PMY <br /> excavated around the lake in areas with hydrophytic vegetation to confirm the presence of hydric soils and <br /> hydrology. <br /> 3.4.2.4 Unnamed Pond 1 Wetlands <br /> Wetland 10 <br /> WL-10 included PSS wetlands around Unnamed Pond I (Figure 2b; Appendix A, Photo 13). WL-10 contained <br /> an overstory of Russian olive and an understory of narrowleaf cattail.WL-10 was delineated as a wetland based <br /> on similar vegetation and hydrologic conditions as noted at SP-I completed in WL-9 around Thunderbird Lake <br /> and reference pits were excavated throughout to confirm hydric soils (see Section 3.4.2.3). <br /> 3.4.2.5 Isolated Wetlands <br /> Wetland I I <br /> WL-I I was an isolated, PEM wetland located in the northeastern portion of the study area(Figure 2a;Appendix <br /> A, Photo 14). WL-I I was dominated by common threesquare and a reference pit was excavated to confirm <br /> the presence of hydric soils and hydrology.WL-I I was delineated as a wetland based on similar vegetation and <br /> hydrologic conditions as noted at SP-I completed in WL-9 around Thunderbird Lake and reference pits were <br /> excavated throughout to confirm hydric soils (see Section 3.4.2.3). <br /> Wetland 12 <br /> WL-12 was an isolated, PEM wetland located north of Thunderbird Lake (Figure 2b; Appendix A, Photo 15). <br /> WL-12 was dominated by narrowleaf cattail and a reference pit was excavated to confirm the presence of <br /> hydric soils and hydrology. WL-12 was delineated as a wetland based on similar vegetation and hydrologic <br /> conditions as noted at SP-I completed in WL-9 around Thunderbird Lake and reference pits were excavated <br /> throughout to confirm hydric soils (see Section 3.4.2.3). <br /> 3.5 Noxious Weeds <br /> Weeds listed on the CDA Noxious Weed List were observed in the study area and the weeds present within <br /> the study area were typical of those located along Colorado's Front Range (CDA, 2020). No List-A noxious <br /> weed species were noted. Noxious weeds noted in the study area included: cheatgrass, field bindweed, diffuse <br /> knapweed, spotted knapweed (Centourea stoebe), Canada thistle, common teasel (Dipsocus fullonum), saltcedar, <br /> and Russian olive. These weeds were scattered throughout the study area and were not mapped. <br /> Biological Resources Report <br /> Thunderbird Property <br /> Pueblo County, Colorado Page I I <br />
