RE: SER Project Name: Van Eeckhoul - Orono Parcel Delineation <br />5ER Project No.: 98-060-03 <br />Dear Mr. Weinberger, <br />The purpose of this letter is to provide you with an update regarding the above project. To briefly review <br />iu status, this parcel wa^ visited by Svoboda Ecological Resources (SER) on (3ctober 14, 1998. At this <br />time; two areas were determined to be jurisdictional uxtiand and were delineated by SER (see SER <br />Repod No. 98-060-03 for more detail). The ed^es of these wetlands were located by SER using a <br />Trimble Ag |32 GPS equipped with a. Juniper Systems Held data collector. Positions were differentially <br />corrected in real-time using signals transmitted by the Coast Guard sution in Alma, Wisconsin. This <br />system is capable of sub-meter accuracy when using real-time differential correction in the field. <br />In 2000, SER determined that the boundaries of Basin. I needed revision due to factors that were not <br />evident at the time of field visitation. The northern boundary was redrawn and reduced (Figure I). This. <br />revision was due to the presence of sand and gravel fill found in this area, which indicated that it would <br />not meet jurisdictional wetland status. In aildition, the boundary of the northwestern finger of this basin <br />was redrawn and reduced (Figure 1). This reed canary grass domir»ated area .recently has become drier <br />due to the presence of a drainage ditch. Thus, the extent of the wetland bouiidary as was determined in <br />1998 was decided to over-exaggerate the scope of the northwestern wetla^ edge. Please note that the , <br />modified boundaries on Figure I are not exact and are subject to field verification. . . • • <br />Should you have any questions about these revised boundaries, please call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Svoboda Ecological Resources <br />Franklin J.
