Feasibility Study for the Plaza Project — Phase 2: McDonald Ditch Implementation Project
of these projects was the Plaza Planning Project — Phase 1(Phase i) in the Sevenmile Plaza area
of Rio Grande County. Phase i was administered by the partnership with the McDD. The
RGHRP worked with stakeholders to determine the primary issues in the area, identify
remediation methods, and develop an implementation plan (The Plaza Plan) to improve the
health and function of the Rio Grande in the Sevenmile Plaza area. The identified issues include
streambank instability in the 2.8 -mile project reach, a degraded wetland, and aging, hazardous,
and inefficient diversion structures. The proposed project, Phase 2, is the first Phase of
implementation of the Plaza Plan.
