The upland sample point was dominated by sugar maple {Acar .saccharum, <br />FACU). Non-dominant plant species at the upland sample point included American basswood (Jilici <br />Americana, FACU). and common buckthorn. The majority of Basin I is dominated by cattail <br />species. A dork organic mucky loam overlaying sand with redox features below 6 inches <br />characterized soils at the wetland sample point. Soils at the upland sample point were characterized <br />by a brown loam to clay loam overlaying a sandy clay loam mineral soil with few redox features <br />below 10 inches. Water was observed at 12 inches below the soil surface at the wetland sample <br />point, no water was observed within the borehole at the upland sample point. <br />Approximately 20 lath were used to delineate «iis basin. A topographic break, the transition from <br />hydrophytic vegetation to upland vegetation, and depth to free water in the borehole were used as the <br />primary boundary cues while delineating this basin. <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 filling, <br />draining, or excavating, or any impact to the area SER has delineated as wetland. Depending on the <br />location of the property, buffers around the wetland may also be protected. Any activities in tlie <br />proximity of the wetland should be cleared with appropriate WCA regulatory agencies. The client <br />should also be aware that approved wetland boundaries are typically valid for only three years from <br />the date of approval. <br />CONCLUSIONS <br />SER examined the subject property and delineated one wetland located within the subject parcel <br />(Figure 5). The delineated wetland boundary exhibited a dominance of hydrophytic vegetation, <br />hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Based on the apparent permanence of wetland characteristics <br />within Basin 1, this basin likely receives hydrologic inputs from the shallow groundwater table, as <br />well as from runoff from the surrounding landscape. <br />Please feel free to contact Ben Carlson 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 to <br />assist you with this project and we look forward to serving any future needs that you may have. <br />Sincerely, <br />Svoboda Ecological Resources <br />Franklin J.
