~ NRCS Natural Resources Conservation Service A product of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local participants Custom Soil Resource Report for Salem County, New Jersey NJDEP Freshwater Wetland LOI May 19, 2009
Preface Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, orenhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases.
Examples include soil quality assessments (http://soils.usda.govfsqif) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (http://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?
agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://soils.usda.gov/contactl state_offices!).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Soil Data Mart Web site or the NRCS Web Soil Survey. The Soil Data Mart is the data storage site for the official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area.
Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-Iandscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics ofthe soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the 5
Custom Soil Resource Report individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil sCientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific locations. Once the soil-landscape mode! is refined, a significantly smaller number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soi! on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits forthe properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils, Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They mayor may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in smail areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used.
Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape.

Custom Soil Resource Report The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas, An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series, Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use, On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil plJases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soHs or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps, The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform, An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it Can be made up of all of them, Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include misceJlaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

- 1. INTROD UCTION This report summarizes the results of jurisdictional wetland delineation efforts performed at the PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG) Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations, Salem County, New Jersey.
Wetland delineation activities were performed by AKRF, Inc.
environmental scientists in Spring 2008 and Spring 2009. In accordance with N,J.A.C.
7:7A-2.3, field activities to identify and delineate wetlands were performed as outlined in the Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands (1989 Manual).
Wetlands delineated in the field also were consistent with the guidelines outlined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (1987 Manual) and 2008 Supplement. Both manuals use a three parameter analysis of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and hydrology for wetland determinations.
This report presents descriptions of wetland and upland communities observed at the proposed site, the methods used as part of the wetland delineation effort, and the results of the wetland field determination. Attachment A of this report presents wetland determination data forms.
Attachment B contains site photographs.
Attachment C provides the wetland boundaries for the Site (including locations of all sample points).
- 2. SITE DE SCRIPTION The Salem and Hope Creek Generating Station properties (Block 26, Lots 4, 4.01, 5, and 5.01) are located in the southern region of the Delaware River Valley in Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, New Jersey. The entire facility occupies approximately 734 acres of land along the east bank of the Delaware River and is situated at river mile 50 1. Approximately 367 acres of the property are undeveloped and comprised of uplands, freshwater wetlands, tidal wetlands, and other undeveloped areas. A portion of the PSEG property also includes approximately 60 acres of land dedicated as a dredge spoil disposal facility for routine facility maintenance dredging activities. This disposal facility was approved by the NJDEP as a disposal site for dredged materials and materials produced as part of routine desilting of the intake structures and other facilities on January 22, 1976 (#74-014). This area is adjacent to a larger confined disposal facility that is used by the Philadelphia District of the United States Army Corps of Engineers during maintenance dredging of the main navigation channel of the Delaware River and Bay.
While a large portion of the project area is undeveloped, much of this undeveloped area displays evidence of anthropogenic disturbances such as the deposit of dredge material and fill, and the creation of ditches.
The disturbed nature of the property hosts communities of invasive plant speCies such as common reed (Phragmites australis),
mile-a-minute (Polygonum petioliatum), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica).
Detailed summaries of the wetlands identified on-site are provided below in the Jurisdictional Wetland Determination section of this report.
1 River mile "0" is at the mouth of the Delaware Bay with miles increasing upstream.
- 3. PRELIMIN ARY INFORMATION REVIEW Prior to performing the on-site delineation efforts, data from publicly available resources and mapping were reviewed. The following presents a list of resources used as part of the preliminary information review task.

Mapped freshwater wetlands exist immediately east of the access road and in certain portions of the dredge spoil disposal facility (located in the northwestern portion of the Site).
According to the Soil Survey generated specifically for the Salem and Hope Creek Generating Station Sites, mapped soil series including Transquaking mucky peat, Udorthents (dredged fine material), Urban land, and Water. A brief description of these areas is provided below.
Transquaking mucky peat - Transquaking mucky peat is a very poorly drained soil of herbaceous organic materials over loamy sediments found in tidal flats of the North Atlantic Coastal Plain (NRCS 2008).
Within the Project Area, this series is limited to a small area in the southeastern portion of the site.
Udorthents (dredged fine material) -
Udorthents dredged fine material is described by the NRCS as well drained dredged fill or excavated borrow materials derived from river channels, pits, or previously unaltered soils (NRCS 2008). Most of the undeveloped areas to the north and east of the Salem and Hope Creek Generating Station property are mapped as Udorthents dredged fine material.
Urban land - According to the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS),
Urban land consists of areas where much of the soil surface is covered with asphalt, concrete, buildings, or other impervious cover (NRCS 2008). Most of the Project Area is made up of Urban lands.
Water - Areas mapped as Water are defined by the NRCS as areas inundated with water for most of the year and generally include rivers, ponds or lakes (NRCS 2008). Areas mapped as Water include the River and a ponded area located in the dredge spoil disposal area in the western portion of the Site.
- 4. JURISDI CTIONAL WETLAND DETERMINATION Wetland delineation activities were performed in the Spring 2008 (March 12 and 13) and Spring 2009 (April 9, 10, 16, 17, 28 and May 8) to determine the upland-wetland boundaries for freshwater wetland resources occurring at the PSEG Facility.
In accordance with applicable state and federal requirements for wetland delineations, field investigations were performed as outlined in the 1989 Manual (and 1987 Manual and 2008 Supplement). Indicator parameters used to identify the presence of wetlands and assess their approximate boundaries included the predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, the presence of hydric soils, and the presence of wetland hydrology or wetland hydrology indicators.
Wetland parameter data were collected within wetland and upland areas of the project area. At each data collection point, vegetation was identified and characterized by stratum (herb, shrub, and canopy layer), the soils were described (hue, value, and chroma), and where applicable, evidence of wetland hydrology was noted.
Areas meeting all of the technical criteria set forth in the appropriate guidance documents were flagged and numbered to mark a jurisdictional wetland boundary. Subsequently, GPS points were taken along the wetland boundary at each flag and at each data point location with a Trimble Pathfinder ProXRS GPS. As part of a Quality Assurance/Quality Control measure, points were field verified and subsequently certified by a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS).
A description of the wetland systems delineated on-site is provided below.
Wetland determination data forms are provided as Attachment A.
Photographs of wetlands occurring onsite are provided in Attachment B. A drawing of the wetland boundaries is provided as Attachment C.
During the wetland delineation, freshwater wetland complexes and Waters of the State were identified, flagged, and surveyed with GPS. The flagged areas generally consist of emergent wetlands, mixed open water and emergent wetland complexes, and jurisdictional freshwater ditches and other drainage features located throughout the property.
Descriptions of these areas are provided below.
Wetland boundaries delineated in the field are presented in Attachment C.
Throughout most of the undeveloped portions of the site, upland areas observed adjacent to delineated wetlands were predominantly vegetated with common reed.
These areas also consistently were vegetated with other common species found in disturbed uplands including Japanese honeysuckle and multiflora rose.
The key characteristic of these areas was the lack of wetland hydrology, specifically the unsaturated nature of the soils and lack of groundwater infiltration within the first 12 to 18 inches from the ground surface.
WETLANDA1 Wetland Ai was observed to be a small freshwater wetland community predominantly vegetated with common reed.
Based on field observations, this area appears to be hydrologically isolated from larger, more expansive wetlands also observed in adjacent areas of the facility. Soils observed in Wetland Ai were dark gray in color (10 YR 411) with brownish yellow and strong brown mottles (10 YR 6/S and 7.5 YR 5/S, respectively).
Soils were observed ~o be clayey in texture.
Indicators of wetland hydrology observed throughout Wetland Ai included saturated soils at the surface, depths to free water of approximately 2 inches, sediment deposits, and water-stained leaves.
WETLANDB1 Wetland B 1 was observed to be a freshwater wetland predominantly vegetated with common reed.
Other species observed in Wetland B1 included broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), and marsh elder (Iva frutescens). A linear drainage feature also was observed that extended in a southeasterly direction into the main portion of Wetland B1. Ponded water of up to several inches was observed in this feature at the time of field activities. Soils observed in Wetland B1 were gray in color (1 a YR 5/1) with strong brown mottles (7.5 YR 5/S). Soils were clayey in texture. Indicators of wetland hydrology observed throughout Wetland B1 included soils saturated near the surface, ponded water, oxidized root channels, and water-stained leaves.
WETLANDS C1 AND 01 Wetland C1 was observed to be a narrow linear drainage feature that extended from west to east into the main portion of Wetland 01. This feature was approximately 3 to 7 feet in width, with surface water depths of 1 to 6 inches. Wetland 01 was observed to be a large expansive wetland community predominantly vegetated with common reed.
Much of Wetland 01 was characterized in the field as a freshwater wetland community, however, tidally influenced ditches also were observed in the southernmost portions of the wetland.
Soils observed in Wetland 01 generally were dark gray or very dark grayish brown in color (10 YR 4/1 and 10 YR 3/2 respectively) and were characterized as silty clay in texture. Indicators of wetland hydrology observed in Wetland 01 include inundated areas, soils saturated near the surface, water marks, and water stained leaves.
WETLANDF1 Wetland F1 was observed to be a freshwater wetland also predominantly vegetated with common reed.
Other species observed in Wetland F1 included broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), and marsh elder (Iva frutescens). Wetland F appears to have formed in a topographically low area that is comprised mostly of fill material. Soils observed in Wetland F1 were gray in color (10 YR 5/1) with strong brown mottles (7.5 YR 5/8).
Soils were mostly sandy clay in texture.
Indicators of wetland hydrology observed throughout Wetland F1 included soils saturated at or near the surface, ponded water in several areas, oxidized root channels, and water-stained leaves.
WETLANDS G1 AND H1 Wetland G1 and Hi were observed to be freshwater wetlands predominantly vegetated with common reed. Other species observed in Wetland G and H included broomsedge and marsh elder.
Wetland G1 and Hi appear to be stormwater ditches that were constructed or formed along the northern edge of the dirt access road that runs behind the chiller buildings. Over time, portions of the stormwater ditch overflowed and caused the wetland area to expand in the northeastern direction. The result is large wetland areas that narrows to a more defined stormwater ditches as the flows converge into culverts that runs under a paved access road. Ponded water of up to several inches was observed in these ditches at the time of field activities. Soils observed in Wetland G and H were gray in color (10 YR 5/1) with strong brown mottles (7.5 YR 5/8). Soils were mostly sandy clay in texture. Indicators of wetland hydrology observed throughout Wetland G1 and Hi included soils saturated at or near the surface, ponded water in several areas, oxidized root channels, and water-stained leaves.
Similar to the previously identified wetland areas, Wetlands G1 and Hi both were bordered by uplands that were dominated by common reed. However, multiple less defined access roads were observed in the area along the borders of these wetland areas. The access roads are likely used by Station security personnel or maintenance workers requiring access to adjacent transmission towers. Usage of the access roads by motor vehicles has resulted in compacted soils and stunted growth of upland vegetation.
WETLAND 11 Wetland 11 was observed to be a large expansive wetland community predominantly vegetated with common reed. Much of Wetland 11 was characterized in the field as a freshwater wetland community. However, tidally influenced ditches also were observed in the easternmost portions of the wetland as the site boundary was approached. Soils observed in Wetland 11 generally were dark gray or very dark grayish brown in color (10 YR 4/1 and 10 YR 3/2 respectively) and were characterized as silty clay in texture.
Indicators of wetland hydrology observed in Wetland 11 include inundated areas, soils saturated at or near the surface, water marks, ponded water in several areas, and water stained leaves.
Similar to the previously identified wetland areas, Wetlands 11 was bordered by uplands that were dominated by common reed. However, similar to the uplands associated with Wetlands C1 and 01, areas of fill were observed (possibly from past construction associated with the transmission towers) that Significantly raised the elevation of portions of the area several feet above the typical wetland elevation. In these areas, wetland vegetation such as common reed were observed, but in fewer quantities and appeared to be stunted similar to other areas.
Additionally, these raised fill areas exhibited none of the typical wetland hydrology or soil characteristics observed in other wetland areas.
WETLAND 0 The area delineated as Wetland D was observed to be a small open water depression located along the western boundary of the PSEG dredge spoil disposal facility site. This area was bordered to the west and southeast by existing access roadways and to the north by an existing berm. During preliminary wetland delineation efforts, this area was observed to be dry, or nearly dry. However, during the Spring 2009 delineation, this area was observed to contain over 18 inches of water in deeper portions. Wetland 0 contained small amounts of water dock (Rumex verticillatus) and algae interspersed throughout. The edges of this area were vegetated sparsely with common reed.
WETLANDE The area delineated as Wetland E also was observed to be a small open water depression located along the western boundary of the PSEG dredge spoil disposal facility site.
This area was bordered to the west and northwest by existing access roadways and to the east by an existing berm. During preliminary wetland delineation efforts, this area was observed to be dry, or nearly dry. However, during the Spring 2009 delineation, this area was observed to contain 2 to 18 inches of water. Wetland E contained small amounts of water dock and algae interspersed throughout. The edges of this area also were vegetated sparsely with common reed.
WETLANDF Wetland F was observed to be a large open water and emergent wetland complex located in the northwestern portion of the PSEG dredge spoil disposal facility area.
Wetland F is bordered by a berm to the north and east, disturbed uplands to the south and an existing access road to the west. Open water areas of Wetland F range in depth from 1 to 24 inches in depth.
This area also was observed to contain freshwater emergent wetlands along its edges, vegetated entirely with common reed. Soils observed in the fringe wetland areas were very dark gray in color (10 YR 4/1), with light brown and light gray models, and were clayey in texture.
Indicators of wetland hydrology observed in wetland area F include surface water and inundation, saturated soils, water marks, and water stained leaves.
WETLAND G, H, I, AND J Areas delineated as Wetlands G through J make up a network of vegetated stormwater drainage ditches, connected by culverts, that collect and convey stormwater runoff associated with facility parking areas and other impervious surfaces. These areas were observed to be vegetated predominantly with common reed. These areas were 1 to 12 inches in depth at the time of the Spring 2009 field investigations, but are known to contain water throughout most of the year.
These areas continue via underground pipes towards the drainage channel delineated as "P" and "T" and ultimately flow into the Delaware River (via the drainage feature delineated as "R").
WETLANDS K AND L Areas delineated as Wetlands K and L are linear stormwater drainage features hydrologically connected to the areas described above as Wetlands G through J.
However, due to observed conditions, including a lack of hydric soils, these areas were flagged as Waters of the State, as opposed to wetlands. As described above, these areas continue via underground pipes towards the drainage channel delineated as "P" and "T' and ultimately flow into the Delaware River (via the drainage feature delineated as "R").
WETLANDS Wetland S was observed to be a large open water and emergent wetland complex located in the northeastern portion of the PSEG dredge spoil disposal facility area.
Wetland S is bordered by a berm to the north, PSEG's shooting range facilities to the east and southeast, and disturbed uplands to the south and west. Open water areas ranged in depth from 1 to 24 inches in depth. This area also was observed to contain freshwater emergent wetlands along its edges, vegetated entirely with common reed.
Soils observed in the fringe wetland areas were very dark gray in color (10 YR 4/1), with light brown and light gray models, and were clayey in texture. Indicators of wetland hydrology observed in wetland area S include surface water and inundation, saturated soils, water marks, and water stained leaves.
WETLANDS N, 0, AND 01 Wetland areas delineated as Nand 0 are stormwater drainage ditches (vegetated in certain areas) connected by a culvert.
These drainage features are located in the southern portion of the PSEG dredge spoil disposal facility.
These areas were observed to be vegetated predominantly with common reed along the edges. These areas were 6 to 12 inches in depth at the time of the Spring 2009 field investigations, and are known to contain water throughout most of the year. These areas were flagged in the field as Waters of the State due to the lack of hydric soils.
WETLAND P, Q, R, AND T Wetland areas delineated as P through R, and T are vegetated stormwater drainage ditches, connected by a culvert. These areas were characterized in the field as Waters of the State. This system of ditches is located in the northern portion of the PSEG Facility, immediately along the existing paved access road. These areas were observed to be vegetated predominantly with common reed along the edges. These areas were 1 to 12 inches in depth at the time of the Spring 2009 field investigations, but generally contain water throughout most of the year.
The portion delineated as Wetland R extends beyond the Upper Wetland Boundary, and into the Delaware River.
Wetland U Wetland U was observed to be a vegetated stormwater drainage feature located near the main access road of the facility.
This area was predominantly vegetated with common reed and softrush.
Areas of standing water within Wetland U also were observed to contain significant amounts of algae. Wetland U contained approximately 6-10 inches of water at the time of field activities.
Wetland V/w Wetland VNV includes a linear stormwater drainage feature predominantly vegetated with common reed. This feature is located adjacent to the main access road of the facility and contains stormwater runoff from a significant portion of the surrounding upland areas to the south and west.
This feature contained approximately 3 to 12 inches of water at the time of field investigations. Soils observed within these areas generally were very dark gray in color (10 YR 4/1), with light brown and light gray models with a silty clay texture.
Wetlands X and Y Wetlands X and Y were both small palustrine emergent wetlands located in an undeveloped area in the central portion of the facility. These areas both were vegetated with common reed, softrush (Juncus effusus), and spikerush (Eleocharis obtusa), and were observed to have approximately 4 inches of standing water at the time of delineation. Soils observed in these areas were dark gray in color (10 YR 4/1) with brownish yellow and strong brown mottles (10 YR 6/8 and 7.5 YR 5/8, respectively).
Wetland Z Wetland Z is a palustrine emergent wetland located in an undeveloped area in the central portion of the facility. Wetland Z is vegetated with common reed, with lesser amounts of softrush and spikerush interspersed throughout wetter portions of the area.
Soils observed in Wetland Z generally were dark gray in color (10 YR 4/1) with brownish yellow mottles (10 YR 6/8).
Indicators of wetland hydrology observed in Wetland Z included standing water (up to 4 inches), saturation, water marks, and water stained leaves.
Wetland AA Wetland AA is a palustrine emergent wetland, similar to Wetland Z, located in an undeveloped area in the central portion of the facility. Wetland AA is vegetated with common reed, with softrush and spikerush interspersed throughout inundated portions of the area. Soils observed in Wetland AA generally were dark gray in color (10 YR 4/1) with brownish yellow and strong brown mottles (10 YR 6/8 and 7.5 YR 5/8, respectively).
Indicators of wetland hydrology observed in Wetland AA included standing water (up to 4 inches), saturation, water marks, and water stained leaves.
Wetland BB (main portion of the site)
Wetland BB is a palustrine emergent wetland, located in the same undeveloped portion of the facility as Wetlands Z and AA.
This area was predominantly vegetated with common reed, with little other wetland species observed. Soils observed in Wetland BB were gray in color (10 YR 5/1) with yellowish brown mottles (10 YR 5/6) and clayey in texture. Standing water was observed ranging from 2 to 6 inches in depth. Additional indicators of wetland hydrology observed within Wetland BB included saturated soils within 12 inches of the surface, water marks, and water stained leaves.
Wetland CC Wetland CC was observed to be a small isolated depression located along the western portion of the project site, adjacent to the Delaware River shoreline. The area was observed to be predominantly vegetated with common reed, sweet flag, and softrush.
Soils observed in Wetland CC were very dark gray in color (10 YR 4/1), with light brown and light gray models, and were clayey in texture.
Indicators of wetland hydrology observed in wetland area BB include surface water and inundation, saturated soils, water marks, and water stained leaves.
Wetland DO Wetland DO was observed to be a small isolated depression located along the western portion of the project site, adjacent to the Delaware River shoreline. The area was observed to be predominantly vegetated with common reed, sweet flag (Acorus calamus), and softrush. Soils observed in Wetland DO were very dark gray in color (10 YR 4/1), with light brown and light gray models, and were clayey in texture. Indicators of wetland hydrology observed in wetland area DD include surface water and inundation, saturated soils, water marks, and water stained leaves.
- 5. CL ASSIFICATION OF WETLANDS BY RESOURCE VALUE Most of the wetlands observed at the Salem and Hope Creek Site have been created as a result of the construction and development of the facility, or as a result of ongoing facility operations. Delineated wetlands include:
open water and emergent areas located within permitted dredge spoil and desilting disposal facilities routinely disturbed through ongoing authorized facility operations; linear drainage ditches that convey runoff from surrounding developed areas (i.e.,
facilities, roads, parking lots); and emergent areas predominantly vegetated with invasive species (common reed) that exist on historic dredge spoil areas.
A summary of wetland classifications by resource value is provided below.
The areas delineated as 0, E, F, and S all exist in the active dredge spoil and desilting disposal facility in the northern portion of the Site. This facility, permitted as part of Permit #74-014 issued during construction of the site authorizes PSEG to dispose of dredged materials and materials generated from desilting operations during routine facility maintenance efforts. These wetlands are predominantly vegetated with common reed, or are open water areas surrounded by dense monotypic stands of common reed.
These areas and the lands adjacent to these areas have been subject to permitted filling and dredge spoil and desilting disposal for over 30 years. They are routinely disturbed through authorized facility operations, possess limited value as wetlands in comparison to surrounding undisturbed areas, and exist as ordinary wetlands not subject to regulated transition areas.
The areas delineated as G, H, I, J, K, L, N, 0, 01, P, Q, R, T, U, V, W, and portions of 01 exist as narrow stormwater drainage ditches constructed over the course of the development and expansion of the facility. These areas generally are vegetated with common reed, and convey runoff from surrounding roads, parking lots, and other impervious or developed areas.
These areas provide limited value as wetlands or waterbodies, and generally have no buffer other than immediately adjacent impervious surfaces and developed areas. These areas also exist as ordinary wetlands and/or waters not subject to regulated transition areas.
The areas delineated as X, Y, Z, AA, ec, and DO, include small isolated emergent wetlands located within close proximity of existing access roads and other developed facility areas. These areas range in size from 0.02 acres to 0.08 acres (approximately 871 to 3,684 square feet in size), are isolated, and generally are the result of man-made activities including authorized filling, earth disturbances, and adjacent development activities. These areas also exist as ordinary wetlands not subjected to regulated to transition areas.
Wetlands A 1, B1, F1, G1, H 1, and BB are disturbed wetland areas predominantly vegetated with common reed.
These areas generally are located within filled or otherwise disturbed areas of the site, and other areas traversed by commonly used access roads. Due to the disturbed nature of these wetlands and the limited functions and values they provide, combined with the significantly disturbed nature of the immediately surrounding areas, these wetlands function as ordinary wetlands not subject to regulated transition areas.
Wetlands 11 and 01 (including 01a, 01b, D1c, and 01d) are large emergent wetlands predominantly vegetated with common reed. These wetland areas are located in an undeveloped portion of the facility and continue beyond the property boundary as expansive freshwater and tidal wetlands. While mapped as bald eagle foraging habitat by the iMAP Landscape Project, the overall quality of these areas has been degraded as a result of the predominant nature of common reed. In addition, the habitats beyond the property boundaries become much improved, as the wetlands transition from common reed dominated areas to tidal wetlands predominantly vegetated with smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) and other benefictal species.
Based on iMAP data, Wetlands 11 and 01 make up approximately 45 acres of the over 93,000 acres of bald eagle (Haliaeetus /eucocepha/us) foraging habitat in the Delaware Bay Landscape Region (http://njgin.state.nj.us/dep/OEPjMapNJDEP/viewer.htm).
Based on the disturbed nature of these wetlands and the limited functions and values provided, combined with the existence of over 93,000 acres of bald eagle foraging habitat in the region, a resource value of exceptional value wetland is not appropriate, making these areas of intermediate value. The NJDEP also has identified species such as osprey (Pandion haliaetus) and northern harrier (Circus cyaneus) as occurring within the general vicinity of the Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations.
However, the disturbed nature of the site does not offer special habitats for rare species or unique habitats that support listed species.
- 6. SUMM ARY AKRF has performed jurisdictional wetland delineation activities at the Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations, Salem County, New Jersey. Wetland delineation activities were performed by AKRF, Inc. environmental scientists in the Spring 2008 (March 12 and 13,2008) and Spring of 2009 (April 9, 10, 16, 17,28 and May 8. Field activities were performed in accordance with the guidelines presented in the Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands (1989 Manual) and the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (1987 Manual) and 2008 Supplement, both of which follow a three parameter analysis of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and hydrology for wetland determinations. All wetland communities described herein were delineated in the field and surveyed using Trimble GPS technologies.
Wetlands identified and delineated as part of this overall effort ranged from large palustrine emergent and open water complexes to small isolated emergent areas to linear drainage ditches conveying runoff from the facility.
In total, approximately 75 acres of the 734 acre facility site were delineated as wetland or Waters of the State.
This includes approXimately 51.3 acres of predominantly emergent wetlands, 19.4 acres of emergent and open water complexes, and approximately 5.0 acres of drainage ditches and similar linear features.
Throughout much of the site, upland areas bordering the delineated wetland areas share similar vegetation as the wetland areas, but differ in soil and hydrologic characteristics. The wetland soils were consistently lower chroma or were hydric soils that were saturated at or near the ground surface. In most cases, groundwater could be observed within 6 inches of the ground surface when soil borings were performed. In the upland areas low chroma or hydric soils were not observed and saturated soils were not noted within 12 inches or greater from the ground surface. Based on the results of the field efforts, it was observed that the dominant vegetative communities for both wetland and upland areas were very similar and in some cases indistinguishable. In these disturbed areas, it was determined that soils and hydrology were better indicators.

Wetland vegetation identified with the presence of the invasive spe"cies Phragmites austalis, but indicators of wetland hydrology (notable depth to groundwater) and hydric soils were not observed. These characteristics combined with the characteristics of the wetland data point provide additional evidence that the presence of commOn reed is not indicative ofwetiands, but more important is the presence of wetland hydrology.
