Book excerpt: The Upper South Platte Watershed located in Park County is recognized by multiple agencies as a priority for identification and protection of its natural resources. Excess sediment and its consequences are thought to be an important source of ecological degradation throughout the watershed, and the need for mitigation and restoration, and for water and land protection is well understood. The extent of the problem and locations of primary concern are not well documented. This study aims to fill this knowledge gap by identifying locations where activities could produce the greatest improvements.
