It includes Wetland 3 <br />(east bank) and Wetland C (west bank). The total area of wetlands within this reach is <br />9.1 acres. PiE/P and P/SS/BLD wetland communities characterize both areas. <br /> <br />3.10.1.4 Reach 4 <br /> <br />Reach 4 lies between Cedar Creek and several islands associated with Wetland 7. <br />Wetlands 5 and 6 occur on the east bank and Wetlands D and E occur on the west bank. <br />Wetland 4 is associated with Cedar Creek, an east-bank tributary of the Uncompahgre <br />River, and is characterized as a P/SS/BLD wetland community. Wetland 5 is classified <br />primarily as a P/E/P type. Wetlands 6, D, and E contain both P/SS/BLD and PiE/P <br />wetland classifications. This reach contains approximately 57.9 acres of wetland <br />communities. Atypical situations occur in Wetland 6 and Wetland E which comprise <br />approximately 58.0 percent (33.6 acres) of the total wetland area in this reach. <br /> <br />3.10.1.5 Reach 5 <br /> <br />Reach 5 includes plateaus on the west bank and extends from islands associated with <br />Wetland 7 to an unnamed tributary located south of Spring Creek. Wetland 7 (east bank) <br />and Wetland F area located in this reach for a total of 16.6 acres. Disturbed areas occur <br />in Wetland 7 (4.2 acres) while both Wetlands exhibit PiE/P and P/SS/BLD wetland <br />characteristics. <br /> <br />3.10.1.6 Reach 6 <br /> <br />Reach 6 extends from an unnamed tributary at the end of Reach 5 to Spring Creek. <br />Wetland 8 is located along the east bank and Wetland G is along the west bank. Both <br />areas have P/SS/BLD and PiE/P characteristics. A small sandbar comprises less than 2 <br />percent of Wetland 8 while an extensive wooded/riparian zone lies between the Wetland <br />G and agricultural fields. A total of 24.5 acres of wetlands occur within this reach. <br /> <br />3.10.1.7 Reach 7 <br /> <br />Reach 7 includes Wetland 9 on the east bank and Wetland H on the west bank. It extends <br />from Spring Creek on the south end to the Ironstone Canal diversion site. P/E/P and <br />P/SS/BLD communities exist in Wetland 9 with nearly 26 percent being disturbed by <br />various land use practices. Wetland H consists primarily of P/SS/BLD communities with <br />some P/EiP communities. This reach contains 48.7 acres of wetlands. <br /> <br />3.1 0.1.8 Reach 8 <br /> <br />Reach 8 extends from the Ironstone Canal to the East Canal diversion site near Olathe <br />and includes Wetland 10 on the east bank and'Wetland I on the west bank.
