Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company Wetland

Representative Project

WWE has provided services related to wetland delineation and inventory to Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company for the last ten years.  Over this time, we have delineated wetlands throughout an area over 100 square miles within the historic mining district. 

Wetlands have been delineated using accepted procedures of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Aerial photographs have been used extensively to assist field work, and special measures have been implemented to address wetlands caused by historic mining activities, and isolated wetlands.  Wetland mapping has been compiled to assist with further mine planning. 

Meetings were held with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to discuss the work.
