The Property is located on the southeast side of Sand Lake and is bordered by Mutter Road to the east and private property to the north and south. See Figure 1 for the Property location and local topography. The Property was examined on August 8, 2008 for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria as specified in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. The objective of the study was to delineate all wetlands on the Property to identify a potential building site. One primary wetland area was delineated during the site visit. The delineated wetland was classified according to Cowardin and Circular 39 classification systems. Approximately 15 years ago, a driveway and building pad were constructed at the site and footings were dug for the planned building site. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the project was delayed and no work has occurred at the site since that time. It is evident that wetlands were filled at that time but the site is now considered to have normal circumstances due to the activities having occurred more than 5 years ago. The wetland is considered a seasonal wetland and therefore, a Problem Area due to the lack of hydrology within the soil profile. However, other hydrology indicators were present to make a wetland determination. The wetland appears to be ultimately connected to Sand Lake by an old man-made ditch that was constructed on the Property from a culvert located under Mutter Road to Sand Lake. Activities which impact or potentially impact jurisdictional wetlands are currently regulated at several levels of government. Federal (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), State (Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources), and local (County and Township) government agencies may all be involved in reviewing a single project. To avoid project delays associated with wetland regulations, it is essential to acquire necessary permits and approvals from all jurisdictional agencies before initiating activities in wetlands. It is also important to plan ahead if wetland permits will be needed. By initiating the permit process as soon as possible, potential costly delays to the project may be avoided. It is important to obtain Army Corp of Engineers or Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources concurrence on the wetland boundaries prior to proceeding with activities on the Property. The final authority for wetland boundaries and permit requirements rests with the government agencies which have jurisdiction over this project. The findings of this wetland delineation report are only valid for the site conditions which existed at the time of this investigation. Findings are subject to revision based upon natural or induced changes in weather, vegetation management, land use, topography, surface water flow, subsurface drainage, stormwater management, within or near the project site which may affect the soils, hydrology, or vegetative community on the project site. ■ Northern Environmental 0 Hydraloyisls • FfWoesa •SuryWrs- Scientists Wetland Identification, Classification and Delineation Report-Bodmer Property August 26, 2008 2.0 STUDY METHODS Available topographic maps, survey maps, Wisconsin Wetland Inventory Maps (WWI), and Sawyer County Soil Survey maps were reviewed prior to visiting the Property to identify potential wetland areas. The WWI is included as Figure 3. The Sawyer County Soil Survey Map is included as Figure 4. Examination of vegetation, soils and hydrology, as outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987), were used to characterize and determine wetland boundaries. The NRCS Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States guide was also utilized to help identify hydric soils at the site. Wetland edges were marked with pink flagging labeled "Wetland Delineation." The wetland edge was considered the highest extent of the jurisdictional wetland. Areas below the delineated wetland edge met required wetland criteria, while areas above did not. Wetland boundaries were located with a Trimble GeoXT Global Positioning System (GPS) with sub -meter accuracy. The wetland locations are shown on Figure 2. Sample transects were established in representative wetland to upland transition zones. Transects were comprised of two sample points located along a line running perpendicular to the wetland edge, with one point in obvious wetland and one point in obvious upland. A field data form was completed for each of the upland and wetland sample points. All sample transect locations were also located with a GPS and are indicated on Figure 2. Field data forms are included in Appendix A. Wetland classification was done according to Cowardin and Circular 39 classification systems. Vegetation was identified using suitable keys (Eggers and Reed, 1987; Knopt, 1980; Courtenay/Zimmerman, 1972; Fassett, 1951; Chadde, 1998) and a plant's hydrophytic status was determined using the Region 3 "National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands" (Reed, 1986). 3.0 RESULTS 3.1 Off -Site Survey The WWI does not indicate the presence of any wetlands on the Property. The Sawyer County Soil Survey indicates the presence of soils with hydric inclusions occurring throughout the Property. The Sawyer County Soil Survey indicates that the following soil series are present on the Property: �l 127D — Amery-Rosholt Complex, very stony, 12 to 20% slopes — These soils consist primarily of well drained sandy loam and fine sandy loam soils overlying gravelly sandy loam and sand soils. These soils are typically found on moraines and outwash plains with level to steep to very steep terrain. This soil complex has hydric inclusions. The Sawyer County Soil Survey map is included as Figure 4. 3.2 Field Delineation �.� One wetland area was delineated during the site visit. The following text describes the wetland found on the Property and the basis for determining the wetland boundaries. Refer to Figure 2 for the location of the wetland and each sample transect. Delineated Wetland Basins Wetlands 1 consists primarily of a Type 7 (Wooded Swamp) — T3K (Forested, broad-leaved deciduous, palustrine) wetland. The wetland soils consist primarily of very dark gray sandy loam soils overlying brown sand soils with redoximorphic features. The upland soils consist primarily of dark brown sandy loam soils �� overlying brown loamy sand lacking redoximorphic features. ■ Hor hem Envrronlrnenta! v 01004k,&.6�na .�rvsynrs.scientists Wetland Identification, Classification and Delineation Report-Bodmer Property The dominant vegetation found in the wetland areas on the Property includes the following: Scientific Name Common Name Indicator Carex crinita Fringed Sedge FACW+ Equisetum pratense Meadow Horsetail FACW Fraxinus nigra Black Ash FACW Impatiens capensis Spotted Touch -Me -Not FACW Poa palustris Fowl Bluegrass FACW+ Populus tremula Quaking Aspen FAC Rubus strigosus Red Raspberry FACW- Scirpus validus Soft -Stem Bulrush OBL Solidago gigantea Giant Goldenrod FACW The dominant vegetation found in the upland areas at this Property includes the following: Scientific Name Common Name Indicator Acer rubrum Red Maple FAC Alnus rugosa Speckled Alder OBL Aster lateriflorus Calico Aster FACW- Aster macrophyllus Large -Leaf Aster NI Betula alba White Birch FACU Carex pennsylvanica Pennsylvania Sedge NI Equisetum pratense Meadow Horsetail FACW Fragaria virginiana Virginia Strawberry FAC- Fraxinus nigra Black Ash FACW Leucanthemum vulgare Common Daisy NI Pinus resinosa Red Pine FACU Polygonatum pubescens Downy Solomon's Seal NI Populus grandidentata Big -Tooth Aspen FACU Pteridium aqualinum Bracken Fern FACU Quercus rubra Northern Red Oak FACU Rhus hirta Staghom Sumac NI Rubus allegheniensis Allegheny Blackberry FACU Solidago gigantea Giant Goldenrod FACW August 26, 2008 The wetland edges were flagged based on the transition from upland vegetation to wetland vegetation and differences in soil and hydrology observed at upland and wetland sample points. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS One wetland was delineated on the Property. The wetland consists primarily of a Type 7 (Wooded Swamp) — T3K (Forested, broad-leaved deciduous, palustrine) wetland. The wetland edges were flagged based on the transition from upland vegetation to wetland vegetation and differences in soil and hydrology observed at upland and wetland sample points. The wetland hydrology appears to be present in the spring of the year due to the topographic location of the wetland and retention of surface runoff as well as interception of the local groundwater table. However, no saturation was present within the soil profile at the time of the visit. The wetland is considered a seasonal wetland and therefore, a Problem Area due to the lack of hydrology within the soil profile. However, other hydrology indicators were present to make a wetland determination. The wetland appears to be ultimately connected to Sand Lake by an old man-made ditch that was constructed on the Property from a culvert located under Mutter Road to Sand Lake.
