Their coverage of labor news was unparalleled... but their comics page left something to be desired.
Regulators of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District's Arizona-Nevada Area Office performed wetland delineation on a portion of Granite Reef Recreation Area, in the Tonto National Forest near Mesa, Arizona, July 11.
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act describes wetlands as, "Areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas."
Much of what actually determines a wetland comes down to the soil characteristics; the texture, color and even its smell.
"We use a soil color book in our investigation," said Leanne Van Tuyl, regulatory project manager. "We dig samples at different locations in the study area to assess the soil. The color can establish whether or not it is indicative of a wetland."
Simply stated, wetlands are areas where frequent or the prolonged presence of water impacts what type of soil forms, what plants grow and even what wildlife inhabit the area.
"The Forest Service wants to remove the invasive species that block access to the Lower Salt River," said Van Tuyl. "My role as a Regulator is to help our partners find the balance between protection and enhancement of aquatic resources while allowing for reasonable development."
Removing invasive species would allow native vegetation to return while increasing recreational access along the river.
What a treat to sit in an actual locomotive engineer's station! They set up the system through an Epic interface so the screen is controlled through the braking and throttle controls. You can even blow the horn (which I did dutifully at a crossing) and ring the bell!
Soldiers from the Bowling Green-based 189th Engineer Company, 276th Engineer Battalion, 91st Troop Command recover elements of the Dry Support Bridge system June 19, 2013, at Fort Pickett during the unit's two-week annual training. Approximately 30 Soldiers from the company completed a two-week certification course in April taught by representatives from WFEL, the bridge manufacturer, and those Soldiers conducted training for the rest of the company during AT. The new bridge takes less personnel and less time to set up than the previous system, and the company also has a float bridge system in their inventory.

More than 80 Michigan Army National Guardsmen from the 1433rd Engineer Group based in August, Mich., are welcomed home after a 10-month deployment to Afghanistan. Maj. Gen.
