Willow Creek Stream Improvements from County Line to Quebec

Project Description & Goals

The Willow Creek County Line to Quebec Stream Improvements is a stream reclamation project near the WIllow Creek neighborhoods.   This project is a joint project between SEMSWA and the Mile High Flood District.  The project goals are:

  • Understand current conditions and functionality of Willow Creek
  • Develop improvements to restore and stabilize creek within Willow Creek Open Space
  • Create low maintenance riparian corridor that will safely convey anticipated flows
