The wetland <br /> delineation report was completed and submitted to MCWD on November 25, 2014.Due to the lateness <br /> of the year and an early snowfall on November 10, 2014, the wetland boundary could not be reviewed <br /> last fall. <br /> On Friday May 1, 2015 Elizabeth Brown sent an e-mail outlining the requirements discussed and <br /> agreed upon at the TEP review. <br /> An area near the Lakeshore in the vicinity of a wastewater sewer line paralleling the lakeshore and at <br /> the end of a surface drainageway was examined. This area was sampled in November and while the <br /> soils were hydric, an error on the data sheet pertaining to the vegetation resulted in the area being <br /> called non-wetland. The cedar trees present were identified as red cedar, an upland species, whereas <br /> the trees present were white cedar, Thuja occidentalis, FACW. Changing the tree species along with <br /> landscape position and soils resulted in the area being classified as a PFOA,Type 1 L Floodplain forest <br /> wetland. <br /> Included with this memo are the required revisions to Figures 5 and 6 in the original delineation report <br /> dated November 25,2014. <br /> A completed surrey of the wetland boundaries will be provided to MCWD when available. <br /> 1 <br />
