Rocky Mountain Canoe Club

Notes to RMCC members – February 2019

From Lynne Carpenter, Trip Master RMCC

Good evening all!

To see this as a Google doc (it may be easier to read) please go here. This first informational email has a LOT of information and events; subsequent emails will be smaller.

I hope everyone is happy with their lottery applications – I know I am breathlessly waiting news of my successful lottery permit applications. Ha!

Overall, the RMCC board is focusing this year on 1) getting us all out on the water! and 2) increasing visibility of and (hopefully) member participation (volunteerism – is that a word?) in river conservation efforts around the state. For this reason, I will be sending out monthly(-ish) combined notices (like this one) to 1) provide information to our members and 2) to reduce the number of emails out to our members. That being said, if you learn of an event or want to send out a question or comment to our club members, that is what the Google Groups and Facebook group is for – please use these tools!  If you are ok to wait a little bit, you are welcome to send the information to me and I’ll include it in the next information note to members around the beginning of each month. The RMCC board is also exploring the idea of adding a page to the website with this sort of information.

In each monthly email, I’ll highlight events that I have learned since the previous email.  Upcoming events will remain on the email until their scheduled time has passed (new RMCC members are added throughout the year).

Please find information that may be of interest to you as a club member and/or as a member of the paddling community below.

Board meeting

The board met (via phone) on January 28th to discuss a number of topics. Takeaways:

  • We have a new board member, Zach Allen, QuarterMaster. Please tell him thank you when you meet him!
  • The board is very interested in increasing the stewardship opportunities and conservation awareness of our club members.The club discussed the best method to select and award funding to a conservation organization, program or activity this year. Lindsay Meeks is leading that objective. Kathryn Mutz is working with Wildlands Restoration Volunteers for opportunities that club members may be interested in. Lynne Carpenter is compiling a list of river cleanups, citizen scientist opportunities, and other conservation activities throughout Colorado that club members may be interested in.
  • The club discussed partially sponsoring ACA instructor certification by our members (canoe, swiftwater).
  • Current plans are for the board to meet quarterly.
  • The board discussed what is appropriate to put on the RMCC calendar (so as not to overwhelm the calendar).
  • The board discussed adding an “events” page to the RMCC website to publish non-official RMCC events for members (like the information in this email).
  • The board discussed what went well and what could be better for next year’s permit party.

Lottery Permit applications

Boating-related trainings / practises:

Note: “RMCC club events” are also on our website and calendar. I am only including instructor certification classes and free classes in this listing, except for RMCC hosted classes. There are a multitude of boating classes throughout Colorado.

  • Online: Swiftwater Awareness course: Lynne note: I took this class – the first module is probably good for new boaters to learn the river terminology (such as “river left” “pillow” “hole” etc.). The second module is more first-responder swiftwater related. Overall a pretty basic class. The class is free. Takes about an hour.

  • April 10-14 (Embudo, NM): ACA Level 2-4 SwiftWater Rescue Instructor Certification Workshop. $450 “The ACA has a long history of leading the industry in the best instructional guidelines for all aspects of river running and safety.  This five day course is for experienced boaters and rescuers who want to become Swift Water Rescue Instructors.

However, this is no guarantee that you will earn that level of certification.  Not everyone will receive “Full” Essentials instructor certification, especially if this is their first exposure to formal paddling instruction. No worries! There are means for upgrading within about a year.

Water-related jobs of interest:

Citizen Science opportunities:

  • River Watch Colorado. River Watch volunteers come in all shapes and sizes. School groups, watershed monitoring groups, community groups and individuals all serve as watershed stewardship volunteers. Some groups monitor multiple sites on as many rivers; others focus on one specific site in their region. The common link between them all is their appreciation and dedication to the waters of Colorado. If you have the sincere interest and desire to become a River Watch volunteer, we welcome your efforts and will do all we can to assist you in starting your program! Learn more about our Volunteer Groups! What do volunteers do? Because of the nature of our programs adherence to scientific methodologies, volunteers are required to commit to sampling once a month on their respective site for a continuous year. River Watch staff will provide training and equipment to the volunteer and provide continuous support and supplies to ensure your program’s success. How can I get involved? Interested volunteers must participate in a training before becoming part of our program.
  • The Western Slope Conservation Center has been collecting important water quality data in the North Fork of the Gunnison River watershed for over 15 years as part of the Colorado River Watch program. The North Fork of the Gunnison has one of the longest, most consistent sets of data of any river in Colorado, thanks to our dedicated volunteers.  Our volunteers sample and analyze water from many sites along the North Fork river system. Because of their commitment, we know a lot about our local water quality. Go here for more information.

Recorded webinars of interest:

  • Eagle River Blue Trail. American Rivers, a national river conservation organization, has developed a network of Blue Trails to help people connect with special rivers. The Blue Trails program works with local partners to link communities and their rivers through access, recreation and informed stewardship. It also helps foster a sense of “ownership” for the rivers and the lands through which they flow. The Eagle River has been chosen by American Rivers to become a Blue Trail. In doing so, the Eagle River will be following in the footsteps of other projects around the nation. Ken Neubecker, Eagle River Blue Trails coordinator for American Rivers, long-time Eagle County resident and former ERWC board president, presented on the status and future of this project. The Eagle and Colorado Rivers face new challenges, and a new generation of residents and visitors alike who care for them. Watch the full presentation here!
  • The Colorado Water Plan. Do you wonder how water is managed in our state? Did you know that Colorado is one of the few Western states operating without a State Water Plan? Under Gov. Hickenlooper’s direction, Colorado is in the process of creating such a plan, one that aims to forge “a path forward for providing Coloradans with the water we need while supporting healthy watersheds and the environment, robust recreation and tourism economies, vibrant and sustainable cities, and viable and productive agriculture…” (coloradowaterplan.com). Ken Neubecker, Eagle River Blue Trails coordinator for American Rivers, long-time Eagle County resident and former ERWC board president, brought us up to speed on this exciting and complex process. Like ERWC, the Ken Neubecker is a member of the Colorado Basin Roundtable. Holm described the ways in which Roundtable members are working to advocate for Western Slope water interests and to ensure that legislation is crafted with those interests in mind. Diane Johnson of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District focused on the process at the local level, and spoke about the Eagle River Basin Principles. Watch the full presentation here!
  • Eagle River Valley State of the River. Watch the State of the River video. (May 29th, 2013)
  • State of the Fisheries 2015. We learned first-hand from Colorado Parks & Wildlife Aquatic Biologist Kendall Bakich about a variety of topics regarding the status and management of the Eagle and Upper Colorado River fisheries. “The fish in Eagle County are not only an incredibly important resource for the area, they are one of the most outstanding resources in Colorado,” said Bakich. “We wanted to give the public an opportunity to hear how their local fisheries are doing directly from the people who manage them.” Bakich presented her most recent survey data regarding the variety of fishes and populations currently found in the Eagle and Upper Colorado Rivers. She provided insightful hypotheses about why the fisheries might look the way they do, and explained CPW’s fisheries management strategies. You can watch the full presentation here. A big thanks to Public Access TV5 for filming all of our Watershed Wednesday presentations!
  • Abandoned & Inactive Mines. Ron Cohen, Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, has seen it all. His research and expertise in microbial treatment and remediation of mine wastes has taken him around the world. As a lecturer and consultant, Prof. Cohen has shared his expertise in places as diverse as South Africa, India, Brazil, Ghana, Canada, China, Russia, and England. He has also worked on many projects around the state of Colorado, including the Eagle Mine Superfund site. We had a great lunch-time conversation with Professor Cohen, in which he spoke about inactive and abandoned mines in the Rockies, with a particular focus on the Gold King Mine incident and the implications for us in Eagle County. You can watch the full presentation here. A big thanks to Public Access TV5 for filming all of our Watershed Wednesday presentations!
  • Paddling Around the World. Seth and Jessica Mason of the U.S. Men’s and Women’s Whitewater Raft Teams shared their experiences paddling rivers around the world, and how different cultures interact with water as a resource. Seth, a hydrologist, and Jessica, a water resources engineer, offered a unique perspective of rivers outside our own borders. Watch the full presentation below. A big thanks to High Five Access Media for filming all of our Watershed Wednesday presentations!
  • Colorado River Inventory & Assessment. After realizing that little data existed for the 55 miles of the Upper Colorado River running through Eagle County, Eagle River Watershed Council sought to fill this gap. The natural starting point for this effort was to conduct a full, science-based inventory and assessment of the ecology of the river corridor, its tributaries, and the surrounding area. ERWC worked in conjunction with the Colorado State University Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering to create the Colorado River Inventory & Assessment, which was released in July 2014. Bill Hoblitzell, water quality consultant for the Watershed Council, did a fantastic job outlining projects & policy suggestions from CRIA and explaining the implications it will have for the mighty river running through our backyard. Watch the full presentation here!
  • Graywater Reuse. Graywater is water that has been used for washing hands, for showers and baths, and laundry water. In a residential household or apartment, it accounts for about half of the indoor water use, and half of the wastewater generated. CSU professors Larry Roesner & Sybil Sharvelle have been studying possible, non-potable uses of graywater since 2002. Based on findings from this research, Drs. Roesner & Sharvelle are actively assisting CDPHE to develop regulations for graywater reuse in Colorado. If the Regulations are practical and encourage graywater reuse, Colorado could save up to 85,000 acre feet/year of additional demand for water. Dr. Larry Roesner has more than 40 years’ experience in water resources, water quality engineering and management. He is a nationally-recognized expert in the development & application of hydrologic, hydraulic, and water quality simulation models. Since coming to CSU in 1999, Dr. Roesner has specialized in integrated urban water management, concentrating on use of graywater for outside irrigation and toilet flushing.
