Are climatic / hydrologic conditions on the site typical for this time of year? Yes No (If no, explain in Remarks.)

Subregion (LRR or MLRA): LRR K, MLRA 95A 45.312648 Long: -86.948104 Datum:

significantly disturbed? Are “Normal Circumstances” present? No naturally problematic? (If needed, explain any answers in Remarks.)

Hydrophytic Vegetation Present? Yes

Wetland Hydrology Present? Yes If yes, optional Wetland Site ID:

Is the Sampled Area

Hydric Soil Present? Yes within a Wetland? Yes No

Remarks: (Explain alternative procedures here or in a separate report.)

Sample point is in the depression on the west side of the dock between the shoreline to the northwest and the building to the south. The plant community was dominated by wetland species - mainly juncus effusus - but the soil profile and hydrology parameters were not met.

Sapling/shrub – Woody plants less than 3 in. DBH and greater than or equal to 3.28 ft (1 m) tall.

Definitions of Vegetation Strata:

Tree – Woody plants 3 in. (7.6 cm) or more in diameter at breast height (DBH), regardless of height.

Woody Vine Stratum n/a ) Woody vines – All woody vines greater than 3.28 ft in height.

Herb – All herbaceous (non-woody) plants, regardless of size, and woody plants less than 3.28 ft tall.88 =Total Cover

Vegetation

Present? Yes No

Remarks: (Include photo numbers here or on a separate sheet.)

Although the plant community meets the criteria for hydrophytic vegetation, it is only due to 3 wetland plant species (3 stems of willow, 1 sq foot of cattail, and 10 sq feet of rush). The rest of the vegetation is either neutral or more upland species.

This data form is revised from Northcentral and Northeast Regional Supplement Version 2.0 to include the NRCS Field Indicators of Hydric Soils, Version 7.0, 2015 Errata. (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/nrcs142p2_051293.docx)

Multiple pits collapsed in while digging since the sub soil was just sand and cobbles/pebbles, therefore, only logged to 16 inches.
