2.3 BOUNDARY DETERMINATION FINDINGS <br /> 2.3.1 Wetland A <br /> During the December 2017 site investigation, WRI identified one wetland in the western portion <br /> of the property. This wetland was classified as riverine as it is associated with a perennial stream <br /> (Stream A), and receives significant hydrologic input from it. This wetland also receives <br /> hydrology from runoff/surface flows from surrounding upland areas. The wetland is naturally <br /> vegetated with a forested canopy and understory. However, as previously stated, the wetland <br /> appears to host frequent transient populations, as groundcover vegetation is significantly <br /> compacted or non-existent. <br /> Vegetation in this wetland is represented by black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera; FAC), red <br /> alder (Alnus rubra; FAC), Pacific willow (Salix lucida; FACW), Scouler's willow (Salix scouleriana; <br /> FAC), Sitka willow (Salix sitchensis; FACW), salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis; FAC), Himalayan <br /> blackberry (Rubus arineniacus; FAC), hardback (Spiraea douglasii; FACW), and reed canarygrass <br /> (Phalaris arundinacea; FACW). Several small snags and woody debris are present throughout the <br /> wetland. <br /> Typical soils within Wetland A were saturated or ponded at the time of inspection. Sampled soils <br /> were found to be very dark gray (2.5Y 3/1) silt loam from 0 to 10 inches below the surface, and <br /> dark grayish brown (2.5Y 4/2) silt loam with prominent redoximorphic concentrations from 10 <br /> to 18 inches. Soils appear to meet hydric soil criteria, in particular the Depleted Below Dark <br /> Surface (Al 1) indicator. The wetland area, as mapped, appears to satisfy criteria for hydrophytic <br /> vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. <br /> 1 <br /> t. : <br /> _ '4N '� <br /> / - Y <br /> i - '4x <br /> ,, 41.1t5 .
