ERC Young Ranch Resource <br /> Aquatic Resource Delineation Report <br /> lichen (Stereocaulon hoffm), cup lichen (Cladonia P. Browne),tortula moss (Tortula Hedw.), and racomitrium moss <br /> (Racomitrium canescens). Generally, these areas within the survey area are bare of any woody plants, but some <br /> shrubs and trees were present and consisted of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), ponderosa pine, and pinion pine. <br /> Aquatic resource habitats within the survey area are characterized by North American Great Plains Forest and <br /> Woodland Flooded and Swamp forest (Faber-Langendoen et al. 2015). This association occurs on landscape <br /> positions that receive more water than the surrounding landscape, i.e.,in ravines or canyons, near rivers and lakes, <br /> and on mesic, typically north-facing slopes. Northward, where the woodlands approach the boreal forests, trees <br /> are more common and this type is more widespread on the landscape. Stands occur on a variety of soils, though <br /> fine-textured soils are more common. Fire, drought, and grazing are important drivers of the system. <br /> 4.2 AQUATIC RESOURCES <br /> Delineated aquatic resources were classified according to physical and biological characteristics using the <br /> Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States(Cowardin Classification System)(Cowardin <br /> et al. 1979). Within the survey area,wetland habitat types were classified based on field evaluation.The wetland <br /> habitat within the survey area was classified using the Cowardin Classification System and is summarized in Table <br /> 1. <br /> Table 1.
