(iv) Biological Characteristics. Channel supports (check all that apply):
^ Riparian corridor. Characteristics (type, average width):
^ Wetland fringe. Characteristics:
^ Habitat for:
^ Federally Listed species. Explain findings:
^ Fish spawn areas. Explain findings:
® Other environmentally-sensitive species. Explain findings: Several US Fish and Wildlife Service Birds of
Conservation Concern (BOCC) were observed the survey area including: Northern Hairier, Burrowing Owl, and Golden Eagle. The long-
nosed leopard lizard, a BLM sensitive species, and Grand Buckwheat (Eriogoneum contortum) a BLM sensitive plant species also reside in
the project area.
Aquatic/wildlife diversity. Explain findings: No aquatic species, however, incidental use by terrestrial species that are characteristic of the
salt desert shrub community.
2. Characteristics of wetlands adjacent to non-TNW that flow directly or indirectly into TNW
(i) Physical Characteristics:
(a) General Wetland Characteristics:
Properties:
Wetland size: acres
Wetland type. Explain:
Wetland quality. Explain:
Project wetlands cross or serve as state boundaries. Explain:
(b) General Flow Relationship with Non-TNW:
Flow is: Pick List. Explain:
Surface flow is: Pick List
Characteristics:
Subsurface flow: No. Explain findings:
^ Dye (or other) test performed:
(c) Wetland Adjacency Determination with Non-TNW:
^ Directly abutting
^ Not directly abutting
^ Discrete wetland hydrologic connection. Explain:
^ Ecological connection. Explain:
^ Separated by berm/barrier. Explain:
(d) Proximity (Relationship) to TNW
Project wetlands are Pick List river miles from TNW.
Project waters are Pick List aerial (straight) miles from TNW.
Flow is from: Pick List.
Estimate approximate location of wetland as within the Pick List floodplain.
(ii) Chemical Characteristics:
Characterize wetland system (e.g., water color is clear, brown, oil film on sm-face; water quality; general watershed characteristics;
etc.). Explain:
Identify specific pollutants, if known:
(iii) Biological Characteristics. Wetland supports (check all that apply):
^ Riparian buffer. Characteristics (type, average width):
^ Vegetationtype/percent cover. Explain:
^ Habitat for:
^ Federally Listed species. Explain findings:
^ Fish spawn areas. Explain findings:
^ Other environmentally-sensitive species. Explain findings:
^ Aquatic/wildlife diversity. Explain findings:
3. Characteristics of all wetlands adjacent to the tributary (if any)
All wetland(s) being considered in the cumulative analysis: Pick List
Approximately ( )acres in total are being considered in the cumulative analysis.
For each wetland, specify the following:
Directly abuts? (Y/~ Size (in acres) Directly abuts? (Y/1~ Size (in acres)
