<br />Water Supply Finance and Construction Program - Project Data <br /> <br />Grantee: Colorado Water Conservation Board County: Statewide <br />Project Name: Colorado Stream Restoration and Flood Mitigation Program <br />Project Type: Flood Protection Program Planning and Engineering <br />Drainage Basin: All River Basins in Colorado Water Source: N/ A <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Total Project Cost: $400,0000 <br />Type of Grantee: State Govermnent <br />CWCB Non-Reimbursable Inv.: $75,000 <br /> <br />Funding Source: CWCB Const. Fund <br />Median Household income: Nt A <br />Interest Rate: N/A Term: N/A <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br />The impact area of the Stream Restoration and Flood Mitigation Program is potentially any watershed within the <br />state of Colorado. The Project objective is to provide planning and engineering services for stream restoration <br />stndieslprojects as well as matching dollars for partnering with federal agencies and local governments in the <br />development of Flood Mitigation stndiestprojects. Without the availability of investments from the CWCB <br />Construction Fund, there is not a reliable source of consistent funding for this program which has been wildly <br />successful for recent projects in Colorado (i.e. Rio Grande headwaters restoration, Alamosa River restoration, <br />Arkansas River multi-objective stndy, Fountain Creek watershed stndy, and others). This fund can also work in <br />harmony with the newly created Watershed Protection Fund (State Tax checkoff item) as appropriate. Stndies <br />and projects resulting from this program can have far reaching benefits for water supply, flood protection, <br />enhancement of aesthetic and environmental quality, recreation, and increased economic benefit. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Project Impact Area <br /> <br />. <br />
