Wetland 5 (W5): <br />NWI Cowardin: None <br />PWI (Hydro) ID: None <br />Field Observation Circular 39: Type 6 <br />Field Observation Eggers and Reed: Shrub <br />Swamp <br />Soil Mapping Unit(s): Hubbard loamy sand <br />Wetland 5 is found in the north -central part of <br />the study area. W5 is believed to be a pond <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 scrub <br />shrub broad-leaved deciduous seasonally flooded <br />(PSS1C) wetland. No transect but several sample <br />points were taken to determine the wetland <br />boundary. Soils, hydrology and topography aided in <br />determining the wetland boundary. <br />Wetland 5 is dominated by sandbar willow and cattails. The upland areas adjacent to W3 are <br />dominated by Kentucky bluegrass. <br />The determining factor for this delineation was the lack of hydrophytic vegetation in the <br />surrounding upland areas. The boundaries were determined by following the topographic break and <br />vegetative break. <br />Wetland 6 (W6): <br />NWI Cowardin: None <br />PWI (Hydro) ID: None <br />Field Observation Circular 39: <br />Type 4/6 <br />Field Observation Eggers and <br />Reed: Deep Marsh/Shrub Swamp <br />Soil Mapping Unit(s): Hubbard <br />loamy sand <br />Wetland 6 is found in the northeast <br />part of the study area. W6 is <br />believed to be a pond excavated in <br />upland. <br />The field investigation found the <br />site has met all three wetland <br />indicators and this portion of the <br />wetland should be considered a palustrine emergent semipermanently flooded/palustrine scrub <br />shrub broad-leaved deciduous seasonally saturated (PEMF/PSS1B) wetland. No transect but several <br />sample points were taken to determine the wetland boundary. Soils, hydrology and topography <br />aided in determining the wetland boundary. <br />Wetlands 6 is dominated by sandbar willow and cattails. The upland areas adjacent to W3 are <br />dominated by Canada goldenrod and smooth brome. <br />The determining factor for this delineation was the lack of hydrophytic vegetation in the surrouning <br />upland areas. The boundaries were determined by following the topographic break and vegetative <br />break. <br />Prepared by: Bolton & Menk, Inc.
