<br />10 <br />would be planted using the Bank Stabilization strategy (orange polygon, approx. 0.3 acres) and <br />transition into Floodplain Forest strategy (green polygon, approx. 6.3 acres) farther from the <br />riverbanks for the remainder of the site. There is a dike between the former building site and the <br />riverbank. The dike would be breached or removed to prevent water from ponding. <br /> <br />Site 32 – OIN 1990: <br />This site is located immediately adjacent to the Red River of the North, measures approximately <br />23.1 acres and has old oxbows located onsite. It contains a former building site, and a portion of <br />western side of the property is currently in agricultural production. This site is located directly <br />adjacent to the existing mitigation efforts at the aforementioned OHB mitigation site. <br />Approximately half of this site falls within the 10-year flood inundation boundary. This site is <br />comprised of three primary soil types, with the majority of the site comprised of Wahpeton silty <br />clay (I248A), which is described as being found on 0-2% slopes and occasionally flooded. The <br />major component (70%) is listed as Wahpeton, which is a moderately well drained, non-hydric, <br />clayey soil. Smaller portions of the site are mapped as Wahpeton silty clay (I451D), which is <br />described as being found on 1-15% slopes and occasionally flooded. The major components <br />are listed as Wahpeton (35%), which is a moderately well drained, non-hydric clayey soil, and <br />Cashel (25%), a somewhat poorly drained, non-hydric loamy overflow soil. The north-eastern <br />portion of the site is comprised of Cashel silty clay (I293B), which is found in 0-6% slopes and <br />occasionally flooded. The major soil component (80%) is Cashel, a loamy overflow that is non- <br />hydric, but somewhat poorly drained. After planting, this site would expand existing riparian <br />buffer habitat in the Red River system. The steeper sloped areas adjacent to the river would be <br />planted using the Bank Stabilization strategy (orange polygon, approx. 0.6 acres) and transition <br />into Floodplain Forest (green polygon, approx. 22.5 acres) for the remainder of the site. Some <br />invasive buckthorn was observed onsite in the June 2022 site visit notes. <br /> <br />Site 33 – OIN 1990: <br />This site is located near the Red River of the North and measures approximately 3.4 acres. Is <br />currently in agricultural production, and a cursory review of aerial imagery shows agriculture use <br />for at least the last 30 years. The majority of this site, approximately 80% lies within the 10-year <br />flood inundation boundary, and the entire site is comprised entirely of Wahpeton silty clay <br />(I248A), which is described as being found on 0-2% slopes and occasionally flooded. The major <br />component (70%) is listed as Wahpeton, which is a moderately well drained, non-hydric, clayey <br />soil. Although smaller in size, this is a high priority site for forest re-establishment, and after <br />reforestation, would expand existing riparian buffer habitat in the Red River system. This site <br />would be reforested using the Floodplain Forest strategy (green polygon) across the entire site. <br />Invasive buckthorn was observed onsite in June 2022 and would be removed during planting. <br /> <br />Site 34 – OIN 1992: <br />This site is a former building site that is located immediately adjacent to the Red River of the <br />North and measures approximately 3.3 acres. There are significant erosional issues on the <br />eastern edge of the site along the river. The site is comprised of three primary soil types, with <br />the majority being mapped as Wahpeton silty clay (I451D), which is described as being found <br />on 1-15% slopes and occasionally flooded. The major components are listed as Wahpeton
