NYSDEC OHMS Document No. 201469232-00006

Wetland K (Revised) Located along the northern boundary of Area 4, Wetland K is predominantly a drainage channel receiving surface flow from an adjacent mowed grass lot. Several shallow depressional areas extend from the channel to the south into the maintained area (See Figure 8 Revised Delineated Wetlands, Sheets 8 and 9). The delineated portion of this wetland totals approximately 0.60 acre, however, the wetland extends beyond the delineated area and outside of the study area into a culvert to the west at Flag KX-55 (Appendix C, Photo 33). Wetland K is dominated by wetland vegetation, including common reed, common rush, silky dogwood, and sedges (Appendix C, Photo 12, 19, 23, 27, 31, 32, and 34). All areas of the wetland are periodically maintained and mowed, except in the wettest portions of the drainage ditch. Evidence of hydric soils includes low chroma matrix colors (10YR 3/2, 10YR 4/2, and 10YR 5/2) with common high chroma mottles (10YR 5/6) at wetland sampling point #1, concretions, and a texture consistent with clay. Primary indicators of hydric soils could best be characterized as a depleted matrix (F3). Evidence of wetland hydrology in the wetland at the time of delineation included inundation to a depth of 1-3 inches, saturated soils in the upper 12 inches, and water-stained leaves. Although Wetland K is primarily a drainage ditch receiving surface flow from a developed maintenance area and wash pad, it is believed that Wetland K flows west into waters of the U.S. and is likely to be considered jurisdictional due to the natural flow from the emergent wetlands identified during the supplemental delineation. Wetland K is bordered to the east by a paved parking area and to the west by regularly mowed upland areas. The vegetation at the upland sample points were dominated by fescues, with some perennial rye grass, white clover, Queen Anne’s lace and dandelion present in smaller percentages. There was no evidence of wetland hydrology in these areas, and the soils exhibited non hydric characteristics with colors of 10YR 4/3, 10YR 4/4 and 10YR 5/4.

Total Acres 3.78 3.09 2.54 1.96 1 Wetland community types noted are based upon the Cowardin et al classification system: EM = emergent marsh; SS = scrub shrub; FO = forested. 2 Preliminary determinations by EDR. Final jurisdictional determinations to be provided by USACE. 3 A supplemental wetland delineation was conducted on April 11, 2011 resulting in additional acreage for Wetland K.
