Table DS-1. Descriptions of wetlands on the D & S Muting Properties. Refer to Table DS-2 for <br />lists of species observed in these wetland areas. <br />Wetland <br />Location Photo <br />Number s) Descriptions and Comments Jurisdictional Status <br /> This area includes the wetlands and waters of <br /> the United States that occur along the channel <br /> and trench of the South Platte River. These <br />South Platte areas are similar to other sections of the South <br /> <br />River Channel <br />DS-1, DS-2 Platte River that occur on other properties. <br />Jurisdictlonal/Waters <br />and Trench and DS-3 Major species include reed canary grass, coyote of the United States <br />(tN-DSI) willow and woolly sedge. Conditions along <br /> the river channel are highly variable <br /> depending on recent flood conditions. <br /> Hydrophytic species accounted for 68 percent <br /> of the observed s ecies. <br /> These wetland areas are similar to other <br /> wetland areas along Big Dry Creek that occur <br /> on other properties. The wetlands are <br /> restricted to the saturated zones immediately Jurisdictional - <br />Wetlands along adjacent to the stream channel. Major species Connected to other <br />Big Dry Creek DS-4 include reed canary grass, woolly sedge and jurisdictional <br />(N! D52) prairie cordgrass. The abundance of wetland wetlands <br /> species rapidly diminishes as the distance from <br /> the stream increases, Hydrophytic species <br /> accounted for 66 percent of the observed <br /> s ecies. <br /> Wetlands are restricted to the shallow water <br /> portions of the ponds and to the shorelines of <br /> the ponds. Development of wetland <br />Excavated vegetation along the shorelines of the ponds is <br />ponds DS-5 and discontinuous and limited to scattered patches. Not Jurisdictional - <br />(W-D53 and W- DS-6 Since the ponds tend to be steep-sided, Isolated <br />D54) vegetation development is limited. Major <br /> species include common cattail and curly dock. <br /> Hydrophytic species accounted for 73 percent <br /> of the observed s ecies. <br /> Several shallow depressions occur in the <br /> disturbed areas. These tend to accumulate <br /> enough water to support wetland vegetation <br />Areas of (either surface run oEf or groundwater). The <br />shallow water DS7 largest of these depressions had 45 inches of Not Jurisdicfional - <br />accumulation standing water. Major species included coyote Isolated <br />([N-DSS) willow, foxtail barley (Hordeum jubataim), <br /> common cattail and narrowleaf cattail (T~ha <br /> angiistifolia). Hydrophytic species accounted <br /> for 88 ercent of the observed s ecies. <br />-48- <br />
