Two small wedand areas were observed and delineaced in che central, �I <br /> lowland por[ion of the si;e (Figure 1). The total wedand area size is estimated [o be 0.8 <br /> to 1.25 acres. Some upland vegetation was also observed within the depressions and ceutrul <br /> lowland. The determined wedands are situated whCre seasonal hydrology,topogaphic lows, <br /> and soil conditions influencC vegetauve cover. These scasonal wecland areas, each isolated <br /> from each other, are described below. � <br /> piflnt Community DescriptiQns � <br /> North Wedand Area, A small open water/emergent mazsh wedand is present off- <br /> site on the properry directly nonh of the subject properry. A distinct wetland area <br /> was located atthe northern properry boundary, Uut was decerminzd to be isolaced <br /> from th� off-site wed�uid to ti�e nurth. Tfus wedand is ralatively small and <br /> ; characierizzd by a scrub/shrub communiry of hardhack (Soiraen clnu�lasii). Willaw <br /> � �`�� Salix s )nnd black cottonwood(Popt�lus trichoclma) are present as uon-dominant <br /> "�, components of the wedand overstory. The groundcover contains an abundance of � <br /> various mosses specias including minor amounts of Sphagnum (Sphagnum sp.), and <br /> 1 '�� , slough sedge (Carex obnuata), This weUand is parzially surrounded by comferous <br /> ,,,+� forest. The transition to upl•and is eviden[with a slight rise in topob�aphy combined <br /> with groundcover species of salal (Cauth�ria shallon), Pacific blackUerry (Rub <br /> ur 'n s), and swordCern (Pnlystichum munitum), Water moves soud� through Lhis <br /> �.. shallow depression, wl�ich provides little flood or storm wacer s[orage. A narrow <br /> ( �.� �� wetland eorridor connects the north and cencral wetlands that differ in their plant <br /> compositions. <br /> p ( � ' ' Centr�l Wetland Area� The weUand areas directly south of the above described � <br /> hardhack community aze drainage depressions. Hardhack occurs as a dominant <br /> sbrub component, however, the willow specias along with red alder (Alnus ruhra) <br /> i � saplings dominate the overstory layer. The isolated clumps of slough sedge observed <br /> ,,,,�0 � in the northern i�alT of the propercy do not occur in ilils area, Thc western wctland <br /> edge joins with the adjacent, upl,md coniferous foresc. Douglas fir (Pseud �s�,iea <br /> �� i menzi 'i , thicke[s of west�rn hemlock 'fsu a heter�,�_nhvlla)saphngs, doiue brackcn <br /> i feru (�eridium :�quilinum) and salat coi�iprise thc adjacent upland communiry. <br /> j ��. Salmonberry (R � �s hpecl3�lis) is presant throughout thC shallow depressions, but <br /> � ' is more abundant on tt�e wetland edges, <br /> Swale-like drainage features were observed west a�id south of the delineated <br /> wetlands (Figur.. 1). These ans�s are devoid of significant vcgetution and are not <br /> considered wedands. <br /> I� <br /> I <br /> , <br /> I <br /> , <br />
