FACW-Facultative Wetlands- Usually found in wetlands 67 to 99%
OBL- Obligate-Always found in wetlands 99%

Note***
   Sites where vegetation is not presumed to be adequate to delineate the boundary or sites that have been disturbed will require more detailed analysis. Certain areas have wide transition zones where the BVW boundary is not obvious. Wetland hydrology at a particular site may vary from season to season and direct observations of wetland hydrology may not always be possible.
   For these sites, the presence of hydric soils and/or other indicators of wetland hydrology together with vegetation will need to be evaluated and documented in more detail to establish a BVW boundary. On disturbed sites, soils may be used as the sole criterion for determining a BVW boundary.

".... Based upon the on-site review and a review of the Plan of Record (POR) dated November 11, 2005, it is the position of Sabatia, Inc. that the wetland resource areas as depicted on the POR under-represent the extent of wetlands particularly the bordering vegetated wetlands (310 CMR 10.55).
In each of the areas you marked.....the wetlands are under-represented...."
