CONSERVATION AREA SURVEY
SHELBORNE AND 116Th STREET
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 J. F. New and Associates, Inc. was retained by Pulte Holmes of Indiana for the purpose of
documenting Primary and Secondary Conservation Areas on an approximately 120.0± acre parcel
located on the west side of Shelborne Rd., the north side of 116th Street and the south side of 121'
Street within Section 31, Township 18 North, Range 3 East, City of Carmel, Clay Township,
Hamilton County, Indiana(Figure 1).
1.2 Primary and Secondary Conservation Areas are defined within Chapter 7 of the Carmel/Clay
Township Zoning Ordinances. The ordinance establishes "Standard Open Space Requirements"
(SOSR) for qualifying subdivisions. These SOSR's must set aside areas that are accessible to all
residences within the development. Furthermore,the ordinance mandates that"Primary Conservation
Areas" including public wellheads, 100 year flood plains, wetlands greater than 0.25 acres,
woodlands, the White River Corridor, historic structures, high voltage electrical transmission lines,
and pipeline easements be given first priority for open space protection. "Secondary Conservation
Areas"should be"considered whenever possible"and they include:floodway fringes,wooded creek
corridors, hedgerows, groups of trees, and single trees over 18 inches in diameter at breast height
(DBH). This report documents the primary and secondary conservation areas on the subject parcel
(Figure 5 and 6). The field work was completed by a botanist of J.F.New&Associates, Inc. (JFNA)
on August 16& 17, 2000.
2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Prior to conducting the on-site investigation portion of the survey, several sources of information
were examined in the process of determining primary and secondary conservation areas.
2.1 The National Wetland Inventory(NWI)Map(Figures 2 and 3)was reviewed. Although this map
is not accepted by the Corps of Engineers for wetland determinations, it assists in giving a
preliminary determination of any wetlands present on the site. It was noted that one wetland system,
a riverine intermittent streambed seasonally flooded (R4SBC) was identified on this map (Long
Branch Creek).
2.2 The NRCS Soil Survey for Hamilton County(Figure 4)was examined to determine hydric versus
non-hydric soil units on the site. The soil survey identified six soil series on the site: Brookston silty
clay loam(Br), Crosby silt loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes(CrA), Miami silt loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes,
eroded (MmB2), Miami silt loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes, eroded (MmC2), Miami clay loam, 6 to
12 percent slopes, eroded(MoC3), and Shoals silt loam(Sh). According to Hydric Soils of Indiana
by County, the Brookston soil series is dominated by hydric components, while the Crosby, Miami,
and Shoals soil series contains hydric components. This map was also used as an aerial photograph

Hamilton County,Indiana
showing historical site conditions (those previous to 1972).
2.3 Aerial photography (Figure 5) was examined to show present site conditions. The date of
photography was spring 1997, having a scale of 1 inch equals 400 ft.
2.4 Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM),
Community-Panel Number 180081 0006 C, Effective Date: May 19, 1981. The FIRM map and
available flood data(Report by Cripe Engineering, Inc., December 1999)was reviewed for 100 yr.
floodway data including the floodway and floodway fringe pertaining to the project site.
2.5 Historical artifact data.Portions ofthe Hamilton County Interim Report(map for Clay Township,
#55001-045), as amended (March 1992, Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana)was reviewed
for any listed structures and/or artifacts that may be within the property boundary.
3.0 SITE INVESTIGATION & DESCRIPTION
3.1 Investigation Methodology
3.1.1 The determination of wetlands and other "Waters of the U.S." on the site was based on the
methodology described in the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual(Technical Report
Y-87-1) as required by current Corps of Engineers policy.
3.1.2 The determination of woodland types was based on the definition set forth in the zoning
ordinance by the City of Carmel which states:
Woodland,Mature-An area of plant material covering 1/2 acre,or more,and consisting of thirty(30)
percent or more canopy trees having a sixteen(16)inch or greater caliper, or any grove consisting
of 7 or more trees having eighteen(18) inch or greater caliper.
Woodland, Young-An area of plant material covering 1/2 acre,or more, and consisting of thirty(30)
percent or more canopy trees having a eight(8)inch or greater caliper, or any grove consisting of 7
or more trees having ten (10) inch or greater caliper.
Woodland, Scrub-An area of plant material covering 'A acre, or more, and consisting of thirty(70)
percent or more canopy trees having a two and one-half(2 1/2) inch or greater caliper, or any grove
consisting of 15 or more trees having four(4)inch or greater caliper.
3.1.3 Prior to the field work, background information was reviewed to establish the probability and
J.F.New and Associates,Inc. Page 3
JFNA#00-08-12
Shelbome Road and 116th Street August 18,2000
Hamilton County,Indiana
approximate location of wetlands,woodland types, etc., on the site. Next, a general reconnaissance
of the project area was made to determine site conditions. The site was then walked with the specific
intent of determining wetland boundaries,woodland boundaries, etc. Areas that appeared to exhibit
wetland characteristics were observed for a dominance of wetland vegetation, hydric soil indicators
and evidence of hydrology. Woodland areas were determined by measuring the DBH of several trees
within each woodland community to determine classification type.
3.1.4 Site Photographs. Photographs of the site are located in Appendix A. These photographs are
the visual documentation of site conditions at the time of inspection. The photographs are intended
to provide representative visual samples of any wetlands or other special features found on the site
inspected.
3.1.5 Primary and Secondary Conservation Boundaries. All areas were documented on an aerial
photograph at the time of the on-site investigation. Figure 6 displays the approximate boundaries of
each of the conservation areas. No survey of the wetland location including other "waters of the
U.S.",woodland communities,etc.,was conducted for this report.Boundary areas for the Floodway
and Floodway Fringe was taken from data collaborated by Paul I. Cripe, Inc.
3.2 General Site Conditions
A majority of the site consists of agricultural land, made up of soy bean crop and pastureland(Figure
5 and 6). Other portions within the parcel included primary conservation areas such as floodway,
100 yr. flood plain, wetland, woodlands, steep slopes and high voltage electrical transmission lines.
Secondary conservation areas included floodway fringe, wooded creek corridor, hedgerow, groups
of trees, and single trees over 18". Each of these areas is discussed in detail below.
3.3 Primary Conservation Area Descriptions
3.3.1 Groundwater resources. No public wellheads were observed during the site visit.
3.3.2 100 year Floodplain(Floodway and Floodway Fringe). Long Branch Creek runs east to west
across the proposed development,bisecting the upper half of the property. As the creek crosses the
western property boundary it takes a turn due south and runs along the property line but not within
the proposed development.
The published Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), Community-Panel Number 180081 0006 C,
Effective Date:May 19, 1981, shows a Flood Zone A which extends onto the proposed development
along the western property boundary for the lower two-thirds of the length. This flood zone impacts
13 lots and a proposed detention pond. Maps and information have been taken from the Drainage
Design Report for Parkside Preserve(Report), prepared by Paul I. Cripe, Inc. (Cripe).

The FIRM map appears inaccurate according to updated topography and does not include the portion
of Long Branch Creek which runs east to west across the proposed development. The Report shows
a more accurate floodway and floodway fringe as modeled by Cripe. This new floodway appears to
be a true representation of the Long Branch Floodway through the proposed development.
Based upon the modeling done by Cripe,the Flood Zone shown on the FIRM map could be revised
to exclude the proposed lots. This will require a Letter of Map Revision(LOMR), which is another
permitting process through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Revising the
FIRM map will allow the lots to be built without restrictions or flood insurance.
3.3.3 Federal jurisdictional wetlands. One emergent wetland (0.1±acres)was observed in the west-
central location of the site. The dominant vegetation within this area consisted of reed canary grass
(Phalaris arundinacea, FACW+). Soils within this wetland area exhibited a matrix color of 10YR
4/3 to a depth of 2 inches and a color of 10YR 4/2 from 2 to 16 inches for test pit WA-l.
Hydrological indicators included signs of saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil and/or
inundation by the presence of a dominance of wetland vegetation, low chroma and the local soil
survey indicates that the area served as a drainage area. All three parameters appeared to meet
jurisdictional qualifications to be classified as a wetland.
The upland area immediately adjacent to Wetland A contained herbaceous vegetation such as
Kentucky blue grass(Poapratensis,FAC-)and Queen Anne's lace(Daucus carota, UPL). Test pit
WA-2 color was 10YR 4/3 with few, faint, fine mottles of 10YR 4/2 to a depth of 16 inches. No
hydrological indicators were observed within the pit or surrounding upland area.
3.3.4 The White River Corridor. The White River or any portions of its corridor are not located
within the project site boundary.
3.3.5 Mature Woodlands (3.5± acres). One mature woodland area was located within the site
boundary. This area is located in the woodlot in the east-central portion of the property boundary.
The canopy stratum within this area was dominated by mature hardwood trees such as sugar maple
(Acer saccharum) , American beech (Fagus grandiflora), white oak (Quercus alba), green ash
(Fraxinus caroliniana), shag-bark hickory (Carya ovata), slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), and black
walnut (Juglans nigra). The majority of the tree species within the mature woodland had a DBH
greater than 16 inches,with one green ash tree that had a 40 inch DBH. The"subcanopy"(trees less
than 16 inches DBH) consisted of similar tree species as well as American basswood (Tilia
americana) and black cherry (Prunus serotina). The trees in this community averaged 15 feet in
spacing from one another with an approximate density of 200 stems per acre. The shrub stratum was
dominated by spicebush (Lindera benzoin) and common pawpaw (Asimina triloba) which were
scattered in thick clumps throughout the woodland community. Other shrub type plants observed
J.F.New and Associates,Inc. Page 5
JFNA#00-08-12
Shelborne Road and 116`h Street August 18,2000
Hamilton County,Indiana
included shrub honeysuckle (Lonicera sp.), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), common blackberry
(Rubus allegheniensis)and wild red raspberry(Rubus occidentalis). The forest floor was dominated
by Virginia creeper(Parthenocissus quinquefolia)and clustered black-snakeroot(Saniculagregaria).
Other groundcover type plants included common agrimony (Agrimonia gryposepala), spiderwort
(Tradescantia virginiana), bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis), broad-leaved waterleaf
(Hydrophyllum canadense),stinging nettle(Urtica dioica),tall nettle(U.procera),jack-in-the-pulpit
(Arisaema atrorubens), Virginia wild rye(Elymus virginicus),woodland sedge(Carex blanda) and
sedge (Carex sp., 2 species). Proper identification of sedges requires the presence of perigynium
(nutlets),which were not found on two distinct species,as they may have already been dispersed from
the plants.
According to the Soil Survey for Hamilton County, the soil within the mature woodland consists of
Brookston silty clay loam(Br),which is hydric and Crosby silt loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes(CrA)and
Miami silt loam,6 to 12 percent slopes,eroded(MmC2),which may contain hydric components.The
soil survey also indicates that the area was wooded in 1972.
This area is an atypical mesic/dry woodlot as it contains many trees that have a DBH over 16 inches.
Several large snags (dead standing trees) and decaying trees on the forest floor were observed,
indicating the maturity of the community. Wildlife utilization observed within this area included
white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus, tracks), racoon (Procyon lotor, tracks), squirrel (Order
Rodentia), red-tailed hawk(Buteo jamaicensis, call) and several unidentified birds(calls)as well as
one "small" bird nest within a spicebush. Other types of wildlife observed during the visit included
several species each of the following insects: wasp and bee(Order Hymenoptera), fly and mosquito
(Order Diptera), butterfly (Order Lepidoptera), dragonfly (Order Odonata), and cicadas (Order
Homoptera), as well as spider (Class Arachnida, Order Araneae). An intermittent drain passes
through a portion of this plant community.
3.3.6 Young Woodlands (2.4± acres). One young woodland area was located within the site
boundary. This area surrounds the mature woodland located in the woodlot in the east-central
portion of the property boundary. The canopy stratum within this area was dominated by hardwood
trees similar to the adjacent mature woodland and also included sycamore(Platanus occidentalis),
ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), eastern hop-hornbeam (Ostrya virginiana, FACU-), bitternut
hickory (Carya cordiformis), Ohio buckeye (Aesculus flava), and hackberry(Celtis occidentalis).
The majority of the tree species within the mature woodland had a DBH greater than 8 inches. The
understory (trees less than 8 inches DBH) consisted of similar tree species as well as bladdernut
(Staphylea trifolia). The trees in this community averaged 8 feet in spacing from one another with
an approximate density of 650 stems per acre. The shrub stratum consisted of scattered clumps of
spicebush, common pawpaw, shrub honeysuckle, common blackberry and wild red raspberry.
Groundcover observed in the young woodland included similar species as the mature woodland as
well as smooth yellow violet(Viola pensylvanica),great lobelia(Lobelia siphilitica), spotted touch-

Hamilton County,Indiana
me-not (Impatiens capensis), and giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida).
According to the Soil Survey for Hamilton County, the soil within the young woodland consists of
the same soils within the adjacent mature woodland. The soil survey also indicates that this area was
wooded in 1972.
This area is a typical mesic woodland having several tree species that area adapted to periodic
saturated soil conditions. It appeared that this young woodland is succeeding into a mature
hardwood forest. Several large sycamore, American elm, and hackberry trees with a DBH greater
than 16" were located within the community, however, the over all percentage of these large trees
was below 30 percent of the entire woodland. Wildlife utilization observed within this area included
similar species as the adjacent mature woodland and would be suitable as foraging, nesting, and
temporary cover for similar species includin , neo-tropical migratory birds, carnivorous mammals,
small rodents, reptiles and amphibians. Potions of intermittent drains pass through this plant
community.
3.3.7 Scrub Woodlands (11.0± acres). Two scrub woodland areas were located within the site
boundary. The first area bisects the soy bean cropland from the young woodland, which is located
in the woodlot in the east-central portion of the property boundary. The canopy stratum within this
area was dominated by young hardwood trees with a DBH under 8 inches, but greater than 2 1/2
inches. The tree species observed included black walnut, hackberry, green ash, slippery elm, silver
maple(Acer saccharinum), box elder(Acer negundo), and Russian olive(Elaeagnus angustifolia).
The majority of the tree species within this scrub woodland averaged only 4 feet in spacing from one
another with an approximate density of 2,700 stems per acre.However,certain sub-areas were sparse
in canopy cover and density. Due to the close proximity of the trees, there was a limited shrub
stratum consisting of clasping dogbane (Apocynum sibiricum), shrub honeysuckle, common
blackberry and wild red raspberry. Groundcover was sparse, but in the sub-areas of open canopy it
consisted of tall goldenrod (Solidago altissima), teasel (Dipsacus sylvestris), reed canary grass
(Phalaris arundinacea),poison ivy(Toxicodendron radicans),grape(Vitis sp.)and brome(Bromus
sp.). This area contained similar wildlife species or indications of there recent presence as observed
in the young woodland and would provide semi-suitable habitat for the foraging,nesting,and roosting
opportunities for the species mentioned for the young woodland. Two separate intermittent drains
pass through this community.
The other scrub woodland area is located adjacent to Long Branch Creek, which is within the 100
year floodplain,including the floodway and the floodway fringe. Typical tree species observed within
this area included hackberry,bitternut hickory,green ash,black walnut,black cherry,white mulberry
(Morus alba), northern red oak(Quercus rubra),black willow(Salix nigra), cottonwood(Populus
deltoides) and gray dogwood (Cornus racemosa). Several large trees including cottonwood, black
willow and northern red oak contained DBH measurements from 12"to 30". Shrubs within this area
J.F.New and Associates,Inc. Page 7
JFNA#00-08-12
Shelborne Road and 116`h Street August 18,2000
Hamilton County,Indiana
consisted of tree saplings of black walnut, bitternut hickory, black willow, cottonwood, gray
dogwood,and white mulberry. The groundcover was dominated by giant ragweed.Other herbaceous
plants consisted of ironweed(Vernonia sp.), Virginia wild rye, Queen Anne's lace(Daucus carota),
smooth yellow violet and grape. The creek itself contained pond weed (Potamogeton sp.). Wildlife
species observed within this area were limited to white-tailed deer(tracks), racoon(tracks), several
unidentified birds(calls), and several insect species. As this area contains water,fish, amphibians and
reptiles would benefit greatly from its resources as well as other wildlife that would utilize the area
for cover, foraging and breeding purposes.
According to the Soil Survey for Hamilton County,the soil within the scrub woodland located within
the woodlot in the east-central portion of the site consists of the same soils that are within the
adjacent mature woodland. The soil survey also indicates that this area was not wooded in 1972. The
soils within the scrub woodland located within the 100 year floodplain include Brookston silty clay
loam (Br), Miami clay loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes, eroded (MoC3), and Shoals silt loam (Sh).
Review of the soil survey photo indicates that the scrub woodland within the 100 year floodplain area
was forested in 1972.
3.3.8 Steep Slopes.The steep slopes were identified by topographic maps and those areas as indicated
on a plan-view aerial supplied by the client. The steep slopes were located within the woodlands,
floodplain, and pasture areas. There were no indications of erosion within the steep slope areas as
roots from trees and herbaceous material kept the soil in tact.
3.3.9 Historical artifact data. The map for Clay Township (#55001-045) does not depict any
outstanding, notable or contributing historical structures within the site boundary.
3.3.10 Pipelines and high voltage transmission lines. Shell Oil Company and Panhandle Eastern
Pipeline easements were not observed during the map investigation and site visit portions of the
survey. An electrical line was located near the farm house road entrance on 116th Street, which
connects to the house and barn.
3.4 Secondary Conservation Areas
3.4.1 FEMA and IDNR identified 100 year Floodway Fringe. Information pertaining to this
Secondary Conservation Area was discussed in the previous section, 4.3.2 100 year Floodplain.
3.4.2 Wooded creek/ditch corridors without FEMA designation. Information pertaining to this
Secondary Conservation Area was discussed in the previous sections, 4.3.6 Young Woodlands and
4.3.7 Scrub Woodlands.

Hamilton County,Indiana
3.4.3 Hedgerows, groups of trees, large individual trees of 18" DBH or greater. Hedgerows were
observed throughout the site and consisted of several tree species such as hackberry, silver maple,
Ohio buckeye, bitternut hickory, slippery elm, green ash, box elder, gray dogwood, white oak
(Quercus alba), white popular (Populus alba) and Kentucky coffee tree (Gymnocladus dioica)
(Figure 6). The DBH of the trees within the hedgerows varied from 1" to 10". Shrubs and
groundcover within the hedgerow areas consisted of shrub honeysuckle, common blackberry, wild
red raspberry, poison ivy, grape, ironweed, giant ragweed, brome, morning glory (Ipomoea sp.),
Canadian thistle (Cirsium arvense), trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), garlic mustard (Alliaria
officinalis), smartweed (Polygonum sp.), and pokeweed (Phytolacca americana). Several
unidentified birds were utilizing the hedgerows at the time of the survey.
Groups oftrees were identified throughout the site and consisted ofblack willow,cottonwood,white
mulberry, white poplar and eastern red cedar(Juniperus virginiana) (Figure 6).
One single tree, white poplar, with a DBH greater than 18 inches was identified in front of the old
farm house (Figure 6).
3.5 Additional Features
Although not listed as either Primary or Secondary Conservation Areas,the following features may
contain significant information for development planning purposes.

criteria in regard to primary and secondary conservation areas.No work should be conducted within
any of the conservation areas prior to proper authorization/permits from the City of Carmel.
Any proposed work within a floodway will require the approval of the IDNR and may also require
approval from IDEM and ACOE. Development within the FIRM Flood Zone A is subject to all local
building codes and will require flood insurance.
In addition, the Army Corps of Engineers has final discretionary authority over all jurisdictional
determinations of"waters of the U.S."including wetlands under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA) in this region.
