DELINEATIffi) OF WETLAND BOUNDARIES <br />The wetland boundaries present within this area were set on the basis <br />of soil and vegetative type. Flags were set along the line of trans­ <br />ition from wetland peat soils to upland mineral soils. These flags <br />were set at intervals of 50 to 75 feet apart. The firm of Egan, Field <br />and Nowak then will survey these points to determine the contour line <br />which can be used to set the wetland boundaries. <br />VI. CONCLUSIONS <br />This area has large portions which lie either within the wetland areas, <br />or which consist of poorly drained soils. Finding suitable areas for <br />the disposal and treatment of septic tank effluent will be quite difficult. <br />A series of soil borings and percolation tests should be made on each <br />proposed lot in areas that are indicated as possible sites by the detailed <br />soils map provided with this report. Wlien areas are found which have <br />the required characteristics for systems as outlined in Section IV these <br />areas should be set aside and protected from any disturbance during con­ <br />struction of the houses and should be utilized only as on-site absorption <br />sites. <br />j <br />>1 <br />• I <br />.i <br />‘1 ♦ *.»i <br />r <br />'i <br />! <br />• I <br />^ '
