    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In 1997 Warren Diesslin, former Warden of the Buena Vista Correctional Facility, and Eddie Kochman, former Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) Aquatic Section Manager, met and discussed a joint venture to rehabilitate degraded stream habitats while providing heavy construction training for inmates sincere about changing the direction of their lives. These men conceived and supported the vision of what is now known as the Vocational Heavy Construction Technology (VHCT) program. Tom Bowen, once a prison guard and later a Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) vocational educational instructor with years of practical heavy construction experience, developed and coordinated this program with the support and approval of Warden Diesslin. Tom contacted the Colorado Contractors Association (CCA) and they agreed to serve as a program sponsor. The CCA has since become an integral part of the program, serving as the advisory board and assisting student inmates with job placement once they have successfully completed the program. Through the VHCT program, two state agencies (CDOW and CDOC) and private industry have formed a rare partnership with different missions: to help redirect human lives while restoring river natural processes and aquatic habitats within driving distance of the Buena Vista Correctional Facility.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Monitoring activities to evaluate restoration effectiveness for the upper Arkansas River Habitat Restoration Project were conducted by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and contractors during 2020 and 2021. Efforts were primarily focused on data analysis and publication of results for monitoring targets, including fish populations, riparian vegetation, benthic macroinvertebrates, instream habitat structures, and water quality. Some fish population, benthic macroinvertebrate, riparian vegetation and habitat metrics improved following restoration, although not all metrics have achieved target goals. Significant improvements in Brown Trout Salmo trutta density, biomass and condition were encouraging, but apparent declines in quality trout could be indicative of increased competition or limited forage. The abundance of benthic macroinvertebrates increased, but not to the level of project goals. Woody riparian vegetation increased significantly, and encroachment of riparian vegetation has outpaced bank erosion, which suggests that bank stability has improved and the channel is moving towards dynamic equilibrium. Multiple metrics indicate that ecosystem health within the California Gulch Superfund Site continues to improve.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In December 2016, a group of partners including American Rivers, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), Colorado River Water Conservation District (CRWCD), Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB), Denver Water, Grand County, Irrigators of Lands in the Vicinity of Kremmling (ILVK), Municipal Subdistrict of Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (Northern Water), Trout Unlimited, and the Upper Colorado River Alliance was awarded $7.75 million by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) through their Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) for the Upper Colorado River Headwaters Project (Headwaters Project). The Headwaters Project is comprised of three endeavors within Grand County that will collectively restore fish and wildlife habitat, and improve water quality and agricultural water management on a regional scale. The RCPP funding will be utilized to focus on two specific project components: 1) reconnecting the Colorado River upstream and downstream of Windy Gap Reservoir (referenced as the Windy Gap Connectivity Channel Project); and 2) restoration of the Colorado River channel to be resilient to hydrological modifications, while sustaining agriculture, and aquatic and riparian habitat (referenced as the Irrigators of Lands in the Vicinity of Kremmling Project). The third endeavor, the Kemp Breeze State Wildlife Area (SWA) Habitat Restoration Project, is expected to be funded by the partners, and other interested parties. These three project components are further described in the following sections.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Formalin is a commonly used prophalyctic antifungal and antiparasitic treatment of fish and fish eggs, yet little is known about the differential sensitivity among strains after exposure as eggs. This study seeks to determine the sensitivities (measured by mortality) of four rainbow trout strains, after first exposure to formalin as eggs, and a later exposure as fingerlings. The data is analyzed using logistic regression and a Cox proportional hazard model. Both models yield consistent conclusions; the different strains do die at different rates as fingerlings, but the egg treatment does not contribute to these differences.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The upper Colorado River is an iconic drainage in Colorado that has been severely impacted by impoundments and reduced flows. Trans-basin and local water use divert approximately 67% of the flow of the upper Colorado River and future projects will deplete flows further. There are ongoing discussions on how to implement mitigation measures to reduce the impact of increased trans-basin water diversions. One component is to reduce effects of the diversions by taking Windy Gap Reservoir off channel and constructing a bypass around the reservoir. This would reconnect the river and ameliorate various impacts of a large, on channel impoundment but would not reduce the impacts of water withdrawals from the system. The planned bypass channel offers a unique opportunity to evaluate the effects reconnecting the river through the reservoir as well as investigate mitigation measures to offset the impacts of large water diversions on the ecology of the river. The objectives of these projects are to evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation measures in restoring and improving the ecological function of the upper Colorado River.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s (CPW) statutory mission is to perpetuate the wildlife resources of the State, to provide a quality State Parks system, and to provide enjoyable and sustainable outdoor recreation opportunities that educate and inspire current and future generations to serve as strategic stewards of Colorado’s natural resources (C.R.S. § 33-9-101 (12) (b)). As CPW is responsible for the management and conservation of aquatic resources within the State, we are asked to review projects that may affect aquatic habitats or populations. Specifically, CPW staff is often engaged by the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to review permit applications related to the design, construction, and monitoring of whitewater parks (WWPs) regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. WWP projects typically fall under the following permits: <br />
<ul>
<li>NWP 27 - Aquatic Habitat Restoration, Establishment, and Enhancement Activities</li>
<li>IP - An individual, or standard permit, is issued when projects have more than minimal individual or cumulative impacts, are evaluated using additional environmental criteria, and involve a more comprehensive public interest review.</li>
