slope. Wetland C has a ±35° downhill slope, starting at approximately 6,350 ft. AMSL, at the point <br />of seepage discharge, flowing down to approximately 6,325 ft. AMSL where it water flow and soil <br />saturation abruptly ends. Pooled areas of inundation are limited in this wetland to very small <br />microtopographic gradients and "dams" caused by exposed tree roots. The center channel of seepage <br />flow is sparsely vegetated. <br />This wetland is also best described as PSS 1F, Type 6 Shrub Swamp wetland. Vegetation in <br />Wetland C includes narrow -leaf cottonwood, gray alder, red -osier dogwood, serviceberry, sandbar <br />willow, New England aster, spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe), Canada goldenrod, field horsetail, <br />and shore buttercup. Surrounding uplands contain the same suite of species as Wetland B, with both <br />upland areas being more mesic than the majority of uplands throughout the project site, which are <br />xeric and heavily dominated by gambel oak. The locations for both wetland and upland vegetation <br />plots are depicted in Figure 9. <br />Soils are similarly clay -textured and gleyed (3/10Y) with redoximorphic features, meeting the Redox <br />Dark Surface qualifier. The locations of the wetland and corresponding upland soil borings for <br />Wetland C are depicted on Figure 9. <br />11 <br />
