Sand Creek Near Channel Sediment Reduction Phase VI Xanadu
Six years of water quality monitoring found that the middle Sand Creek subwatershed contributed 10 times the amount of sediment to Sand Creek than any other subwatershed. A feasibility study was completed in 2015 identifying the highest sediment producing sites within the middle Sand Creek subwatershed and also the Picha Creek tributary watershed. This study used LiDAR analysis of regression rates and sites were chosen for field reconnaissance based predominately on the estimated sediment savings. This one project should stabilize over 250? of eroding streambank along Sand Creek. The eroding bluff is roughly 22 feet in height from the stream toe to the top of the bank. The estimated sediment savings from stabilizing this site are roughly 46 tons per year and estimated phosphorus savings from stabilizing the site are roughly 46 pounds per year.

(a) $13,591,000 the first year and $13,375,000 the second year are for performance-based grants with multiyear implementation plans to local government units. The grants may be used to implement projects that protect, enhance, and restore surface water quality in lakes, rivers, and streams; protect groundwater from degradation; and protect drinking water sources. Projects must be identified in a comprehensive watershed plan developed under the One Watershed, One Plan or metropolitan surface water management frameworks or groundwater plans. Grant recipients must identify a nonstate match and may use other legacy funds to supplement projects funded under this paragraph. & (a) $21,197,000 the first year and $22,367,000 the second year are for performance-based grants with multiyear implementation plans to local government units.

There will be +250' of linear streambank that will be stabilized. The estimated sediment savings from stabilizing this site are roughly 46 tons per year and estimated phosphorus savings from stabilizing the site are roughly 46 pounds per year.
