EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A wetland delineation was performed by Morrison-Maierle, Inc. (Morrison-Maierle) for Mitchell
Development Group (Client) on the Bozeman Gateway project. The project area consists of two
parcels of land; one located off Fowler Avenue and the other located off West Garfield Street in
Bozeman, Montana (Appendix A, Figure 1).
The subject property was evaluated for its content of potential jurisdictional wetlands and
waterbodies, based on criteria set forth in the 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region (Version
2.0) (Environmental Laboratory 2010).
Prior to the site visit, Morrison-Maierle reviewed existing project area literature including historical
aerial photography, topographic maps, and hydrology data. A subsequent field evaluation was
performed to identify hydric soils, hydrology, and hydrophytic vegetation. Vegetation communities
were evaluated and documented to delineate wetland and upland boundaries.
Based on the wetland delineation presented in this report and the data collected, it is Morrison-
Maierle’s professional judgement that waters of the U.S. were present within the project area. The
project area contains 1.45 acres of wetlands, including palustrine emergent, scrub shrub, and
forested wetlands. Additionally, the project area contains 2,613 linear feet (0.37 acres) of
tributaries.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) are the final authority over the jurisdictional status of both wetlands and waters of the U.S.
per Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The findings discussed in this report are solely the
opinion of Morrison-Maierle and have not been verified by the aforementioned regulatory
government agencies.

1 Introduction
At the request of the Client, Morrison-Maierle completed a wetland delineation on Phase 5 of the
Bozeman Gateway Development. The area of investigation covered approximately 7 acres of land
located off Fowler Avenue) in Bozeman, Montana (Appendix A, Figure 1). This technical report
summarizes the findings of the wetland delineation.
2 Methods
This wetland delineation utilized the methodology presented in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and
subsequent modifications outlined in the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region (Version 2.0) (Environmental
Laboratory 2010). The methodology includes sampling procedures for vegetation, hydrology, and
soil parameters.
Upland data points (UDP) and wetland data points (WDP) were established as needed during the
field visit. Sample data points were labeled with an UDP or WDP, followed by the number
associated with the data point, (e.g. noted here in bold (UDP 1) to correspond to the sample points
for that location. Data for vegetation, hydrology, and soils were recorded in the field and entered
on Wetland Determination Data Forms. Corresponding photographs were taken at each data
point.
Sample points and wetland boundaries (if present) were recorded using a Trimble® Geo 7X™
Global Positioning System (GPS) unit and post-processed to sub-meter accuracy. Locations were
then converted to shapefiles uploaded into ArcMap 10.6.1 for display on figures included in
Appendix A.
2.1 Vegetation
Vegetation at upland and wetland data points was classified based on its wetland indicator status
derived from the Montana 2016 State Wetland Plant List (Lichvar et al. 2016). Using the current
plant list, vegetation cover qualifies as hydrophytic when over 50% of the dominant plant species
have an indicator status of obligate (OBL), facultative wet (FACW), and/or facultative (FAC). FAC
plants, such as Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), are equally likely to occur in wetlands and non-
wetlands. Vegetation cover was considered as upland where over 50% of the dominant plant
species were classified as upland (UPL), and/or facultative upland (FACU). Plants observed
within each data plot were identified using Montana Manual of Vascular Plants (Lesica 2012)
along with other reference books. Vegetation nomenclature follows Lichvar et al. (2016) and
Lesica (2012).
2.2 Soil
Wetlands must meet the qualifications of at least one hydric soil indicator, or meet the definition
of a hydric soil (a soil that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding or ponding long enough
during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part (NRCS 2019a)).
Soils at each data point were evaluated and described notating the depth, matrix color, mottle
abundance and contrast (if present), texture, etc. (Environmental Laboratory, 1987 and 2010).
Bozeman Gateway
Wetland Delineation
Page 2
Moist matrix color and moist mottle color of the soils were determined utilizing the Munsell Soil
Color Chart (Kollmorgan Instruments Corporation, 2009).
2.3 Hydrology
Primary and secondary hydrologic indicators were assessed at each wetland and upland data
point; one primary indicator or two secondary indicators are required to qualify the area as
containing wetland hydrology. Examples of primary hydrology indicators are saturation within 12
inches of the ground surface, surface water, and water table within 12 inches of the ground
surface. Examples of secondary hydrology indicators are FAC-neutral test and geomorphic
position on the landscape.
3 Results
A wetland delineation of the project area was performed by Morrison-Maierle environmental
scientists on August 1, 2019. The vegetation, hydrology, and soil characteristics at each of 8 data
points were documented in the field and recorded on Wetland Determination Data Forms for the
Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region (Supplement, 2010).
3.1 Vegetation
Vegetation communities were evaluated and documented to delineate wetland and upland
boundaries. The upland herbaceous areas within the western parcel of the project were
dominated by reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea, FACW), timothy grass (Phleum pratense,
FAC), and Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense, FAC). The upland forested area was dominated by
intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium, NI) and cottonwood trees (Populus
balsamifera, FAC). The palustrine emergent wetlands within the project area were dominated by
Nebraska sedge (Carex nebrascensis, OBL), reed canary grass, and tufted hairgrass
(Deschampsia cespitosa, FACW). The scrub-shrub wetlands were dominated by white willow
(Salix alba, FACW) and timothy grass. The forested wetlands were dominated by white willow,
red osier (Cornus alba, FACW), Nebraska sedge, and timothy. The eastern parcel of the project
area consisted of disturbed areas for construction of nearby facilities and a drainage swale that
no longer receives a direct source of water. The location of all data points are identified on Figure
5 of Appendix A.
3.2 Soil
Mapped soil types within the project area were obtained from the Web Soil Survey (NRCS 2019b).
Three mapped soils were identified in the project area: Meadowcreek loam, 0 to 4 percent slopes
(510B), Turner loam, moderately wet, 0 to 2 percent slopes (457A), and Blossberg loam, 0 to 2
percent slopes (542A) (Appendix A, Figure 3).
Soils were analyzed in the field for texture and color using the Munsell Soil Color Charts (Munsell
2009). Soils within upland areas exhibited a 10YR 2/1 (black) or 10YR 3/1 (very dark grey) clay
loam matrix. Soil within the wetland areas exhibited a 10YR 2/1 organic surface layer
approximately six to eight inches thick with 10YR 2/1 clay or clay loam below. The soil within the
wetland area meets the characteristics of Black Hystic (A3).

3.3 Hydrology
3.3.1 Topography
The project area lies within the Bozeman, Montana (2017), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-
minute Topographic Map. The project area is shown to be gently sloping to flat with elevations at
approximately 4,865 feet above sea level (Appendix A, Figure 2). Additionally, a perennial
tributary is shown to intersect the project area east to west and an intermittent tributary is shown
to intersect the property north to south. During the site evaluation, the elevation and slope of the
project area appeared to be consistent with the USGS topographic map. The tributaries were also
confirmed to be present within the project area.
The EPA National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus) was referenced to identify waterbodies
within and near the project area (EPA 2019). The nearest surface water feature to the project
area is a canal and a stream that intersect the project area.
3.3.2 National Wetland Inventory
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service maintains the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), which serves
as a publicly available resource that provides detailed information on the abundance,
characteristics, and distribution of U.S. wetlands. According to the NWI database, two freshwater
emergent wetlands (PEM1Cx and PEM1A), one freshwater forested/shrub wetland (PSSAx), and
two riverine (R4SBCx and R3UBFx) features are located within the investigation area (USFWS
2019). Appendix A, Figure 4 depicts the NWI features in the project vicinity.
3.3.3 Floodplains
The project area is located within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panel 30031C0812D, effective September 2, 2011. The project area
lies within an unprinted panel, therefore there is no flood plain data available (FEMA 2019).
4 Conclusions
Based on the results of the wetland delineation performed according to USACE guidelines, it is
Morrison-Maierle’s professional judgement that portions of the project area meets the technical
criteria to be classified as waters of the U.S. Table 1, below, describes each feature in detail.
