						Blue River Wildfire/Watershed Assessment We have revised the Blue River Watershed/Wildfire Assessment. The assessment follows a procedure prescribed by the Colorado 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 Blue River Wildfire/Watershed Assessment identifies, prioritizes, and recommends measures to protect those watersheds that provide or convey critical community water supplies from the adverse effects of post-wildfire hydrologic changes, including flooding, erosion, debris flows, and deposition. We also completed an opportunities and constraints analysis to identify potential next steps for watershed protection. The report and related documents can be found below in the Documents section. A slide show of the maps from the report can be viewed below in the Maps section. The basic analysis for the Blue River Watershed was completed as part of the Bark Beetle Incident Watershed work. Please contact Brad Piehl for further information. Blue River Watershed Stakeholders Thank you for your work and help making this project a success.
