On the Western edge there is a Type 6 wetland consisting mainly of Alder. Red-Osier Dogwood and Marsh Marigold are also very prevalent on the wetland side. On the upland side there are Cottonwood and Box-elder trees. Although these trees can be found in wetlands, they are also indicative of disturbed soil conditions which are present in this case. Common Buckthorn, Raspberry, Canada Goldenrod, Honeysuckle and Smooth Brome grass are good upland indicators which are also present on the upland side of the delineated edge. There is a fairly steep slope along this Western edge which helps define the wetland boundary. Soils go from a heavy organic saturated within seven inches, to a silty sand with no The wetland covering the SE portion of the property is a 2/6 consisting of a Reed Canary Grass basin with areas of dense Red-Osier Dogwood. Aspen are also present along the fringe of this wetland. The upland consists of Raspberry, Canada Goldenrod, Smooth Brome Grass and Dandelion. The wetland edge followed the edge of the fill used in the making of the roadway. The middle and lowest area of this wetland did not have standing water within 18 inches of the surface. However, mottling and saturated conditions were present within the first 12 inches. Wetland boundaries were marked in the field with lath and orange wetland boundary flagging. The areas marked as wetland were those just previously described as being along the Western edge and SE corner of the property. Each stake was also numbered. Stakes were marked #1-12 along the western boundary from North to South. The other wetland was marked #1-14 starting in the NW corner of the wetland, working counterclockwise and circling back to the starting point.
