THE GOAL OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO REALIZE A WATERSHED THAT IS HEALTHY IN EVERY RESPECT WHILE OFFERING A SUSTAINABLE AND QUALITY LIFESTYLE FOR ALL WHO LIVE IN THE WATERSHED. ORGANIZATION ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2022:Water Quality performed water quality sampling at over 25 sites throughout the entire San Miguel Watershed.Wetland Restoration The Coalition worked with the USFS, Trout Unlimited, DNR and San Miguel County to protect wetlands in Ophir. The Coalition worked with Town of Telluride to promote wetland function at the Beaver pond and Pine Street wetland. The Coalition is working with the USFS to identify restoration locations across the watershed on the GMUG using low-tech restoration techniques. Much of this work is focused around restoring beaver to the landscape and re-establishment of woody debris in the river. These techniques are a natural climate solution to create a well functioning, self-sufficient ecosystem that spreads water across the landscape, recharges groundwater stores, reconnects degraded rivers to their floodplains, restores wildlife habitat, resists wildfire and sequesters carbon.Develop an Integrated Hydrologic Model of the San Miguel Watershed - The Coalition has received a $250,000 grant from the Colorado Water Conservation Board and local governments to create a model to aid the Coalition and its partners in understanding the role of groundwater within the basin and projects the effects of different climate scenarios on our water resources. The modeling tool will also be used to design mitigation/optimization strategies for ecological restoration, agricultural operations, municipal water supplies, extreme events (fires, floods, landslides) and industry.Education and Advocacy the Coalition continues to provide critical information about issues that affect the greater watershed community and the governments and agencies that manage our landscapes and resources. These educational activities include a forest health forum at the Wilkinson Library, field trips with Telluride and Norwood schools, stakeholder meetings and newsletters. The Coalition hosted the 2023 Watershed Forum in Norwood, featuring presentations on the Stream Management Plan, regional climate, process based restoration, Colorado River issues and San Miguel Watershed issues.River Cleanups - The Coalition completed its second annual river cleanup of the popular BLM campgrounds and river corridor between Placerville and the Norwood Bridge in September on National Public Lands Day. The Coalition partnered with the BLM to host the event.Stream Management Plan - The Coalition is facilitating eighteen environmental and recreational, multi-benefit water projects developed in a five year stakeholder process to address nonconsumptive needs across the watershed. Wildfire and Forest Health - The Coalition continues to support Dr. Sibolds forest health monitoring in Bear Creek in the upper watershed. The Coalition is also playing a leadership role in partnership with the West Region Wildfire Council and San Miguel County to facilitate a stakeholder group to identify wildfire mitigation and forest health projects in the watershed. 28121 28121 LANCE WARING Director 1.25 0 TODD BROWN Treasurer 1.25 0 VICKI PHELPS Director 1.25 0 ROGER RASH Director 0.50 0 JIM WELLS President 2.50 0 EARL REAMS Director 0.50 0 MASON OSGOOD Director 0.50 0 CHERRI COOPER Director 0.50 0 GARRETT SMITH Director 0.50 0 ADRIAN BERGERE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 58800 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false TODD BROWN PO BOX 1601 TELLURIDE CO 81435 9707087916 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 65367 85081 116198 81852 78923 427421 0 0 0 0 65367 85081 116198 81852 78923 427421 0 0 427421 0 0 0 0 65367 85081 116198 81852 78923 427421 1.00000 0.99980 0.00000 0.00020 X Other Expenses.1005 Travel $119 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $3867 Other Expenses.1 FOREST HALTH STUDY $14530 Other Expenses.2 CONSULTING $10008 Other Expenses.3 WATER QUALITY MONITORING $7088 Other Expenses.4 STREAM MANAGMENT STUDY $6384 Other Expenses.5 FACILITIES $3750 Total Liabilities.1001 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Beginning $4002 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Ending $22759
