a <br />Wildlife <br />The channel of Littlejohns Creek showed no harborage for fish or other aquatic wildlife except <br />for the few uprooted trees and the narrow strip of floating vegetation along the water's edge; therefore, <br />habitat value for fish and wildlife of the waters of Littlejohn Creek and its associated upland <br />vegetation appears very low (Environmental Science Associates 1993). <br />Jurisdictional Waters and Wetlands of the United States <br />A total of *`acresofjurisdictional•:the UnitedStates, including wetlands, <br />telineated on the project site (Figure 2-5).
