Wetland Investigation Summary
Hazen investigators conducted a preliminary desktop assessment of available maps and
geographic information systems (GIS) shapefiles to determine the potential presence of
jurisdictional wetlands and deepwater habitats in the vicinity of the project. Hazen investigators
then conducted a field investigation that included identification, classification, and delineation of
waters of the U.S. present within the proposed limits of disturbance. One jurisdictional stream
(Twelve Mile Creek)was present within the limits of disturbance. Additionally, Twelve Mile
Creek Tributary No. 8 abuts the project area but is not within it. No wetlands were present within
the limits of disturbance.
