Standley Lake & Clear Creek  --  Source Water Protection

Standley Lake Source Water Protection Efforts Underway

Clear Creek County has completed their recent efforts to capture the current state-of-the-art in stormwater management.  Their new publication, titled "Managing Stormwater to Protect Water Resources in Mountainous Regions of Colorado" is now available from their website.  Click here to jump to Clear Creek County's webpage and click on their link for "Managing Stormwater to Protect Water Resources" at the bottom of the page.  This is a large pdf file, which requires that you 'right-click' on this link and select the 'save target as...' option.  This will allow you to save the publication to your own workspace, and review it at your leisure.  Enjoy, and many thanks to Clear Creek County & the Colorado Geological Survey for providing such an extensive and high-quality reference manual!

The primary focus of the Standley Lake/Clear Creek SWPP is identification of nutrient sources and other potential sources of contamination and the development of best management practices to limit nutrient loadings and other impacts to Standley Lake and the Clear Creek watershed.

Working with a broad base of stakeholders, we aim to address nutrient-related water quality issues in the lake’s source watershed by promoting collaboration with upper basin entities to mitigate potential sources of nutrient contamination and by maintaining productive working relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders.
