Are climatic/hydrologic conditions on the site typical for this time of year? Yes✓ No � (If no, explain in Remarks)
Are Vegetation �, Soil � , or Hydrology � significantly disturbed? (If yes, explain in Remarks)
Are Vegetation � , Soil � , or Hydrology 0 naturally problematic? (If yes, explain in Remarks)
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS —Attach site map and photograph log showing sampling locations, transects, etc.
Wetland vegetation criterion met? Yes✓ No � Is the Sampled Area YesO✓ No Q
Hydric Soils criterion met? YesO✓ No 0 within a Wetland?
Wetlands hydrology present? YesO✓ No 0
Remarks, Photo Details, Flagging, etc.:
Transition from Upland into Wetland not recently disturbed. Site was originally disturbed for the
construction of the dwelling in1974. Minor disturbance to buffer zone for recent deck construction. No
disturbed soils or siltation observed. See attached photos for transition zone, wetland flags and new
deck on rear of dwelling.
