| Eagle River Watershed Council |
The Council protects the Eagle & Colorado Rivers in Eagle County and promotes water education through monthly seminars. Its "Edwards Eagle River Restoration Project" will stabilize riverbanks, improve channel geometry, and vegetate riparian corridors. C-Dot and the Council collaborate in post winter efforts to monitor/remove traction sand from I-70's Vail Pass (if left, runoff carries sediment into Black Gore Creek). In 2008, the Council focused on the need to control nutrient loading with a template for a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) plan.

| Friends of the Fraser |
The Friends of the Fraser River works to restore in-stream flows, where a minimum of 65% of the water is diverted for storage and use by Front Range cities. In the near future, we will be focusing on public education and outreach concerning the Moffat firming project and the Windy Gap firming project. Both of these projects are proposing to divert 20% more of the Fraser River and the Upper Colorado River from the West Slope.
