More Info
In 2017, the Town of Parker (Parker), Mile High Flood District (MHFD) and CCBWQA began work on Cherry Creek at the McCabe Meadows Trailhead which is located downstream of Hess Road and about 9.9 miles upstream of Cherry Creek Reservoir. The Project includes stream reclamation which provides water quality benefits for the stream and ultimately Cherry Creek Reservoir. Stream reclamation reduces erosion and immobilizes nutrients (including phosphorus and nitrogen) in the soils, reducing the nutrient concentrations in the water. The Project immobilizes an estimated 34 pounds of Phosphorus per year and a water quality pond on the west tributary provides additional water quality treatment.

The 2020 Stream Reclamation Project continues this work on approximately 2,000 Linear Feet. The 2020 Project includes stream reclamation which provides water quality benefits for the stream and ultimately Cherry Creek Reservoir. Stream reclamation reduces erosion and immobilizes nutrients (including phosphorus and nitrogen) in the soils, reducing the nutrient concentrations in the water. The Project immobilizes an estimated 34 pounds of Phosphorus per year.
