RE: Wetland Peer Review – Norbut Solar Site, Town of Danby, Tompkins County, New York
Delta Project No.: 2021.827.001
Dear Mr. West:
Delta Engineers, Architects, Land Surveyors, & Landscape Architects, DPC (Delta) conducted a
wetland peer review at the Norbut Solar site in the Town of Danby, Tompkins County, New York (Figure
1). The site is approximately 111 acres in size and is composed of one (1) lot (10.-2-21.22) located on Bald
Hill Road in the Town of Danby. Delta conducted this wetland review on December 7, 10, and 15, 2021.
The wetland review was conducted following the methods outlined in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(Corps) Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and the Corps Regional Supplement (2012). The
wetlands were previously delineated by other consultants in 2021.
This report includes a review of the methods, results, which include site ecology, wetlands, and a
summary of our findings.
Methods
Delta conducted a peer review of the wetlands area previously delineated by Norbut Solar wetland
consultant and assessed the rest of the site for potential wetlands on December 7, 10, and 15, 2021. The
boundaries were approximated using the federal criteria for vegetation, soils, and hydrology (Environmental
Laboratory 1987, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2020, NRCS 2018, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
2012).
To support the approximate wetland boundaries, data on the vegetation, the soils, and hydrology were
obtained from sample plots located within the wetland boundaries. Delta sampled 51 plots in and around
the wetland and upland sides of the flagged wetland boundaries. The plot data were recorded on data sheets
that comply with those used in the regional supplement (Corps 2012). Stream profile data (8 plots) was
also collected for the streams that were found, including stream bed width, surface water depth, bank height
and substrate.
Vegetation data were collected in all sample plots. Ocular estimates of the percent areal cover by plant
species for each vegetation layer (tree, shrub, and herbaceous) were recorded. The sample plots varied in
size according to the vegetation layer being sampled. The sizes were: 30-foot radius for the tree layer, 15-
foot radius for the shrub, and 5-foot radius for the herbaceous layer.
The presence of wetland vegetation was determined when more than 50 percent of the dominant species
in a sample plot had an indicator status of obligate (OBL), facultative-wet (FACW), or facultative (FAC).

The dominant species for each layer in a plot were determined by ranking the species in decreasing order
of percent cover and recording those species which, when cumulatively totaled, immediately exceeded 50
percent of the total cover of that layer. Additionally, any plant species that comprised 20 percent or more
of the total cover for each layer was considered to be a dominant species.
Plant species were identified primarily using the Manual of Vascular Plants of Northeastern United
States and Adjacent Canada (Gleason and Cronquist 1991), New Britton and Brown Illustrated Flora
(Gleason 1952), Gray’s Manual of Botany (Fernald 1950). Scientific nomenclature follows the National
Wetland Plant List, Version 3.5. (United States Army Corps of Engineers. 2020), A Checklist of New York
State Plants (Mitchell and Tucker 1997), and Catalogue of the Vascular Plants of New York State (Werier
2017). The indicator status for each plant species was determined using the National Wetland Plant List,
Version 3.5. (United States Army Corps of Engineers. 2020).
Soil and hydrology data were collected in soil pits or soil borer holes to a minimum depth of 18 inches
within each sample plot, unless a restrictive layer was found. Soil characteristics were noted along the soil
profile at the depth specified by the Corps criteria (USDA NRCS 2018). Procedures for identifying hydric
soils as outlined in the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States (USDA NRCS 2018) were also
followed. Soil colors were determined by using the Munsell color chart. Primary and secondary indicators
of hydrology were also noted at each sample plot.
Results
Wetland areas are summarized in the wetland section in Table 1. Full data sheets for wetlands on the
site are included in Appendix A. Photographs of the wetlands on the site are included in Appendix B.
Site Ecology
The site consists of areas of deciduous forest, open field, scrub-shrub, and active agriculture. The open
field area consists of species such as wild carrot (Daucus carota), orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata),
Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis), corn (Zea mays), and red clover (Trifolium repens). The
deciduous forest upland area consists of tree species such as sugar maple (Acer saccharum), shagbark
hickory (Carya ovata), red maple (Acer rubrum), American beech (Fagus grandifolia), red oak (Quercus
rubra), and black cherry (Prunus serotina). The mixed forest upland area consists of species such as white
pine (Pinus strobus) and red maple. The scrub-shrub areas consist of species in the shrub layer such as gray
dogwood (Cornus racemosa) and Morrow’s honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowii). The areas of active
agriculture consist of corn.
Wetlands and Waters
Twelve wetlands and four waters were delineated by Norbut Solar’s wetland consultant. Delta reviewed
the previously delineated and waters and identified areas new wetlands and waters as well as modifications
to the previously delineated wetlands and waters (Figure 1). Wetland determination data sheets are found
in Appendix A and photographs are shown in Appendix B. Approximate wetland locations are shown on
Figure 1. Wetland plot locations are shown on Figure 2.
Delta collected plots in areas that were determined to be upland (UP-1, UP-2, etc.) to demonstrate what
areas had no wetland criteria or had some wetland criteria but did not have all three criteria to fit the federal
definition of a wetland. The provided approximate wetland maps can be used as guidance and for
informational purposes.
