| CHAMA PEAK LAND ALLIANCE, INCREASING RESILIENCY IN THE SAN JUAN-CHAMA PROJECT HEADWATERSRECLAMATION FUNDING: 3,000,000 TOTAL PROJECT COST: 4,000,000THE CHAMA PEAK LAND ALLIANCE WILL CONDUCT ECOLOGICAL FOREST THINNING ON APPROXIMATELY 2,150 ACRES TO PROTECT SOURCE WATERSHEDS FOR RECLAMATIONS SAN JUAN-CHAMA PROJECT, THE RIO CHAMA HEADWATERS, AND THE RIO BRAZOS HEADWATERS FROM THE IMPACTS OF FUTURE WILDFIRES. FORESTS IN THESE HEADWATERS ARE UNNATURALLY DENSE AND HOMOGENOUS, PUTTING THEM AT RISK OF SEVERE WILDFIRES AND DETERIORATION OF WATERSHED FUNCTION. THESE WATERSHEDS SUPPLY CRUCIAL DRINKING WATER TO THE CITIES OF ALBUQUERQUE AND SANTA FE, AND NUMEROUS TRIBES, PUEBLOS, AND RURAL COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT NEW MEXICO. IN ADDITION TO THREATENING WATER SUPPLY INFRASTRUCTURE, A SEVERE WILDFIRE COULD CAUSE WATER QUALITY IMPAIRMENTS, FLOODING EROSION, AND SIGNIFICANT DEGRADATION OF HABITAT FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE, INCLUDING HABITAT FOR THE NATIVE RIO GRANDE CUTTHROAT TROUT AND RARE SAN JUAN STRAIN OF COLORADO CUTTHROAT TROUT POPULATIONS. THE PROJECT ALIGNS WITH THE RIO CHAMA COLLABORATIVE FOREST LANDSCAPE RESTORATION PROJECT, THE RIO GRANDE WATER FUND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND THE RESILIENCY STRATEGY FOR THE NAVAJO-BLANCO WATERSHEDS. THIS PROJECT HAS SUPPORT FROM CONSERVATION GROUPS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND WATER USERS, HIGHLIGHTING ITS IMPORTANCE IN PRESERVING THESE VITAL WATERSHEDS AND MITIGATING THE THREAT OF SEVERE WILDFIRES. | Colorado (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | CHAMA PEAK LAND ALLIANCE | $3.0M | — |
| THE BOULDER WATERSHED COLLECTIVE, A COMMUNITY WATERSHED GROUP, WILL RESTORE AND IMPROVE THE ECOLOGICAL CONDITION OF 181 ACRES OF DEGRADED AQUATIC AND RIPARIAN HABITAT, AND 2.8 MILES OF WET MEADOW STREAMS THROUGHOUT THE BOULDER CREEK WATERSHED NEAR BOULDER, COLORADO. THE PROJECT AREA INCLUDES HABITAT FOR THREATENED GREENBACK CUTTHROAT TROUT AND SOUTHERN ROCKY MOUNTAIN BOREAL TOAD. THE COLLECTIVE WILL CONSTRUCT IN-STREAM LOG STRUCTURES, PLANT NATIVE VEGETATION, AND REINTRODUCE NATIVE BEAVER POPULATIONS TO REDUCE CHANNEL INCISION, RECONNECT FLOODPLAINS, RESTORE ERODED GULLIES, AND IMPROVE INSTREAM AQUATIC HABITAT. THE COLLECTIVE?S RESTORATION ACTIVITIES WILL ALSO RE-HYDRATE WET MEADOWS, IMPROVE WATER QUALITY, AND ATTENUATE DOWNSTREAM FLOODING. THE PROJECT AREA HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN NUMEROUS REGIONAL PLANNING EFFORTS, INCLUDING THE CITY OF BOULDER SOURCE WATER PROTECTION PLAN, ST VRAIN AND LEFT-HAND CREEK STREAM MANAGEMENT PLAN, AND THE ST. VRAIN AND BOULDER CREEKS WILDFIRE READY WATERSHEDS PREPAREDNESS PLAN. THE COLLECTIVE ALSO CONSULTED A DIVERSE GROUP OF INDIVIDUAL STAKEHOLDERS, FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LAND MANAGERS, NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. | Colorado (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | BOULDER WATERSHED COLLECTIVE | $954K | — |
| EXCESS SALINITY , THAT WHICH IS GREATER THAN THE STANDARD SET TO PROTECT BENEFICIAL USES , POSES A GROWING THREAT TO FOOD PRODUCTION AND DRINKING WATER QUALITY. SALTS INCREASE THE COST OF URBAN DRINKING WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT, WHICH ARE PAID FOR BY RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THIS PROJECT WILL RESULT IN THE ANNUAL REDUCTION OF APPROXIMATELY 419 TONS OF SALT IN THE COLORADO RIVER AT A COST-EFFECTIVENESS VALUE OF $49.70/TON. - AWARD# R20AC00017 | Colorado (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | THE SHORT DITCH COMPANY | $695K | — |
| THE ARKANSAS RIVER WATERSHED COLLABORATIVE (ARWC) WILL WORK TO INTEGRATE SEVERAL SUBGROUPS FOR MORE COMPREHENSIVE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLANNING IN THE UPPER ARKANSAS WATERSHED.

| THE TOWN OF PAONIA LOCATED IN DELTA COUNTY, COLORADO WILL CONDUCT A HOLISTIC AND COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION TO DEVELOP A WATER STRATEGY TO INCREASE DROUGHT RESILIENCY, MITIGATE WILDFIRE HAZARDS, AND IMPROVE ITS WATER INFRASTRUCTURE. THE TOWN COLLECTS ITS RAW WATER FROM SPRING SYSTEMS WHICH HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY DECLINING SNOWPACK. THIS WATERSHED HAS EXPERIENCED REDUCED SUMMER FLOWS AND THE SPRINGS ARE VULNERABLE TO SURFACE CONTAMINATION, DROUGHT CONDITIONS, AND WILDFIRE IMPACTS TO WATER QUALITY. THROUGH THIS PLANNING EFFORT, PAONIA WILL ANALYZE PAST TRENDS AND DEVELOP FUTURE WATER SUPPLY PROJECTIONS, ASSESS THE STATE OF EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE, PERFORM WATER MARKETING AND WATER RIGHTS ANALYSES, IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE INFRASTRUCTURE WORK THAT WILL MITIGATE CHANGES FROM LONGER DROUGHTS AND INCREASING HEAT, AND EXAMINE WILDFIRE IMPACTS AND MITIGATION METHODS. DATA DEVELOPED THROUGH THE STUDY WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE COLORADO WATER PLAN DATABASE AND PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO THE TOWN S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN. PAONIA WILL ENGAGE LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS IN THIS PLANNING EFFORT, INCLUDING THE U.S. FOREST SERVICE, AGRICULTURAL USERS, PUBLIC LAND MANAGERS, WATER DISTRICTS, FARMING AND RANCHING ASSOCIATIONS, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. | Colorado (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | TOWN OF PAONIA | $250K | — |
