A ERC Aquatic Resource Pit Project Site Delineation Report February 17,2023 The vegetation within the topographical depression contains narrow leaf willow, broad leaf cattail and smooth brome. The dominate species within the topographical depression consist of hydrophytic species (FAC-FACW). Soils within the topographical depression are generally sandy gravelly loam in texture, meeting the criteria for hydric soil indicator F8(Redox Depressions).At the time of the delineation, primary wetland hydrology indicator C3 (Oxidized Rhizospheres on Living Roots) was observed. Additionally, secondary hydrology indicators included D2 (Geomorphic Position). Aquatic Resource A comprises a total of 0.005-acre within the survey area (Appendix A). Refer to photos 7-8 below for characteristics within Aquatic Resource A. j r. ' Photo 7. OvervieKw�: facing west of Aquatic Resource A, a Photo 8. Overview facing west of Aquatic Resource A, a topographical depression within the southwestern corner ofthe topographical depression within the southwest corner of the survey area. This topographical depression Is likely filled with survey area. Broad leaf cattail present with a ruderal upland irrigation water during the growing season. herbaceous understory. AQUATIC RESOURCE B(0.007 ACRES) Aquatic Resources B is a topographical depression within the southwestern corner of the survey area.The depression contains a PEM1A wetland habitat. Hydrology within the topographical depression appears to be supported by surface water run-off as well as irrigation run-off from the agricultural field during the growing season. A direct surface water connection to other Waters of the U.S. was not observed. The topographical depression was delineated based on the presence of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and hydrology. The vegetation within the topographical depression contains narrow leaf willow, broad leaf cattail,smooth brome and rough cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium). The dominate species within the topographical depression consist of hydrophytic species(FAC-FACW). Soils within the topographical depression are generally sandy gravelly loam in texture, meeting the criteria for hydric soil indicator F8(Redox Depressions).At the time of the delineation, primary wetland hydrology indicator C3 (Oxidized Rhizospheres on Living Roots) was observed. Additionally, secondary hydrology indicators included D2 (Geomorphic Position). Aquatic Resource B comprises a total of 0.007-acre within the survey area (Appendix A).
