SER ecologists examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria <br /> during the site visit. Four areas meeting the jurisdictional criteria of a wetland were flagged, and <br /> boundaries were determined and delineated. The approximate wetland boundary is outlined in <br /> yellow (Figure 5). <br /> Wetland 1 is a PEMF Type 3 wetland. It is dominated by reed canary grass (Phcilaris <br /> arundinacea), cattail species (Typha sp.), and lake bank sedge (Carex lacustris). This <br /> classification is consistent with the NWI designation. The adjacent upland areas are dominated <br /> by Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis), and common <br /> buckthorn (Rhamnus catharticra). The transition zone is characterized by changes in vegetation <br /> from hydrophytes to upland species, as well as changes in soils and topography. <br /> The soils at sample point SP-1 Wet were determined to be hydric due to the presence of indicator <br /> A10 (2cm of Muck). Wetland hydrology was indicated at this sample point by A1 (Surface <br /> Water) and C1 (Hydrogen Sulfide Odor). <br /> The soils at sample point SP-1 Up had no hydric indicators. Hydrology indicator A2 (High Water <br /> Table) was noted at this site, though due to the excessive rainfall in the past 10 days, it may not <br /> be indicative of normal site conditions. <br /> Wetland 2 is a PEMC/F Type 2/3 wetland. It is dominated by reed canary grass and cattail <br /> species. The adjacent upland area is dominated by common buckthorn, reed canary grass, and <br /> green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica). The transition zone is characterized by a distinct vegetative <br /> change coupled with topographic changes. <br /> The soils at sample point SP 2-1 Wet were determined to be hydric due to indicators Al2 (Thick <br /> dark surface) and F1 (Loamy mucky mineral). Wetland hydrology was indicated by the presence <br /> of A2 (High Water Table) <br /> The soils at sample point SP 2-1 Up were determined to be hydric by the presence of indicator <br /> S3 (Scm Mucky Peat or Peat). There were no indicators of wetland hydrology. <br /> Wetland 3 is a PEMC Type 2 wetland, dominated by reed canary grass. The adjacent upland is <br /> dominated by turf grass. The transition zone is characterized by a clear vegetative transition from <br /> reed canary grass to turf grass. <br /> The soils at sample point SP 3-1 Wet were determined to be hydric due to the presence of� <br /> indicators Al2 (Thick Dark Surface) and F1 (Loamy Mucky Mineral). Hydrology indicator A3 <br /> (Saturation) was found as well. <br /> The soils at sample point SP 3-1 Up had no hydric indicators and wetland hydrology was not <br /> present. <br /> Wetland 4 is a PEMF Type 3 wetland, consistent with the NWI classification. It is dominated by <br /> reed canary grass and black willow (Salix nigra). The adjacent upland areas are dominated by <br /> dandelion (Tarczxaca�m officinale). The wetland edge is defined by a distinct topographic break <br /> and vegetative shift. <br /> Svoboda Ecological Rcsources $ 1860 Fox Street <br /> Project Number.2013-005 Orono MN <br />
