This project aims to increase stability and floodplain connectivity within the Clear Creek Watershed to provide added resilience to the corridor if a wildfire were to occur and restore the floodplain to a more functional state.
Location
The ~1,200-ft-long project area is located ~3.5 miles west of Silver Plume, just east of Silver Dale Rd, along Clear Creek. It is wedged between I-70 to the north and Silver Valley Road to the south.
