r Bo'vcr Lakevicw Terraco Site Number 02120IIU Fonns (located in the back of the report) detail the tlirce technical criteria (hydroplutic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology) as described in the 19S7 Manu.al. The wetland edae(s) were delineated where one. two. or all three of these technical criteria drop out. In order to expedite regulatory review, some wetlasul edges were delineated such that the hvdroloiiv criterion was not met below ilte delineated edee. A\. some time in the future, th.e landowner may choose to have the hydrology criterion below the delineated edges examined more closely in order to “tighten tip" a wetland edge that was staked high. This detailed hydrologic study w.i.s not part of this wetland delineation. .•\t least one sample point transect peivendicularly cro.<scs each delineated edge. These transects consist ofune sample point above the edge, oite sample point below the edge, and there may be one alonu th.e edee. .•\ Umitinc Onsite Determination I’orm tdat.t ronn) was completed for each of the s,.::i;;)'.e p.ii:*.. loeations.
