We analyze water chemistry, measure flow, and also perform habitat, fish, and benthic macroinvertebrate sampling. The water quality monitoring program is a voluntary program that includes grab samples collected at eight instream locations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e56e4bb1fb797198395d9a5/1587509631678-RUBMTYIO9H3O0PT69ZX3/OpenSpace.png Home - Watershed Plan In 2001, we completed a Watershed Plan focused on water quality improvement, which was approved by the Colorado Department of Public Heath and Environment. An update is underway that includes current watershed information and incorporates the 2016 Total Maximum Daily Load for E. coli. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e56e4bb1fb797198395d9a5/1589246330750-EU2AD771BWZOAYDLQWYK/petwaste3.JPEG Home - Reducing Pollution You can help protect Big Dry Creek even if you don’t live along the stream. How? By picking up trash in your neighborhood, collecting pet waste, practicing good lawn and garden practices at home, and implementing other simple everyday habits before these pollutants are washed downstream during a rain event into the creek. https://www.bigdrycreek.org/our-vision daily 0.75 2024-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e56e4bb1fb797198395d9a5/1589247107708-KYXVPNVIBQO30ID5AHRQ/fish+sampling+oct2018.jpg Activities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e56e4bb1fb797198395d9a5/1589247365751-RTHECK9YIQW3UFJXW9JL/Reports_Water%252BQualityCraig%252B20181204_133320.jpg Activities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e56e4bb1fb797198395d9a5/1592603062138-GV2GCUNBOK0EF77VRIJY/Activities%2BBDC%2Bpic1.jpg Activities https://www.bigdrycreek.org/reports daily 0.75 2025-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e56e4bb1fb797198395d9a5/1588112344245-JBOJ9ZL0TLI1VLWSLCML/REPORTS_WATERQUALITY.png Reports Annual & 5-year Water Quality Report for 2023 (WWE 2024) Annual Water Quality Report for 2024 (WWE 2025) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e56e4bb1fb797198395d9a5/1588112558929-KTE6BO09SCVYK0AP9VIM/REPORTS_BIOLOGICAL.png Reports Biennial Biological Monitoring Report (2020 & 2018) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e56e4bb1fb797198395d9a5/1589392115091-O3183CRWEMSG5DQEGKU2/REPORTS_STREAM_CHANNEL.jpg Reports Stream Channel Study (2017) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e56e4bb1fb797198395d9a5/1589392643985-0QAMPAPKLXLODXPKLS6D/04-16-08-00_raccoon-print3_400X400.png Reports E. coli TMDL (2016) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e56e4bb1fb797198395d9a5/1589392667515-KS2Y7UU32R8CKF9C85GX/Stream-Standards-04-19-06-004-beaver-dam_400X400.png Reports Watershed Plan -
