Primary hydrology indicators were not observed at <br />the upland sample point and no hydric soil indicators were found in the 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 change in topography. The basin was shown as a PEM1C/PSS1C wetland on the NWI map <br />(Figure 2) and was located within an area mapped as Hamel, overwash-Hamel (RATING=45) by the Web <br />Soil Survey (Figure 7). <br />Sample data sheets 2 -UP and 2 -WET in Appendix B correspond to this basin. <br />Basin 3 <br />Basin 3 was an approximately 2 -acre, type 3/7, PEM1C/PF01Ad, shallow marsh/hardwood swamp <br />(ditched) wetland. The basin was dominated by Wooly Sedge (OBL), Narrowleaf Cattail (OBL), Reed <br />Canary Grass (FACW), Box Elder (FAC), and Green Ash (FACW). <br />Hydrology indicators included A2 (high water table) and A3 (saturation). <br />Wetland soils met indicators F1 (loamy mucky mineral) and A3 (black histic). <br />Adjacent upland was typically dominated by Reed Canary Grass (FACW), Virginia Waterleaf (FAC), <br />Green Ash (FACW), Common Buckthorn (FAC), Kentucky Bluegrass (FAC), and Ground Ivy (FACU). <br />Primary hydrology indicators were not observed at the upland sample point. Hydric soil indicator A11 <br />(depleted below dark surface) was found in the upland soil at sample point 3 -1 -UP. <br />The wetland boundary followed a change in vegetation from wetland to upland plant communities, as well <br />as a gradual change in topography. The basin was shown as a PEM1C wetland on the NWI map (Figure <br />2) and was located within an area mapped as Muskego and Houghton soils (RATING=100) and Lester <br />loam (RATING=O) by the Web Soil Survey (Figure 7). <br />Sample data sheets 3 -1 -UP, 3 -1 -WET, 3 -2 -UP, and 3 -2 -WET in Appendix B correspond to this basin. <br />4.0 CONFIRMATION OF JURISDICTIONAL STATUS <br />Jacobson Environmental is submitting this report to the client and regulatory agencies to request a <br />wetland boundary and type determination.
