The wetland bttundary was based on a dominance of Narrow Leaf Canail (T\pha (ingusitfolia. <br />OBL). and Wild Mint (Mentha arxensis. FACW) on the wetland side of the t^undary and a <br />dominance of Common Buckthorn (Rhamnns canhartica. FACU) on the upland side of the <br />boundary. The boundary was also based on an abrupt decline in elevation from uplar«d to wetland <br />and the fact that the soil was cither saturated to the surface or fiooded m seseral areas along the <br />boundary on the wetland side <br />SER used 20 lath to delineate the wetland boundary of Basin I <br />Photographs I through 6 (Photo Log) depicts Basin I at the lime of the site visit. <br />CONCLUSIONS <br />SER examined the subject property and delineated one wetland basin, which exhibited a <br />dominance of hydrophsiic vegetation, hydric soils and wetland hydrology. Basin I was classified <br />as Type 3 5 (PEMC/UBH) wetland complex. <br />RECOM .M EN RATIONS <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 a.< * .etiand. <br />Depending on the location of the property, buffers around the w etland may also be protected. Any <br />activities in the proximity of the w etland should be cleared w ith appropriate WCA regulatory <br />agencies. It is also advisable to ha\c the wetland bounda.-y surxeyed by a licensed land surveyor, <br />or located with a sub-meter GPS unit. Since the lath used along the boundary can be \ andalizcJ <br />or inadvertently knocked over, a survey cr GPS location of the lath will assure the permanence of <br />the boundary. The client should also be aware that approved wetland boundanes arc 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 y ou have any <br />questions regarding the information in this report.
