Matching Funds <br />~ SB179 Statewide Account funding will be fully matched through Natural Resources Damage (NRD) <br />reparations from Summitville Mine <br />~ Together with CDPHE/319 funding, the SB179 Statewide Account will leverage the full $500,000 NRD <br />amount <br /> <br />h. Demonstrated Need <br />~ NRD presents a unique opportunity to address the current conditions <br />~ Structural project will directly improve water quality & delivery in the Alamosa River watershed <br />~ Prepares River for increased agricultural use and wildlife habitat when in-stream flow is restored <br />~ Few other matching sources for this work are available. Many focus on reestablishing species, <br />once water quality and flow have already been restored <br />While the 2007 CDPHE 319 funding meets 4/5 of the full match requirement, to complete the proposed reach of <br />this second phase of restoration work and the $1.183 million budget, 100% match is required. <br /> <br />Meeting Water Management Goals and Objectives and Identified Water Needs <br />i. Water Activity not fully funded helps to complete needs assessment <br />~ Alamosa River is identified as a Priority 2 project area in CO NPS 2007 Grant Proposal Priorities <br />~ Sedimentation from erosion identified in 1989 Colorado Non-point Assessment Report <br />~ Project based on findings of 2005 Alamosa River Watershed Restoration Master Plan, solutions towards <br />a healthier watershed <br />~ Completes 5.5-mile reach of stream bank restoration (Gunbarrel Road to County Road 10, including the <br />proposed reach), Tier I., Project Type no. 1, project in the 2005 A/amosa River Watershed Restoration <br />Master Plan <br /> <br />o. Water Activity helps sustain agriculture, and open space, or meets environmental or recreational <br />needs <br />Bank stabilization and more efficient flow delivery will: <br />~ help sustain the diversity of the ecology of the riparian corridor <br />~ improve water delivery for irrigation to adjacent lands <br />~ support plant and animal species <br />~ saturate the riverbanks <br />~ contribute significantly to the recharge of the local aquifer <br /> <br />s. Activity is complimentary to previous CWCS investment <br />~ As Phase 2, project completes full 5.5 mile reach prioritized for restoration <br />~ Funds will ensure previous $450,000 funding investment brings most benefit to watershed with lasting effects <br />by realizing overall project goals <br /> <br />7 <br />
