APPENDIX B 



FIELD INSPECTION: DESIRABLE DATA, 

 PROCEDURES, AND EQUIPMENT 



APPLICANT SITE PLANNING FIELD INSPECTION 



As part of the site planning process the applicant is recommended to 

 visit the proposed site or alternate sites, or both, during the open-water 

 season to gather the following information: 



A. Technical data to substantiate aerial photographic interpretation 

 (e.g., sufficient quantity and quality of material, and percent 



f i nes ) . 



B. General site specific biological data regarding the presence of areas 

 or species of special concern that may be directly influenced should 

 site development occur. 



C. Site specific hydraulic data relevant to site planning and agency 

 review (e.g., discharge, stage, and cross sections). 



D. Ground photographs of site physical and biological characteristics 

 which will be used in support of work plan development and submittal 

 to appropriate agencies. 



E. If a snow-covered site will be opened, all work area locations should 

 be surveyed during the open-water site visit. This survey should be 

 from reference locations that can be located during site opening. 

 Boundaries, such as those of active channels, buffer locations, vege- 

 tated areas, and gravel deposits, can then be accurately relocated 

 during site preparation. This will reduce the potential for damage to 

 areas that should not be disturbed.
