SER delineated Wetland 1 as a Type 3/4,PEMC/Fd, Shallow Marsh and Deep Marsh wetland <br /> complex. SER concurs with the NWI Cowardin designation. <br /> Wetland 2 <br /> The vegetation transition zone along Sample Transect 2-1 started with a dominance of reed <br /> canary grass at SP 2-1 WET and ground ivy (Gechoma hederacea, FACU) along with several <br /> other FACU and FACW non-dominants equaling about 85 percent coverage. The vegetation <br /> transition to upland yielded a dominance ground ivy and a non-dominance of UPL, FACU and <br /> FACW species. Total coverage of vegetation within the upland sample area was 70 percent with <br /> the remaining area being bare soil. <br /> Soils at SP 2-1 WET were a very dark grayish brown with a clay texture down to 10 inches with <br /> a black redox dark surface (F6) down to 20 inches. SER has identified this soil as an F6 below <br /> the top 10 inches due to depositional material overlaying the original soil surface. Given the clay <br /> texture of this material it is apparent that deposition has been in place for many years. <br /> Soils at SP 2-1 UP were similar to SP 2-1 WET in color and texture. Redox features did not <br /> appear until 13 inches below the soil surface so the soils at SP 2-1 were considered hydric (F6) <br /> due to the possible 13 inches of deposition in this area. Again, this possible deposition appears to <br /> have been in place for a prolonged period given the clayey textures. <br /> Saturation was noted at 5 inches below the soil surface at the wetland sample point along with <br /> two secondary indicators of hydrology. SP 2-1 UP had no indicators of hydrology. <br /> SER delineated Wetland 2 as a Type 3/4,PEMGFd, Shallow Marsh and Deep Marsh wetland <br /> complex. SER concurs with the NWI Cowardin designation. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> SER completed all on-site delineations based on the three required technical criteria as outlined <br /> by the 1987 Manual: the presence of hydric soils, a predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, and <br /> indicators of wetland hydrology in each basin. The site visit portion of the wetland delineation <br /> was completed on May 31, 2011. <br /> SER personnel examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria <br /> during the site visit and delineated the edge of two wetland basins within the property boundary <br /> as being jurisdictional wetland (Figure 5). Both basin are a part of the same wetland complex. <br /> Detailed soils, vegetation and hydrology data for Wetlands 1 and 2 are provided in the data <br /> sheets of The Technical Documentation Section. <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resources 44�Brown Road <br /> Project No.:201 1-007 4 Travis Senenfelder <br />
