Tier 3 (MP 147 to 203) Wetland Delineation Report

I. INTRODUCTION 

Olsson Associates (Olsson) was retained by the Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) to 

conduct a wetland delineation for the Tier 3 project alignment located between Mile Posts (MP) 147 

and MP 203 of the Springfield Subdivision. The wetland delineation included all project locations 

requiring siding track construction, signal/turnout pad construction, and hydraulic structure 

replacements where waters of the U.S. (Clean Water Act, Section 404) were believed to be present 

and Section 404 permitting was anticipated to be required. 

As part of Tier 3, wetland delineations were conducted between 2010 to 2012 for the following 

locations: 

• Athol Siding (MP 153.56 to MP 155.68), including all turnouts and structures within these 

limits. 

• Elkhart Siding and Track Construction (MP 161.90 to MP 170.45), including all turnouts and 

structures within these limits. 

• Ridgely Siding (MP 180.92 to MP 183.33), including all turnouts and structures within these 

limits. 

• Auburn Siding (MP 197.88 to MP 200.10), including all turnouts and structures within these 

limits. 

• Structures at MP 149.50, 149.90, 152.70, 158.10, 171.10, 177.40, 177.80, 179.08, 180.00, 

180.75, 190.80, 192.10, 196.80, 197.72, and 201.60.

• Turnout Pads at MP 149.85, 150.92, 153.51, and 156.77. 

II. METHODS 

Two major components comprised the wetland delineation, including a preliminary review of readily 

available resources, and a site visit that included a field investigation. 

Review of Existing Resources

Several resources were reviewed as part of the wetland evaluation process. These resources 

included: 

1. USDA-NRCS-NCGC. 2001. Digital Raster Graphic MrSID Mosaic, Logan and Sangamon 

Counties, Illinois. 

2. USDA-FSA-APFO National Aerial Imagery Program (NAIP). 2010. Logan and Sangamon 

Counties, Digital Orthophotos. 

3. USFWS, Illinois DNR, and Illinois Natural History Survey. 1996. National Wetlands Inventory 

in Illinois, 1987, July 19, 2007 edition. 

4. USDA-NRCS. 2010. Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database for Logan and 

Sangamon Counties, Illinois (Digital Soils Data). 

5. USDA-NRCS. 2010. Soil Data Mart. Map Unit Descriptions. Logan and Sangamon Counties, 

Illinois. 

6. USDA-NRCS. 2010. Hydric Soils List for Logan and Sangamon Counties, Illinois - Tabular 

Data Version: 15. 

7. Illinois DNR. 1994. Streams and Shorelines in Illinois. Edition 04/01/2004. 

By evaluating the above resources, Olsson biologists were able to determine areas that had 

probable features to support wetlands, such as areas with blue lines on the topographic maps which 

are indicative of waterways, areas depicted as wetland polygons on the National Wetlands 

Inventory, and areas supporting hydric soils or hydric inclusions as defined by the SSURGO 

database.

Tier 3 (MP 147 to 203) Wetland Delineation Report

Mapping of the above resources was conducted prior to the field investigation and referenced during 

the field investigation. 

Field Investigation

The wetland delineation was conducted according to methodology outlined by the Corps Wetland 

Delineation Manual (1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps Wetland Delineation Manual: 

Midwest Region, Version 2.0 (2010).

Olsson staff visited the site in October 2010, November 2010, December 2010, April 2011, May 

2011, June 2011, April 2012, and July 2012 to conduct the on-site wetland delineation. The 

timeframe for completing the majority of the delineations coincided with the end/beginning of the 

growing season; however, sufficient wetland characteristics were present to determine the wetland 

boundaries. The delineation was conducted by several Olsson biologists traversing the study area 

and walking areas to closely inspect potential wetlands and other waters. Sample points were 

recorded on Wetland Determination Data Forms - Midwest Region (Appendix A), to document the 

presence or absence of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology according to 

guidelines described above. Information on upland areas and non-wetland waterways were 

recorded on data forms or in a field logbook, but are not included in Appendix A. Photographs were 

taken during the site visits to document on-site conditions. Wetland boundaries and the locations of 

sample points, photos, and other features were recorded using handheld Global Positioning System 

with sub-meter accuracy. 

All species observed in each wetland area were recorded to determine the floristic quality using the 

Floristic Quality Assessment (FQA; Taft et al. 1997). Species lists are provided in Appendix B. 

Please note that given the late-autumn and early-spring timeframe that the majority of wetland 

delineations were completed, that some of the vegetation was difficult to identify to species based 

on the absence of floral characteristics. Therefore, the FQA is likely biased high or low for 

numerous wetland areas where complete species lists could not be compiled. 

The study area for each construction site varied depending on the construction type, and below is a 

summary. 

• Siding Tracks and Turnouts - A 100-ft buffer outward and parallel to each side of the 

mainline track, throughout the extent of the proposed construction. 

• Structures - A 100-ft buffer outward and parallel to each structure, and 100-ft in each 

direction from the structure. 

• Turnouts - A 100-ft buffer outward and parallel to each side of the mainline track, and 400-ft 

in each direction from the structure. 

The study area was exceeded in instances when wetlands within the study area extended outside of 

the abovementioned parameters. 

III. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 

The wetland delineation for Tier 3 identified 91 wetland areas totaling approximately 31 acres within 

the study area (see Figures; Appendix C). Table 1 below lists each wetland area identified within 

the study area, the community type according to the Cowardin classification system, size, FQA 

values (also see Appendix B), and figure reference (see Appendix C). Please note that wetland 

delineation maps (Appendix C) are provided for the siding tracks and structure study areas where 

wetlands were observed; however, the maps are not provided for structures where no wetlands were 

identified.
