Per the results of the Phase I Bog Turtle Habitat Survey conducted by Environmental Consultation Services, Inc. of Pen Argyl, wetlands were located in the following areas:

• Wetland #1 is an emergent depressional wetland functioning primarily as a stormwater basin for both the surrounding urban area and roadways; the wetland is potential bog turtle habitat located in the western portion of the study area within Palmerton.• Wetlands #3 and #4 are emergent and scrub/shrub wetlands adjacent to Mill Creek in the northwestern portion of the study area; both wetlands receive groundwater hydrology from emerging spring seeps located at the base of the surrounding slopes.• Wetland #9 is potential bog turtle habitat located in the northwestern portion of the study area within Aquashicola; the emergent and scrub/shrub wetland is situated along and in-line with an unnamed tributary to Mill Creek.• Wetland #10 is a potential bog turtle habitat located in the western portion of the study area within Aquashicola; the emergent is located in an open field, which eventually drains to Mill Creek.• Wetlands #11, #12, and #13 are potential bog turtle habitat located in the western portion of the study area; hillside seeps provide hydrology to the emergent and scrub/shrub wetlands, whereby the series of wetlands drain into an unnamed intermittent stream, which eventually flows into Mill Creek.• Wetland #14 is potential bog turtle habitat located in the western portion of the study area; a hillside seep provides hydrology to the wetland, which drains to an unnamed intermittent stream, which eventually drains into Mill Creek.• Wetland #16 is an emergent and scrub/shrub wetland located within the floodplain of the Aquashicola Creek in the western portion of the study area; the entirety of the wetland is about 5.57 acres with only 0.27 acres identified as potential bog turtle habitat.• Wetland #30 is located in the eastern portion of the study area within Little Gap; the wetland is a mix of emergent and scrub/shrub vegetation situated at the base of a steep slope, where hydrology is received from emerging hillside seeps and drains via a culvert pipe under the adjacent roadway.
