RE: SER Project Name: <br />SER Project No.: <br />Van Eeckhout • Orono Parcel Delineation <br />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 />its status, this parcel wa$ visited by Svoboda Ecological Resources (SER) on October 14,1998. At this <br />time, two areas were determined to be jurisdictional wetland 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 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 />* rt. <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 nodhem 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 wetland status. In addition, the boundary of the nodh western finger of this basin <br />was redrawn and reduced (Figure I). This reed canary grass dominated area .recently has become drier <br />due to the presence of a drainage ditch. Thus, the extent of the wetland boundary as was detennined 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 />Should you have any questions about these revised boundaries, please call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Svoboda Ecological Resources <br />Franklin J.
