Additionally, the resource receives hydrology from the ditched portion of wetland 1 during high water events; however, it was not connected. Overall, the resource was delineated based on a lack of hydric soil forming a gradual to moderate transition boundary in most areas. Upland vegetation communities are generally dominated by boxelder, European buckthorn, reed canary grass and smooth brome (Bromus inermis). ATYPICAL/PROBLEMATIC CONDITIONS Analysis of antecedent precipitation revealed that the area was well above average at the time of the field investigation, surface hydrology was observed in several areas. Although water table and saturation were present in upland sample point 2B, primary indicators were not checked as it was above average precipitation and adjacent to a ditch where hydrology overtopped. CONSISTENCY WITH DESKTOP REVIEW NWI inventoried areas were found to be generally correct; however, it was found to be a Type 2. 1 Appendix B contains wetland determination data forms supporting this investigated resource: Wet Point(s): 2A Up Point(s): 2B 2 Appendix E contains MnRAM output 268
