WETLAND DETERMINATION DATA FORM-Northcentral and Northeast Region Project/Site: K 8 L Farm LLC _ City/County: Town of Albion,Dane County Sampling Date: May 8,2014 Applicant/OwneDaniaTTCrueger,K&L Farm LLC State: WI Sampling Point: SA Investigator(s): Scott Taylor Section,Township,Range: Section 5,T4N,R12E Landform(hillslope,terrace,etc.): Toeslope Local relief(concave,convex,none): Concave Slope(%): 0 Lan.: 42.8472 N Long.:89.1077 W Datum: UTM 18N Soil Map Una Name: Sable silty clay loam(SaA) VNM Classification: None Are climatic/hydrologic conditions of the she 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 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 Hydric soil 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 prior to completion of fieldwork.Normal circumstances were not present since the site had been tilled within the last year.

Yes Remarks:(Include photo numbers here or on a separate sheet) The plot was in a crop field that,unlike most of the surrounding crop field,was not recently tilled(but has been tilled in past years)because this area was too wet.The surface was mostly bare soil and contained debris from last year's crop.However there was sparse(roughly 15%)cover of a weed that could not be identified because it was in an early growth stage.It is likely the weed was hydrophytic since the soil, hydrology and landscape position indicators strongly suggested this site was wetland.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 fit for this situation).
