Both basins had a mixture of marginal vegetation that <br />includes ragweed, clover and barnyard grass. The soil in Basin 10 was the same as found in the <br />adjacent soybean field. There was saturation and small pockets of standing water, but the <br />saturation was only on the top 3 inches. No saturation, mottling or gleying was found below the <br />ground surface. <br />Basin 11 had soils that were very dry and were the same as the adjacent soybean field. No <br />mottling or gleying was present. Both Basins 10 and 11 were cropped at the time of the 1/2 <br />section aerial photo. Neither appear on the NWl map. <br />Basin 12A is a Type 2.3 Ag/Urban wetland (PEMIC) dominated by reed canary grass with some <br />green bulmsh, softstem bulrush and cattail located in the soybean field. The basin drains to the <br />west to Basin 12B. <br />The area between Basins 12A and 12B was not cropped this year due to extreme rainfall, but did <br />not appear on the NWl map or the 1/2 section aerial photo. This area was not included with these <br />basins because the soils were similar to those in the soybean field and no mottling or gleying were <br />was present. <br />Basin 12B is a Type 2.3 Ag/Urban wetland (PEMIC) inonorypic stand of reed canary grass with <br />some softstem bulmsh. This, along with other basins in the soybean field, had a fringe of upland <br />plant species between the basin and the field. Vegetation included smooth btome grass, thistle and <br />tall goldcntod. An area of channelized fiow e.xits this basin on the nonh side, passes through an <br />upiwd meadow and empties into Basin 13. <br />Basin 13 is a Type 3,4 Ag/Urban wetland (PEMIC/F) dominated by teed canary grass with cattail, <br />pinkwccd, sedge and duckweed. Much of the basin is in the soybean field with a fringe of upland <br />vegetation such as Canada thistle, common ragweed and clover. This basin outlets to the east off <br />the site There is an open upland meadow between the basin and the eastern edge of the site.
