<br />. <br /> <br /> <br />S:ewardship Partners Work <br />Plan for 2002 - 2003 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Cherry Creek Stewardship Partners. A Watershed Approach <br /> <br />1. Clearing House for Watershed Activities and Preliminary Watershed Assessment <br />Coordination <br /> <br />Partners would serve as the host for a task force comprised of representatives of all ofthe land use <br />jurisdictions and resource management agencies to coordinate on watershed activities and <br />assessments at a reconnaissance level, in the Cherry Creek stream corridor. The objective is to <br />coordinate with existing efforts that are focusing on specific assessment activities that relate to <br />particular mandates. Current efforts include the Cherry Creek Basin Water Quality Authority (the <br />Authority) 2003 Watershed Plan, the UDFCD Cherry Creek Corridor Master Planning project, the <br />Trust for Public Land Great Outdoor Colorado Legacy Planning Project, and others. Through this <br />coordination process, the Partners would work to ensure cross-agency coordination for best <br />possible information collection and utilization. The Partners would work to get that information <br />out to the greatest number of stakeholders. Efforts on establishing a baseline characterization of <br />the stream corridor, compiling and integrating existing data sources, and developing a GIS <br />coverage for more detailed evaluation of specific sites will be ongoing. The Partners could apply <br />for grant and foundation funding to complete the work. <br /> <br />2. Annnal Watershed Conference/Periodic Forums <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Partners will continue to spearhead the organization and execution of an annual conference. This <br />includes organizing and putting on the fall 2002 and 2003 conferences. In addition, Partners will <br />host periodic forums focused on specific topics of special interest. The subject matter, nature, and <br />occurrence of the forums would be dictated by circumstances. Regular meetings of Partners also <br />would provide an opportunity for exchange of information among participants. Partners proposes <br />to host a Watershed and Development Roundtable addressing the safe drinking water Source Water <br />Assessment process. The goal will be to bring together the many drinking water providers in the <br />basin to coordinate on the contaminant inventory and risk assessment phases. In addition, the <br />Partners will host a Smart Growth Forum and a Noxious Weed Stewardship Forum in 2003. <br /> <br />. <br />
