The <br /> basin was dominated by Lesser Duckweed (OBL). <br /> Hydrology indicators included Al (surface water), A2 (high water table), A3 (saturation), and B14 (true <br /> aquatic plants). <br /> Wetland soils met indicators Al2 (thick dark surface) and F6 (redox dark surface). <br /> Adjacent upland was typically dominated by Kentucky Bluegrass (FAC), Ground Ivy(FACU), and <br /> Common Plantain (FACU). Primary hydrology indicators were not observed at the upland sample point. <br /> Hydric soil indicators All (depleted below dark surface) and F3 (depleted matrix)were found in the <br /> upland sample point soil. <br /> The wetland boundary followed a change in vegetation from wetland to upland plant communities, as well <br /> as a gradual to distinct change in topography. The basin was shown as a PUBG wetland on the NWI map <br /> (Figure 2) and was located within an area mapped as Lester-Kilkenny complex (RATING=5) by the Web <br /> Soil Survey(Figure 7). <br /> Sample data sheets 1-UP and 1-WET in Appendix B correspond to this basin. <br /> Basin 2 <br /> Basin 2 was an approximately 0.0223-acre, type 1/6, PEM1A/PSS1C, seasonally flooded basin/shrub- <br /> carr wetland. The basin was dominated by Slender Willow(FACW), Reed Canary Grass (FACW), and <br /> Gray Dogwood (FAC). <br /> Hydrology indicators included D2 (geomorphic position) and D5 (FAC neutral test). <br /> Wetland soils met indicators Al2 (thick dark surface). <br /> Wetland Delineation-Mitigation-Permitting-Monitoring-Banking-Functional Analysis-T& E Surveys 6 <br /> Phase I Environmental Assessments-EAW's-Soil ID-Soil Analysis & Delineation-Environmental Referrals <br /> Pond & Lake Weed Control &Fish Stocking-Tree Surveys-Natural Resource Management Plans <br />
