<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />burned lands; improve wildlife habitat and streambank restoration through planting willows, trees, and <br />other vegetation; facilitate community fire planning/defensible space implementation; assist with <br />implementation of weed control; and undertaking educational initiatives designed to improve public <br />understanding of fire, forest health, watershed concepts, and nonpoint source pollution control. <br />3. Big Thompson Watershed Forum -- Mapping and Analysis proposal to develop spatial data on the location <br />and extent of impervious surface cover and the current extent of sanitation district and municipal <br />wastewater service boundaries. The end result of the project will be improved understanding of specific <br />conditions related to water quality, which will be a valuable tool in stormwater planning and predicting the <br />areas within the watershed that are most vulnerable to water quality degradation and locating sources of <br />contamination. <br />4. North Fork River Improvement Association - Reconstruction of an irrigation ditch diversion on the North <br />Fork Gunnison River to eliminate annual channel disruption by bulldozers, which is a common practice in <br />the area. This project will improve water conservation and delivery efficiency while delivering full <br />entitlement of water. The project will also increase stream flows, allow for fish migration and safe passage <br />of recreational boats, and enhance aquatic habitat. <br />5. Roaring Fork Conservancy - Roaring Fork Watershed Stream Flow Survey Project will conduct a full <br />survey of the watershed's water diversions and storage facilities, water rights, stream flow issues and water <br />shortages of streams and rivers, current instream flow protections, influence of out-of-basin calls, and <br />opportunities for increasing streamflows. The project's goal is to develop an integrated GIS database tool <br />that will greatly improve the ability of the Conservancy, in collaboration with local and regional interests <br />and governmental agencies, to respond to instream flow issues, to proactively specify and pursue legal and <br />physical approaches for achieving sustainable streamflows, and to protect and enhance riparian and aquatic <br />habitat. <br />6. Eagle River Watershed Protection Fund - will implement a recommended action identified in Eagle River <br />Watershed Plan (1996) with the goal of developing a community supported, science based inventory and <br />assessment of approximately 110 river miles that identifies and prioritizes segments of the River riparian <br />corridor for restoration and/or preservation. <br />
