<br />III. PROJECT GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND ACTIVITIES <br />A. TASKS, IJIILESTONES/PRODUCTS AND COMPLETION DATES <br />Task Milestones/Products Completion Dates <br />1. Complete final restoration design with Stream Corridor Restoration Plan was <br />Restoration team advisors completed. All permits and letters of June 2004 <br /> a royal received <br />2. Information sharing with stakeholders Informed public through newsletter, <br />over the 2 years of Phase 2 reports, and public forum. September 2004 <br />3. Develop construction plans and Construction, bioengineering, and <br />prepare restoration sites for work vegetation plans were completed. September 2004 <br /> Schedule of work was completed. <br /> Volunteers were trained. <br />4. Mitigate storm water runoff on the Completed 25% of water bars in project <br />road using uvater bars, culverts, settling area resulting in improved storm water September 2004 <br />basins, & check dams runoff and reduced sediment loadin . <br />5. Improve riparian vegetation along 3 Revegetated stream buffer on 46% of <br />mile stretch of stream buffer with willows project areas resulting in reduced September 2004 <br />and natives cies sediment loadin . <br />6. Stabilize eroded stream banks using Stabilized stream banks on 36% of <br />bioengineering techniques project areas resulting in reduced September 2004 <br /> sediment loadin . <br />7. Redirect :>tream flowing onto the road Rebuilt streambank at Creek Crossing <br />by rebuildinlt banks returning stream to natural channel. September 2004 <br />8. Water qu,~lity monitoring above and Completed and received approval for <br />below project's 6 reaches Sampling and Analysis Plan. Pre- September 2004 <br /> restoration monitoring was completed. <br />9. Characterize sources of metals Tracer study and report was completed <br />loading by the University of Colorado which September 2004 <br /> identified sources of metals loadin . <br />10. Evaluates projects goals, objectives Project goals, objectives, and tasks <br />and tasks were evaluated for project year 2003 - September 2004 <br /> 2004. <br />B. EVALUATION OF GOAL ACHIEVEMENT <br />The goals oif the James Creek Restoration Project were achieved: <br />o Redcace the amount of sediment loading sites into James Creek through the use of BMPs <br />o Improve habitat effectiveness for aquatic life in the stream and wildlife along the corridor <br />o Stabilize streambanks to prevent further erosion and downstream flooding <br />During project year 2003-2004 the James Creek Watershed Initiative implemented the Stream <br />Corridor Re:~toration Plan using Best Management Practices to reduce sediment loading into <br />James Creek and improve the function of the riparian corridor. Storm water runoff was mitigated <br />on 25% of the projects, revegetation was completed on 46% of the project areas, streambanks <br />were stabilized on 36% of the project areas, and the streambank at the Creek Crossing was <br />rebuilt redirecting the stream back into its natural channel. This work will result in improved <br />habitat for a~~uatic life as well as prevention of further erosion and downstream flooding. <br />4 <br /> <br />
