<br />(35%), which is a moderately well drained, non-hydric clayey soil, and Cashel (25%), a
<br />somewhat poorly drained, non-hydric loamy overflow soil. The second most abundant soil type
<br />is Cashel silty clay (I293B), which is found in 0-6% slopes and occasionally flooded. The major
<br />soil component (80%) is Cashel, a loamy overflow that is non-hydric, but somewhat poorly
<br />drained. Third most abundant is Sinai silty clay (I475B) which is described as being found on 0-
<br />6% slopes. The major component (80%) is listed as Sinai, which is a well-drained, non-hydric,
<br />clayey soil. Although this is a smaller property, it would provide additional riparian buffer benefits
<br />to the Red River system and would allow for the erosional issues onsite to be addressed. The
<br />sloped areas adjacent to the river would be planted using the Bank Stabilization strategy
<br />(orange polygon, approx. 0.5 acres) and transition into Floodplain Forest strategy (green
<br />polygon, approx. 2.8 acres) on the higher elevations, farther from the river.
<br />
<br />Site 35 – OIN 8527:
<br />This site also consists of former building sites that are located immediately adjacent to the Red
<br />River of the North, and it measures approximately 3.2 acres total, and there are significant
<br />erosional issues on the western edge along the river. The site is comprised of three primary soil
<br />types, with the majority being mapped as Aazdahl clay loam (I734A), which is found on 0-2%
<br />slopes. The major components are listed as Aazdahl (85%), which is a moderately well drained,
<br />non-hydric loamy soil. The second most abundant soil type is Zell silt loam (I150B), which is
<br />found in 2-6% slopes. The major soil components are Zell (55%), a non-hydric, well drained,
<br />thin loamy soil. Third most abundant is Cashel silty clay (I293B), which is found in 0-6% slopes
<br />and occasionally flooded. The major soil component (80%) is Cashel, a loamy overflow that is
<br />non-hydric, but somewhat poorly drained. Although this is a smaller property, it would provide
<br />additional riparian buffer benefits to the Red River system and would allow for the erosional
<br />issues onsite to be addressed. The sloped areas adjacent to the river would be planted using
<br />the Bank Stabilization strategy (orange polygon, approx. 0.3 acres) and transition into
<br />Floodplain Forest strategy (green polygon, approx. 2.9 acres) on the higher elevations, farther
<br />from the river.
<br />
<br />Site 36 – OIN 1251, 1237:
<br />This site is located immediately adjacent to the Red River of the North, measures approximately
<br />6.4 acres and has significant erosional issues along the river. It contains a former building site,
<br />and a large portion of the property is currently in agricultural production. The majority of the site
<br />is mapped as Bearden silt loam (I467A) which is found on 0-2% slopes. The major component
<br />is listed as Bearden (70%), which is a somewhat poorly drained, non-hydric limy sub-irrigated
<br />soil. The other portion of the site, nearer to the river, is Wahpeton-Cashel silty clay (I416D),
<br />which is found on 1-15% slopes, and occasionally flooded. The major soil components are
<br />Wahpeton (40%), a moderately well drained, non-hydric clayey soil and Cashel (25%), a non-
<br />hydric loamy overflow that is somewhat poorly drained. Reforestation of this site would provide
<br />additional riparian buffer benefits to the Red River system and would allow for the erosional
<br />issues onsite to be addressed. The sloped areas adjacent to the river would be planted using
<br />the Bank Stabilization strategy (orange polygon, approx. 2.2 acres) and transition into
<br />Floodplain Forest strategy (green polygon, approx. 4.3 acres) on the higher elevations, farther
<br />from the river.
