In partnership with CWT, the graduate students from CU Boulder’s Masters of the Environment (MENV) program are conducting a statewide survey to better understand how urban streams are used, valued, managed, and restored. You may have read about their project on our blog here, here, or here. The survey is part of the students’ year-long capstone project, developed in partnership with Colorado Water Trust, to better understand the needs of Colorado’s urban communities (whether those are big cities or small towns) when it comes to their local streams—and to identify opportunities for streamflow restoration that support both people and ecosystems. Learn more about the Urban Flows Survey and complete it HERE.

The Water Quality Control Division would like your feedback on potential edits to Reg. 84, and to assess interest and considerations regarding a new proposal to incorporate 'snowmaking' into the reuse framework. Please use this form to submit your initial feedback by Friday, Sept. 5. The division will not respond to comments individually, but we will use them to inform the process. We appreciate your input and look forward to reviewing your response.

The Boulder Watershed Collective (a local non-profit) and CU Masters of the Environment students are partnering to better understand management strategies and perceptions of beavers along the Front Range. Your input will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of these dynamics, which will help inform the development of local beaver management plans. If you or someone you know manages beaver on public or private lands along the Front Range of Colorado, please consider taking this survey. Take the survey HERE.
