i � <br /> Field Results <br /> Wetland 1 <br /> AEC classified Wetland 1 as a Seasonally Flooded Basin (Type 1L, PFOIA)wetland(the <br /> wetland area within the parcel boundary). The wetland extends off the property to the <br /> north and transitions into a Shallow Marsh (Type 3, PEMC) wetland. Wetland 1 is <br /> dominated by wood nettle (Laportea Canadensis), reed canary grass (Phalaris <br /> arundinacea),boxelder(Acer negundo), and green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica)trees. <br /> The adjacent upland area is dominated by boxelder and green ash with a dense layer of <br /> common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica), honeysuckle (Lonicera tatarica), and garlic <br /> mustard(Alliaria petiolata). <br /> The wetland boundary was generally placed along the transition from wood nettle to <br /> common buckthorn and honeysuckle which correlated to a slight rise in elevation. <br /> The wetland soil boring met the A11 (Depleted below dark surface) hydric soil indicator <br /> and water was observed at 16" below the soil surface (with saturation at 6" below the <br /> surface). The upland soil boring did not meet a hydric soil indicator, no water or <br /> saturation was observed within the soil boring. <br /> Discussion <br /> One wetland basin was delineated within the parcel bounds. Areas delineated as wetland <br /> met the three criteria required for a wetland delineation; dominance of hydrophytic <br /> vegetation, presence of hydric soil, and (at a minimum) one primary hydrology indicator <br /> or two secondary hydrology indicators under normal conditions. <br /> In order to be official the wetland delineation must be reviewed and approved by the <br /> Local Government Unit (LGi� and potentially other agencies (Local, State, Federal). <br /> Any work within or adjacent to a wetland will require Wetland Conservation Act(WCA) <br /> permits (and potentially other permits). Please consult with AEC if you plan on filling, <br /> draining, excavating wetlands within your project location. <br /> If you have any questions regarding this report or any questions about our services please <br /> feel free to contact Ben Carlson at any time(612-237-5996). <br /> Thank you, <br /> .,/f�,�,. �,�.�.� <br /> Ben Carlson, WDC <br /> Ecologist/Owner <br /> Arrowhead Environmental Consulting <br /> 2 <br />
