Community Meeting for Restoration Design for James and Little James Creeks June 1

Boulder County, Colo. - Funding has recently been secured for creek restoration in portions of James Creek and Little James Creek.  Boulder County and the Lefthand Watershed Oversight Group are working in collaboration with the James Creek Watershed Initiative and the Town of Jamestown to develop stream restoration designs for James and Little James Creeks.

Please join us at a public meeting on Wednesday, June 1 to review the draft designs and provide input. This is an important opportunity to provide feedback on what you would like to see on your property. We will also discuss the anticipated construction timeframe and permission forms needed from property owners in order to do the restoration work.

     What: Community Meeting
     When: Wednesday, June 1, 6-8 p.m.
     Where: Jamestown Town Hall, 118 Main Street

The meeting will be an open house format, with a brief overview of the project at the beginning. During the open house, there will be the opportunity to sign-up for a time slot to meet with the stream restoration design consultant.

Next Steps
Final designs will be completed in June 2016. Following completion of the design, Boulder County will implement the stream restoration project using a combination of funding from Boulder County and Natural Resources Conservation Service Emergency Watershed Protection Program. Construction is planned to begin in concert with necessary road construction, currently expected to begin late fall- early winter of 2016.
