Transect 2-3 was established along the edge of what the praperty owner describes as a former <br /> field road. This field road segment is bordered on either side by upland (on the west side by a <br /> former farm field/hay �meadow and on the east side by a wooded area populated by green ash, <br /> boxeldet and buckthorn among other species. The field mad exhibits wetland characteristics <br /> whi�e the two paraltel adjoining areas do not. The reason for this change in condifion is unclear. <br /> Basin 3 <br /> The third wetland basin on this parcel is classified as a PEMB, Type 2, fi�e.sh (wet) meadow <br /> wetland Iocated in a depressional swale. The wetland vegetat�on was dominated by rced canary <br /> grass (Phalaris arundinacea FACVV}. The hansition to upland can be marked by the change in <br /> vegetation commwnity. The further upslope the more upland species, such as smooth brome <br /> (Bromus iner»us FACi�, and Kentucky bluegrass(Poa pratensis FAC)become prevalent. <br /> The soils at sample point 3-1 WET consisted of clay for 30 inches of depth. The web soil survey <br /> indicates the soils series as LeSueur loam. Hydric indicator Al2 (Thick Dark Surface) was <br /> gresent. Soils were moist but not saturated at the time of sampling. The soiLs at sarnple point 3-1 <br /> UF consisted of 36 inches of clay with concentrations below 20 inches and a depleted matrix <br /> below 28 inches. The web soil survey indicates the soils series as Le Sueur loam. Hydric <br /> indicator Al2 (Thick Dark Surface)was present. <br /> WetIand hydrology was present at sample point 3-1 WET as evidenced by secondary hydrology <br /> indicators D2 (Geomorphic Pasition) and DS (FAC-Ne�xtral Test). At sample point 3-1 UP no <br /> hydrology indicatoz� were present as it was located upslope approximately two feet higher in <br /> elevation than the wetland sample 3-1 WET. <br /> Area A <br /> Area A is an isolated area lying at the edge of the vacant tield and is characterized by a slight <br /> depression in the landscape.Area A has not been flagged subject to review by the LGU. <br /> Vegetation at sample point A-1 Wet was dominated by reed canary grass (100 pemer►t) with a <br /> canopy presence of siiver maple (20 percent). A-1 Up vegetation consisted prirnarily of <br /> Kentucky bluegrass(50 percent} and smaat�brome(20 percent). <br /> The soils at sample point A-1 UP consisted of clay for 16 inches of depih with sandy clay <br /> contai.ni.ng concentrations i,n a depleted matrix between 16-24 inches. The web soil survey <br /> indicates the soil series as Lester loam for sample point A-1 UP. <br /> The soils at sampie point A-1 WET consisted of clay#'ar 20 inches of depth where it chan.ges to a <br /> sandy clay with concentrations. Sampie point A-1 WET had hydric indicator Al2 (Thick Dark <br /> 5urface). The web soil survey indicates the soil series as Lester loam. Hydric indicator Al2 <br /> {Thick Dark Surface}was present at sample location A-1 UP. <br /> Wetland hydrology was present at sample point A-1 WET as signified by secondary hydrology <br /> indicators D2 (Geomorphic Position) and DS (FAC-Neutral Test). At sample point A-1 UP no <br /> hydrology indicators were present as the sample was located upslope, approximately 1-2 feet <br /> higher izx elevation than the wetland san�le. <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resonrces 300&350 Stubbs Bay Rnad <br /> Project Numbar: 2414-037-03 5 Orono <br />
