Scope of Work <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board 2007 - 2008 <br />Upper Ski Creek Watershed Erosion Control and Restoration Project <br />Rocky Mountain Field Institute <br />The Upper Ski C,t•eek Basin Erosion C,oy~t~•ol as~ld Restoration Pt•oject will stabilize and <br />mitigate erosion and sedimentation impacts in the Ski Creels headwater area on Pikes <br />Peale that has been severely affected by unprotected runoff discharged from the Pilces <br />Peak Highway. This project represents the first phase of a multi-year project to <br />completely stabilize the Ski Creek Basin. Approximately 1500' of the main Ski Creek <br />channel and 1050' of tributary gullies in the upper watershed will be stabilized during <br />this phase of the project. The project will utilize engineered and bio-engineered structures <br />in conjunction with vegetation prescriptions to stabilize and reduce bank erosion, <br />improve habitat for aquatic life, and decrease sediment transport into the South Catamount <br />Reservoir. Techiuques to be applied in this project have proven effective in reducing <br />sediment transport within the North Crystal Creek Basin on Pikes Peak. A detailed <br />monitoring and evaluation plan has been developed and will aid in designing future <br />restoration plans. Completion of this project will advance the CWCB goal of conserving <br />and protecting Colorado's water resources. <br />Summary of Tasks and Associated Costs <br />Budget Item, Described by Task Total Cost Funding Funding <br /> Provided by Provided by <br /> CWPF Others <br />Taskl:Preprojectpreparationinchrding $32.727 $3,500 $29.227 <br />project p~°oposal and monitoring plan, <br />permitting, project engineering and surveying, <br />preparation of project site, and collection of <br />construction materials <br />Task 2: Project implementation including $66,145 $9,000 $57,145 <br />construction ofall engineered and <br />bioengineered struclzrres, restoration ofgullies, <br />and revegetation and stabilization of~channel <br />banks and impacted areas. <br />Task 3: Post project activities including the $16,606 $2500 $14,106 <br />establishment of monitoring plots, project re- <br />survey, data collection, native seed collection, <br />and completion ~f final report. <br />Total Budget $115,478 $15,000 $100,478 <br />Additional funds (cash and in-kind are being provided by: <br />• Pilces Peale Fund $52,458 <br />• National Forest Foundation $35,000 <br />• City of Colorado Springs $L500 <br />• Community volunteer groups (Sierra Club, Sanborn Camp, Odyssey School) $11,520 <br />
