ERC Young Ranch Resource <br /> Aquatic Resource Delineation Report <br /> AQUATIC RESOURCE A (0.062 ACRES) <br /> Aquatic Resource A comprises PEM2A habitat situated within a topographic drainage in the southern portion of <br /> the survey area. The topographic drainage generally flows to the west along a roadside ditch. Hydrology within <br /> Aquatic Resource A appears to be supported from stormwater runoff and sheet flow from CCP during precipitation <br /> events and from surrounding upslope areas.At the time of the delineation,surface water was not observed flowing <br /> into Aquatic Resource A. Aquatic Resource A is completely hydrologically isolated (no hydrologic direct surface <br /> connection to other aquatic resources) and surrounded by CCP to the south and uplands to the north, east and <br /> west.Any hydrology within Aquatic Resource A remains within a topographic closed base and evaporates. <br /> Overall,the vegetation community with Aquatic Resource A is dominated by mountain brome (Bromus carinatus), <br /> slender wheatgrass (Elymus trachycaulus), yellow Sweetclover (Melilotus officinalis) and alpine timothy (Phleum <br /> alpinum). The area contains a temporarily flooded water regime. Alpine timothy and slender wheatgrass are the <br /> dominate hydrophytic species (FAC). <br /> Soils within Aquatic Resource A are generally sandy loam textured meeting criteria for hydric soil indicators S5 <br /> (Sandy Redox).At the time of the delineation, primary wetland hydrology indicators B3(Drift Deposits),B6(Surface <br /> Soil Cracks) and B8 (Sparsely Vegetated Concave Surface) were observed within Aquatic Resource A. Additionally, <br /> secondary indicators B10 (Drainage Pattern) and D2 (Geomorphic Position), was observed. Aquatic Resource A <br /> meets the criteria for a wetland based on the presence of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland <br /> hydrology. <br /> Aquatic Resource A comprises a total of 0.062 acres within the survey area.

The topographic drainage generally slopes to the north between two mountain ridges. <br /> Hydrology within Aquatic Resource B appears to be supported by hydrology from a seasonal ground water <br /> December 13, 2021 7 <br />
