1700 Highway 96 Site Wetland Delineation Report 5 Table 3. Wetlands delineated on the 1700 Highway 96 Site Wetlan d ID Wetland Type Dominant Vegetation NWI Soil Survey Adjacent Upland Observed Drainage Features Size (Acres) Boundary Rationale Circular 39 Cowardin Eggers and Reed Wetland 1 Type 3 PEM1Cx Excavated shallow marsh Hybrid cattail, reed canary grass and sedges. None Bluffton Loam (Hydric) Upland consisted of paved surfaces, as well as woodland dominated by a canopy of quaking aspen and boxelder trees with an understory of common buckthorn. Wetland 1 received runoff from adjacent paved surfaces, however not inlets or outlets were observed. 0.20 Steep topographic break along excavated sideslopes. Wetland 2 Type 3/2 PEM1C/ PEM1B Shallow marsh, wet meadow Hybrid cattail, lake sedge, scattered green ash and red-osier dogwood. PEM1C Bluffton Loam (Hydric) Woodland dominated by a canopy of boxelder, American elm and quaking aspen trees with an understory of common buckthorn and Tatarian honeysuckle. No inlets or outlets were observed within Wetland 2. 0.85 Moderate topographic break along a transition from wet meadow to upland woodland. Wetland 3 Type 3/2 PEM1C/ PEM1B Shallow marsh, wet meadow Hybrid cattail and reed canary grass with scattered black willow. PEM1C Bluffton Loam (Hydric) Woodland dominated by a canopy of basswood and boxelder trees with an understory of common buckthorn, common burdock and common blue violet. A culvert drained into Wetland 3 from the east and a tile outlet drained the wetland to the southwest. 0.45 Moderate topographic break along a transition from wet meadow to upland woodland. Wetland 4 Type 1 PFO1A/ PEM1A Partially forested seasonally flooded basin Green ash trees, lake sedge, reed canary grass None Hayden Fine Sandy Loam (Predominantly Non-Hydric) Woodland dominated by a canopy of boxelder and quaking aspen trees with an understory of common buckthorn, prickly gooseberry and Tatarian honeysuckle. No inlets or outlets were observed within Wetland 4. 0.01 Moderate topographic break along a transition from seasonally flooded basin to upland woodland. Wetland 5 Type 1 PEM1A Seasonally flooded basin Reed canary grass and sedges. None Bluffton Loam (Hydric) Woodland dominated by a canopy of boxelder and quaking aspen trees with an understory of common buckthorn, prickly gooseberry, meadow rue and Tatarian honeysuckle. A tile outlet drained into Wetland 5 and a tile inlet was present immediately south of the wetland. 0.03 Moderate topographic break along a transition from seasonally flooded basin to upland woodland. Wetland 6 Type 1 PEM1A Seasonally flooded basin Reed canary grass, giant goldenrod and dwarf clearweed. PEM1C Bluffton Loam (Hydric) Woodland dominated by a canopy of boxelder and green ash trees with an understory of common buckthorn, common burdock, bedstraw, giant goldenrod, Canada goldenrod and Tatarian honeysuckle. An ephemeral tributary drained into Wetland 6, which drained though the wetland into an eroded ditch to the south. 0.05 Moderate topographic break along a transition from seasonally flooded basin to upland woodland. Wetland 7 Type 5 PUBGx Excavated open water Open water, duckweed, narrow fringe of hybrid cattail and willow shrubs. PUBGx/ PEM1C Hayden Fine Sandy Loam (Predominantly Non-Hydric) Meadow dominated by smooth brome, red clover, gray dogwood, Canada goldenrod, Canada thistle and common dandelion. Culverts were present on the northern and western portions of the wetland, which likely convey hydrology from adjacent paved surfaces into the wetland and offsite. 0.32 Steep topographic break along excavated sideslopes. Wetland 8 Type 3/2 PEM1C/ PEM1B Shallow marsh, wet meadow Hybrid cattail, reed canary grass, giant goldenrod and smartweed. PEM1C Bluffton Loam (Hydric), Hayden Fine Sandy Loam (Predominantly Non- Hydric) Woodland dominated by a canopy of boxelder, green ash, bur oak and quaking aspen trees with an understory of common buckthorn, prickly gooseberry and bedstraw. A culvert was present east of Wetland 8, discharging hydrology from paved surfaces toward Wetland 8 through an eroded ditch. 1.40 Moderate topographic break along a transition from wet meadow to upland woodland. Wetland 9 (Storm Pond) Type 5 PUBGx Excavated open water Open water, narrow fringe of hybrid cattail transitioning to reed canary grass PUBGx/ PEM1C Hayden Fine Sandy Loam (Predominantly Non-Hydric) Graded meadow dominated by reed canary grass, smooth brome and common milkweed. Wetland 9 consisted of an excavated storm pond that extended offsite to the west. 0.40 Steep topographic break along excavated sideslopes. Wetland 10 Type 3/2 PEM1C/ PEM1B Shallow marsh, wet meadow Hybrid cattail and reed canary grass with a lesser amount of willow and sensitive fern PEM1C Bluffton Loam (Hydric), Hayden Fine Sandy Loam (Predominantly Non- Hydric) Woodland dominated by a canopy of boxelder and green ash trees with an understory of common buckthorn, prickly gooseberry, common dandelion and Tatarian honeysuckle. Wetland 10 received hydrology from a culvert on the northern portion of the wetland, and drained to the south into Wetland 8. 0.40 Moderate topographic break along a transition from wet meadow to upland woodland. Wetland 11 Type 3/2 PEM1C/ PEM1B Shallow marsh, wet meadow Hybrid cattail, reed canary grass, Canada bluejoint and scattered willow shrubs. None Hayden Fine Sandy Loam (Predominantly Non-Hydric) Woodland dominated by a canopy of quaking aspen with an understory of common buckthorn, prickly gooseberry and common burdock. No inlets or outlets were observed within Wetland 11. 0.04 Moderate topographic break along a transition from wet meadow to upland woodland.
