EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A wetland delineation was performed by Morrison-Maierle, Inc. (Morrison-Maierle) for Cape-
France Enterprises (Client) on the Home 2 Hotel Site. The project area consists of 5.53 acres of
undeveloped property located to the south of the intersection of East Baxter Lane and Boot Hill
Court in Gallatin County, 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
Home 2 Hotel Site contains 0.11 acres of emergent wetland.
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 the Home 2
Hotel Site. The project area consists of 5.53 acres of undeveloped property located to the south
of the intersection of East Baxter Lane and Boot Hill Court in Gallatin County, 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-1-19) to correspond to the sample
points for that location. The number 19 indicates that this sample point was observed in 2019.
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® GeoXH™
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).
Home 2 Hotel Site

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 July 30, 2019. The vegetation, hydrology, and soil characteristics at each of five 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 project were dominated by intermediate
wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium, NI), Canada thistle (Circium arvense, FAC), stickywilly
(Galium aparine, FACU), prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola, FACU), and hoary alyssum (Berteroa
incana, NI). The palustrine emergent wetland within the project area was dominated by reed
canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea, FACW), Canada thistle, fringed willow herb (Epilobium
ciliatum, FACW), and common spikerush (Eleocharis palustris, OBL). 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).
Two mapped soil types were identified in the project area: Enbar loam, 0 to 4 percent slopes
(509B) and Saypo silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes (506A) (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) loam or loamy clay matrix. Soil
within the wetland areas exhibited a 10YR 3/1 (very dark grey) clay with 30 to 40 percent 10YR
6/2 (light brownish gray) and two percent redoximorphic features of 7.5YR 3/4 (dark brown) down
to 12 inches. Below 12 inches consisted of a restrictive layer of gravel and rocks. The soil within
the wetland area meets the characteristics of redox dark surface hydric soils (F6).
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 fairly flat with an elevation of
approximately 4,725 feet above sea level (Appendix A, Figure 2). Older topographic maps show
Home 2 Hotel Site
Wetland Delineation
Page 3
a railroad that traverses the northeast corner of the property. During the site evaluation, the slope
of the project area was indicative of a drainage feature through the north portion of the property
near where the railroad was shown on older topographic maps.
The EPA National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus) was referenced to identify waterbodies
within and near the project area (EPA 2019). The nearest surface water features to the project
area are unnamed tributaries located approximately 800 feet to the east and one approximately
900 feet to the west.
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 no features are
located within the project area (USFWS 2019). However, one emergent wetland feature is located
on the adjacent property to the east. Appendix A, Figure 4 depicts the NWI features in the project
vicinity.
The site evaluation included an investigation of the area to the west of the NWI features shown
in the database. This area exhibited characteristics of a palustrine emergent wetland and is
connected to the NWI feature to the east via a culvert under the road.
3.3.3 Floodplains
The project area is located on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panel 30031C0808D, effective September 2, 2011 with a Letter of
Map Revision on October 30, 2015. The project area lies entirely outside of the 100-year
floodplain (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. The project area contains two emergent wetlands,
totaling 0.11 acres (Appendix A, Figure 5).
