To briefly re~iew <br />its status, this parcel wa;; visited by Svoboda Ecological Resources (SER) on October 14, 1998. At this <br />, , time; two areas were determined to bejurisdictio~al ~etl~nd and were _delineated by SER (see _SER <br />·Report No. 98-060-03 for more,detail). · The edges of these wetlands were located by SER using·a <br />Trimble Ag 132 GPS equipped with a.Juniper Systems field data collector. Positions were differentially <br />corrected in ;eal-time using signal~ transmitted by the Coast Guard station in Alma, Wisconsin. This <br />system is capable of sub-meter f!C <br />0curacy when using real-time differential correction in.the field. ,, <br />I • <br />In 2000~ SEI,l determined that the boundaries of Basin~ I needed revision due to factors that were not <br />evident at the time of field visitation. The northern boundary was r~drawn an_d red~ced {Figure 1f,..Th1s , <br />revision was due to the presence 9f sand and gravel fill found in th is area, which iri_dicated that it would <br />,not meet jurisdictional wetland status. 1n addit.ion, the boundary of the northwestern finger of this basin <br />was redrawn and reduced (Figure l).· This reed ~·anary grass dominated·area,recently.has become drier <br />. . <br />due to the presence of a drainage ditch. Thus; the extent of the wetland boundary as was determined in <br />1 ?98 'was decided to over-exaggerate the scop_e,of the northwestern wetla.iid edge. pJease note that the <br />. ·i:nodified boundaries on Figure i are not exact an.cl are subject to field verificatio~. <br />Shouid ycn.J have any questi'ons about these revised boundaries, please call me. <br />'. ,. \ ' ' . <br />• I , <br />Sincerely, <br />Svoboda Ecological Resources . · <br />-~if-~ <br />Franklin J.
