HEALTHY RIVERS AND STREAMS CITIZENS ADVISORY BOARD
Regular Meeting May 18, 2023 4:00 PM 123 Emma Road, 2nd Floor Basalt, CO 81621 River Board members present: Wendy Huber, Chris Lemons, Kirstin Neff, Chuck Ogilby, Bill Jochems, Andre Wille, Chris Wheatley River Board members absent:
Attendees in addition to presenters: Lisa MacDonald, Lisa Tasker, Diane Schwener, Heather Sackett, Kate Hudson _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Board Comment: Mr. Wille encouraged members to attend a protest on June 6th at noon regarding the proposed crude oil train’s potential for derailment and harm to the river. Andre’s wife is organizing her group, Women for Wild Lands in conjunction with the local 350.org non-profit. The trains would ship crude oil through Glenwood Canyon and along the Colorado River to refineries in the U.S. The Unita Railway Basin Project could send trains 10 times a day through the canyon. Mr. Wille also noted the upper wave in the Whitewater Park is the best it’s ever been. He was on the wave a few days prior to the meeting and noted it was surfable and playable. Ms. Neff mentioned her how pleased she was to attend the May 11th Roaring Fork Watershed Summit, organized by April Long and funded by the Healthy Rivers Board. She is also looking forward to the report expected after a summary is done of attendees top five watershed priorities for the next few years. Healthy Rivers gave out hats and showed a video update done by Back 40 Stories of our activities. Public Comment: Kate Hudson appeared in the professional capacity as an attorney with the Waterkeeper Alliance Ms. Hudson mentioned the effort to reduce methane emissions is probably one of the most significant activities we can do to try to reduce climate change in the short term. Ms. Hudson came to comment on the proposed methane capture project up in Coal Basin in the area of the old abandoned coal mine outside of Redstone. She has been following the efforts closely. Ms. Hudson expressed concerns about that project both as a resident of the valley and a professional working on these issues. Ms. Hudson proposed it is not the right project and it is clearly in the wrong place. Ms. Hudson stated the amount of methane that is going to be collected is relatively small, comparing it to other unaddressed areas of the state, and believes there are other places in Colorado where the money that is going into the Coal Basin effort could be better spent. Ms. Hudson stated her wish that USFS would direct the applicants to present the entire project, instead of current piecemeal approach now being used for the federal approval processes. The potential for opening the now reclaimed mining roads and those potential impacts to the river are a real possibility, if the bigger project is ultimately approved. Ms. Hudson is asking what makes sense for the river and the entire community and how do we want to see our federal dollars spent?
Additions/Deletions to the Agenda: None
Outstanding Waters and the Colorado River Basin Outstanding Waters Coalition – Chad Rudow, Water Quality Program Manager, Roaring Fork Conservancy- Chad presented, not just on behalf of the Roaring Fork Conservancy, but on behalf of the entire Colorado River Basin Outstanding Waters Coalition (CRBOWC).

Advocates and Wilderness Workshop. The candidate reaches within Pitkin and Eagle Counties were presented. Outstanding Waters is a designation potentially awarded to reaches of rivers or other bodies of water with high water quality and exceptional ecological or recreational significance that are deemed worthy of increased protections by the state. Maps were provided of the reaches in the packet and presentation and depicted Avalanche Creek, Hunter Creek, Middle and South Thompson Creek, Woody Creek, and then in Eagle County, Big Alkali Creek and Brush Creek. Water Quality sampling will continue over the next year and depending on results, these reaches could be designated next year. An OW designation is made through the Water Quality Control Commission (Commission) in the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). Rulemakings are held on a rotating basis throughout the state whereby the process is spread over three years from scoping to final action. The board was asked to provide a letter next spring supporting the designation for appropriate timing in the efforts. Chad will also be presenting to the BOCC in the next few weeks. Healthy Rivers Board Grant Committee Discussion – Kirstin Neff, Wendy Huber, Chris Lemons The Grant Committee presented survey results that were sent to past grant recipients. Only four of the 21 surveys were returned. Discussions regarding dollar amounts, small dollar grants, the process of hearing the grants and decision times were all discussed. Ms. Neff will draft new templates and criteria for further discussion at the next meeting. The Board thanked the committee for the hard work on this. Healthy Rivers Board Scholarship Committee – Andre Wille, Kirstin Neff Mr. Wille and Ms. Neff met to review and select winning applications. Twenty applications were received from all eligible high schools. The winners are as follows: Gabriella Yturri – Aspen High School India Butchart – Basalt High School Andrew Sebastian Bartnik – Watershed Wide – Glenwood Springs High School
Staff Report – Lisa MacDonald and Lisa Tasker Staff provided an update on projects and work as contained in the report in the Board’s packet.

Marble Charter School Integrated River Program
Funding Request July 2023
Pitkin County Healthy Rivers and Streams
Context:
The Marble Charter School (MCS)is developing an interdisciplinary water education program.
By starting in our own backyard,we intend to help students expand their appreciation for rivers
and water by first cultivating a deeper connection and understanding of all facets of the Crystal
River,from the ones they depend on to ones they appreciate from a distance.So much of what
is taken for granted is connected to a locally healthy river and watershed.By beginning a
Crystal River immersion,we can then expand to issues of the Colorado River and then to the
broader topics of rivers and water more globally.
Goal:
●MCS community will have a deeper and stronger understanding of both the local Crystal
River and rivers around the world -the geography,history,ecology,geomorphology,
chemical properties,cultural significance and importance,as well as threats and issues.
●MCS community will grow a closer personal and community relationship to the Crystal
River.
●MCS will integrate the learning into all subjects and disciplines taught at the school using
various forms of information,including (but not limited to):literature,scientific studies,
historical references,artistic/creative expression,mixed media,data collection and
analysis.
Objectives:
●MCS students will be able to discuss critical topics surrounding water health and safety,
most importantly with regard to the Crystal River but also the upper and lower Colorado
Basin.
●MCS students will be able to research and develop solutions to help maintain the level
and health of the water supply with local to global perspectives.
●MCS students will be able to share their knowledge with the wider community through
project-based learning and planned presentations.
Implementation Strategy:
●Throughout the 2023-24 school year,Wild Rose Education and the Marble Charter
School will co-develop,pilot,and document this water education program.Program will
include::
○Water education programming for K-8 students across all disciplines
○Program co-design planning with teachers
4
○Classroom and field activities led by Wild Rose Education -teachers observing to
learn to implement in years to come
○Integrate community partners and experts
○Project and problem based place based activities
○Final project /presentation
Outcomes:
●MCS will have resources,training,and agency to integrate the new interdisciplinary river
activities and learning experiences into their school curriculum for years to come.
●MCS will coordinate learning exchanges with neighboring schools.
●Marble Community School and its broader community will deepen and strengthen their
relationship with the Crystal River and water resources.
Impact:Water Education Program will reach (not limited to):
●40 students
●20 School families/households
●Crystal Valley communities of Redstone,Marble,and beyond
Funding Request:$30,000
●Program design and implementation over 9 months

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
BOARD MEETING DATE: July 21, 2023 AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Lincoln Creek/Grizzly Reservoir Water Sampling 2024 Proposal
STAFF RESPONSIBLE: Kurt Dahl, Pitkin County Environmental Health Manager
ISSUE STATEMENT: In partnership with the Roaring Fork Conservancy (RFC), Pitkin County Environmental Health Department (PCEHD) is looking for funding to support water quality sampling for 2024 in Lincoln
Creek below the Grizzly Reservoir. Grizzly Reservoir was scheduled to go under construction to replace the dam liner during the summer of 2023, but in May of 2023 a decision was made to wait until the summer of 2024. This allows water quality samples to be taken during the construction to determine if there are any adverse impacts on water quality.
Water quality testing data is important for the Healthy Rivers program, PCEHD and RFC to help inform how construction and maintenance of the reservoir may impact water quality, aquatic life, and human health in the lower portions of Lincoln Creek and the Roaring Fork River. Previous water quality results indicate that Lincoln Creek has high levels of copper and aluminum, along with other heavy metals, and impacts have been seen in the Roaring Fork River from changes in flow rates of
Lincoln Creek. Recent results from the as yet unreleased EPA study show elevated copper and aluminum levels in Lincoln Creek. In addition, the reservoir appears to be acting as a “sink” for some of the metals. The dam construction will require Grizzly Reservoir to be drained and flows from Lincoln Creek
will be diverted towards Twin Lakes until a senior water rights “call” from downstream requires water from the creek. Lincoln Creek will be released to the Roaring Fork River during these “calls”. It is not clear at this time if the creek will be diverted through the bottom of the drained reservoir or if will be routed around it. Given the combination of factors we believe it is important to take water samples at different phases of the construction to determine if there may be a possibility of impacts
to the creek and river. This will help us to understand how future dam construction/maintenance might impact the creek and river and influence future planning for how to minimize possible impacts. BUDGETARY IMPACT:
In September of 2022, PCEHD contracted with a private entity to sample Lincoln Creek below Grizzly Reservoir as a way to compare/confirm the results of the EPA study being conducted at the same time. Samples were taken in 3 locations with a cost of $5,000. The basic framework of the 2024 project would be to take water samples at similar locations but during different phases of the
9
construction through the summer. The Roaring Fork Conservancy will take the lead on sampling and the Pitkin EH Department will provide staffing support. Based on the 2022 sampling, we are asking
for $15,000 to support lab testing costs for 3-4 sites, with 4 different sampling times (pre-draining,
during reservoir draining, during a change in creek diversion, and post construction completion). The sampling times will be determined once we receive the construction outline from Twin Lakes Canal Company. The number of sample sites and timing may change as more information is gathered and an update to the HR Board will be provided if this occurs.

AGENDA ITEM: July Staff Report A summary of projects and work is provided below. Administrative: Staff is working with the Back 40 Stories team on standard sign designs and has met with fabricator to work on signage for the Whitewater Park. Cost estimates have been provided and will be discussed internally. Temporary signage for the Fish Park Boat Ramp and WWPark have been installed, including high water warnings. As needed support for the Crystal Wild and Scenic efforts is being provided by staff with Back 40 Stories informational slide presentation being used for educational events. The latest slide show was presented in Redstone at the Crystal Caucus meeting July 13th with Kayo Ogilby presenting, followed by audience questions. Board members Chuck Ogilby and Wendy Huber attended. Standing bi-weekly staff meetings continue. Projects and Infrastructure:
Fisherman’s Park Improvements Boardwalk and ramp are complete, a handrail will be installed on the path to the boardwalk. Drawings were received last week and will be submitted to our building department for permitting. Temporary signs are are installed. Beaver and Cutthroat Project with the USFS USFS Beaver project interns are well into their field season. Reports from the field suggest things started a little more slowly than expected, but protocols have been adjusted as is typical once in practice and meaningful progress is being made. More of the same work is now expected for next year in order to cover enough data points. Staff accompanied the USFS team of interns and Clay Ramey July 13th and Matt Annabel with Back 40 Stories and Aspen Journalism are scheduled to join them soon.
Wild and Scenic Efforts The Crystal Wild and Scenic Stakeholder process is underway. Following the Community Summit held April 27th at the Marble Firehouse, the first Steering Committee meeting was then convened June 22nd again in Marble.
