  • Horse Gulch Management Plan
    Horse Gulch Management Plan Approved by City of Durango Parks and Recreation Advisory Board: May 8, 2013 Approved by City of Durango Natural Lands Preservation Advisory Board: May 13, 2013 Updated Management Plan Adopted by Natural Lands Preservation Advisory Board May 6, 2019 This updated 2019 Horse Gulch Management Plan replaces the 2013 Horse Gulch Management Plan in full. I. INTRODUCTION Horse Gulch is part of a large open space and recreational area that includes the City of Durango SkyRidge open space, adjacent to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Skyline and Grandview Ridge properties, as well as trail corridors passing through privately owned lands proposed to become the future Durango Mesa Park and recreation amenities. La Plata County is a 1/3 owner of 240 acres in Horse Gulch. This entire landscape encompasses more than 5,123 acres and is home to the Telegraph and Horse Gulch Trail System—an approximately 60-mile natural surface trail network that is used extensively for non-motorized activities such as hiking, trail running, horseback riding, and mountain biking. While the open space in Horse Gulch and SkyRidge remain open year round to public use, the BLM Grandview Ridge is subject to seasonal closures for big game habitat protection. City-owned open space in the area, including Horse Gulch, Raider Ridge and SkyRidge encompass 1,518.76 acres and includes approximately 25 miles of natural-surface trails. In total, 705 acres, or approximately 46 percent, is under conservation easement held by the La Plata Open Space Conservancy to protect recreational values and wildlife habitat.

  • Upper Ingram Gulch Restoration Project Fourmile Watershed Coalition Colorado Watershed Restoration January 2020 Board Meeting
    Upper Ingram Gulch Restoration Project Fourmile Watershed Coalition Colorado Watershed Restoration January 2020 Board Meeting Program Application DETAIL S Total Project Cost: $350,116 Colorado Watershed $100,116 Restoration Program Request: Recommended amount: $256,707 Other CWCB Funding: $0 Other Funding Amount: $250,000 Applicant Match: $0 Project Type(s): Engineering Design and Construction LOCATIO N Project Category: Watershed Restoration County/Counties: Boulder Measurable Result: 1,392 CY of mine waste removed. Drainage Basin: South Platte 3,300 Linear Feet restored. 5,000 containers planted (riparian plants). Since 2015, the Fourmile Watershed Coalition has been awarded 7.3 million dollars in state and federal grant funds primarily for flood recovery and stream restoration planning and construction projects. These projects include three planning projects, eight watershed/stream restoration projects and staff capacity funds. Currently, the Coalition is expanding into the Boulder Creek watershed and expanding programing into forest health and resiliency. All projects have been multi-objective and incorporated the priorities of multiple agencies and landowners. The Upper Ingram Restoration Project proposes to prioritize, design and implement multiple smaller scale mine remediation projects within Ingram Gulch. This work will build upon ongoing and completed projects in Ingram Gulch that are incrementally improving water quality by decreasing sediment loading downstream. High sediment yields are due to increased erosion from gullying in the upper watershed as well as dozens of mine waste piles exposed during the Fourmile Fire. The primary objectives with the mine waste design is increased stabilization of the piles by encouraging vegetation growth through grading, soil amendments and native seeding and planting.
