Re: Wetland Delineation
Route 9 Site (Former Driving Range)
Town of Saratoga, Saratoga County, NY
Dear Steve:
Ecological Solutions, LLC completed a wetland delineation on the referenced site located
on Route 9 in the Town of Saratoga on September 25, 2003 (Figure 1).
Federal wetlands or waters of the US are based upon the identification of the three
mandatory criteria for wetland determination as outlined in the 1987 Federal Manual and
supplement: dominant hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and evidence of wetland hydrology. The
Routine Methodology procedure for wetland determination was utilized.
The detailed field investigation included:
1. Identification of vegetation species to determine whether there was a dominance of
hydrophytic plants and areas containing transitional but primarily wetland -oriented
species.
2. Determination of soil features for hydric (poorly and very poorly drained) natural soils.
3. Observation of site features displaying evidence of wetland hydrology based on the
presence of inundated areas, apparent high seasonal water tables, and evidence of
saturation within 12 inches of the surface (considered the root zone) d uring sufficient
periods during the growing season to provide for anaerobic/hydric soil conditions during
soil sampling.
The delineation was completed in accordance with the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
Wetlands Delineation Manual (January 1987), Routine Determination Method and
Northcentral/Northeast supplement. One wetland was delineated along the rear property
boundary.
