Wetland Determinations and Delineations <br /> Potential wetlands were evaluated in greater detail during field observations on June 6, 2017. <br /> One (1)wetland was identified and delineated on the subject parcel (Figure 2). Corresponding <br /> data forms are included in Appendix A. The following description of the wetland and adjacent <br /> upland reflects conditions observed at the time of the field visit. At that time precipitation totals <br /> were above normal based on available 30-day rolling precipitation data, and climatic conditions <br /> were wet based on the three-month antecedent conditions (March,April, May) (Appendiz B). <br /> Vegetation was actively growing during the site visit. A survey of the site provided by Gronberg <br /> &Associates, Inc. is provided in Appendiz C. <br /> Wetland 1 was a Type 3 (PEM 1 C) shallow marsh dominated by reed canary grass with cattail <br /> species observed in the center of the basin. Saturation was observed at 14"below the soil surface <br /> with no free water present in the wetland sample boring. Additional secondary indicators <br /> included Geomorphic Position and FAC-Neutral Test. Wetland 1 was located along the <br /> southwestern edge of the property and extended offsite to the south and totaled 0.015 acres in <br /> size within site boundaries. <br /> The adjacent upland was dominated by Timothy, Canada thistle, and Kentucky bluegrass. No <br /> primary or secondary hydrology indicators were observed in the upland. <br /> The delineated boundary followed an abrupt change in topography, was placed along the <br /> transition from wetland to upland vegetation, where soil transitioned from hydric to non-hydric, <br /> and where hydrology indicators were no longer present. Wetland 1 was indicated on the NWI as <br /> a PEM 1 C wetland and the soil survey showed Cordova loam (hydric) as the soil types present <br /> within the review area. Wetland 1 extended off the property to the south. <br /> Additional Areas <br /> No additional wetlands were indicated on the NWI map. Hydric soil is mapped north of Wetland <br /> 1, however, the upland sample point confirmed this area was not wetland. No additional areas <br /> exhibiting inundation or supporting wetland vegetation were observed during field observation. <br /> 4 <br />
