The Affected Environment. This sub-section presents a brief description of the physical, biological, and cultural environment for the affected area sites located in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Creek watershed in Prince ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Virginia. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Prince ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County has a total area of 265.12 square miles, of which approximately 17 square miles is water (2018). Prince ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County’s altitude ranges from about sea level to 175 feet above sea level. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Creek watershed, a tributary to the ▇▇▇▇▇ River, encompasses < 40 square miles. The affected area sites are made-up of two tracts totaling approximately 20 acres of wetlands. Additional acres totaling approximately 289 acres, within the two tracts include riparian protection areas and uplands. These sites are immediately adjacent to the ▇▇▇▇▇ River National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The ▇▇▇▇▇ River NWR is 4,393 acres of forest and wetland habitats managed for the protection and conservation of native flora and fauna. Specifically the property was established in 1991 to protect the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and other species of conservation concern. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Creek forms 4 miles of the NWR’s western boundary. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Creek watershed would be affected by proposed acquisition as it would allow for instream habitat improvements, riparian improvements, and water quality benefits by transitioning upland uses. Additionally public benefits include wildlife observation opportunities and potential fishing access.
