5) sample is in an old road bed, portions of which are <br />saturated to the surface, portions of which are compacted till <br />and fill above gravels. Soils were too disturbed to provide <br />a reliable reading. <br />6) soil tested at the edge of the previously flagged wetland <br />boundary just southeast of the shed. Soils were sandy, <br />gravelly, clays with mottles (10YR4/2) at 7 inches. Soils <br />saturated to the surface. <br />'> <br />The vegetation within the transect zone was a typical pasture <br />mixture of grasses and forbs. The dominant species were bentgrass <br />(Aarostis stolenifera) (FAC+), velvet grass (Holcus lanatus) (FAC), <br />Smooth rush (Juncus effusus) (FACW+), and creeping buttercup <br />(Ranunculus reAens) (FACW). <br />Observation from the deck of the residence indicates the <br />likely presence of an old gravel trench drain at the break in slope <br />+' <br />just north of the house. Soil testing done downslope of the <br />°j <br />apparent trench drain noted much less soil moisture and less <br />evidence of mottling. <br />There are several zones of disturbed soils between the two <br />previously identified wetland, however, it is clear from our field <br />reconnaissance that there is a hydrological connection between the <br />two wetlands which crosses from the residence lot, across the <br />Exception lot and into the previously identified wetland downslope. <br />To summarize, we field checked the site for evidence of a <br />hydrological connection between two previously identified wetlands. <br />Using a soil probe, hydric soils were identified between the two <br />wetlands. In addition, soil saturation was present or evident for <br />the length of the transect. Vegetation within the pasture area was <br />dominated by typical wet pasture species rated Facultative or <br />wetter. <br />There is a hydrological connection between the two wetlands, <br />and there is technically a wetland connection between the two <br />previously identified wetland sites. No delineation of this <br />wetland boundary was conducted. <br />I hope this brief letter report is sufficient for your needs. <br />Please call if you have any further questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dyan e Sheldo <br />[W <br />L&� <br />i, Principal <br />
