Our scientific strategy for restoring Gore Creek’s impaired waterway. The Gore Creek Action Plan provides a framework for Town of Vail initiated actions designed to address current water quality impairments and aquatic health issues affecting Gore Creek and its tributaries. Plan actions target the three known causes of degradation, including:
• Pollutants from land use activities
• Drainage from impervious surfaces
• The loss of riparian and streamside vegetation
Vail Golf Club - Gore Creek Enhancement Plan: An Appendix to the Gore Creek Strategic Action Plan
The Town of Vail, in collaboration with Vail Recreation District, Wright Water Engineers, Inc. (WWE) and project partners, has adopted the Vail Golf Club Gore Creek Enhancement Plan as an addition to the Gore Creek Strategic Action Plan. This appendix builds upon the goals and objectives established in the Strategic Plan by identifying targeted enhancement and restoration opportunities along Gore Creek and throughout the Vail Golf Club property. Based on robust studies of hydrology, habitat and water chemistry in Gore Creek and the Golf Club ponds, the Plan proposes changes to vegetation management, landscape chemical applications and tree management, as well as targeted projects to improve riparian habitat and restore natural stream hydraulics.
