PMY <br /> waterbodies. However, the pond is less than 500 feet northeast of the Arkansas River and the river may <br /> overtop its banks during flood events and/or be connected by groundwater seepage. <br /> 3.4.2 Wetlands <br /> Twelve wetland areas were identified within the study area (Figure 2; Table 3-3). The wetland areas were <br /> grouped based on hydrological source (e.g., Arkansas River, Excelsior Ditch, Unnamed Pond 1). Multiple <br /> wetland classifications may be included in each wetland area (e.g., palustrine scrub shrub [PSS], palustrine <br /> emergent [PEM]) (Cowardin, et al., 1979). In general, vegetation, soils, and hydrology were similar between <br /> each of the wetland areas grouped by hydrologic source. Therefore, the wetland determination data forms <br /> completed generally represent each wetland as grouped by hydrologic source, rather than individual wetlands <br /> where completed. Reference pits were excavated throughout each wetland to confirm wetland boundaries or <br /> the presence of hydric soils. The following sections discuss each wetland area. <br /> Table 3-3 Summary of Wetlands Delineated in the Study Area <br /> ... <br /> Arkansas River <br /> Wetland Complex, <br /> includes Arkansas <br /> Wetland I (WL-1) River,the Abandoned 38.2647280 -104.4706420 PSS 68.56 <br /> Channel of Arkansas <br /> River, and Saint Charles <br /> River <br /> Wetland 2 (WL-2) Excelsior Ditch 38.2689480 -104.4823430 PEM 0.01 <br /> Wetland 3 (WL-3) Excelsior Ditch 38.2659810 -104.4930970 PEM <0.01 <br /> Wetland 4 (WL-4) Excelsior Ditch 38.2651380 -104.4932430 PEM 0.09 <br /> Wetland 5 (WL-5) Excelsior Ditch 38.2641200 -104.4931030 PEM 0.01 <br /> Wetland 6 (WL-6) Excelsior Ditch 38.2635080 -104.4938900 PEM 0.01 <br /> Wetland 7 (WL-7) Excelsior Ditch 38.2620810 -104.494601° PEM <0.01 <br /> Wetland 8 (WL-8) Excelsior Ditch 38.2614340 -104.4943790 PEM 0.03 <br /> Wetland 9 (WL-9) Thunderbird Lake 38.2609800 -104.4926230 PSS 0.04 <br /> Wetland 10 <br /> Unnamed Pond 1 38.2622340 -104.4895960 PSS 0.06 <br /> (WL-10) <br /> Wetland I I <br /> (WL-11) <br /> None, Isolated 38.2665240 -104.4935780 PSS 0.05 <br /> Wetland 12 <br /> None, Isolated 38.2624630 -104.4930600 PSS 0.38 <br /> (WL-12) <br /> 'Approximate central location in World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) Decimal Degrees <br /> 2 Cowardin,et al., 1979 <br /> PEM=Palustrine Emergent, PSS=Palustrine Scrub Shrub <br /> Biological Resources Report <br /> Thunderbird Property <br /> Pueblo County, Colorado Page 9 <br />
