Transects consisted of representative upland sample point(s) and representative wetland sample <br /> point(s). Information obtained from the sample points can be found on the field data sheets located <br /> in the Technical Documentation Section. <br /> Wetland boundaries were marked at the site by blaze-orange"wetland boundary"flagging attached <br /> to 4-foot wooden lath or pin flags.Where vegetation was dense,to assist in locating the flagged lath <br /> (wetland edge), a second piece of flagging was attached to a nearby tree or shrub branch. The <br /> "wetland boundary"is considered to be the topographically highest extent of the wetland basin;areas <br /> below the staked boundary met the three required wetland criteria while areas above were lacking in <br /> one or more of these criteria. Wetland classification followed methods described by Cowardin et al. <br /> (1979) and used in the NWI (e.g. PEMB, PSS IC, etc.), completed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife <br /> Service. The Circular 39 classification (Shaw and Fredine 1956) is also given (e.g. Type 1, Type <br /> 2...etc.). The indicator status of plants,as described in The Technical Documentation Section,was <br /> determined using the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands — Region 3 (Sabine <br /> 1999) <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resources 1350 Orono Oaks Drive <br /> Project No.:2007-061-03 3 Ron Ridgeway <br />
