<br />(I451D), which is described as being found on 1-15% slopes and occasionally flooded. The
<br />major components are listed as Wahpeton (35%), which is a moderately well drained, non-
<br />hydric clayey soil, and Cashel (25%), a somewhat poorly drained, non-hydric loamy overflow
<br />soil. Although this is a smaller property, it would provide additional riparian buffer benefits to the
<br />Wild Rice River and would allow for the erosional issues onsite to be addressed. The sloped
<br />areas adjacent to the river would be planted using the Bank Stabilization strategy (orange
<br />polygon, approx. 1.7 acres) and transition into Floodplain Forest strategy (green polygon,
<br />approx. 7.9 acres) farther from the river.

<br />Site 22 – OIN 250:
<br />This site is located immediately adjacent to the Red River of the North, measures approximately
<br />8 acres, and is situated adjacent to the future Red River Structure. It contains a former building
<br />site and a large area that is currently in agricultural production. Much of the northern half of the
<br />site lies within the 10-year flood inundation boundary. This site is comprised of three primary soil
<br />types, with the majority of the site comprised of Wahpeton silty clay (I248A), which is described
<br />as being found on 0-2% slopes and occasionally flooded. The major component (70%) is listed
<br />as Wahpeton, which is a moderately well drained, non-hydric, clayey soil. Smaller portions of
<br />the site are mapped as Wahpeton silty clay (I248C), which is occasionally flooded and found on
<br />6-9% slopes. The major component (80%) is Wahpeton, described as a clayey, moderately well
<br />drained, non-hydric soil. The northern portion of the site is comprised of Cashel silty clay
<br />(I293B), which is found in 0-6% slopes and occasionally flooded. The major soil component
<br />(80%) is Cashel, a loamy overflow that is non-hydric, but somewhat poorly drained. This is a
<br />high priority site for floodplain forest re-establishment, and after reforestation, would expand
<br />existing riparian buffer habitat in the Red River system. This site would be reforested using the
<br />Floodplain Forest strategy (green polygon) across the entire site.
<br />
<br />Site 25 – OIN 809, 810, 811:
<br />This site is a former building site that is located immediately adjacent to the Red River of the
<br />North and measures approximately 6.6 acres. There are significant erosional issues on the
<br />northern end along the river, and more than half of the site falls within the 10-year flood
<br />inundation boundary. The site is comprised of four primary soil types, with the majority being
<br />mapped as Wahpeton silty clay (I451D), which is described as being found on 1-15% slopes
<br />and occasionally flooded. The major components are listed as Wahpeton (35%), which is a
<br />moderately well drained, non-hydric clayey soil, and Cashel (25%), a somewhat poorly drained,
<br />non-hydric loamy overflow soil. The second most abundant soil type is Cashel silty clay (I293B),
<br />which is found in 0-6% slopes and occasionally flooded. The major soil component (80%) is
<br />Cashel, a loamy overflow that is non-hydric, but somewhat poorly drained. Third most abundant
<br />is Wahpeton silty clay (I248A), which is described as being found on 0-2% slopes and
<br />occasionally flooded. The major component (70%) is listed as Wahpeton, which is a moderately
<br />well drained, non-hydric, clayey soil. Finally, the least abundant soil type is Fargo silty clay
<br />(I235A), that is typically depressional in 0-1% slopes, with Fargo being its major component
<br />(75%). Fargo is described as a clayey, poorly drained, hydric soil. Although this is a smaller
<br />property, it would provide additional riparian buffer benefits to the Red River system and would
<br />allow for the erosional issues onsite to be addressed. The sloped areas adjacent to the river
