RE: 

Wetland Delineation, 1687 Rosedale, 

West Bloomfield, Michigan 

Dear Mr. Rosemeyer: 

Brooks Williamson and Associates, 

Inc. (BWA), 

in cooperation with PEA Group 

(PEA), has completed a wetland delineation on 1687 Rosedale and the parce! to the 

north; Parcel Nos, 18-03-104-14 and 18-03-104-025. 

The purpose of this work was 

to determine the location of wetlands on the property that are subject to Part 303, 

Wetland 

Protection 

(Part 

303), 

of 

the 

Natural 

Resources 

and 

Environmental 

Protection 

Act (NREPA), 

1994 

PA 451, 

as amended. 

The 

property was 

also 

inspected 

for additional 

regulated 

natural 

resources 

including 

lakes, 

ponds 

or 

streams that may be s 

ct 

to Part 301, k

and Streams (Part 307), of 

NREPA, and/or similar natural rescurce ordinances of West Bloomfield Township.

Is a rare and imperiled wetland. 

A single wetland, Wetland A (flags A1 to A13), was identified mainly within the northerly 

property with open water along the shoreline 

of the southerly parcel (1867).

Watland A is a forested wetland with a substantial understory growth and occupies 

the majority of the north parcel. Predominant vegetation is silver maple, cottonwood, 

American elm are 

in the tree stratum with common buckthorn, silky dogwood, lake 

sedge, and tussock sedge 

in the shrub and understory levels, 

Soils are mainly 

organic 

in nature and extend below 21 

inches. These soils are saturated 

at the 

surface with ponding anticipated 

in the winter and spring months as suggested by 

water-stained leaves and water marks on some trunks. 

The remainder of the land within the properly boun 

fied as upland. The 

majority of the site is maintained lawn with a residence 

present. 

Edge areas near the 

wetland show a transition to upland in the vegetation. The shrub and ground layer 

communities of vegetation are dominated by plants that are typically (95% of the 

time) considered upland. These include honeysuckle, black walnut, Virginia creeper, 

and poison ivy. 

Q 

Wetland Regulation by the State of Michivan 

In Michigan, wetlands are regulated by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great 

Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) under Part 303 

if the wetland fits the criteria listed in the 

wetland definition and methodology section of this report.

Rosemever, 1687 Rosedale Road, 

West Bloomfield Township 

Under Part 301 an inland lake or stream means either of the following: 

. 

(i) An artificial or natural lake, pond, or impoundment that is a water of the United 

States as that term is used in section 502(7) of 

the federal water pollution control 

act, 33 USC 1362. 

(ily A natural or artificial fake, pond, or impoundment; 

a river, stream, or creek 

which may or may not be serving as a drain as defined by the drain code of 

1956, 1956 PA 40, MCL 280.1 

to 280.630; or any other body of water that has 

definite banks, 

a bed, and visible evidence 

of 

a continued flow or continued 

occurrence of water, including the St. Mary's, St. Clair, and Detroit Rivers, 

The August 16, 2022, 

site inspection revealed both parcels are directly adjacent to 

canals connected to Cass Lake. Cass Lake is a natural inland lake in excess of 5 acres 

in size. Therafore, both the lake and canals are 

subject to regulation under Part 301. 

Regulation by West Bloomfield Township 

West Bloomfield Township has 

a wetland ordinance. 

The regulatory criteria 

for 

wetlands for the Township are similar to the Stale of Michigan except the Township 

regulates all wellands with no size 

limitation. In our opinion, Wetland A is regulated 

due to the fact that 

it 

is contiguous to Cass Lake. Permits are required for work 

within the wetland area. 

The Township also requires a Natural Features Setback (NFS) of 25-est adjacent to 

any regulated wetland. Permits/approvals are required for any activities within the 

NFS. 

Confirmation by Regulatory Agencies 

Numerous 

natural environmental 

factors and human 

induced changes may cause 

changes in the extent of wetland on a parcel over a period of time. The aquatic natural 

resources identified on the subject property represent what we believe the EGLE and 

the Township would consider to be wetland given the condition of the site at the time of 

inspection and recent reguiatory policies and atiifudes. 

in BWA’s and PEA's opinion, any regulated activities conducted within Wetland A will 

require a permit from the EGLE and the Township. Please note that EGLE and the

Rosemevyer, 1687 Rosedale Road, 

West Bloomfield Township 

We hope this provides better insight into the wetland issuss and limitations associates 

with your property. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call our 

office. 

Sincerely, 

Brooks B Williamson
