Wetland 4 (W4): <br />NWI Cowardin: PUBHx <br />PWI (Hydro) ID: None <br />Field Observation Circular 39: Type 3/7 <br />Field Observation Eggers and Reed: Shallow <br />Marsh/Wooded Swamp <br />Soil Mapping Unit(s): Duelm loamy <br />sand/Hubbard loamy sand <br />Wetland 4 is located in the west -central part of <br />the study area. W4 is believed to be partially <br />excavated in a historical wetland and partially <br />excavated in upland. <br />The field investigation found the site has met all <br />three wetland indicators and this portion of the <br />wetland should be considered a palustrine <br />emergent persistent seasonally <br />flooded/palustrine forested broad-leaved <br />deciduous temporarily flooded (PEM1C/PFO1A) wetland. One transect and several sample points <br />were taken to determine the wetland boundary. Soils, hydrology and topography aided in <br />determining the wetland boundary. <br />At the wetland pit location W4A the plant community is dominated by common Canada bluejoint, <br />giant goldenrod, riverbank grape, sandbar willow, quaking aspen, and black willow. The upland pit <br />location W4B is dominated by white sweet clover, Canada bluejoint, quaking aspen, and sandbar <br />willow. Both plant communities are considered hydrophytic. <br />Soils in the wetland pit location W4A met hydric soil indicator F3 — Depleted Matrix. Soils in the <br />upland pit location W4B did not meet any hydric soil indicators. <br />Soils in the wetland pit W4A were <br />not saturated. The wetland pit <br />location met secondary hydrology <br />indicators D2 and D5. Soils in the <br />upland pit location W4B were not <br />saturated and only met secondary <br />hydrology indicator D5. <br />The determining factor for this <br />delineation was the lack of hydric <br />soil and wetland hydrology <br />indicators at the upland pit <br />location. The boundaries were <br />determined by following the <br />topographic break and vegetative <br />break. <br />Prepared by: Bolton & Menk, Inc. <br />Ramsey COR Wetland Analysis 1 OR1.128637 <br />FINDINGS <br />Page 6 <br />
