Remarks:
Wetland WA and WB are floodplain wetlands adjacent to Leith Creek and Laurel Hill Church Road. Climatic and hydrologic conditions
are not typical for this time of year and have been influenced by a hurricane and above -average precipitation for the two months
prior to the delineation (Nov 6.4 inches and Dec 6.9 inches). The average rainfall for Dec over the past three years has been 4.1
inches.
