Maintenance of Moderate Wetland water quality is average. Sediment removal from incoming <br /> Wetland Water water would benefit the site. Also consider reducing the amount of <br /> Quality stormwater directed at the site. Sustaining a diverse wetland may <br /> require additional control over upland land use and the buffer. <br /> Shoreline Protection Moderate This fringe site provides some protection against erosive action. <br /> Reducing the amount of buffer that is manicured would further protect <br /> the adjacent water resource, as would increasing the buffer width. <br /> Maintenance of Moderate The site provides good habitat and is relatively accessible to wildlife, <br /> Characteristic although it may be somewhat isolated on the landscape and lack the <br /> Wildlife Habitat rich vegetative community and complex structure that would support a <br /> Structure wider range of wildlife. <br /> Maintenance of High The site has a direct connection to spawning or nursery habitat, or may <br /> Characteristic Fish provide refuge or shade for native species of fish. Low amounts of <br /> Habitat sediment mean that eggs are not smothered; good water quality <br /> supports fish health. <br /> Maintenance of Low Predatory fish are always present and winter habitat unsuitable as site <br /> Characteristic often freezes to the bottom. High inputs of untreated stormwater or <br /> Amphibian Habitat unfiltered runoff contribute to poor water quality and reproductive <br /> conditions. <br /> Aesthetics/Recreation Moderate Many wetlands are visible from nearby buildings or roads and are <br /> /Education/Cultural accessible for some recreational activities. Excess negative human <br /> influence(such as trash or alteration)will reduce the ranking of well- <br /> used and highly-accessible sites. <br /> Wetland restoration Not Because restoration would affect permanent structures or infrastructure <br /> potential Applicable (houses, roads, septic systems), this site is not suitable for restoration. <br /> Wetland Sensitivity to Moderate This wetland is moderately sensitive to stormwater; Floodplain forests, <br /> Stormwater and fresh wet meadows dominated by reed canary grass, shallow and deep <br /> Urban Development marshes dominated by cattail, reed canary grass, giant reed or purple <br /> loosestrife, and shallow, open water communities with low to moderate <br /> vegetative diversity. <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br />
