NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES This database is comprised of information from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. This list has been searched for national wildlife refuges located within a 1.0 mile search radius from the exterior boundaries of subject property. No national wildlife refuges were found located within a 1.0 mile search radius of subject property. 2020-01-036 2of 9 THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES The US Fish and Wildlife Service maintains a list of endangered plant and animal species on their website: (http://ecos.fws.gov/ipac) and potential critical habitat areas (http://ecos.fws.gov/ecp/report/table/critical- habitat.html) No endangered plant and animal species were recorded on the property. Subject site is not located within a critical habitat area. See attached habitat map and IPaC printout. SECTION 404 OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) establishes a program to regulate the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands. Activities in waters of the United States regulated under this program include fill for development, water resource projects (such as dams and levees), infrastructure development (such as highways and airports) and mining projects. Section 404 requires a permit before dredged or fill material may be discharged into waters of the United States. Proposed activities are regulated through a permit review process. An individual permit is required for potentially significant impacts. Individual permits are reviewed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which evaluates applications under a public interest review, as well as the environmental criteria set forth in the CWA Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines, regulations promulgated by EPA. Subject property was reviewed via the US Army Corps of Engineers Permit finder located at: https://permits.ops.usace.army.mil/orm-public No permits were found impacting subject property. 2020-01-036 3of 9 WETLANDS The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maintains and updated 1:24k and 1:24k quadrangle maps and digital data representing wetland locations and classifications as defined by the US Fish and Wildlife Service at the online mapper application: https://www.fws.gov/wetlands/data/mapper.html See map attached. Property overlaps the following wetlands code R4SBC: R System RIVERINE: The Riverine System includes all wetlands and deepwater habitats contained within a channel, with two exceptions: (1) wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses, or lichens, and (2) habitats with water containing ocean-derived salts of 0.5 ppt or greater. A channel is an open conduit either naturally or artificially created which periodically or continuously contains moving water, or which forms a connecting link between two bodies of standing water. 4 Subsystem INTERMITTENT: This Subsystem includes channels that contain flowing water only part of the year. When the water is not flowing, it may remain in isolated pools or surface water may be absent. SB Class STREAMBED: Includes all wetlands contained within the Intermittent Subsystem of the Riverine System and all channels of the Estuarine System or of the Tidal Subsystem of the Riverine System that are completely dewatered at low tide. C Water Regime Seasonally Flooded: Surface water is present for extended periods especially early in the growing season, but is absent by the end of the growing season in most years. The water table after flooding ceases is variable, extending from saturated to the surface to a water table well below the ground surface. In addition, within a 1 mile radius there are additional wetlands coded PEM1A, PFO1A, R4SBA; PEM1AH and PEM1ch. Codes follow: P System PALUSTRINE: The Palustrine System includes all nontidal wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses or lichens, and all such wetlands that occur in tidal areas where salinity due to ocean-derived salts is below 0.5 ppt. It also includes wetlands lacking such vegetation, but with all of the following four characteristics: (1) area less than 8 ha (20 acres); (2) active wave- formed or bedrock shoreline features lacking; (3) water depth in the deepest part of basin less than 2.5 m (8.2 ft) at low water; and (4) salinity due to ocean-derived salts less than 0.5 ppt. 2020-01-036 4of 9 EM Class EMERGENT: Characterized by erect, rooted, herbaceous hydrophytes, excluding mosses and lichens. This vegetation is present for most of the growing season in most years. These wetlands are usually dominated by perennial plants. 1 Subclass Persistent: Dominated by species that normally remain standing at least until the beginning of the next growing season. This subclass is found only in the Estuarine and Palustrine systems. A Water Regime Temporary Flooded: Surface water is present for brief periods (from a few days to a few weeks) during the growing season, but the water table usually lies well below the ground surface for the most of the season. h SPECIAL MODIFIER Diked/Impounded: These wetlands have been created or modified by a man-made barrier or dam that obstructs the inflow or outflow of water. C Water Regime Seasonally Flooded: Surface water is present for extended periods especially early in the growing season, but is absent by the end of the growing season in most years. The water table after flooding ceases is variable, extending from saturated to the surface to a water table well below the ground surface.. h SPECIAL MODIFIER Diked/Impounded: These wetlands have been created or modified by a man-made barrier or dam that obstructs the inflow or outflow of water. FO Class FORESTED: Characterized by woody vegetation that is 6 m tall or taller. 1 Subclass Broad-Leaved Deciduous: Woody angiosperms (trees or shrubs) with relatively wide, flat leaves that are shed during the cold or dry season; e.g., black ash (Fraxinus nigra). A Water Regime Temporary Flooded: Surface water is present for brief periods (from a few days to a few weeks) during the growing season, but the water table usually lies well below the ground surface for the most of the season. 2020-01-036 5of 9 Description for code R4SBA: R System RIVERINE: The Riverine System includes all wetlands and deepwater habitats contained within a channel, with two exceptions: (1) wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses, or lichens, and (2) habitats with water containing ocean-derived salts of 0.5 ppt or greater. A channel is an open conduit either naturally or artificially created which periodically or continuously contains moving water, or which forms a connecting link between two bodies of standing water. 4 Subsystem INTERMITTENT: This Subsystem includes channels that contain flowing water only part of the year. When the water is not flowing, it may remain in isolated pools or surface water may be absent. SB Class STREAMBED: Includes all wetlands contained within the Intermittent Subsystem of the Riverine System and all channels of the Estuarine System or of the Tidal Subsystem of the Riverine System that are completely dewatered at low tide. A Water Regime Temporary Flooded: Surface water is present for brief periods (from a few days to a few weeks) during the growing season, but the water table usually lies well below the ground surface for the most of the season 2020-01-036 6of 9 NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES (NRHP) AND LOCAL HISTORIC PROPERTY REGISTERS This database is comprised of information from the National Park Service, National Register Information System (NRIS) which is the official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects significant in American History. In addition, online Prescott historic property and neighborhood information has been reviewed. These lists have been searched for historic places located within a 1.0 mile search radius from the exterior boundaries of subject property. Within the 1.0 mile search radius, no historic properties or historic districts were found on the NRHP or in online municipal data. The historic Santa Fe, Prescott, and Phoenix Railway Line runs northeast-southwest approximately .13 miles northwest of the project parcel. The historic Prescott-Jerome Highway (US 89A) runs parallel to the railroad tracks approximately .36 miles to the northwest of the project area. Neither are within the current project area. ASU AZSITE PUBLIC DATABASE The ASU AZSITE Public Database has been searched for cultural/archaeological resource sensitivity in Section 25, Township 14 North, Range 2 West.

  • 5.3 PUBLIC LANDS Federally Owned Public Lands in the U.S
    ST. GEORGE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT 5.3 PUBLIC LANDS Federally owned public lands in the U.S. fall under several different designations and are managed by various lead agencies. Forty-seven designated public lands are located within the initial area of investigation, as listed in Table 5.2, Public Lands, and Table 5.3, Wilderness Study Areas, as revised in the Final EIS. Lead agencies for these properties include the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the State of Utah, the State of Arizona, and the State of Nevada. The initial area of investigation was used as a basis for determining which public lands could potentially be affected by the development of the proposed replacement airport at St. George (see Section 5.1.1, in the Draft EIS, for detailed information about the initial area of investigation). The determination of which sites within the initial area of investigation are public lands was made through coordination with the lead agencies listed above. See Appendix M (in the Draft EIS), Coordination with Managing Agencies of 4(f)/303(c) Properties Located within the Initial Area of Investigation, for documentation of this coordination process. Public lands are protected for the conservation of natural resources, the protection of historic sites, and the provision of outdoor recreational opportunities. Most public lands are protected to provide for public enjoyment in such a way that will leave resources unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations. Some public lands are also set aside for economic uses and can be administered under the concept of multiple use management, which balances economic activities such as grazing, logging, and mining with recreational uses of the land.
