of Basin 2. No vegetation is present in the wetland sample 2-1 Wet.Although tlierc are trees and <br /> saplings within the 15 and 30 feet radii, vegetation in both strata aze located at higher elevation <br /> and outside of the wetland boundary. Uplanci sample 2-1 possesses sugar maple (Acer <br /> saccharurn FACU) in both the saplixlg and tree strata, along with American basswood in the tree <br /> stratum. There is a naticeable relationship between the presence of vegetatian and increase in <br /> elevation. Because of the relationship between landscape position and appearance of upland <br /> herbaceous vegetation, the wetland boundary was flagged based on both the topography and <br /> preserice of vegetation. <br /> Sample point 2-1 Wet was taken near the center of the depression. The soils at sample point 2-1 <br /> Wet consist of elay for the first fow inches before transitioning to silty clay loam. Redox is <br /> present beginning at 4 inches and continues through the sample depth of 30 inches, meeting <br /> hydric soil indicator F6 far Redox Dark Surface.The soils at sample point 2-1 Up wcre collected <br /> on the hillslope approxirnately 4 feet higher in elevarion than the wetland boundary. Soils consist <br /> of loam to a depth of 14 inches before transitioning to clay loam. Redox features are not present <br /> unti120 inches,thus sample 2-1 Up does not meet any hydric soil indicators. <br /> Wetland hydrology is present at sample point 2-1 Wet as evidenced by the prirnary indicator <br /> Sparsely Vegetated Concave Surface (B8) and the secondary indicator D2 (Geomotphic <br /> Pasition).N�hydrology indicators are present at sample point 2-1 Up. <br /> Wetland Basin 3 on this parcel is classified in the NWI as a PF,MIF shallow marsh. Our <br /> delineation concurs with this classification as well as defines it via the Eggers &Reed system as <br /> a Type 3 wetland. Reed canazy grass (Phalaris arundirurcea FACV� dominates the herbaceous <br /> vegetation layer of wetland sample 3-1 Wet,while a small percentage of narrowleaf cattail is also <br /> present within the sample plot. Common buckthorn dominates the shrub layer, as does green ash <br /> (Fraxinus pennsylvantca FACR� and American basswood in the tree stratum. Further within the <br /> shallow marsh is evidence of cattails from the previous growing season.Uplattd sample point 3-1 <br /> Up does not meet the Dominance Test for the wetland vegetation. Dominant vegetation includes <br /> American elm (Ulmus Americarra FACV� and sugar maple in the tree stratum, American <br /> basswood in the sapling stratum, and Canada bluegrass (Poa compressa FACLn, sugar maple, <br /> and Pennsylvania sedge (Carex perrsylvanica FACLF) in the herbaceous layer. Because of the <br /> relationship between landscape position and disappearance of wetland vegetadon, the wetland <br /> boundary was flagged hased on both the topography and presence of vegetation. <br /> Sample point 3-1 Wet was taken appmximately 3 feet from standing water and at an elevation 6 <br /> inches higher. The soils at sample point 3-1 Wet consist of silty clay for the first 18 inches <br /> befare transitioning to sandy clay, at which point the soils become depleted and thus meet hydric <br /> soil indicaxor Al2 for Thick Dark Surface. The soils at sample point 3-1 Up were collected on <br /> the hillslope apgroximxtely 5 feet higher in elevation than the wetlaud sample point. Soils at this <br /> location consist of clay loam before transitioning to sandy clay loam. The second layer, which <br /> begins at 10 inches, passesses 5 percent redox with a lugher value. However, the chroma is also <br /> too high to meet the Depleted Below Dark Surface (A11) hydric soil indicator. Therefore, <br /> Sample 3-1 Up c3oes not meet any hydric soi( indicatars. <br /> Wetland hydroiogy is present at sampte point 3-1 Wet as evidenced by the primary indicators <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resouroe� 4 1700 Shorzlu�e Dr <br /> Project Number.2015-004-03 Orono,MN <br />
