Steamboat Front WRAP Project Area

CCALT is working directly with four partner communities in the proposed project area of the Steamboat Front: Alpine Mountain Ranch, Catamount Ranch, Sidney Peak Ranch, and Storm Mountain Ranch. The focus areas for this WRAP that were chosen by the stakeholders include Lower Walton Creek, Upper Walton Creek, Yampa Valley, Highway 40 Corridor, Lake Catamount Inlets, and Upper Trout/Oak Creeks.

The analyses in the Wildfire Ready Action Plan focus on the impacts stemming from wildfire risk and potential post-fire hazards, and examines the long-term risk that is posed by changes in climate for the entire project area.

The Wildfire Ready Action Plan includes the following analyses:

  • Watershed Wildfire Hazard Assessment

  • Pre- and Post-fire Hydrologic Modeling for Twin Lakes

  • Fluvial Hazard Zone Delineation for Lake Creek

  • Post-fire Debris Flow Analysis for the entire project area
