- 1860 Shoreline Drive Orono Site <br /> � Number 05054TB <br /> Forms (located in the back of the report) detail the tlu-ee technical criteria(hydrophytic <br /> vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology) as described in the 1987 Manual. <br /> The wetland edge(s) were delineated where one, two, or all three of these technical criteria drop <br /> out. <br /> Tn order to expedite regulatory review, some wetland edges were delineated such that the � <br /> hydrology criterion was not met below the delineated edge. At some time in the future, the <br /> landowner may choose to have the hydrology criterion below the delineated edges examined <br /> more closely in order to"tighten up" a wetland edge that was staked high. This detailed <br /> hydrologic study was not part of this wetland delineation. <br /> At least one�sample point transect perpendicularly crosses each delineated edge. These transects <br /> consist of one sample point above the edge, one sample point below the edge, and there may be <br /> one along the edge. <br /> A Routine Onsite Determination Foi•m (data form) was completed for each of the sample point <br /> locations. The data forms describe the plant community, soils information, and hydrologic <br /> indicators at each sample point. Sample points are labeled as follows: <br /> SPZ-Tl-LOW <br /> 2=basin or edge number <br /> 1=the first transect for this edge (the second would be "2") <br /> LOW=rthe sample point below the edge ("UP" is above the edge) <br /> (additional points on a transect would be"LOW2," "UP2," and so on) <br /> Plant species on the data forms were listed by common names, scientific names, stratum, percent <br /> cover for that stratum, and the species hydrohytic indicator status. <br /> � The delineated wetland edges were staked with sequentially numbered four-foot wooden lath and <br /> orange or pink"Wetland Boundary" flagging. The numbered side typically faces toward the <br /> upland side of the edge. Striped flagging may be tied to vegetation if the lath is tough to see. <br /> Blue and white striped flagging was tied on the lath which mark the transect sample points. The <br /> numbers on lath placed at the edge or below typically face toward upland, while sample points <br /> on the upland side of the edge generally face toward the delineated edge. <br /> Copyright O 2005, Aquatic EcoSolutions, Inc.
