Overview <br /> On the basis of wetland vegetation, soils, and hydrology, WestWater identified 9.70 acres of <br /> WOUS, including fringe and open water(Appendix A, Figure 2). Wetland A includes 0.31 acre <br /> of fringe and 8.27 acres of open water. Wetland B includes 1.12 acres of combined open water <br /> and fringe vegetation. <br /> Data collected at the wetland/upland boundaries were recorded on USACE Arid West Region <br /> wetland determination forms which are available in Appendix E. Individual WOUS acreages are <br /> found in Table 5. <br /> Table 5.Aquatic Resources within the Survey Area <br /> Class of Delineated <br /> Site;Name Aquatic WOUS Cowardin Class Comments <br /> Resource acres <br /> Wetland A <br /> Excavated Main Emergent Dugout wetland <br /> Lake and Fringe 0.31 PUBFx created post gravel <br /> Connected Wetland excavation <br /> West Channel <br /> Wetland A <br /> Excavated Main Open water in <br /> Lake and Open Water 8.27 Open Water hydraulic connection <br /> Connected with groundwater and <br /> West Channel Colorado River <br /> Wetland B Open Water Dugout saline wetland <br /> Excavated and 1.12 Open Water and created post gravel <br /> South Saline Fringe PUBFx excavation <br /> Wetland <br /> Total WOUS Surface Area 9.70 <br /> acres <br /> Site wetlands include palustrine fringe wetlands that receive hydrology from surface water in <br /> hydraulic connection with groundwater and the Colorado River.
