  • Landscape Character Descriptions of the White River National Forest
    Final Environmental Impact Statement Volume 3 Landscape Character Descriptions of the White River National Forest Headwaters of the South Fork of the White River Jan Spencer – Landscape Architect Writer/Editor Ron Wright – Soil Scientist Bill Kight – Heritage Resource Manager Kit Buell – Wildlife Biologist Carolyn Upton – Social/Economics Specialist Marsha Raus – Fisheries Biologist Narrative and Photography Contributors: Ron Taussig, Beth Boyst, George Myser, Tom Kuekes, Al Grimshaw, Dan Mathews, Paula Johnston, Kathy Hardy, Angela Glenn, Gary Osier P-1 Appendix P White River National Forest Preface The word landscape evokes certain unique and special images and meanings to each of us as individuals. As children we may have attached a sense of place to some small parcel of ground, be it a backyard or an open meadow blooming with the rainbow color of wildflowers. The rest of our lives then build upon those early impressions, layer upon layer of geographic recognition. Year after year we go back to a stream, yet each time we fish there we read something new into the landscape. It may even be some picnic spot with a backdrop of mountain majesty we can still see in our mind even with our eyes closed. These places uplift our spirit, but we are hard-pressed to put into words exactly how or why we feel the way we do. The comforting sense of familiarity a prominent granite peak holds for us never quite gets communicated beyond the photo image. “Like all real treasures of the mind, perception can be split into infinitely small fractions without losing its quality.

  • East River Basin
    Chapter 6 The East River Basin Basin Characteristics The East River is made up of a diverse community of water users including ranchers that irrigate pasture grass, popular tourist towns, an important trout fishery, boating enthusiasts, and a major ski area. It is host to multiple municipal water providers that serve the towns of Mt. Crested Butte, Crested Butte and Crested Butte South as well as a number of smaller providers. Crested Butte Mountain Resort is a major economic driver in the valley and draws water from the East River for snowmaking. Wildlife, watershed views, and ecosystem services are sustained by water flowing in creeks and support vibrant angling and stand-up paddle board businesses. In addition to hosting a range of uses, the East River Basin faces diverse challenges presented by a legacy of mining and impaired streams, a growing population, and competing water uses. Finding collaborative ways to protect these uses while improving watershed health is the goal of the Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District’s watershed management planning process. The primary objective of this section is to provide a summary of existing water use within the East River Basin, including irrigation, municipal, industrial, instream flow, and recreational water uses. A major task for the WMPC was to review and assess the available information; update and refine the information; identify data gaps; and recommend future data collection efforts. The information collected as part of the data inventory process served as a key component to both identify needs in the East River Basin and to improve modeling tools being used to assess these needs.

  • Gunnison County Economic Indicators Report, August 2014
    GUNNISON COUNTY ECONOMIC INDICATORS REPORT AUGUST 2014 ECONOMIC INDICATORS REPORT AND ONLINE RESOURCES The purpose of this report is to provide accurate and current data is critical in understanding the strengths, weakness- es and needs of the community. The goal of this report is to provide economic and demographic information to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), citizens, businesses and other organizations that will assist in making in- formed decisions. This is an evolving project and additional areas of analyses may be included in the future to address carrying capacity of the County, sustainability and other relevant issues. Gunnison County Community Development and Geographic Information Services have prepared this Economic Indicators Report for the purpose of creating a comprehensive source of information. Comparison data can be a useful tool to determine the significance of trends when compared with a competitive re- gion. For the purpose of this report the Counties of Eagle, Grand, La Plata, Montrose and Routt have been used as com- parable counties. These counties were chosen for their similarities to Gunnison County. Staff utilized data from Head- waters Economics, U.S. Census, Colorado Department of Local Affairs, the 2013 Gunnison County Community Survey and 2005 Gunnison-Crested Butte Corridor Plan in preparing this report. Although the data is somewhat dated, it pro- vides useful data on community values which have likely not changed dramatically. GUNNISON COUNTY VISION STATEMENT The Gunnison County Board of Commissioners had developed a Strategic Plan for the County based on the following vision statement. Gunnison County cherishes its sense of community and place.
