According to the request form you sent us,the reason for the wetland identification was to identify any wetlands located in the project area for future sale of the parcel and to verify the accuracy of mapped wetlands onsite. Approximate wetland boundaries were identified following 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and applicable regional supplement guidelines. Wetlands are defined by the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual as areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support,a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. If any wetland areas were detected,their approximate boundaries were sketched onto an aerial photograph (see attached map). Methods used to detect the presence of wetlands within the project area involved on-site and off-site techniques, including a review of antecedent hydrologic conditions, recent aerial photography,Wisconsin Wetland Inventory(WWI) mapping, NRCS Soil Survey mapping, LiDAR and contour mapping, and on-site observations. Based on the data analyzed for the off-site review, as well as the field conditions observed during the field review,wetlands are located in the project review area. The wetland/upland boundaries depicted on the associated field sketch are approximate only and may not be suitable for design purposes, set-back,or permit requirements. A wetland delineation conducted on your property by a qualified wetland delineator may be required if a state wetland permit application is required for your project. Prior to conducting any activities in or around wetlands,we recommend you contact the appropriate staff from DNR Waterways Program,the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers,which may require a federal permit to work in wetlands,and relevant local government zoning authorities to ensure your project meets local floodplain and shoreland zoning ordinance requirements.
