Alk ERC Young Ranch Resource <br /> Aquatic Resource Delineation Report <br /> Resource C is completely hydrologically isolated (no hydrologic direct surface connection to other aquatic <br /> resources) and bounded by CCP to the west and uplands to the north, east and south. <br /> Overall, the vegetation community surrounding Aquatic Resource C is dominated by wood's rose (Rosa woodsii), <br /> Rocky Mountain maple(Ater glabrum) and Douglas fir(Pseudotsuga menziesii).The vegetation community within <br /> Aquatic Resource C is comprised of hydrophytic species including roundleaf monkeyflower (Mimulus glabratus), <br /> swordleaf sedge (Juncus ensifolius) and American alpine speedwell (Veronica wormskjoldii). <br /> The topographic drainage associated with Aquatic Resource C may experience overland flow from CCP and <br /> surrounding sloped uplands, but a channel with a bed and bank or other ordinary high-mark is not present. <br /> Soils within Aquatic Resource C are a sandy loam texture meeting criteria for hydric soil indicators S5(Sandy redox). <br /> At the time of the delineation, primary wetland hydrology indicators Al (Surface Water) and A3 (Saturation)were <br /> observed within Aquatic Resource C. Additionally, secondary indicator D2 (Geomorphic Position), was observed. <br /> Aquatic Resource C meets the criteria for a wetland based on the presence of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, <br /> and wetland hydrology. <br /> Aquatic Resource C comprises a total of 0.010 acres within the survey area.

Three stormwater drainages which serve as <br /> stormwater catchment basins exist on the northern and eastern portions of the survey area and are located <br /> directly off of Central City Parkway. These basins collect runoff from adjacent uplands and Central City Parkway <br /> storm events. Each basin is lined with large boulder rip-rap(>24" in size).Non-wetland, upland characteristics were <br /> observed in each stormwater basin. Topography across the survey area is steep with rocky slopes throughout. <br /> Uplands within the survey area are predominately characterized by the Central Rocky Mountain Dry Lower <br /> Montane-Foothill Forest Vegetation Community and Southern Rocky Mountain Montane Shrubland (NatureServe <br /> December 13, 2021 9 <br />
