Minturn Crossing, LLC is developing plans for The North Minturn PUD, a residential development consisting of 116 lots to be located on an 18.95-acre parcel in Minturn, Colorado. To aid in project planning, a Wetland Delineation was completed for the project site and two adjacent areas west of Minturn Road, for a total boundary of delineation covering 21 acres. Specifically, the project site is in Section 26 of Township 5 South and Range 81 West in Eagle County (Figures 1 & 2).
This report describes the wetlands identified on the project site in terms of their vegetation, soil, and hydrology; provides a Wetland Map; and includes site photographs. Please note, all Figures are included in Section 6.0, Tables are in Section 7.0, and Photos are in Section 8.0. Appendix A contains copies of the field data forms completed during the delineation.
2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The North Minturn PUD is an undeveloped site located on a wedge-shaped parcel north of downtown Minturn. The property is located between Minturn Road and Taylor Street, and is bisected by 4th Avenue and 4th Street (Figure 2). The Union Pacific Railroad Right-of-Way and the Eagle River are just west of and approximately parallel to Minturn Road, with U.S. Highway 24 on the west side of the Eagle River. Game Creek, a perennial stream, flows across the northern part of the project site, and continues east to join the Eagle River on the west side of the railroad (Photo 1). North of Game Creek, the parcel climbs up a steep west- southwest facing hillside that vegetated by a mountain shrubland community. Riparian wetlands line Game Creek, and the southern part of the parcel is a disturbed herbaceous community with one isolated stand of non-native peashrubs (Caragana arborescens) along Minturn Road. As shown by Figure 3, the boundary of the delineation also encompasses the lower part of Game Creek between Minturn Road and the railroad (Photo 2), as well as an upland ditch just east of 4th Ave. This ditch seldom flows and it lacks a defined bed and bank, with upland weeds in the bottom (Photo 3). Elevations of the project site range from a high of approximately 8,020 feet in the northeast corner to a low of 7,828 feet near Minturn Road and 4th Avenue.
3.0 DELINEATION METHODS
Wetlands were delineated by Heather Houston of Birch Ecology and David Buscher, a Certified Professional Soil Scientist with Buscher Soil & Environmental Consulting, on July 31, 2020. The delineation was conducted in accordance with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (1987) and the Regional Supplement for the Western Mountains, Valleys and Coast (2010). Specifically, wetland boundaries were delineated and flagged based upon the prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and indicators of a wetland hydrology. Field forms for the six wetland delineation test pits with vegetation, soils, and hydrology data are included in Appendix A. In general, plant species names follow Weber and Whitmann (1992) with updates from Ackerfield (2015). The wetland status of plants follows the 2019 List for the Intermountain Region. Classification of wetlands follows Cowardin et al. (1979). Wetland flagging was surveyed by Gore Range Surveying of Avon, Colorado.
1 4.0 WETLANDS & WATERS OF THE U.S.
Wetlands on the North Minturn PUD project site are illustrated by Figure 4, the Wetland Map, and are summarized in Table 1.
4.1 Game Creek Wetland
4.1.1 Location The Game Creek Wetland covers 15,647 square feet (0.36 acre), with one upland island created by a split-flow channel.
4.1.2 Vegetation Just above Minturn Road, the Game Creek Wetland has a riparian overstory dominated by narrowleaf cottonwood (Populus angustifolia) and balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera) trees, with a few aspen (Populus tremuloides)(Photo 1). Farther upstream, the trees give way to a shrub-dominated community that includes mountain and Drummond willows (Salix monticola; S. drummondiana), redosier dogwood (Cornus serecia), thinleaf alder (Alnus incana ssp. tenuifolia), hawthorn (Crataegus rivularis), snowberry (Symphoricarpos rodundifolius), and serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia)(Photo 4). The herbaceous wetland understory is dominated by reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), an aggressive introduced species. Other introduced grasses including timothy (Phelum pratense), Canada bluegrass (Poa compressa), and redtop (Agrostis alba) are also common along the channel, with orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata), in the shady areas of the understory below the trees. Some of the dominant native forbs include cow parsnip (Heracleum sphondylium ssp. montanum), largeleaf avens (Geum macrophyllum), and leafy bracted aster (Aster foliaceous) (Photo 5). Table 2 lists the vascular plant species observed on the project site during the wetland delineation in July, 2020.
4.1.2 Classification The Game Creek Wetland is in the Palustrine System, with Forested and Scrub-Shrub Wetland Classes, and a Broad-Leaved Deciduous dominance type, according to Cowardin et al. (1979).
4.5.4 Hydrology Perennial stream flows in Game Creek create saturated soil conditions that facilitate wetland development on the banks and floodplain. In addition, seasonally high groundwater associated with the alluvial aquifer likely contributes to the wetland hydrology. Within the project area, Game Creek averages approximately 2 ½-3 feet wide (Photo 6).
4.5.5 Soils Five soil pits were used to define the boundary of the Game Creek Wetland. Pits 1, 2 and 3 are located in the area of the upland island. Pit 1 is within the wetland boundary on a narrow floodplain of Game Creek (Photo 7). This pit contained hydric soil with a Redox Dark Surface (F6) and oxidized rhizospheres on living roots. Pits 2 and 3 are on an island created by a split flow channel. Pit 2 is within a swale on the island, but it lacked hydric soil and indicators of a wetland hydrology (Photo 8). Pit 3 is farther upstream on the same island – and also lacked hydric soil. Pits 4 and 5 are paired pits located downstream of Minturn Road on the left side of lower Game Creek. Pit 4 is in a swale next to the channel dominated by reed canarygrass. It had hydric soil with a Redox Dark Surface (F6) and oxidized rhizospheres. Pit 5 is in the
2 upland position; although it had hydrophytic vegetation, the soil was not hydric and it lacked wetland hydrology indicators.
5.0 ANALYSIS OF JURISDICTIONAL STATUS
Game Creek is a perennial tributary of the Eagle River, which flows into the Colorado River, an interstate water. Therefore, the Game Creek Wetland is jurisdictional. No other waters of the U.S. were identified on the project site.
