NOV 16 2010 <br /> Wetland 4 is the largest wetland within the property boundary and spans the entire width of the <br /> property on its east side. Wetland 4 is a ditched flow-through wetland with hydrologic connections <br /> from the north and flowing down stream to the south. The ditched area extends in a north-south <br /> direction through the center of the basin along the west side of the tree line(Photo 6).This wetland <br /> also exists within a low lying area next to slopes of 10 percent or more on either side which is likely <br /> another factor governing its large size given that water run-offmay flow down the slopes during rain <br /> events. <br /> Wetland 4 is a complex of two wetlands due to the vegetation transition that exists within the <br /> wetland bounds. The west side of Wetland 4 harbors more grasses such as reed canary grass and <br /> Kentucky bluegrass along with stinging nettle (Urtica dioica)and milkweed (Asclepias syriaca). <br /> Vegetation on the eastern side is more wooded and harbors green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), <br /> American elm (Ulmus americana) and an herbaceous layer containing wood nettle (Laportea <br /> canadensis)and various polygonum species. Vegetation along the upland areas consist of brome <br /> grass(Bromus inernris),and other grass and forb species. <br /> Soils tended to be saturated within the interior of the wetland basin nearest the ditch and contain <br /> sapric inclusions with some redox features present within 12 inches of the soil surface.Upland soils <br /> were sandy and dry as to be expected due to the sleep slopes existing along the upland transition <br /> zone. Some redox concentrations were present but appeared below the 12 inch margin. <br /> SER classified Wetland 4 as a Type 7/3 P/FO1/EMCd hardwood swamp and shallow marsh wetland <br /> complex. <br /> Detailed soils,vegetation,and hydrology data for the delineated jurisdictional wetland is provided in <br /> the data sheets of the Technical Documentation Section. <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resources 840 Old Crystal Bay Rd. <br /> Project No.:2010.027.03 8 Jeff Martineau/Coldwell Banker-Bumet <br />
