<br />BLM SCHEDULE OF PROPOSED ACTIONS <br /> <br />San Luis Resource Area <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />This proposal is being submitted hy BLM to Colorado's Governor. s Energy Office as a clean water project. <br />Clean water and healthy watersheds form the basis of resilient ecosystems, benefiting not only public land <br />values but also adjacent communities. BLM gives its highest priority to protecting riparian and aquatic <br />habitat and restoring shrub and grassland habitats that are integral to overall watershed health. <br /> <br />There are four phases to this project. In Phase I, BLM proposes to relocate six-tenths of a mile of Ford <br />Creek Road (#5270) from Ford Creek flood prone area and creek side to an adjacent terrace. In Phase II, <br />another six-tenths mile of road will be improved to reduce excessive sediment and water runoff into Ford <br />Creek. After the new road construction is complete, Phase III stream enhancement projects will be <br />executed to put the stream back into its original charmel and stabilize banks at locations where the old road <br />forced the streams out of its channel and into the opposite hill side. Finally, outside the scope of this <br />proposal, Phase IV will include monitoring for noxious and invasive weeds. Additionally, annual <br />maintenance will be applied until equilibrium has been reached and the stream is once again in balance <br />with the sediment and water being supplied, and there is no further threat of a noxious weed invasion. <br /> <br />Contact STEVE SANCHEZ, Saguache Field Office, (719) 655-2547. <br /> <br />North Half <br />Saguache Field Office <br />6525 State Hwy 114 <br />Saguache, CO 81149 <br />Voice: (719) 655-2547 <br />TDD: (719) 655-2547 ext 35 <br />
