� <br /> Vegetation was sampled within each stratum present at a sample point using the following circular <br /> plot sizes: <br /> • Trees - 30 ft radius <br /> • Saplings and Shrubs - 15 ft radius <br /> • Herbaceous - 5 ft radius <br /> • Woody Vines - 30 ft radius <br /> The sample points were marked with 4-foot lathe, photographed, and flagged with surveyor's tape <br /> (if not within an agricultural land use). Other samples were taken at unmarked locations to <br /> provide verification of the wetland edge, as needed. <br /> Wetland Boundary Delineation <br /> The wetland boundaries were determined using changes in topography, dominance of <br /> hydrophytic/non-hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil indicators, and/or hydrology characteristics. <br /> Wetland edges were marked with pink"wetland delineation" flags. The wetland edge is considered <br /> to be the highest extent of the wetland basin. Areas below the flagged edge satisfy the three <br /> required wetland criteria while areas above were lacking in one or more of these criteria. <br /> US Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory Guidance Letter 90-6 requires documentation sufficient to <br /> allow a reasonably accurate replication of the delineation at a future date. Reasonably accurate is <br /> defined as within 0-2 meters accuracy. Precise positions of sample points and the wetland edge <br /> have been located by a sub-meter GPS unit and have been included in the wetland delineation <br /> drawing or map for this property. <br /> Wetland Type Classification <br /> Wetlands were classified using Wet/and Plants and P/ant Communities of Minnesota and Wisconsin <br /> (Eggers & Reed 2007), Classification of Wet/ands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States <br /> (Cowardin, et al, 1979) and Wetlands of the United States (Fish and Wildlife Service Circular 39, <br /> Shaw and Fredine 1971). <br /> Findings <br /> ������ t��- ,� s=��_.�; <br /> The NWI map lists one NWI signature in the southern half of the investigation area. The basin is listed <br /> as a Palustrine Emergent Persistent Semi Permanently Flooded wetland (PEM1F). The basin complex is <br /> shown in Figure 2, Appendix A. <br /> 1760 Shoreline Dr. - Wetland Delineation Report Page 5 <br /> ISG Project No. 20712 <br />
