The wetland boundary was based on a dominance of Narrow Leaf Cattail (Typha angusii/blia. <br />OBL). and Wild Mint (Mentha arvensis, FACW) on the wetland side of the boundary and a <br />dominance of Common Buckthorn (Rhamnus carthartica. FACU) on the upland side of the <br />boundary. The boundary was also based on an abrupt decline in elevation from upland to wetland <br />and the fact that the soil was either saturated to the surface or flooded in several areas along the <br />boundary on the wetland side <br />• <br />SER used 20 lath to delineate the wetland boundary of Basin I. <br />Photographs 1 through 6 (Photo Log) depicts Basin 1 at the time of the site visit. <br />CONCLUSIONS <br />SER examined the subject property and delineated one wetland basin, which exhibited a <br />dominance of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and wetland hydrology. Basin 1 was classified <br />as Type 3/5 (PEMC/UBH) wetland complex. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br />While the wetland boundary that SER has delineated is not official until approved by a WCA <br />approved local government unit (LGU), SER advises the property owner to refrain from any <br />filling, draining, or excavating, or any impact to the area SER has delineated as wetland. <br />Depending on the location of the property, buffers around the wetland may also be protected. Any <br />activities in the proximity of the wetland should be cleared with appropriate WCA regulatory <br />agencies. It is also advisable to have the wetland boundary surveyed by a licensed land surveyor, <br />or located with a sub-meter GPS unit. Since the lath used along the boundary can be vandalized <br />or inadvertently knocked over, a survey or GPS location of the lath will assure the permanence of <br />the boundary. The client should also be aware that approved wetland boundaries are typically <br />valid for only three years from the date of approval. <br />Please feel free to contact Brian Burgner or Frank Svoboda at (952) 471-1100 if you have any <br />questions regarding the information in this report. You will be receiving a follow-up phone call in <br />two to three weeks to see if there is anything else that is needed. SER appreciates the opportunity <br />to assist you with this project and we look forward to serv'ing any future needs that you might <br />have. <br />Sincerely, <br />Svoboda Ecological Resources <br />. ,Soo4t»i)c5^ <br />Franklin J.
