Groups working toward Outstanding Waters designations on Western Slope creeks

The Outstanding Waters designation can be awarded to streams with high water quality and exceptional recreational or ecological attributes, and the intent is to protect the water quality from future degradation. Water samples are being collected on upper reaches of Woody, Hunter, Avalanche and Thompson creeks in the Roaring Fork basin.
