<br /> SUMMARY
<br /> The Program objective is to provide funding for watershed restoration studies and projects. Special
<br /> consideration is given to projects that reduce flood hazards, protect infrastructure, and increase benefits for
<br /> water supply. Past projects successfully completed with aid from the Construction Fund include channel
<br /> stabilization and restoration on Clear Creek near Golden, riparian re-vegetation on the Eagle River in Edwards,
<br /> and channel restoration and diversion reconstruction on the San Miguel River. Program funding has also been
<br /> used in conjunction with funding from the Water Quality Control Division to develop a Measureable Results
<br /> Program (MRP). Studies and projects resulting from this program can have far reaching benefits for water
<br /> supply (e.g. SWSI), flood protection, forest restoration, enhancement of aesthetic and environmental quality,
<br /> recreation, and increased economic benefit. The CWCB has not had access to a regular and reliable source of
<br /> funding for this Program in past years. Instead, special allocations on an annual basis from Severance Tax
<br /> and Construction Fund investments have provided support for the Program. The Program has funded 33
<br /> 0 projects since the first grant cycle in January 2009. Total project funding exceeds $1,000,000. The projects
<br /> have leveraged $5.5 for every $1 contributed by the Program. Twenty-three of the thirty-three projects funded
<br /> have been mapped with focus areas identified in the Non-Consumptive Needs Assessment. The Program is
<br /> intended for statewide benefit. The map below displays projects funded since 2009.
