						Blue River Watershed Assessment for the US Forest Service Bark Beetle Incident This watershed assessment followed a procedure prescribed by the Front Range Watershed Protection Data Refinement Work Group titled “Protecting Critical Watersheds in Colorado from Wildfire: A Technical Approach to Watershed Assessment and Prioritization”. See Watershed Wildfire Protection Group for more information. The fourth-level Blue River Watershed was modified because the one of the watersheds was lower in elevation and not forested and would skew the results of the prioritization. The Phase 1 analysis has been completed. Please review the report for more information. Blue River Phase 1 Watershed Assessment The Blue River Watershed Assessment has been taken further through the stakeholder process. That process has provided a final prioritization and an opportunities and constraints analysis. Please refer to the Blue River Wildfire/Watershed Assessment page for information on that work.
