On Wit dte, tNen are three communldea of wetland vegetatioa The 5rst is the area whic6 6as reantty been filled, along We northern edge of the property, �djaant to Silver Lake Road. 'ILe vegetadon on t6e fill is predomtnantly all weWnd apedes wiW a ratIng of FACW or OBL geed pnarygraas (phaloir mundinooea) ia visually dominant because of its rather rapid g�rownh compared to the woody �pedes prcaent Soft rush (luncur eJjiuur)� sPirea (Spirai da�tglasit), and wWow are oommon through..:�t the fill. Scattered upland apecies cue6 ae Soot'a broom (Gytisur soopmiusl and blackberry (Rubus dis�cnla) are alao praent on the 6ll; 6owever, t6ey are not as oommon as the wetland speda and ue preaent because of the{r preferena for open diaturbed sites. 'ILe atea of wedxnd on the northern portion of this property which has not beea f►lled contains a well-established ahn►b wedand dominated by spirea and various species of wiUow shrubs. The 6erbaaous vegetadon in this �rea is compoud of soft rush and several species of sedges (Cara app.). 'Ibe southweatern coruer of the property oontains a small pond eucaveted adjacent to t6e stream, and a sawll remnant of emergent wedand which is periodically mowed. 1Le vegetation is oomposed of velvet graas, soft rush, lady fern (Arhynum jrlir fimina), and unideatified aedgea. A considerable portion of the wetland is vegetated with an unidentified lawn grass. Wetland Mea As a result of We field surveys, We following wetland acreage was determined: • northem portion of site: - 0.21 acres w�f'illed spiraea wedand, - 0.41 arres 6lled wetland (pioneeringluncus, willow, and spiraea vegetation present); and • southern portion of site: - 0.16 acres of pond and adjaoent emergent Vegetadoa Figure 2 shows the locadons and boundaries of the wedand areas. In addidon, a narrow step of riparian and wedand vegetatioa, (approximately S feet wide) parallels the Silver Lake Geek along the westem boundary of the property. IMPACIS'I'O WETLAND 'Ibe proposed muld-family development will result in the loss of 0.41 acras of 6lled wetland, and 0.24 acres of un6lled emergent wetland. The loss of the 0.41 acres of filled
