The boundary of the study <br /> area was assumed to be the fence line so these wetlands were not mapped and are excluded from Table 2. <br /> Both of these wetlands could be estimated using aerial photography. <br /> Table 2 Summary of WUS and Wetlands in the Study Area <br /> Latitude and Cowardian <br /> Longitude' Classification' Acres <br /> Open Waters <br /> South Platte River 40.092863°,° Riverine 3.40 <br /> -104.820961 <br /> Lupton Bottom Ditch 40.092650°, Riverine 0.21 <br /> -104.826395° <br /> Wetlands WL <br /> WL-1 40.092779°, PEM/PSS 0.39 <br /> -104.821426' <br /> WL 2 40.093351°, PEM 0.03 <br /> -104.822531° <br /> WL-3 40.091961°, PEM/PSS 0.04 <br /> -104.8220500 <br /> WL-4 40.091 142°, PEM 0.02 <br /> -104.822187' <br /> WL-5 40.092749°, PEM 0.21 <br /> -104.826297' <br /> WL-6 40.091338°, PEM 3.30 <br /> -104.831044' <br /> WL-7 40.0944720, PEM 0.64 <br /> -104.829736° <br /> lApproximate center point of wetland in World Geodetic System of 1984(WGS84)Decimal Degrees <br /> z Cowardin,et al., 1979,PEM=Palustrine Emergent <br /> With the assumption of avoidance of open waters,wetlands,and riparian areas, the project is not likely to have <br /> impacts on these resources. <br /> Noxious Weeds <br /> Numerous noxious weeds were identified throughout the study area and are described in Table 4. The <br /> Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) Noxious Weed Act of 2003 (CRS 35-5-101; CRS 35-5.5-101; <br /> Executive Order (EO) D-006-99), defines and prioritizes management objectives for state-designated noxious <br /> weeds and land owners are required to have a plan to manage noxious weeds. The Colorado Department of <br /> Agriculture has management goals for noxious weeds located in different areas and some of the weeds noted <br /> in the study area are specified for eradication in Weld County. Because of the species and number of species <br /> present in the study area, Pinyon recommends an integrated noxious weed management plan to manage weeds <br /> before and during project activities. Pinyon can provide this service. <br /> Informal Wetland Delineation and Biological Resources Report <br /> Weld County Gravel Pit Project <br /> November 16, 2017 7 <br />
