Characteristics of wetlands adjacent to non -TNW that flow directly or indirectly into TNW <br />(i) Physical Characteristics: <br />(a) General Wetland Characteristics: <br />Properties: <br />Wetland size: acres <br />Wetland type. Explain: <br />Wetland quality. Explain: <br />Project wetlands cross or serve as state boundaries. Explain: <br />(b) General Flow Relationship with Non -TNW: <br />Flow is: Pick List. Explain: <br />Surface flow is: Pick List <br />Characteristics: <br />Subsurface flow: Pick List. Explain findings: <br />❑ Dye (or other) test performed: <br />(c) Wetland Adjacency Determination with Non -TNW: <br />❑ Directly abutting <br />❑ Not directly abutting <br />❑ Discrete wetland hydrologic connection. Explain: <br />❑ Ecological connection. Explain: <br />❑ Separated by berm/barrier. Explain: <br />(d) Proximity Relationship to TNW <br />Project wetlands are Pick List river miles from TNW. <br />Project waters are Pick List aerial (straight) miles from TNW. <br />Flow is from: Pick List. <br />Estimate approximate location of wetland as within the Wffi floodplain. <br />(ii) Chemical Characteristics: <br />Characterize wetland system (e.g., water color is clear, brown, oil film on surface; water quality; general watershed <br />characteristics; etc.).
