{rL e I I .t o 'E n v i r o n m e n t a I C o n s u l t a n t s <br /> ` "!:°INTRODUCTION <br /> } On April 20 ,1987 Lelito Environmental Consultants conducted <br /> % ian <br /> site analysis of Lot #65 Waterline Drive South in Little <br /> :1-!'I ; Neck Bay Mashpee, Massachusetts. The purpose of this analysis <br /> "was to accurately determine the protectable resource areas <br /> r� <br /> existing on site and their boundaries. <br /> M' <br /> METHODOLOGY <br /> The site perimeter and interior were traversed on foot. <br /> Observations were made of existing vegetative cover types, <br /> surface water flow and soils . Quadrants and soil sampling <br /> stations were established to help determine the existing <br /> resource areas and their boundaries . <br /> The site determinations were performed using the definitions <br /> and criteria provided in the regulations promulgated under <br /> Massachusetts General Law Chapter 131, Section 40, The <br /> Wetlands Protection Act at 310 CMR 10 . 00 . The Wetlands <br /> Resource Area Boundary determinations were made consistent <br /> with the requirements under Part II of the Regulations at 310 <br /> CMR 10. 30 ( 1) , 10 . 32 (2 ) (a) and Part III 10 . 55 (2 ) (a) . <br /> The Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) has <br /> adopted the United States Fish and Wildlife Service National <br /> Wetland Inventory (FWSNWI ) as the definitive source for <br /> wetland plant species. This inventory classifies wetland <br /> plants commonly found in this region into six categories. <br /> 1. Obligate (OBL) . Always found in wetlands under natural <br /> (not planted) conditions ( frequency grater than 99% ) , <br /> but may persist in non-wetlands if planted there by <br /> man or in wetlands that have been drained, filled, or <br /> otherwise transformed into non-wetlands . <br /> 2 . Facultative Wetland (FACW) . Usually found in wetlands <br /> ( 67% - 99% frequency) , but occasionally found in <br /> non-wetlands. 4 <br /> 3 . Facultative (FAC) . Sometimes found in wetlands ( 34% - z <br /> 66% frequency) , but also occurs in non-wetlands . <br /> 4 . Facultative Upland (FACU) . Seldom found in wetlands <br /> ( 18 - 33% frequency) and usually occurs in <br /> non-wetlands . <br /> 5 . Non-wetland (UPL) . Occurs in wetlands in another <br /> i� <br />
