WETLAND DETERMINATION DATA FORM-Northcentral and Northeast Region Project/Site: K 8 L Farm LLC City/County: Town of Fulton,Rode County Sampling Date: May 8,2014 Applicant/OwntDanial Krueger,K&L Farm LLC State: Wi Sampling Point: ZA Investigator(s): Scott Taylor Section,Township,Range: Section 32,T5N,R12E • Landform(hillslope,terrace,etc.): Toeslope Local relief(concave,convex,none): Conave Slope(%): 0 Lat.: 42.8472 N Long.:89.1077 W Datum: UTM 18N Soil Map Unit Name: COlwood silt loam(Co) MA Classification: T3/E1K Are climatic/hydrologic conditions of the site typical for this time of the year? Yes (If no,explain in remarks) Are vegetation ,soil ,or hydrology significantly disturbed? No Are vegetation X ,soil ,or hydrology X naturally problematic? Are"normal circumstances"present? No (If needed,explain any answers in remarks) SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Hydrophytic vegetation present? Yes Is the sampled area within a wetland? Yes Hydnc sod present? Yes If yes,optional wetland site ID: Wetland hydrology present? Yes Remarks:(Explain alternative procedures here or in a separate report.) • Precipitation in the 3 months preceding fieldwork:April-Wet;March-Dry;February-Normal(NOAA online weather data&USDA WETS data for Stoughton,WI.).0.15 inch of rainfall was recorded in Stoughton over the 7 days poor to completion of fieldwork.Normal circumstances were not present since the site had been tilled.The hydrology was naturally problematic since the site was judged wetland even though no water was observed.See discussion under"Vegetation"for discussion of problematic vegetation.

Yes Remarks:(Include photo numbers hem or on a separate sheet) The plot was in a crop field that was recently tilled.Hence this area consisted mostly of bare soil.There was sparse cover of a grass,which had been tilled under,that could not be identified because it was at an early growth stage.Professional judgment was used to assume this site would support hydrophytic vegetation under normal circumstances based on the soil,hydrology and landscape position indicators(the indicator,Problematic hydrophytic vegetation,was selected as the best fn for this situation).
