ProjectSummary

HYDROLOGY Inundated? Yes: X (in part) No: Depth of standing water: to approximately 3 in Depth to saturated soil: at surface to approximately 25 in Overview of hydrological flow through the system: This site receives water through precipitation, sheet flow from adjacent higher ground, and possibly from backflow via Schneider Ditch (Rorick 1994). Water leaves the site via evapotranspiration and by sheet flow into Schneider Ditch. Size of watershed: < 5 mi2 Other field evidence observed: This site is lower than ground to the north and the west. Well data indicated that most of this site satisfied the wetland hydrology criteria for more than 12.5% of the 2011 growing season (Miner et al. 2011). All of the site satisfied the wetland hydrology criteria for more than 5% of the 2011 growing season, and has dominant hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils. Wetland hydrology: Yes: X No: Rationale: The relatively low landscape position and well data collected
throughout the 2011 growing season indicate that wetland hydrology is present. In our opinion, this site is flooded or saturated long enough to meet the wetland hydrology criterion.
DETERMINATION AND RATIONALE:
Is the site a wetland? Yes: X No: Rationale for decision: Dominant hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils,
and wetland hydrology are all present. This site meets all of the wetland criteria. The NWI codes this site as U (upland).

ROUTINE ON-SITE WETLAND DETERMINATION Site 7 (page 2 of 2)
Field Investigators: Ketzner and Keene Date: 24 October 2011 Project Name: Eckmann/Bischoff Wetland Mitigation Site State: Illinois County: Madison Applicant: IDOT District 8 Site Name: Wet Meadow Legal Description: Sec. 25, T3N, R9W Location: 55 ft east of levee
HYDROLOGY Inundated? Yes: No: X Depth of standing water: n/a Depth to saturated soil: > 40 in Overview of hydrological flow through the system: This site receives water through precipitation, sheet flow from adjacent higher ground, and possibly from backflow via Schneider Ditch. Water leaves the site via evapotranspiration. Size of watershed: < 5 mi2 Other field evidence observed: In 2011, none of the site satisfied the wetland hydrology criteria for more than 12.5% of the growing season (Miner et al. 2011). However, it did satisfy the wetland hydrology criteria for more than 5% of the growing season, and has dominant hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils. Wetland hydrology: Yes: X No: Rationale: This site satisfied the wetland hydrology criteria for more than 5%
of the 2011 growing season, and also has hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils.
DETERMINATION AND RATIONALE:
Is the site a wetland? Yes: X No: Rationale for decision: Dominant hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils,
and wetland hydrology are all present. This site meets all of the wetland criteria. The NWI codes this site as U (upland).
