1.02 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. The Fossil Creek and Stanton Creek Stream Rehabilitation project is located north of Trilby Road, east of the Union Pacific Railroad, and south of Carpenter Road in southeast Fort Collins. The

Fossil Creek reach is approximately 1,060 feet in channel length and lies between Trilby Road and the Union Pacific Railroad. The Stanton Creek reach is approximately 6,580 feet in channel length and lies between Carpenter Road and the confluence with Fossil Creek. Fossil Creek and Stanton

Creek flows through properties owned by the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas and the City of

Fort Collins. Single family homes border the properties on the western and eastern boundaries of

Stanton Creek.

B. The Fossil Creek stream reach is downstream of an urbanized corridor and is experiencing incision and widening due to erosion from storm and irrigation flows, which is threatening public safety.

Rehabilitation typically involves grading the channel and floodplain with the creation of riffles and pools to improve native fish habitat. Grading includes floodplain connectivity to overflow banks, integration of natural materials and promotion of native vegetation establishment. The reach will experience flows ranging from approximately 590 cfs in the 2-year storm event to 4,000 cfs in the

100-year storm event. Additionally, Fossil Creek conveys irrigation flows with a flow rate of up to

60 cfs throughout a portion of the year. Average winter flows in Fossil Creek are approximately 15 cfs based on available gage data between 2005 and 2023.

C. The Stanton Creek stream reach is within an urbanized corridor and is experiencing incision, which is threatening public safety and utility and trail infrastructure. The rehabilitation includes channel improvements to raise the channel invert and promote floodplain and wetland connectivity and bank stabilization. The rehabilitation also includes integration of natural materials and promotion of native vegetation establishment. For sediment transport and floodplain benefits, a pilot channel through the existing wetlands is also included in the rehabilitation. The Stanton

Creek reach will experience flows ranging from approximately 150 cfs in the 2-year storm event to

3,400 cfs in the 100-year storm event. Base flows in Stanton Creek are approximately 1 cfs.

D. The Fossil Creek and Stanton Creek Stream Rehabilitation project generally entails earthwork and grading, channel realignment, dewatering, topsoil placement, revegetation, and related items along

Fossil Creek from Trilby Road downstream to the Union Pacific Railroad, and along Stanton

Creek from Carpenter Road downstream to the confluence with Fossil Creek.

E. The project is located as shown in the Drawings.
