This parcel has had multiple wetland <br />delineations completed within its boundaries. All delineations indicate that the majority of the <br />parcel is existing wetland, but due to the presence of a private ditch that bisects the parcel and <br />directs hydrology to Branch 3 of Judicial Ditch 3, these wetlands are most likely partially drained <br />and may qualify for wetland bank credits through restoration of partially drained wetlands and <br />creation of upland buffers. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 1.
