WETLAND DETERMINATION REPORT Windsor Blue Housing Plat Wetland Delineation CONCLUSION May 6,2014 4.0 CONCLUSION Stantec performed a wetland determination and delineation of the Windsor Blue Housing Plat on behalf of Windsor Golf Ventures,Inc. The approximately 10.77-acre Study Area is located in Section 3o, Township 9 North,Range 10 East,Town of Windsor,Dane County,Wisconsin. The purpose and objective of the wetland determination and delineation was to identify the extent and spatial arrangement of wetlands within the Property. No wetlands were identified within the Study Area. Sample points confirming upland conditions were surveyed with GPS,and mapped using GIS software. The site was dominated by periodically mowed grass lawn and mature trees. The USACE has regulatory authority over Waters of the U.S.including adjacent wetlands,and the WDNR has regulatory authority over wetlands,navigable waters,and adjacent lands under Chapters 3o and 281 Wisconsin State Statutes,and Wisconsin Administrative Codes NR 103,299,35o and 353.Finally counties,townships and municipalities may have local zoning authority over certain types of wetlands and waterways. Prior to beginning work at this site or disturbing or altering wetlands,waterways,or adjacent lands in any way,Stantec recommends that the owner obtain the necessary permits or other agency regulatory review and concurrence with regard to the proposed work to comply with applicable regulations. Stantec can assist with identification and/or assessment of additional regulated resources at your request,to the extent that the work is within our range of expertise. The information provided by Stantec regarding wetland determinations and boundaries is a scientific- based analysis of the wetland and upland conditions present on the site at the time of the fieldwork. The determination was performed by experienced and qualified professionals using standard practices and sound professional judgment. The ultimate decision on wetland determinations and boundaries rests with the USACE and,in some cases,the WDNR or a local unit of government. As a result,there may be adjustments to determinations and boundaries based upon review by a regulatory agency. An agency determination can vary from time to time depending on various factors including,but not limited to recent precipitation patterns and the season of the year. In addition,the physical characteristics of the site can change over time,depending on the weather,vegetation patterns,drainage activities on adjacent parcels,or other events. Any of these factors can change the nature and extent of wetlands on the site. Stantec 4.6
