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 Al 1 (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 />
