James Peak Wilderness Water Quality Monitoring Approving Roundtable(S) Basin Account Request(S)1 Metro Roundtable $20,771 To: Emily Hunt, Metro Round Table From: Maya MacHamer, Boulder Watershed Collective Date: March 15, 2021 Re: Proposal description for James Peak Wilderness Area Water Quality Monitoring _____________________________________________________________________________________ The Boulder Watershed Collective (BWC) intends to submit a grant application to the Metro Round Table for James Peak Wilderness Area Water Quality Monitoring in the amount of $29,271. In 2020 the BWC (formerly the Fourmile Watershed Coalition) received funding from the SPBRT for water quality monitoring above and below high priority recreation areas in and around the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area in the Boulder Creek watershed. The project was in partnership with the city of Boulder, Boulder Ranger District (BRD) and Trout Unlimited to collect baseline water quality samples in smaller tributaries to monitor whether recreation and camping were negatively affecting water quality in streams as a result of human waste impacts. 2020 sampling indicated that some areas had elevated E coli levels and that there was a correlation with camping at specific sites. However, it was inconclusive whether E coli levels were human caused. Recreational use in headwater areas increased significantly due to the pandemic. Observations of public land use and impacts in 2020 reaffirmed that collecting baseline data in source water areas that are also popular recreational areas is critical to future protection. In 2021 the BWC intends on expanding our program into the James Peak Wilderness Area. The BRD reported that this area experienced significant increases in recreation in 2020 because there is no permit system, ample parking, it is easily accessible from the metro area and provides numerous trails provide around the Continental Divide. The James Peak area is a source water area for Denver Water who provide drinking water to 1.5 million people on the Front Range. For the expanded sampling we will be partnering with the Indian Peaks Wilderness Alliance who have volunteers to assist with sample collection and stream flow measurement. Requested funds will allow for geographical expansion, the cost of additional water sample lab analysis and reporting, and staff time for sample collection and volunteer management. This project addresses multiple MRT priorities including: 1) protect & enhance environmental and recreational attributes, 2) manage risks of climate change, and 3) effective communications and outreach. Increased water quality data which targets small order streams will inform management planning for the protection of environmental and recreational attributes. The headwaters of South Boulder Creek are identified in the 2010 SWSI South Platte Focus Area Map as a recreational focus area. Better understanding stream flow fluctuations of headwater tributaries as a result of climate change will aid in managing risks associated with shifting weather patterns. The integration of a reputable volunteer organization like the Indian Peaks Wilderness Alliance and data collection through a local watershed group like the Boulder Watershed Collective contributes to effective communications and outreach which support the larger objectives of the Roundtables and the Colorado Water Plan. Place based programs like this are designed to engage and educate the community and to generate a lasting baseline of public awareness and support for the protection of water resources, forests and responsible recreation. The proposed project will take place from June through September in 2022. Tasks include site prioritization, collection and analysis of water quality samples, stream flow measurement and volunteer training, engagement and education. Thank you for the opportunity to present this project. Please contact me with any questions.

  • COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail
    CONTINENTAL DIVIDE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL DAY & OVERNIGHT HIKES: COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail THE CENTENNIAL STATE The Colorado Rockies are the quintessential CDT experience! The CDT traverses 800 miles of these majestic and challenging peaks dotted with abandoned homesteads and ghost towns, and crosses the ancestral lands of the Ute, Eastern Shoshone, and Cheyenne peoples. The CDT winds through some of Colorado’s most incredible landscapes: the spectacular alpine tundra of the South San Juan, Weminuche, and La Garita Wildernesses where the CDT remains at or above 11,000 feet for nearly 70 miles; remnants of the late 1800’s ghost town of Hancock that served the Alpine Tunnel; the awe-inspiring Collegiate Peaks near Leadville, the highest incorporated city in America; geologic oddities like The Window, Knife Edge, and Devil’s Thumb; the towering 14,270 foot Grays Peak – the highest point on the CDT; Rocky Mountain National Park with its rugged snow-capped skyline; the remote Never Summer Wilderness; and the broad valleys and numerous glacial lakes and cirques of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. You might also encounter moose, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, marmots, and pika on the CDT in Colorado. In this guide, you’ll find Colorado’s best day and overnight hikes on the CDT, organized south to north. ELEVATION: The average elevation of the CDT in Colorado is 10,978 ft, and all of the hikes listed in this guide begin at elevations above 8,000 ft. Remember to bring plenty of water, sun protection, and extra food, and know that a hike at elevation will likely be more challenging than the same distance hike at sea level.

  • All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION and KEY
    All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION AND KEY This report is a list of all grants awarded by the Colorado Historical Society’s State Historical Fund (SHF) since its inception in 1992 (state Fiscal Year 1993) through the end of Fiscal Year 2020. The amounts listed are the original award amounts. If for some reason the entire grant amount was not used (i.e. a project was terminated or was completed under budget) the full amount awarded will appear. In other instances grant awards were increased either to enable project completion or to cover the costs of easements. In these instances, the additional award amount is shown in a separate entry as an increase. In those cases where no work was accomplished and the funds were either declined by the grant recipient or were required to be returned to the SHF through rescissions, no entry will appear. For this reason, projects listed in one version of this report may not appear in later versions, and the financial information shown in this report may not be comparable to other revenue reports issued by the SHF. Grants listed in this report are identified by project ID number. The first two characters in the project ID number represent the fiscal year from which the grant was scheduled to be paid. The state is on a July 1 – June 30 fiscal year. So, for example, all grants made between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007 will be coded “07”. The next two characters identify the type of grant. In the case of grants that are awarded based on specific application due dates, the grant round in which the project was funded will be paired with either a letter or number.

We have been trying to get trail access and trailhead parking utilizing existing trails and their parking lot for 40 years (!). Now is the time to get it done, and we would appreciate YOUR support. As indicated at the end of the letter, I will be unable to attend the meeting because I am getting my life in order for some major surgery this week. Please let me know that you have received this document and will include it for the Planning Commission's consideration for tomorrow's meeting, and if you need any additional information. I would also appreciate being included in further communications regarding this project, and would be happy to talk further by phone now and to meet in person in early January.
