Wetland Areas 10, 11, 12, and 13 are associated with the supporting hydrology of the Colorado River, high groundwater, and precipitation. Areas 10, 12, and 13 along the river banks maintained a saturated capillary fringe nearly to the crest of the bank. Area 11, an internal wetland patch is supported by high groundwater moving through alluvium. Hydrologic indicators are present in adjacent pasture areas as a result of seasonally high ground water which can cause soils to maintain persistent hydric characteristics. However, based on vegetation present in these areas and using the FAC Neutral test, these pastures do not qualify as wetlands. Less than 50 percent of the plant species are wetter than FAC if facultative species aze neutral. Representative photos for each of these areas are provided on the attached photo pages. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION 0.6gicre of palustrine emergent persistent (PEP) hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and supporting hydrology are present in Area 3 (Stobaugh Ditch Remnant). Although the Stobaugh Ditch is an inactive, non-navigable remnant, it has a surface water connection to the Colorado River. Given that this azea meets all three wetland/jurisdictional requisites, and based on a site visit with the USAGE on May 21, 2006, Area 3 is a jurisdictional wetland. 0.05-acres ofnon-vegetated open water (i.e., Waters) and 0.8-acre of palustrine emergent persistent (PEP) hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and supporting hydrology are present in Areas 4B (Unnamed Drainage), thereby totaling O.Q- acre of jurisdictional area. 0.21-acre of palustrine emergent persistent (PEP) hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and supporting hydrology are present in Area $We tland Swale) that connects to Area 4B. These areas have a direct surface connection;aze an extension of a natural drainage;carry and collect return flows from the Lower Cactus Valley Ditch, natural run-off, groundwater and precipitation to the Colorado River. Therefore, Walsh supports that Areas 4B and ffire jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands. The total jurisdictional area of 4B and combined is 1.13 acres. O.lEtcre of palustrine emergent persistent (PEP) hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and supporting hydrology are present in Area 6 (Isolated Stock Pond). However, because it is isolated, has no surface connection to the Colorado River, and is supported solely by ground water, Walsh asserts that this area is non-jurisdictional, isolated wetland. 0.1 &xcre of palustrine emergent persistent (PEP) hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and supporting hydrology are present in Area 7 (Ephemeral Swale) and it is therefore a jurisdictional wetland. That portion of the Swale that does not exhibit wetland characteristics, but has a defined bed and bank, and a direct surface connection with the Colorado River consists of 0.02-acre (133 lineal feet) of anon-vegetated Swale. This portion is considered a jurisdictional Water of the U.S. 0.56 acres of riverine lower perennial emergent (R2EM) hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and supporting hydrology are present in Areas 10, 11, 12, and 13 (Colorado River Banks and Island Wetlands) Therefore, these areas are jurisdictional wetlands. Open water up to the ordinary high water mark is considered Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
