Himanshu Mehta P . E . <br /> 23 March 2009 <br /> Page 6 <br /> SWDD ' s staff will transmit the weekly record to Geosyntec for processing and reporting to <br /> SJRWMD in accordance with the permit requirements . <br /> Task 3 . 2 : Wetland Transect Monitoring (Baseline and Annual) <br /> The baseline monitoring will include performing the following sub -tasks : <br /> • Photographs of the landscape at each cardinal direction will be taken at every photograph <br /> station . Additional photographs will be taken as warranted to support other monitoring <br /> data. <br /> • Soil surface elevations at 5400t increments will be survey - located along each transect . <br /> Survey data will be recorded to an accuracy of ±0 . I foot . <br /> • Geosyntec will assist the surveyor in identifying distinct features along the transect . Soil <br /> surface elevations will be obtained at these locations . These features may include the <br /> following : <br /> o Upland/wetland interface ; <br /> o Present water level ; <br /> o Cypress buttress inflection points (no more than three individuals) ; <br /> o Lower extent of lichen lines or upper extent of moss collars , watermarks , and the <br /> lower edge of the saw palmetto fringe ; <br /> o Changes in plant community types . <br /> • All plants observed within 10 feet and parallel of each transect will be identified to the <br /> lowest taxonomic level practicable . <br /> • Diameter at breast height ( DBH ) will be recorded for woody species that have greater <br /> than 1 . 0 - inch DBH . <br /> • Soil data will be obtained at 2546ot increments along each transect (seven soil samples <br /> per transect) . Soil characteristics (color, texture , and hydric soil indicators ) will be <br /> recorded . Soil borings for this evaluation will be a minimum depth of 24 inches , except <br /> in the case where open water is encountered . In open water, water depth to sediment <br /> surface will be recorded (maximum of 3 feet) , along with depth of organic substrate . <br /> NCP2009/X1 .09084/J L90075 . doc <br />
