Overview facing east of Aquatic Resource B, a <br /> topographical depression within the southwestern corner of the topographical depression within the southwest corner of the <br /> survey area.This topographical depression is likely filled with survey area.Broad leaf cattail present with a ruderal upland <br /> irrigation water during the growing season. herbaceous understory. <br /> AQUATIC RESOURCE C(0.012 ACRES) <br /> Aquatic Resources C is a topographical depression within a ditch along the southern boundary of the <br /> survey area. The depression contains a PEM1A wetland habitat.The topographical depression is situated <br /> in a ditch which is located between the survey area agricultural field, and a separate agricultural field to <br /> the south. Both agricultural fields bound Aquatic Resource C to the north and south. The topographical <br /> depression appears to be the lowest spot contained within the ditch and appears hydrology is primarily <br /> supported by surface water run-off as well as irrigation run-off from both surrounding agricultural fields. <br /> A direct surface water connection to other Waters of the U.S.was not observed. <br /> The topographical depression was delineated based on the presence of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric <br /> soils and hydrology. <br /> The vegetation within the topographical depression contains primarily broad leaf cattail and cheatgrass. <br /> The dominate species within the topographical depression consist of hydrophytic species (FAC-FACW). <br /> Soils within the topographical depression are generally sandy gravelly loam in texture, meeting the criteria <br /> for hydric soil indicator F8(Redox Depressions).At the time of the delineation, primary wetland hydrology <br /> indicator C3 (Oxidized Rhizospheres on Living Roots) was observed. Additionally, secondary hydrology <br /> indicators included D2 (Geomorphic Position). <br /> Aquatic Resource C comprises a total of 0.012-acre within the survey area (Appendix A).
