beginning to crack from the lack of
support and apparently because of
the saturation.

The Richard Wizar Cum is
located west of Cornwall, visible
from Rl 322. The large wetland
occupies what had been historical
ly a too wet area to crop or pasture
affectively.
Surprisingly, even though the
land was less than useful for crop
ping or pasturing, the soils were
not defined as wetlands.
Basically, the shallow water
wetlands was created by shallow
excavation and creating a berm,
more than a dam. A stream flow

block stream flow, nor appear to
have a significant affect on raising
the stream temperature (thermal
pollution).
Along very recently con
structed, the wetland was already
filled with waterfowl.
Work to establish a cover crop
on the berm and finish details is to
occur this year.
Aesthetically, the wetland can
be expected to add to the attraction
of the farm, which operates a land
scaping nursery, and also provide a
source for raising aquatic plants
