Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
PLANNING ACTIVITIES: AT THE REQUEST OF THE COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD, THE BTWC LED A PLANNING PROJECT TO DEVELOP A 20 YEAR STREAM MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR A KEY 10 MILE SEGMENT OF THE BIG THOMPSON RIVER. THE PROJECT INCLUDED AN EXTENSIVE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE SEGMENT ALONG WITH PLANNING/FEEDBACK SESSIONS WITH LANDOWNERS AND STAKEHOLDERS.
IMPLEMENTATION ACTIVITIES: THE CAMERON PEAK FOREST FIRE BURNED SO HOT THAT THE SOIL BECAME HYDROPHOBIC WITH MINIMAL ABILITY TO ABSORB WATER. IN ADDITION TO INCREASED RISK OF FLOODING, THE HYDROPHOBIC SOIL AND DESTROYED VEGETATION RUNNING INTO THE RIVER CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH WATER QUALITY. THE TYPICAL REMEDIATION APPROACH IS TO COVER THE SOIL WITH A RECOMMENDED MULCH. SOME OF THIS WORK CAN BE DONE ON THE GROUND BUT MUCH OF IT OVER EXTREME TERRAIN MUST BE DROPPED FROM HELICOPTERS. MULTIPLE PRIVATE AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THIS MULTI-YEAR PROJECT WITH THE BTWC PROVIDING LEADERSHIP AND COORDINATION.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH ACTIVITIES: THE GOAL OF THIS OUTREACH PROGRAM IS TO WORK WITH LANDOWNERS WITH PROPERTY ADJACENT TO U.S. FOREST SERVICE LAND TO DETERMINE THEIR WILLINGNESS TO LEVERAGE USFS FIRE MITIGATION PROGRAMS ON THEIR LAND.
