Prior to preparation of this jurisdictional wetland <br />delineation report, background information was reviewed, individuals familiar with the project were <br />interviewed, and maps, aerial photos, and soil map unit descriptions of the project area were obtained by <br />Western Bionomics. The project area was examined on June 26, 2008 in order to determine the types and <br />locations of various plant communities on the parcel. Ecosystem parameters (vegetation, soils, and hydrology) <br />were. characterized and recorded as per the protocol required by Army Corps of Engineers. Wetland Delineation <br />Manual (1987). Based on observations of wetland parameters, wetland boundaries were designated, surveyed, <br />and located on maps with respect to the project datum. A wetland ecosystem functions and values assessment <br />was conducted for the delineated wetland. <br />The results of the wetland delineation indicate that a total of 1.95 acre of moderate quality wetland is present on <br />the expansion parcel. The wetland delineation was verified in the field by Mr. Nathan Green of the Grand <br />Junction Army Corps of Engineers office. Pre-application consultation with the Corps of Engineers was <br />initiated during the summer of 2008. The Corps has indicated that an Individual Permit Application will be <br />required for the project. <br />As you may know, wetland impacts required to mine this site are minimal, in comparison to other recently <br />proposed gravel pits in Routt County. I will continue to work with Chris Rundall and you to prepare and submit <br />the individual 404 permit application to the Army Corps of Engineers. <br />Sincerely, <br />Weste mics LC <br />Kell offer <br />Prin pal <br />cc: Mr. John Vanderbloemen
