Welland Ddlneati,oyR� IElensen Town of Oak{I nJ <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> A wetland delineation boundary survey was completed on Big Yellow Lrike Estates, Lot 1, <br /> Section 29, Township 40 North, Range 16 West, Town of Oakland, Burnett County, <br /> Wisconsin on July 05, 2014. The wetland delineation was performed to document the <br /> existing wetland(s) and incorporate this information into future construction and or <br /> development plans for wetland setback(s). The site location can be seen on Figure 1, <br /> IThe scope of work involved determining the Welland boundary adjacent to the proposed <br /> building site to establish a line from which the required setback could be measured. The <br /> delineated wetland boundary is shown in Figure 4. During the field investigation a drainage <br /> ditch was found within the site. The ditch flows generally from the east to west adjacent to <br /> I the alder thicket and Jefferies Road. A portion of the storm water from the proposed building <br /> site and driveway is directed toward this drainage ditch. Water was observed in the ditch at <br /> the time of delineation. Water was also observed in two shallow pits (2,3) used to identify <br /> wetland characteristics at if depth of approx. 15 inches 30 minutes after initial disturbance. It <br /> should be noted that there was a rain event prior to the wetland delineation survey and that the <br /> area had seen abnormally high rainfall for the year. <br /> Martin C. Shutt completed the delineation on July 05, 2014. This report presents the methods <br /> and findings of the delineation. <br /> ' METHODS <br /> ' Wetland Determination Resources <br /> Wetland determinations were made using the criteria, methods and resources found in the <br /> following manuals: <br /> Guidelines for Submitting Welland Delineations in Wisconsin to the Corps of Engineers <br /> (USACE, 1996) <br /> USACE Wetland Delineation Manual(USACE, 1987) <br /> • Wetland Plants& Plants Communities of Minnesota & Wisconsin 2n°& 3"Edition Eggers & <br /> Reed <br /> Wetland Delineation Plant Species Identification, Region 3-2357 Plant Species <br /> NRCS PLANTS Data Base <br /> • WISFLORA: WISCONSIN VASCULAR PLANT SPECIES, <br /> wwwthotanv.wisceduhv MEota <br /> National Resources Conservation Service,nntplmtts-usdaeov <br /> Data Collection <br /> Preliminary data gathering for the project was completed to compile sources of information <br /> useful in making wetland determinations.
