The development of the St. Vrain Creek Watershed Master Plan was supported in part by the Lyons Watershed Advisory Board, which sunset in 2018. Click here to review the Watershed Advisory Board's previous records and activity.
This plan updates a previous plan completed in April 1998. In addition to the basic updates of that plan, this plan modernizes the techniques used for runoff determination at various storm events, introduces concepts of updated codes and standards, water quality treatment of runoff, identifies areas at risk for flooding or inundation during various runoff events, identifies large scale capital improvement costs for the major runoff basins, identifies alternatives that could be considered in developed and undeveloped areas of the Town and adjacent unincorporated areas of Boulder County, and other important elements of a storm water master plan.
