• <br /> <br />elevations) almost exclusively are found within the surrounding "Bottomland" vegetation community that <br />tends to occupy the alluvial bottoms of the various drainages. <br />Given the extensive size of the survey area (13,605 acres), the primarily linear nature of most <br />wetlands (streamside along over 21 miles of stream and drainage corridor), and remote location of the <br />project, a combination of techniques were utilized for delineation and mapping. These included: sub- <br />meter GPS circumnavigation for the larger wetland bodies; remote sensing techniques using 12-inch <br />resolution, false-color color infra-red (CIR) high altitude imagery; and extensive ground reconnaissance / <br />evaluation techniques. <br />The following report presents the results of 2005 field delineation efforts by Cedar Creek as a first <br />step in the permitting process. Section 2.0 presents the methodology followed to complete field mapping <br />and site sampling. Section 3.0 contains a summary of project site conditions and details the results of the <br />field and remote sensing effort. An appendix (A) includes copies of all field sheets for sampling sites <br />completed during field mapping. Map pockets hold the five delineation maps depicting the surveyed <br />wetland and WUS boundaries. This mapping also exhibits the locations of the sample points described in <br />this report. Upland vegetation community and soils information is provided in sister documents for the <br />project. <br />CCMAR CCRMIK ASSO ?A'Il S, INC. <br />Page 2 Colowyo Coal Co. - Collom Project Wetlands
