RE; SER Project Name: Van Eeckhout - Orono Parcel D., .neation <br />.SER Project No.; 93-060-03 ‘ . <br />* <br />. <br />Dear Ml. Weinberger, . • . <br />• <br />The purpose of this letter is to provide you with an update regarding the above project. To briefly review <br />its status, this parcel wa? visited by Svobodai Ecological Resources (SER) on October 14, 1998. At this <br />• time, tNvo areas were determined to be jurisdictional wetland and were delineated by SER (see SER <br />Report No. 98-060-03 for more detail). The edges of these wetlands were located by SER using a <br />Trimble Ag 132 GPS equipped with a. Juniper Systems field data collector. Positions were differentially <br />corrected in real-time using signals transmitted by the Coast Guard station in Alma, Wisconsin. This <br />system is capable of sub-meter accuracy when using real-time differential correction in the field. <br />• • • <br />In 2000, SER determined that the boundaries of Basin. 1. needed revision due to factors that were not <br />evident at the time of field visitation. The northern boundary was redrawn and reduced (Figure 1). .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 w etland status, in addition, the boundary of the northwestern finger of this basin <br />was redrawn and reduced (Figure 1). This reed canary grass dominated area^recently has become drier <br />due to the presence of a drainage ditch. Thus, the e.\tent of the wetland bpundary as was determined in <br />1998 was decided to over-exaggerate the scope of the northwestern wetland edge. Please note that the . <br />modified boundaries on Figure 1 are not exact and are subject to field verification. <br />•. <br />Should you have any questions about these revised boundaries, please call me, <br />i <br />Sincerely, <br />Svoboda Ecological Resources <br />Franklin J.
