� <br /> � <br /> � The delineated boundary followed a change in plant community and topography. The wetland <br /> ■ corresponded to an NWI-mapped PEMC/PSS1C/PFO1C wetland,DNR Wetland 857W, and an <br /> area.of mapped hydric soil (peaty muck). <br /> • Wetland 2 was a linear Type 3 (PEMC/A)wetland between the driveway and Highway 12 <br /> � at the east edge of the site. Dominant vegetation included cattail, reed canary grass, and <br /> . climbing nightshade as dominants, with lesser amounts of black willow, eastem cottonwood, and <br /> stinging nettle. Soils observed below the wetland boundary were black silt loam to 24 inches <br /> � depth. The primary indicator of wetland hydrology was surface soil saturation with secondary <br /> indicators of mapped hydric soil and topographic position. <br /> ■ Adjacent upland consisted of disturbed roadside along Highway 12 and the driveway. Dominant <br /> � vegetation consisted of garlic mustard, climbing nightshade, smooth brome, and reed canary <br /> � grass with lesser amounts of stinging nettle, Canada thistle, eastern cottonwood, and Canada <br /> � goldenrod. Upland soils were brown loam to 16 inches, underlain by disturbed, light gray, <br /> � distinctly mottled fine sandy clay loam to 24 inches depth. No primary or secondary indicators <br /> i of wetland hydrology were observed. <br /> s <br /> The delineated boundary followed a distinct change in topo�raphy. The wetland corresponded to <br /> � an area of mapped hydric soil (peaty muck and Glencoe) and part of an NWI-mapped <br /> ; PEMC/PSS1C/PFO1C wetland complex. <br /> � <br /> � Wetland 3 was a Type 1 (PEMA/PSS1A) depression adjacent to and west ofthe pazking lot. <br /> Dominant vegetation consisted of reed canary grass, sandbar willow, and Canada goldenrod. <br /> � Soils observed below the wetland boundary consisted of mixed fill material to 24 inches depth. <br /> � Wetland hydrology was assumed based on secondary indicators of topogaphic position and <br /> � dominant hydrophytic vegetation. <br /> � Adjacent upland vegetation included Canada goldenrod, Kentucky bluegrass, birds-foot trefoil, <br /> � sweet clover, and smooth brome as dominants. Upland soils consisted of mixed fill material to <br /> 20 inches, underlain by black loam to 30 inches depth. No indicators of wetland hydrology were <br /> � observed. <br /> � The delineated boundary followed a distinct change in topography and plant communities. The <br /> � wetland conesponded to mapped hydric soil (peaty muck) and part of an NWI-mapped <br /> � PEMC/PSS 1 C/PFO1 A wetland. <br /> � ., <br /> Historic photographs were reviewed to determine the origin of Wetland 3 (Appendiz C). The <br /> � daycare center was built between 1984 and 1991 an�i the wetland may have developed as a result <br /> . of changes to the natural drainage of the site from construction alterations. Photographs before <br /> 1984 showed Wetland 3 as part of a regularly cropped field, but immediately north of existing <br /> � wetland. More information from the daycare building plans should be reviewed to determine <br /> existing conditions at that time. <br /> � <br /> � �. S�.TI�MI�RY <br /> ■ <br /> ■ � <br /> ■ <br /> � <br />
