EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The primary objective of the Clean Water Act is to "maintain and restore the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters," which includes wetlands. Wetlands in Colorado have not only been lost from the landscape but have and continue to be impacted or degraded by multiple human activities associated with water use, transportation, recreation, mineral extraction, grazing, urbanization, and other land uses.
