This wetland is estimated to cover 0.03 acres. <br /> This report reflects conditions on the ground at the date of the assessment and, unless noted or implicit in the <br /> standard questions, does not reflect speculation on the future or past conditions. <br /> This wetland is located in or near the city of Orono <br /> General Features <br /> Hydrogeomorphology <br /> The maximum water depth at this site is 3 inches, with 15 percent inundated. With an immedidate drainage <br /> area of 6 acres, the wetland is well-sized for its catchment area. <br /> As a Depressional/Isolated wetland, this site has no discernable inlets or outlets. As such, t is valued <br /> for its ability to store water, especially if located lower in the watershed. If it does not already have <br /> invasive species in the plant community, its lack of connection to upstream sites with such species <br /> may protect it. <br /> This wetland has been drained or altered 0% from its original size of 0.03 acres. <br /> Soi/s <br /> The soils in the immediate wetland area are primarily Hamel clay loam. The adjacent upland, to about 500 <br /> feet, is Hamel loam. <br /> Vegetation and Upland Buffer <br /> The extent of vegetation in this wetland is about 90 percent and the naturalized buffer width averages 75 feet. <br /> Vegetated buffers around wetlands provide multiple benefits including wildlife habitat, erosion protection, and <br /> a reduction in surface water runoff. <br /> This buffer not only provides an excellent buffer for wetland water quality, it also serves as an important <br /> resources for wildlife habitat. <br /> S�ecial Features <br /> There were no special features observed at the site at the time of this assessment <br /> Veaetative Communities <br /> The following plant communities were observed: <br /> (See Appendix A for details on the Dominant Species per plant community) <br /> Page 1 of 4 <br />
