dominant vegetation observed included : garlic mustard, asters, blue vervain, sedge, black willow, <br />boxelder, and American elm. <br />Soils observed below the wetland boundary were black silty clay loam to 44 inches underlain by <br />depleted silty clay loam, meeting the f 12 indicator for hydric soil (thick dark surface). No free <br />water or saturated soil was observed within 46 inches the soil surface in the sample borehole. <br />Secondary indicators of wetland hydrology included geomorphic position and the PAC-Neutral <br />Test. <br />Adjacent upland at the sample location was dominated by a canopy of green ash and sugar <br />maple, and an understory of common burdock, motherwort, garlic mustard, aster, and reed <br />canary grass. Upland soils also met the A 12 indicator for hydric soil. No primary or secondary <br />indicators of wetland hydrology were observed. <br />The delineated boundary followed a slight change in vegetation compos ition (an increase in <br />Canada thistle, Canada goldenrod, and common milkweed) and a gradual change in topography. <br />Wetland 1 corresponded to an NWI-mapped wetland and was located within an area mapped <br />with Hamel (poorly drained, and somewhat poorly drained) soil on the soil survey. The wetland <br />extended off the s ite to the east. <br />Other Areas <br />No other areas with wetland vegetation or hydrology were observed on the site. No other areas <br />were shown as wetland on the NWI map. <br />4
