This area is a reclaimed gravel pit. Based on the level of previous ground disturbance, this project will have no impacts on any threatened or endangered species. The project is not in a wetland area. Ponds - For ponds, consult and assess whether existing wildlife, waterfowl, or fisheries resources would be impacted. The pond is off stream, at the end of an irrigation ditch, and has no outlet.
Inflows are limited to the water rights and periods of use.
Existing wildlife, waterfowl and fisheries will not be impacted since the pond does not have an outlet within 3000 ft of a stream. Assess whether the soils are heavy in salts that could cause saline seep. There will be no alteration in the soil. Soil in the project area is Clark Fork cobbly sandy loam, which has a low water holding capacity and is well drained. Assess whether the proposed project would result in the establishment or spread of noxious weeds.
