.NW Rev. 0N'oAL Iea,: RPF Vegetation Assessment

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This assessment consists of quantitative and qualitative vegetation surveys that were conducted toevaluate the current state of vegetation on the proposed Northwest Medical Isotopes, LLC (NWMI)Radioisotope Production Facility (RPF) site. A quantitative vegetation assessment was conducted nearthe end of the growing season that collected frequency and density data.This report describes the findings from the quantitative and qualitative assessments conductedSeptember 30 and October 1, 2015. The information collected from the assessments is used to describethe current vegetation conditions of the site.1.1 BACKGROUNDNWMI proposes to construct and operate the RPF to commercially produce molybdenum 99 (99Mo) usinglow-enriched uranium (LEU). The proposed 3.0 hectare (ha) RPF site is situated within Discovery RidgeResearch Park (Discovery Ridge), north of Discovery Ridge Drive in the city of Columbia, BooneCounty, Missouri. The site is situated in central Missouri, approximately 201 kilometer (kin) east ofKansas City and 201 km west of St. Louis. The site is 7.2 km south of U.S. Interstate 70, just north ofU.S. Highway 63.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a spatial network of ecoregions for theresearch and monitoring of ecosystems. Ecoregions are areas of relatively uniform ecological systemsthat have similar vegetation, climate, geology, and physiology. The RFP site is located in the subregionClaypan Prairie of the Central Irregular Plains Ecoregion, which is characterized by well-developedclaypan soils located on gently rolling topography (Chapman et al., 2002). Historically, the region wasmostly tall grass prairies with seasonally inundated wetlands (Nigh and Schroeder, 2002). AfterEuropean settlement, the region experienced a conversion to cropland and pasture because of the gentlyrolling topography and soil with little natural vegetation remaining (Chapman et al., 2002; Nigh andSchroeder, 2002).The proposed site is located in a developed industrial park that was historically used as cultivated croplandand pasture. The current vegetation at the site consists of mostly grasses reminiscent of open pastureland.This report provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the vegetation currently on the site.1.2 METHODOLOGYThe quantitative assessment was performed with two randomly selected transects within the RPF site.At each location, general areas were identified for transects. The exact transect starting location was thenselected randomly by tossing a stake in the air. Each transect ending location was selected randomly bytossing a stake in the air and walking in the direction that the stake landed. Transect lengths were50 meter (in). Transect ends were recorded with a Trimnble GeoXT geographic positioning system (GPS).A map of the transect locations is included in Appendix A.After transects were defined, sample plots were established at 5 m intervals along each transect. Sampleplots were established with a 1 square meter (in2) (0.5 m x 2 m) plot frame quadrat. To ensure thatsample points wcrc sampled randomly, the starting point was chosen between 0 and 5 m, and then arandom number between 0 and 20 was used to determine the meters to be taken perpendicular (alternatingdirection every 5 m) to the transect. Photographs of each quadrat are provided in Appendix B. Withineach quadrat, data was collected for density and frequency.The qualitative assessment was performed in conjunction with the quantitative assessment. Thequalitative assessment involved identifying significant vegetation not specifically found in the plots. Thequalitative assessment was completed by an investigator walking the perimeter of the property and inrandom transects across the property.1 NWMINWMI-2015-RPT-002, Rev. 0RPF Vegetation Assessment2.0 QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENTEach transect was located using the method described in Section 1.0. Transect 1 was located on thesouthern portion and crossed the property from the east to the west. Transect 2 was located on thenorthern portion and crossed the property from the east to the north, diagonal from the Transect 1.Plant species encountered during the quantitative assessment consisted mostly of non-native plantstypically found in disturbed areas such as pastures and right-of-ways (MDOC, 2015). Photographs ofencountered species during the quantitative and qualitative assessments are provided in Appendix C.Encountered species that are not classified as non-native (White Heath Aster and Goldenrod) arecommonly found throughout prairie/oak forest plant communities (MDOC, 2015).Table 1 describes encountered species with frequencies of all of the species found on the site. Plantfrequency is the percent of occurrence within each transect and represents the species for the entire site.Table 1.

The qualitativeassessment was completed by an investigator walking the perimeter of the property and in randomtransects across the property. Photographs of the property were taken at various locations and areincluded in Appendix D, along with a map of the photographed locations. Photographs of notable plantsspecies taken throughout the assessment are provided in Appendix C.During the qualitative assessment, no Federal- or State-listed species were encountered. An AmericanSycamore (Platanus occidentalis) was encountered on the east side of the property. This tree species iscommonly found through the state of Missouri and in prairie/oak tree plant communities (MDOC, 2015).Other species encountered during the qualitative assessment and not the quantitative assessment includeCow Parsnip (Heracleaum lanatum), Partridge Pea (Cassia chamaecrista), and English Plantain (PlantagoLanceolata). Both of these species are common in prairie/oak tree plant communities (MDOC, 2015).While conducting the qualitative assessment, the inspector did encounter approximately nine EurasianCollared-Doves (Streptopelia decaocto). These birds are common and found statewide, typically usingpastures, trees, or powerlines to roost. No other wildlife were encountered onsite during the qualitative orquantitative assessment.4

Based on observations onsite and of the surrounding areas, thevegetation found onsite is not unique to this location, and these species are commonly found on othersites throughout the region that have been used as cattle pasture.5

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This assessment consists of a qualitative survey that was conducted to evaluate the current state of theproperties immediately surrounding the proposed Northwest Medical Isotopes, LLC (NWMI)Radioisotope Production Facility (RPF) site. The qualitative survey evaluated the surrounding vegetationcomrrunities, wetlands, and the presence of any wildlife.This report describes the findings from the qualitative survey conducted September 30 and October 1,2015. The information collected from the assessment is used to describe the current vegetation conditionsof the site.1.1 BACKGROUNDNWMI proposes to construct and operate the RPF to commercially produce molybdenum-99 (99Mo) usinglow-enriched uranium (LEU). The proposed 3.0 hectare (ha) RPF site is situated within Discovery RidgeResearch Park (Discovery Ridge), north of Discovery Ridge Drive in the city of Columbia, BooneCounty, Missouri. The site is situated in central Missouri, approximately 201 kilometer (kin) east ofKansas City and 201 km west of St. Louis. The site is 7.2 km south of U.S. Interstate 70, just north ofU.S. Highway 63.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a spatial network of ecoregions for theresearch and monitoring of ecosystems. Ecoregions are areas of relatively uniform ecological systemsthat have similar vegetation, climate, geology, and physiology. The REP site is located in the subregionClaypan Prairie of the Central Irregular Plains Ecoregion, which is characterized by well-developedclaypan soils located onl gently rolling topography (Chapman et al., 2002). Historically, the region wasmostly tall grass prairies with seasonally inundated wetlands (Nigh and Schroeder, 2002). AfterEuropean settlement, the region experienced a conversion to cropland and pasture because of the gentlyrolling topography and soil with little natural vegetation remaining (Chapman et al., 2002; Nigh andSchroeder, 2002).1.2 METHODOLOGYThe qualitative survey was performed by an inspector walking the surrounding properties of the RPF site.Photographed locations were recorded with a Trimble GeoXT geographic positioning system (GPS). Amap and photographs are included in Appendix A. Wildlife species identified are discussed in thefollowing section.1 CA SUPSRPF Surrounding Property Assessment2.0 QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENTAn inspector walked the perimeter of the man-made pond to the northeast of the property. The inspectorobserved Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana), Green Frog (Rana clam itans melanota) , Painted Turtle(Chrysemys picta beliji), and Northern Pintail (Anas acuta) within the northwestern pond. These speciesare common to wetland habitats throughout the state (MDOC, 2015).The inspector walked the wooded area south of the property to Gans Creek. The wooded area consistedof American Elm (Ulmus americana), Eastern Red Cedar (Junziperus virgin iana), Post Oak (Quercusstellate), Bitternut Hickory (Carya cordiformis) , and Shagbark Hickory (Carya ovate). At the time of thesurvey, Gans Creek was not flowing; however, the inspector did observe Creek Chub (Semotilusatromaculatus) in small pools within the creek channel. Blanchard's Cricket Frog (Acris crepitansblanchardi) and Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) were also observed in this area. Thesespecies are common in oak/hickory riparian habitat (MDOC, 2015).The inspector walked the perimeter of the man-made pond to the northwest of the property. The inspectorobserved Green Frog (Rana clam itans melanota), Canada Goose (Branta Canadensis), Northern Pintail(Anas acuta),.and Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buceinator). This pond was also stocked with largemouthbass, catfish, and crappie by the Missouri Department of Conservation for recreational purposes. Thesespecies are common to wetland habitats throughout the state (MDOC, 2015). The birds species alsoindicate that the surrounding water bodies may be used by migratory birds. Appendix A providesphotographs of the areas surveyed.2

.NW Rev. 0N'oAL Iea,: RPF Vegetation Assessment

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This assessment consists of quantitative and qualitative vegetation surveys that were conducted toevaluate the current state of vegetation on the proposed Northwest Medical Isotopes, LLC (NWMI)Radioisotope Production Facility (RPF) site. A quantitative vegetation assessment was conducted nearthe end of the growing season that collected frequency and density data.This report describes the findings from the quantitative and qualitative assessments conductedSeptember 30 and October 1, 2015. The information collected from the assessments is used to describethe current vegetation conditions of the site.1.1 BACKGROUNDNWMI proposes to construct and operate the RPF to commercially produce molybdenum 99 (99Mo) usinglow-enriched uranium (LEU). The proposed 3.0 hectare (ha) RPF site is situated within Discovery RidgeResearch Park (Discovery Ridge), north of Discovery Ridge Drive in the city of Columbia, BooneCounty, Missouri. The site is situated in central Missouri, approximately 201 kilometer (kin) east ofKansas City and 201 km west of St. Louis. The site is 7.2 km south of U.S. Interstate 70, just north ofU.S. Highway 63.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a spatial network of ecoregions for theresearch and monitoring of ecosystems. Ecoregions are areas of relatively uniform ecological systemsthat have similar vegetation, climate, geology, and physiology. The RFP site is located in the subregionClaypan Prairie of the Central Irregular Plains Ecoregion, which is characterized by well-developedclaypan soils located on gently rolling topography (Chapman et al., 2002). Historically, the region wasmostly tall grass prairies with seasonally inundated wetlands (Nigh and Schroeder, 2002). AfterEuropean settlement, the region experienced a conversion to cropland and pasture because of the gentlyrolling topography and soil with little natural vegetation remaining (Chapman et al., 2002; Nigh andSchroeder, 2002).The proposed site is located in a developed industrial park that was historically used as cultivated croplandand pasture. The current vegetation at the site consists of mostly grasses reminiscent of open pastureland.This report provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the vegetation currently on the site.1.2 METHODOLOGYThe quantitative assessment was performed with two randomly selected transects within the RPF site.At each location, general areas were identified for transects. The exact transect starting location was thenselected randomly by tossing a stake in the air. Each transect ending location was selected randomly bytossing a stake in the air and walking in the direction that the stake landed. Transect lengths were50 meter (in). Transect ends were recorded with a Trimnble GeoXT geographic positioning system (GPS).A map of the transect locations is included in Appendix A.After transects were defined, sample plots were established at 5 m intervals along each transect. Sampleplots were established with a 1 square meter (in2) (0.5 m x 2 m) plot frame quadrat. To ensure thatsample points wcrc sampled randomly, the starting point was chosen between 0 and 5 m, and then arandom number between 0 and 20 was used to determine the meters to be taken perpendicular (alternatingdirection every 5 m) to the transect. Photographs of each quadrat are provided in Appendix B. Withineach quadrat, data was collected for density and frequency.The qualitative assessment was performed in conjunction with the quantitative assessment. Thequalitative assessment involved identifying significant vegetation not specifically found in the plots. Thequalitative assessment was completed by an investigator walking the perimeter of the property and inrandom transects across the property.1 NWMINWMI-2015-RPT-002, Rev. 0RPF Vegetation Assessment2.0 QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENTEach transect was located using the method described in Section 1.0. Transect 1 was located on thesouthern portion and crossed the property from the east to the west. Transect 2 was located on thenorthern portion and crossed the property from the east to the north, diagonal from the Transect 1.Plant species encountered during the quantitative assessment consisted mostly of non-native plantstypically found in disturbed areas such as pastures and right-of-ways (MDOC, 2015). Photographs ofencountered species during the quantitative and qualitative assessments are provided in Appendix C.Encountered species that are not classified as non-native (White Heath Aster and Goldenrod) arecommonly found throughout prairie/oak forest plant communities (MDOC, 2015).Table 1 describes encountered species with frequencies of all of the species found on the site. Plantfrequency is the percent of occurrence within each transect and represents the species for the entire site.Table 1.

The qualitativeassessment was completed by an investigator walking the perimeter of the property and in randomtransects across the property. Photographs of the property were taken at various locations and areincluded in Appendix D, along with a map of the photographed locations. Photographs of notable plantsspecies taken throughout the assessment are provided in Appendix C.During the qualitative assessment, no Federal- or State-listed species were encountered. An AmericanSycamore (Platanus occidentalis) was encountered on the east side of the property. This tree species iscommonly found through the state of Missouri and in prairie/oak tree plant communities (MDOC, 2015).Other species encountered during the qualitative assessment and not the quantitative assessment includeCow Parsnip (Heracleaum lanatum), Partridge Pea (Cassia chamaecrista), and English Plantain (PlantagoLanceolata). Both of these species are common in prairie/oak tree plant communities (MDOC, 2015).While conducting the qualitative assessment, the inspector did encounter approximately nine EurasianCollared-Doves (Streptopelia decaocto). These birds are common and found statewide, typically usingpastures, trees, or powerlines to roost. No other wildlife were encountered onsite during the qualitative orquantitative assessment.4

Based on observations onsite and of the surrounding areas, thevegetation found onsite is not unique to this location, and these species are commonly found on othersites throughout the region that have been used as cattle pasture.5

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This assessment consists of a qualitative survey that was conducted to evaluate the current state of theproperties immediately surrounding the proposed Northwest Medical Isotopes, LLC (NWMI)Radioisotope Production Facility (RPF) site. The qualitative survey evaluated the surrounding vegetationcomrrunities, wetlands, and the presence of any wildlife.This report describes the findings from the qualitative survey conducted September 30 and October 1,2015. The information collected from the assessment is used to describe the current vegetation conditionsof the site.1.1 BACKGROUNDNWMI proposes to construct and operate the RPF to commercially produce molybdenum-99 (99Mo) usinglow-enriched uranium (LEU). The proposed 3.0 hectare (ha) RPF site is situated within Discovery RidgeResearch Park (Discovery Ridge), north of Discovery Ridge Drive in the city of Columbia, BooneCounty, Missouri. The site is situated in central Missouri, approximately 201 kilometer (kin) east ofKansas City and 201 km west of St. Louis. The site is 7.2 km south of U.S. Interstate 70, just north ofU.S. Highway 63.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a spatial network of ecoregions for theresearch and monitoring of ecosystems. Ecoregions are areas of relatively uniform ecological systemsthat have similar vegetation, climate, geology, and physiology. The REP site is located in the subregionClaypan Prairie of the Central Irregular Plains Ecoregion, which is characterized by well-developedclaypan soils located onl gently rolling topography (Chapman et al., 2002). Historically, the region wasmostly tall grass prairies with seasonally inundated wetlands (Nigh and Schroeder, 2002). AfterEuropean settlement, the region experienced a conversion to cropland and pasture because of the gentlyrolling topography and soil with little natural vegetation remaining (Chapman et al., 2002; Nigh andSchroeder, 2002).1.2 METHODOLOGYThe qualitative survey was performed by an inspector walking the surrounding properties of the RPF site.Photographed locations were recorded with a Trimble GeoXT geographic positioning system (GPS). Amap and photographs are included in Appendix A. Wildlife species identified are discussed in thefollowing section.1 CA SUPSRPF Surrounding Property Assessment2.0 QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENTAn inspector walked the perimeter of the man-made pond to the northeast of the property. The inspectorobserved Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana), Green Frog (Rana clam itans melanota) , Painted Turtle(Chrysemys picta beliji), and Northern Pintail (Anas acuta) within the northwestern pond. These speciesare common to wetland habitats throughout the state (MDOC, 2015).The inspector walked the wooded area south of the property to Gans Creek. The wooded area consistedof American Elm (Ulmus americana), Eastern Red Cedar (Junziperus virgin iana), Post Oak (Quercusstellate), Bitternut Hickory (Carya cordiformis) , and Shagbark Hickory (Carya ovate). At the time of thesurvey, Gans Creek was not flowing; however, the inspector did observe Creek Chub (Semotilusatromaculatus) in small pools within the creek channel. Blanchard's Cricket Frog (Acris crepitansblanchardi) and Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) were also observed in this area. Thesespecies are common in oak/hickory riparian habitat (MDOC, 2015).The inspector walked the perimeter of the man-made pond to the northwest of the property. The inspectorobserved Green Frog (Rana clam itans melanota), Canada Goose (Branta Canadensis), Northern Pintail(Anas acuta),.and Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buceinator). This pond was also stocked with largemouthbass, catfish, and crappie by the Missouri Department of Conservation for recreational purposes. Thesespecies are common to wetland habitats throughout the state (MDOC, 2015). The birds species alsoindicate that the surrounding water bodies may be used by migratory birds. Appendix A providesphotographs of the areas surveyed.2
