There is an upland meadow area between <br />Basins 13 and 13A. The upland adjacent to this basin is dominated by common ragweed and white <br />clover with other species between the basin and the soybean field. <br />Basin 13B did not meet the wetland criteria of soils, hydrology and vegetation. The soils were the <br />same as those found in the adjacent soybean field with no mottling or gleying. While there was <br />some ponded water on the ground surface, the saturation was only on the top 3 inches of the soil. <br />The soil was dry below 3 inches. Vegetation included white and red clover, barnyard grass, giant <br />ragweed and spikerush. It is our opinion that the wet conditions are due to the extreme rainfall <br />amounts experienced this year. <br />Basin 14 is a Type 2.3 Ag/Urban wetland (PEMIA/B) consisting of spikerush. softstem bulrush <br />and reed canary grass among other plant species. While this basin did not appear on the NWI <br />map nor on the 1/2 section aerial photo, there was enough saturation below the soil surface for <br />this basin to meet the wetland criteria. There was a zone of upland vegetation between this basin <br />and the soybean field similar to other basins. <br />Basin 15 is a Type 2.6 Ag/Urban wetland (PSSI/EMIC) dominated by willows in the southern <br />portion with cattail, spikerush and softstem bulrush in the north end. The adjacent upland is <br />soybean field with an upland plant species fringe in the southern portion that consists of Canada <br />thistle and smooth brome grass. Only the willow area was shown on the NWI map and 1/2 <br />section aerial photo. <br />Basin 15A is a Type 2.3 Ag/Urban wetland (PEMIC) that is dominated by reed canary grass with <br />sedge, river bulrush, cattail and smartweed. The adjacent upland is the soybean field with an <br />upland fringe similar to other basins. As with Basin 15. only a portion of this basin was shown on <br />the NWI map and 1/2 section aerial photo. <br />Basin 16 is a Type 2.3 Ag/Urban wetland (PEMIC) not shown on the NWI map or 1/2 section <br />aerial photo. This basin had standing water with soils that were saturated below the ground <br />I
