<br />grayish brown loam and lice sandy loam about 25 inches thick. The underlying material to <br />a depth of 60 inches is light brownish gray fine sandy loam. This sor7 type is not identified <br />as hydric by the USAGE. <br />The slope that separates the primary and secondary teaaces contains Cascajo gravelly <br />sandy loam. This sort unit is also found along the south edge of the Croissant property. <br />This is a deep, excessively drained sorb on terrace edges azbd upland ridges. Typically, the <br />surface Iayer to a depth of nine inches is a brown gravelly sandy loam The upper part of <br />the trndeclying material, to approximately 22 inc]res, is pak brown and light yellowrsh <br />brown very gravelly sandy loam The lower portion to a depth of 60 inches is light <br />yellowish brown very gravelly sand. This soil type is not identified as hydric by the <br />USAGE. <br />Otero sandy bam is looted wdhin a band betwcen the Cascajo and Olney soils treadmg <br />northwest-southeast along the slope separating the terraces through the (sreen property. <br />This is a deep, well rained sort on plains that is formed in mixed outwash and eolian <br />deposrts. The surface layer of this sort is brown sandy loam about ten inches thick. The <br />underlying material to a depth of 60 inches is pale brown find sandy loam Otero sandy <br />loam is not listed as a hydric sorb by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. <br />Olney fine sandy loam is located within the irrigated pasture located on the southwest <br />comer of the Green property. This is a deep, well rained soil on plains formed in mixed <br />outwash deposits. The surface layer, to about ten inches, of the soil is grayish brown fine <br />sandy loam The subsoil is yellowish to very pale brown sandy clay loam to about 14 <br />inches. To a depth of 60 inches is very pale brown fine sandy loam Olney soils are not <br />classified as hydric by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. <br />STUDY METHODS <br />Banks and Gesso provided Savage and Savage with a detarled aerial photograph that <br />identified and located the area of interest and ad}scent surrounding areas. Upon arrival at <br />the site, the study area boundaries were driven and walked, and the character of the area <br />was established. <br />After establishing the boundaries .and reference points for mapping Purposes. a <br />jurisdictional wetland delineation was conducted. The survey and delineation was <br />conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Corps of Engineers Wetlands <br />Delineation Manual (USAGE, 198'n. To determine the areas are subject to Corps <br />jurisdiction, three criteria were evaluated: (1) evidence of a hydrologic regane reflecting <br />saturation or periodic inundation by surFaoe or ground water of sufficie~ duration and <br />Srequency, (2) soils which are considered hydric by classification or field characteristics <br />indicating anaerobic conditions, and (3) a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted to <br />areas of wetland hydrology and soils. <br />-4- <br />
