Take hwy <br />9 toward Hartsel. The site is located on the north side of Hwy 9 just past <br />the Park County Gravel operation. <br />Site: This -32.2 acre site is at an approximate elevation of 9,658 feet. The <br />properly is bordered by a gravel pit and agriculture. This lite consists of a <br />meadow type wetland. <br />Delineation: I visited the above site on August 1, 2005. I found <br />jurisdictional wetland's on the site. This wetland has high quality plant <br />diversity. The plants are all herbaceous. The wetland was delineated <br />within the guidelines of the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation <br />Manual (1987). The wetland was identified with orange flagging marked <br />wetland boundary. I have attached a site drawing with the wetland <br />boundary based upon physical measurements taken in the field. <br />Soils: Soil hue, value and chroma were compared to the Munsell Soil <br />Color Charts to determine presence of hydric soils. Soils were tested to an <br />average depth of 10 inches, using a narrow shovel. The soils in the <br />wetland are hydric. The soils were saturated to within 3 inches of the <br />surface with up to 12 inches of standing water in places. <br />Vegetation: The Cast below is broken up into the dominant species for each <br />wetland type. <br />Scientific Name Common Name <br />Meadow <br />Juncus drummondia Drummond's Rush <br />Deschampsia Cespitosa Tufted hair grass <br />Hordeum jubatum Foxtail barley <br />Carex scopulorum Rocky Mnt Sedge <br />Indicator Stotts <br />FdcW* <br />FacW <br />Fac* <br />•FacW <br />
