TiRc <br /> 30 acres (1 percent) are classified as developed open space; developed low intensity; and <br /> developed medium intensity (TRC 2023). <br /> Based on a review of current and historic aerial photography, the Study Area and adjacent <br /> properties have historically been used for fossil fuel extraction (Google Earth Pro 2023). <br /> According to Rextag and Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) data, 81 <br /> unique pipeline segments are mapped within the Study Area totaling approximately 34.9 miles of <br /> documented pipeline. There are 11 segments of crude oil pipeline totaling approximately 8 miles, <br /> 69 segments of natural gas pipeline totaling 23.5 miles, and 1 segment of miscellaneous oil <br /> pipeline totaling approximately 3.4 miles. All operational segments are classified as gathering <br /> pipelines (TRC 2023). <br /> 4.3 Soils <br /> The National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils defines hydric soils as"a soil that formed under <br /> conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the growing season to develop <br /> anaerobic conditions in the upper part." The major and minor components of a soil map unit are <br /> classified as to how likely they are to be hydric and are rated on a range from hydric to nonhydric. <br /> According to the NRCS Soil Survey for Weld County, there are three mapped soil series present <br /> within the Study Area (Figure 2 (Appendix A)). All soil map units within the Study Area are <br /> classified with a hydric rating of zero (0). <br /> Table 2.

Based on current and <br /> historic imagery the wetlands may be associated with current and/or historic impoundments used <br /> for cattle operations (Google Earth Pro 2023).
