observing the OHWMs according to USACE 

Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 05-05 (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2005).
Port of ND-CRISI Grant January 2022

Field Aquatic Resource Delineation Report

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ regulations set forth in 33 CFR 328.3(e) (Definitions 

of Waters of the United States) defines the OHWM for purposes of Clean Water Act lateral 

jursidiction as, “The term ordinary high water mark means, that line on the shore 

established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as 

a clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of soil, 

destruction of terrestrial vegetation, the presence of litter and debris, or other appropriate 

means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas.”

Eleven areas within the Study Area appeared to exhibit the physical characteristics 

for the determination of an OHWM.

Chapter 4. Existing Conditions

4.1 Landscape Setting

The total Study Area consisting of roughly 934 acres was surveyed. Acreages listed for 

aquatic resources include the Study Area delineated feature (within the Study Area). The 

Study Area consists of gently rolling fields, mass graded improved area, some rolling hills, 

a gravel pit, and a former FEMA mobile home park. Elevations within the Study Area vary 

from 1597 feet above sea level (asl) to 1680 feet asl. Adjacent land is being used for

agricultural cropland or commercial uses primarily. Below average precipitation preceded 

the site visit to the location. No other atypical conditions were noted. 

The Study Area is part of the Souris Lake Plain Section of the Central Lowlands

Province. This area was previously affected by glaciation including the most recent 

episode (14,000-11,000 YBP). Primary upland vegetation consists of smooth brome grass 

mixed prairie and agricultural fields. 

4.2 Aquatic Resources

4.2.1 Overview

Aquatic Resource Delineation Results 

Wetlands

Wetland 1 – 0.01 acres

Wetland 1 (Photo 1 in Appendix C) consists of less than 0.01 of palustrine, 

emergent, seasonally flooded wetland (PEM1C) (Table 1, Wetlands). Wetland 1 

is located near a small electrical substation east of the 55th Street Overpass 
Port of ND-CRISI Grant January 2022

Field Aquatic Resource Delineation Report

Bridge (SW of Minot Milling). On-site observations indicates that hydrology 

supporting Wetland 1 is likely from surface water ponding. The main 

contributors of hydrology are likely snowmelt and runoff from the surrounding 

topography. The wetland boundaries were determined by conducting soil 

observation pairs, changes in the plant community, and the general topography 

of the suspected wetland. The observed plants at the Wetland 1 observation 

pair included Elymus repens (FACU), Poa pratensis (FACU), and Bromus inermis

(UPL) as dominant upland species and Typha angustifolia (OBL) and Phalaris 

arundinacea (FACW) as the dominant wetland species. The mapped soil series 

(NRCS, 2021) for this location was Vallers loam, saline, 0 to 1% slopes. The 

hydric soil indicator (Field Indicators, USDA/NRCS, 2018) found in the Wetland 

1’s soil observation (Obs. 1W) was redox dark surface (F6). Hydrology indicators 

observed include saturation visible on aerial imagery (C9) and geomorphic 

position (D2) (Army Corps of Engineers, 1987). 

This wetland acts as a settling basin for sediment laden runoff and stormwater 

storage for the surrounding area. Wetland soils consisted of mostly clay loams to the 

recorded boring depth of 8-inches. Soil observation 1W meets the redox dark surface 

(F6) indicator within the first 8-inches of soil profile. The indicator requires a layer that 

is at least 4 inches thick, starting within a depth 8 inches from the soil surface, and has 

either: a. a matrix value of 3 or less and a chroma of 1 or less and 2 percent or more 

distinct or prominent redox concentrations occurring as soft masses or pore linings, or 

b. matrix value of 3 or less and chroma of 2 or less and 5 percent or more distinct or 

prominent redox concentrations occurring as soft masses or pore linings (NRCS, 2018). 

The hydric soil borings had 10YR 2/1 matrix at 90% from 0-8 inches, with redoximorphic 

concentrations (3-10%) throughout the profile.

Wetlands 2a (0.06), 2b (0.03), 2c (0.01), 2d (0.04), & 2e (0.08) – 0.22 acres

Wetland 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, & 2e (Photos 2-4 in Appendix C) consists of 0.22

acres of palustrine, emergent, temporarily flooded, excavated ditch wetland 

(PEM1Ax) (Table 1, Wetlands). The multiple basins of Wetland 2 are adjacent to 

the surface road underneath the 55th Street SE overpass and the roads along the 

west side of Minot Milling. On-site observations indicates that hydrology 

supporting Wetland 2 is likely from surface water ponding. The main 

contributors of hydrology are likely snowmelt and runoff from the surrounding 

roadways and topography and possibly groundwater discharges. The wetland 

boundaries were determined by observing changes in the plant community and 

the general topography of the suspected wetland. No soils observation was 

conducted due to high potential for utility conflicts. The observed plants at the 
Port of ND-CRISI Grant January 2022

Field Aquatic Resource Delineation Report

Wetland 2 observation pair (2U & 2W) included Elymus repens (FACU), Bouteleua 

gracilis (FACU), and Bromus inermis (UPL) as dominant upland species and Typha

angustifolia (OBL). The mapped soil series (NRCS, 2021) for this location was 

Vallers loam, saline, 0 to 1% slopes. Hydrology indicators observed include 

drainage patterns (B10), FAC-Neutral Test (D5), and geomorphic position (D2)

(Army Corps of Engineers, 1987). 

This wetland acts as a settling basin for sediment laden runoff and groundwater 

recharge. 

Wetland 3 – 0.30 acres

Wetland 3 (Photo 5 in Appendix C) consists of 0.30 acres of palustrine, 

emergent, seasonally flooded wetland (PEM1C) (Table 1, Wetlands). Wetland 3

is a small depression located within the active port. The active loading and 

unloading operations along with the placement of storage containers on or near 

this site prohibited a field delineation of this feature. The wetland area 

delineated was based off inundation noted on aerial imagery on several years. 

Climatic conditions at the time of the field work were generally dry but this site 

was observed to have standing water throughout the duration of field work 

conducted in the vicinity. Off-site observations indicate that hydrology 

supporting Wetland 3 is likely from surface water ponding. The main 

contributors of hydrology are likely snowmelt and runoff from the surrounding 

topography. The wetland boundaries were determined by reviewing aerial 

imagery and site topography. The mapped soil series (NRCS, 2021) for this 

location was Vallers loam, saline, 0 to 1% slopes. . Hydrology indicators 

observed include inundation visible on aerial imagery (B7) and saturation visible 

on aerial imagery (C9) (Army Corps of Engineers, 1987). 

This wetland acts as a settling basin for sediment laden runoff, groundwater 

recharge, and stormwater storage.

Wetland 4 – 3.79 acres

Wetland 4 (Photo 6 in Appendix C) consists of 3.79 acres of palustrine, 

emergent, seasonally flooded wetland (PEM1C) (Table 1, Wetlands). Wetland 4

is a depression located near Souris Valley Ready-Mix’s facility. A drainage ditch 

(OW2-D) connects Wetland 4 to other drainages to the south of the basin. Onsite observations indicates that hydrology supporting Wetland 4 is likely from 

surface water ponding. The main contributors of hydrology are likely snowmelt 

and runoff from the surrounding topography and adjacent roadway. The 
Port of ND-CRISI Grant January 2022

Field Aquatic Resource Delineation Report

wetland boundaries were determined by conducting a soil observation pair, 

changes in the plant community, and the general topography of the suspected 

wetland. The observed plants at the Wetland 4 observation pair included Bassia 

scoparia (FACU), Poa pratensis (FACU), and Bromus inermis (UPL) as dominant 

upland species and Spartina pectinata (FACW) as the dominant wetland species. 

The mapped soil series (NRCS, 2021) for this location was Tonka silt loam, 0 to 

1% slopes. The hydric soil indicator (Field Indicators, USDA/NRCS, 2018) found 

in the Wetland 4’s soil observation (Obs. 3W) was depleted matrix (F3). 

Hydrology indicators observed include saturation visible on aerial imagery (C9), 

FAC-Neutral Test (D5), and geomorphic position (D2) (Army Corps of Engineers, 

1987).

This wetland acts as a settling basin for sediment laden runoff, groundwater 

recharge, and stormwater storage. Wetland soils consisted of loams to the 

recorded boring depth of 10 inches. Soil observation 3W meets the depleted 

matrix (F3) indicator within the first 10-inches of soil profile. The indicator 

requires a depleted matrix six inches in thickness starting within 10 inches below 

the surface. The hydric soil borings had 10YR 4/2 matrix at 90% from 0-10 

inches, with redoximorphic concentrations (10%) throughout the profile.

Wetland 5 – 0.05 acres

Wetland 5 (Photo 7 in Appendix C) consists of 0.05 acres of palustrine, 

emergent, temporarily flooded, farmed wetland (PEM1A) (Table 1, Wetlands). 

Wetland 5 is located along the northside of the north railroad siding along the 

edge of the south Port facilities. On-site observations indicates that hydrology 

supporting Wetland 5 is likely from surface water ponding. The main 

contributors of hydrology are likely snowmelt and runoff from the surrounding 

topography. The wetland boundaries were determined by conducting a soil 

observation pair, changes in the plant community, and the general topography 

of the suspected wetland. The mapped soil series (NRCS, 2021) for this location 

was Heimdal-Emrick loams, 0 to 3% slopes. The observed plants at the Wetland 

5 observation pair included Poa pratensis (FACU) as dominant upland species 

and Phalaris arundinacea (FACW) as the dominant wetland species. The hydric 

soil indicator (Field Indicators, USDA/NRCS, 2018) found in the Wetland 5’s soil 

observation (Obs. 2W-2) was redox dark surface (F6). Hydrology indicators 

observed include saturation visible on aerial imagery (C9) and geomorphic 

position (D2) (Army Corps of Engineers, 1987). 

This wetland acts as a settling basin for sediment laden runoff and stormwater 

storage for the surrounding area. Wetland soils consisted of mostly sandy loams to the

recorded boring depth of 16-inches. Soil observation 2W-2 meets the redox dark 

surface (F6) indicator within the first 12-inches of soil profile. The indicator requires a 

layer that is at least 4 inches thick, starting within a depth 8 inches from the soil surface, 

and has either: a. a matrix value of 3 or less and a chroma of 1 or less and 2 percent or 

more distinct or prominent redox concentrations occurring as soft masses or pore 

linings, or b. matrix value of 3 or less and chroma of 2 or less and 5 percent or more 

distinct or prominent redox concentrations occurring as soft masses or pore linings 

(NRCS, 2018). The hydric soil borings had 10YR 2/1 matrix at 90% from 8-14 inches, 

with redoximorphic concentrations (10%) throughout the redox profile.

Wetland 6 – 0.25 acres

Wetland 6 (Photo 8 (in background) in Appendix C) consists of 0.25 acres 

of palustrine, emergent, temporarily flooded wetland (PEM1A) (Table 1, 

Wetlands). Wetland 6 is in the field east of the Port Office building and scale 

area. On-site observations indicates that hydrology supporting Wetland 6 is 

likely from surface water ponding. The main contributors of hydrology are likely 

snowmelt and runoff from the surrounding topography. The wetland boundaries 

were determined by conducting a soil observation pair, changes in the plant 

community, and the general topography of the suspected wetland. The mapped 

soil series (NRCS, 2021) for this location was Heimdal-Emrick loams, 0 to 3% 

slopes. The observed plants at the Wetland 6 observation pair included Bassia 

scoparia (FACU), Poa pratensis (FACU), and Bromus inermis (UPL) as dominant 

upland species and Phalaris arundinacea (FACW) as the dominant wetland 

species. The hydric soil indicator (Field Indicators, USDA/NRCS, 2018) found in 

the Wetland 6’s soil observation (Obs. 4W) was redox dark surface (F6). 

Hydrology indicators observed include saturation visible on aerial imagery (C9) 

and geomorphic position (D2) (Army Corps of Engineers, 1987). 

This wetland acts as a settling basin for sediment laden runoff and stormwater 

storage for the surrounding area. Wetland soils consisted of loams and sandy loams to 

the recorded boring depth of 10-inches. Soil observation 4W meets the redox dark 

surface (F6) indicator within the first 12-inches of soil profile. The indicator requires a 

layer that is at least 4 inches thick, starting within a depth 8 inches from the soil surface, 

and has either: a. a matrix value of 3 or less and a chroma of 1 or less and 2 percent or 

more distinct or prominent redox concentrations occurring as soft masses or pore 

linings, or b. matrix value of 3 or less and chroma of 2 or less and 5 percent or more 

distinct or prominent redox concentrations occurring as soft masses or pore linings 
Port of ND-CRISI Grant January 2022

(NRCS, 2018). The hydric soil borings had 10YR 2/1 matrix at 95% from 0-10 inches, 

with redoximorphic concentrations (5%) throughout the redox profile.

Wetland 7 – 0.04 acres

Wetland 7 (Photo 8 (in foreground) in Appendix C) consists of 0.04 acres 

of palustrine, emergent, temporarily flooded wetland (PEM1A) (Table 1, 

Wetlands). Wetland 7 is in the field east of the Port Office building and scale. It 

is located just northwest of Wetland 6. On-site observations indicates that 

hydrology supporting Wetland 7 is likely from surface water ponding. The main 

contributors of hydrology are likely snowmelt and runoff from the surrounding 

topography. The wetland boundaries were determined by conducting a soil 

observation pair (with the upland point shared with Wetland 6), changes in the 

plant community, and the general topography of the suspected wetland. The 

mapped soil series (NRCS, 2021) for this location was Heimdal-Emrick loams, 0 to 

3% slopes. The observed plants at the Wetland 6 observation pair included 

Bassia scoparia (FACU), Poa pratensis (FACU), and Bromus inermis (UPL) as 

dominant upland species and Phalaris arundinacea (FACW) as the dominant 

wetland species. The hydric soil indicator (Field Indicators, USDA/NRCS, 2018) 

found in the Wetland 7’s soil observation (Obs. 4W2) was depleted matrix (F3). 

Hydrology indicators observed include saturation visible on aerial imagery (C9) 

and geomorphic position (D2) (Army Corps of Engineers, 1987). 

This wetland acts as a settling basin for sediment laden runoff and stormwater 

storage for the surrounding area. Wetland soils consisted of loams to the recorded 

boring depth of 16-inches. Soil observation 4W2 meets the depleted matrix (F3) 

indicator within the first 14-inches of soil profile. The indicator requires a depleted 

matrix six inches in thickness starting within 10 inches below the surface. The hydric soil 

borings had 10YR 4/2 matrix at 90% from 8-16 inches, with redoximorphic 

concentrations (10%) throughout the profile.

Wetland 8 – 0.55 acres

Wetland 8 (Photo 9 in Appendix C) consists of 0.55 acres of palustrine, 

emergent, temporarily flooded wetland (PEM1A) (Table 1, Wetlands). Wetland 

8 is in the field east of the Port Office building and scale. On-site observations 

indicates that hydrology supporting Wetland 6 is likely from surface water

Field Aquatic Resource Delineation Report

Chapter 5. Conclusion

Off-site references were reviewed prior to and after the onsite, field wetland 

delineations performed in October and November 2021. The off-site and onsite 

investigations revealed 52.96 acres of wetland along with 15.4 acres and 4,369 linear 

feet of non-wetland other waters located within the Study Area (see Figures 2.1 and 2.2). 

A determination regarding jurisdiction by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers should 

be conducted prior to any activities that may impact wetlands or other waters identified 

in this report. This wetland delineation and OHWM determination meets the standards 

and criteria described in 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual

(Environmental Laboratory, 1987) and the 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of 

Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Great Plains Region (U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, 2010) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 05-05

(U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2005). The results and conclusions represent the 

conditions at the time of the onsite, field investigation.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (701) 837-8737.

The next 52 sheets are maps of the project area. These maps show either histor-

ic aerial imagery of the project area or the Color Infrared Imagery (CIR Imagery), 

which depicts vegetative cover on the landscape. This historic imagery is from 

the years of 2003, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 

and 2020. Each of these years is followed by CIR imagery of the same year for 

the project area. These maps show minor amounts of development and agricul-

tural activity occuring between 2003 and 2009 adjacent to the southern portion of 

the project area. Additional development begins to occur within the project area 

between 2009 and 2010, large areas of dirt work are visibile in the 2012 through 

2020 aerials. Vegetative cover within the projecet area appears to decrease over 

time as shown on the CIR imagery.

The next two sheets show the project area displayed on 7.5-minute U.S. Topographic Maps from USGS. The project area is located in the southwest corner of 

the Deering SW Quadrangle map and within the northwest corner of the Surrey 

Quadrangle map, both within Ward County, ND.

Two sheets show the project area displayed on 7.5-minute U.S. Topographic 

Maps from USGS. The project area is located in the southwest corner of the 

Deering SW Quadrangle map and within the northwest corner of the Surrey 

Quadrangle map, both within Ward County, ND.

Six sheets show portions of the project area (the eastern portion, the northeast, 

the northwest, the south, the southwest, and the west). Each map section also 

displays the aquatic resources as recorded by the USFWS’ National Wetlands 

Inventory. A majority of wetlands recorded within the project area and near vicinity are classifed as “freshwater emergent wetlands” with several “riverine” and 

“freshwater pond” features within the area as well.

Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator 

projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts 

distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the 

Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more 

accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

Description

"Water table" refers to a saturated zone in the soil. It occurs during specified 

months. Estimates of the upper limit are based mainly on observations of the 

water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone, namely 

grayish colors (redoximorphic features) in the soil. A saturated zone that lasts for 

less than a month is not considered a water table.

This attribute is actually recorded as three separate values in the database. A 

low value and a high value indicate the range of this attribute for the soil 

component. A "representative" value indicates the expected value of this attribute 

for the component. For this soil property, only the representative value is used.

Hydric Rating by Map Unit—Ward County, North Dakota PORT CRISI Grant Soils

Description

This rating indicates the percentage of map units that meets the criteria for hydric 

soils. Map units are composed of one or more map unit components or soil 

types, each of which is rated as hydric soil or not hydric. Map units that are made 

up dominantly of hydric soils may have small areas of minor nonhydric 

components in the higher positions on the landform, and map units that are made 

up dominantly of nonhydric soils may have small areas of minor hydric 

components in the lower positions on the landform. Each map unit is rated based 

on its respective components and the percentage of each component within the 

map unit.

The thematic map is color coded based on the composition of hydric 

components. The five color classes are separated as 100 percent hydric 

components, 66 to 99 percent hydric components, 33 to 65 percent hydric 

components, 1 to 32 percent hydric components, and less than one percent 

hydric components.

In Web Soil Survey, the Summary by Map Unit table that is displayed below the 

map pane contains a column named 'Rating'. In this column the percentage of 

each map unit that is classified as hydric is displayed.

Hydric soils are defined by the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils 

(NTCHS) as soils that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding 

long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the 

upper part (Federal Register, 1994). Under natural conditions, these soils are 

either saturated or inundated long enough during the growing season to support 

the growth and reproduction of hydrophytic vegetation.

The NTCHS definition identifies general soil properties that are associated with 

wetness. In order to determine whether a specific soil is a hydric soil or nonhydric 

soil, however, more specific information, such as information about the depth and 

duration of the water table, is needed. Thus, criteria that identify those estimated 

soil properties unique to hydric soils have been established (Federal Register, 

2002). These criteria are used to identify map unit components that normally are 

associated with wetlands. The criteria used are selected estimated soil properties 

that are described in "Soil Taxonomy" (Soil Survey Staff, 1999) and "Keys to Soil 

Taxonomy" (Soil Survey Staff, 2006) and in the "Soil Survey Manual" (Soil Survey 

Division Staff, 1993).

If soils are wet enough for a long enough period of time to be considered hydric, 

they should exhibit certain properties that can be easily observed in the field. 

These visible properties are indicators of hydric soils. The indicators used to 

make onsite determinations of hydric soils are specified in "Field Indicators of 

Hydric Soils in the United States" (Hurt and Vasilas, 2006).
