upland area is dominated by sugar maple (Acer saccharum), green ash (Fraxinus <br /> pennsylvanica), common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) and common dandelion <br /> (Taraxacum officinals). <br /> The boundary for Wetland 1 exhibited rather steep slopes (a sharp transition in <br /> ' topography); in general there was a defined transition between the reed canary grass <br /> (wetland) and the maple, buckthorn, and dandelion (upland). The wetland soil boring <br /> met the F3 (Depleted Matrix) hydric soil indicator with High Water Table, Saturation to <br /> ' the Surface, Geomorphic Position, Crayfish Burrows, Oxidized Rhizospheres, and FAC — <br /> Neutral Test hydrology indicators present. The upland soil boring did not meet a hydric <br /> soil indicator and was lacking hydrology indicators. In general, the wetland boundary <br /> was placed where the soil was saturated to the surface. Much of Wetland 1 is floodplain <br /> wetland adjacent to the creek. <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 (LGU) and potentially other agencies (Local, State, Federal). <br /> 1 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 /> ✓3.
