MonitoringLocationDescriptionText Numerous permanent and intermittent palustrine wetlands are distributed throughout the Park and have been mapped and described in a natural resource evaluation. One of these wetlands, a complex of palustrine forested, palustrine scrubshrub, palustrine emergent and palustrine open water, has been identified as an important site for monitoring, and may be representative of the water quality status of wetlands within the park. This wetland receives runoff from a local road and parking area as well as inputs from adjacent residential development. Preliminary plans are also under consideration for placement of the park¿s new septic system leach field adjacent to this wetland complex.Note: GPS coordinates taken from parking lot. Lat/lon coordinates adjusted to put point east of Nod Hill Road.
