Community RW-�Vl <br />Shallow Open Water/�Vet Meadow/Lowland Hardwood Forest <br />Qualitative Rank: Medium <br />Acres: 5.7 acres <br />This wetland is a large depressionaI basin with fringes of wet meadow and a small forested <br />wetland area on the south cnd. The open water habitat cor�sists of predominantly duckweed and <br />dead trees. The forested wetland and fringe are dominated by reed canary grass, touch-me-not, <br />boxelder, silver maple, and buckthorn. <br />Severa� discharge points for storm water enter the basin. An increased watez level is evident by <br />the inundation and mortaiity of trees along thc fringe of the basin. The National Wctland <br />Inventory Map indicates this basin is ShalIow Emergent Marsh. Recent inundation has <br />converted this to open water, however enaergents may encroach along the frin�es. <br />The only observed potential outIct is a swale at the northeast end of the basin. With the increase <br />drainage to this wetland and the current outlet, it has the potential to become a substantially <br />larger open watcr area. <br />Crty af Roset�ille 131 <br />Parks Nat«ral Resoiirce Managerraent <br />
