That. 151 00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:15,800 There is a canal. 152 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,700 And that canal comes along here. 153 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,100 And I don't know if these are. 154 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:22,600 Just. Trailing by. Cows or if this is. 155 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,600 Just kind of getting this. 156 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,700 Water over. To here. 157 00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:25,600 And they just. 158 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,800 Irrigate, flood irrigate this meadow. 159 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,000 But, that's. 160 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Some of the infrastructure. 161 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,600 There's also a fence that comes along. 162 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,100 You can basically make out the fence line all along there. 163 00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:40,700 All right. 164 00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:43,700 So, conditions, 165 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,900 I mapped out the inactive. 166 00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:48,700 Part of. The floodplain. 167 00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:50,700 Just based off of objective. 168 00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:51,400 Evidence of what. 169 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,400 It looked like. Was 170 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,200 what was flooding. Now, 171 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,600 use some vegetation indicators that use, what looked like. 172 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,300 Evidence of flooding on this floodplain. 173 00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:05,300 You can see a little bit when you zoom in on this. 174 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,800 Is this perfect? 175 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,900 But I think it's reasonably defensible. 176 00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:11,000 What did I come up with? 177 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,700 Well, I came up with when I mapped traced out the active channel in blue. 178 00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:16,800 That's about four acres. 179 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,800 So it's about 5% of the valley bottom. 180 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,300 I marked the inactive portion. 181 00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:23,100 That's 41. 182 00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:27,900 So, 41 plus four is 45. 183 00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:28,900 Subtract from 82. 184 00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:30,300 I get my 37 acres. 185 00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:31,100 So the. 186 00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:33,900 Proportion of the valley, that's.
