ORAM Forms—102.5 Acres, Modified Record Fire and Zero Range Project Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center, Windham Township, Portage County, Ohio

Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Ohio Rapid Assessment Method for wetlands (ORAM v.5) forms were completed for all of the wetlands on the site. Wetlands are given a numeric Category of 1, 2, or 3, with Category 3 being the highest quality wetlands. The table below provides a summary of the ORAM scores and categories for the 102.5-acre site in Windham Township.

Comments, Narrative Discussion, Justification of Category Changes:

Final Score: 31.5 Category: 1 or 2 gray zone (assumed 2)

Scoring Boundary Worksheet INSTRUCTIONS: The initial step in completing the ORAM is to identify the “scoring boundaries” of the wetland

# Steps in properly establishing scoring boundaries Done? Not Applicable

Step 1 Identify the wetland area of interest. This may be the site of a proposed impact, a reference site, conservation site, etc. x

Step 2 Identify the locations where there is physical evidence that hydrology changes rapidly. x

Step 3 Delineate the boundary of the wetland to be rated such that all areas of interest that are contiguous to and within the areas where the hydrology does not change significantly,

x

Step 4 Determine if artificial boundaries are present. These should not be used to establish scoring boundaries. x

Step 5 The Rater may enlarge the minimum scoring boundaries to score together wetlands that could be scored separately. x

Step 6 Consult ORAM Manual Section 5.0 for how to establish scoring boundaries for wetlands that form a patchwork on the landscape. x

Wetland Categorization Worksheet Choices Check One Categorization Evaluation Result of ORAMDid you answer “Yes” to any of the following questions: Narrative Rating Nos. 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8a, 9d, 10

YES Wetland is categorized as a Category 3 wetland

NO Is quantitative rating score less than the Category 2 scoring threshold (excluding gray zone)? If yes, re-evaluate category of wetland to determine if it has been over-categorized.

Did you answer “Yes” to any of the following questions: Narrative Rating Nos. 1, 8b, 9b, 9e, 11

YES Wetland should be evaluated for possible Category 3 status

NO Evaluate the wetland using the 1) narrative criteria and 2) the quantitative rating score. If it is determined to be a Cat 3 using either of these, it should be categorized as a Cat 3 wetland.

Did you answer “Yes” to Narrative Rating No. 5


NO Is quantitative score greater than the Category 2 scoring threshold (including any gray zone)? If yes, re-evaluate the category to determine if it has been under-categorized by the ORAM.

Does the quantitative score fall within the scoring range of a Category 1, 2, or 3 wetland?

YES Wetland is assigned to the appropriate category based on the scoring range

NO If the score of the wetland is located within the scoring range for a particular category, the wetland should be assigned to that category.

Does the quantitative score fall within the “gray zone” for Cat 1 or 2 or Cat 2 or 3 wetlands?

YES Wetland is assigned to the higher of the two categories

NO Rater has the option assigning a category based on the results of a non-rapid wetland assessment method.

Does the wetland otherwise exhibit moderate OR superior hydrologic OR habitat, OR recreational functions AND the wetland was not categorized as a Cat 2 or a Cat 3 wetland?

YES Wetland was under-categorized by this method. Provide a written justification for recategorization.

NO Wetland is assigned to category as determined by ORAM.

A wetland may be undercategorized using this method. A written justification with supporting reasons or information for this determination should be provided on Background Information Form.
