About this file
The file is an attendance record, site visit Q&A document, and project map for the Bakerville Sediment and Flood Risk Reduction Analysis and Design project, issued by the Clear Creek Watershed & Forest Health Partnership (CCWFHP). The project involves analyzing a section of the Clear Creek corridor between Bakerville and Jazz Place, with a focus on restoration opportunities, wildfire resilience, and potential low-tech processed-based restoration. The site visit occurred on May 10, 2024, at the Gateway Visitor Center in Georgetown, CO, and involved representatives from organizations like Anchor QEA, Matrix Design Group, and Pinyon Environmental. The project aims to assess sediment and flood risks while exploring opportunities to support beaver populations and improve watershed health.
The project's scope extends beyond the initial 12-acre site identified by Colorado School of Mines students, seeking to evaluate restoration possibilities across private and public lands. Key environmental concerns include magnesium chloride impacts, such as tree mortality along major roads like I-70 and Highway 40, and potential water quality issues for downstream users. The existing site features multiple damming structures (Colony A Dam α, β, and Pond Ω) and is located near the Bakerville Waterfall, with the project footprint encompassing areas bounded by I-70, Silver Valley Road, and State Road 2. The project documents indicate a comprehensive approach to watershed management, emphasizing ecological restoration and infrastructure resilience.

Bakerville Sediment and Flood Risk Reduction Analysis and Design
5/10/24 Site Visit Questions and Answers
1. What level of assessment does the CCWFHP want done on private property, or should the focus of this project remain on the 12-acre site identified by the CSM students on the
Arapaho National Forest?
ANSWER: To meet the Capstone project and course requirements, the CSM students needed to focus on one area for their field work and site design. We would like proposals and the selected consultant to analyze a larger section of the Clear Creek corridor between Bakerville and Jazz Place which includes private lands, or beyond those locations if there is an argument to do so. We want to know what restoration opportunities are possible and what will benefit this sub-basin the most to make it more resilient to catastrophic wildfire and post-fire impacts to water quality and critical infrastructure downstream. With the hope to pursue low-tech processed based restoration and to encourage local beaver colonies to move further up into the watershed, we also want to make sure this study looks at the amount and type of vegetation throughout the corridor and incorporates any actions needed to make this a sustainable location for beaver populations long term.
2. How are mag chloride impacts manifesting themselves along Clear Creek?
ANSWER: The most visual indication of mag chloride impacts for the local communities and residents in the watershed is dead or dying trees along major roads, including I-70 and HWY 40. There are also some local groups including the Upper Clear
Creek Watershed Association (UCCWA) and the Colorado chapter of Trout Unlimited that are worried about mag chloride impacts on water quality for downstream users and the impact on aquatic life in the creek.
