High Water Table (A2) and Saturation (A3) as well as the secondary indicators D2 {Geomorphic <br /> Position) and DS (FAC-Neutral Test). The soil possesses saturated at the surface with a water <br /> table present at 6 inches.No hydrology indicators are present at sample point 3-1 Up. <br /> Wetland Basin 4 is classified as a PFO1, 'I�pe 1, seasonally flooded basin, located in a closed <br /> depressiansl area. Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea FACVI� and an unknown sedge <br /> species dominate the herbaceous vegetation layer of wetland sample 4-1 Wet, although the <br /> majority of the ground (appraximately 90 percent) is unvegetated. The sapling/shrub stratum is <br /> similarly sparsely vegetated, but with boxelder and common buckthorn as the dominant species. <br /> Green ash is the only dominant species in the tree stratum present at the same elevation within <br /> the wetlarid boundary. L'pland sainple point 4-1 Up does not meet thc Dominance Test for the <br /> wetland vegetation indicator. Dominant vegetation in the herbaceous, sapling/shrub, and tree <br /> strata is sugac maple. Because of the sparse ground vegetation both in the depression and on the <br /> slope,the wetland boundary was flagged primarily on the topography. <br /> Sample point 4-1 Wet was taken within the closed depression at the bottom of the hill. The soils <br /> at sample point 4-1 Wet consist of clay loam for tt�e fust 32 inches before tratisitioning to clay, at <br /> which point the soils become depleted and thus meet hydric soil indicator Al2 for lfiick Dark <br /> Surface. The soils at sample point 4-1 Up were collected on the hill��ope approximately 5 feet <br /> higher in elevation than the wetland sample point. Soils consist of silty clay before transitioning <br /> to clay and do not meet and hydric soil indicators. <br /> Wetland hydrology is present at sample point 4-1 Wet as evidenced by the secondary indicators <br /> D2 (Geomorphic Position} and DS (FAC-Neutral Test}. Sample point 4-1 also nearly qualified <br /> for hydrology indicator B8 (sparsely vegetated concave surface). Due to upland samgie 4-1 Up's <br /> location on a hillslope, no wetland hydrology indicators are met. <br /> Wetland Basin 5 on this parcel is classif'ied as a PEM1�', Type 3/4, Shallow/Deep Marsh wetland. <br /> The wetland sample 5-1 Wet is dominated by black willow (Salix nigra OBL) and bo�celder in <br /> the tree stratum and common buck#hom (Rhamnus cathartica FAC) in the sapling/shrub stratum. <br /> Reed cauary grass and common buckthorn dominate the herbaceous layer. Upland sample 5-1 Up <br /> is dominated by green ash {tree stratum) and buckthorn {sapling/shrub stratum} while the <br /> herbaceous layer possesses garlic-mustatd(Alliaria petiolate FAC), sticky willy(Galtum aparirre <br /> FAC) and reed canary grass as the daminant plants. There is a noticeable vcgetation break in the <br /> herbaceaus layer, abruptly changing to 100 percent reed canary grass downslope of�e upland <br /> sample point. Because of the relationship between landscape position and appearance of <br /> increased hydrophytic wetland vegetation the wetland boundary was flagged primarily on these <br /> two indicators. <br /> Saznple point 5-1 Wet was taken approximately 20 feet from a densc cattail marsh and <br /> approximately 1 foot higher in elevation.Thc soils at sample point 5-1 Wet consist of sandy clay <br /> for the entirety of the samp(e.At a depth of 30 inches the soil becomes depleted, meeting hydric <br /> indicator Al2 (Thick Dark Surface). The soils at sample point 5-1 Up were collected on the <br /> hillslope approximatsly 2 feet higt�er in ele�ation than sample 5-1 Wet. Soils transition from <br /> sandy loam at the surface to clay at a depth of 32 inches.At this depth soils become depleted and <br /> were determined onsite to be hydric. <br /> Svoboda Eoologirsl Resoiuces 5 1700 Shoreline Dr <br /> Projed Ntunber. 2015-044-03 Otono,MN <br />
