Crystal River Watershed Improvement Project <br /> Pre-proposal submitted by: <br /> Northwest Colorado Council of Governments <br /> 1. Overview <br /> 1.1 Water Resource Description <br /> 1.1. 1 The Crystal River downstream from Redstone, Colorado is <br /> the resource targeted for measurable water quality improvement by <br /> the proposed watershed improvement project. Coal Creek, a <br /> tributary to the Crystal River, is the primary source of sediment <br /> from eroding Mancos shales and the focus of this proposed <br /> nonpoint source grant application. <br /> 1.1. 2 The Crystal River is classified for the protection of <br /> the following beneficial uses: Class 1 cold water aquatic life, <br /> primary contact recreation, water supply, and agriculture. <br /> Coal Creek is classified: Class 1 cold water aquatic <br /> life, secondary contact recreation, water supply, and <br /> agriculture. <br /> 1.1. 3 Attached is a 7.5 minute map that shows the Coal Creek <br /> basin (map name = Placita Quadrangle) and a portion of the <br /> Redstone Quadrangle to show the confluence with the Crystal <br /> River. The map is marked with the watershed area, the active <br /> mining area, and the location of the proposed in-channel <br /> improvements. <br /> 1.1.4 Coal Basin is a 27 square mile watershed located in the <br /> White River National Forest. Coal Creek is the primary stream in <br /> the basin and is tributary to the Crystal River near Redstone. <br /> Approximately 14 miles downstream is the confluence of the <br /> Crystal and Roaring Fork Rivers at the Town of Carbondale. <br /> Geologically, Coal Basin is a large, deeply eroded, <br /> elliptical anticlinal structure. Many sedimentary rock formations <br /> outcrop in this drainage. Coal Creek and its associated drainages <br /> are located in highly unstable Mancos Shale bedrock formations. <br /> Topographically, the basin is a steep and often <br /> restricted valley rising from Redstone (elevation about 7200 <br /> feet) to Huntsman Mountain (elevation 11,786 feet) . The <br /> watershed is surrounded by jagged rock ridges. Land ownership in <br /> Coal Basin is primarily public; ownership of the area of the <br /> proposed project is Mid-Continent Resources, Inc. Land use is <br /> mostly National Forest with a permitted underground coal mining <br /> operation and associated haul roads, spoil piles, and drainage <br /> systems occupying approximately 2% of the land area. <br /> 1. 1.5 Coal Creek, at the confluence with the Crystal River, <br /> is a 5th order stream (Sharp's procedure) . The Crystal River is <br /> loth order below the Coal Creek confluence and 21st order at the <br /> confluence with the Roaring Fork River. These Rivers are <br /> headwaters to the Colorado River. Estimated average annual <br /> discharge from Coal Creek is 24 ,000 acre-feet. <br /> 1.1. 6 The Crystal River Valley is an unique agricultural <br /> community. Colorado Highway 133 parallels the river providing <br /> scenic access for fishing and other water recreation as well as a <br /> link to some of Colorado's most interesting historical mining <br />
