Due to concerns that the hydrologic regime of the wetland complex in and around Summit Lake Park has been significantly altered by development of State Highway 5 (SH 5), a field study of the hydrology, soils, and vegetation above and below the roadway was initiated in 2018. The objectives of this study are to investigate the natural hydrologic processes and vegetation up-gradient from SH 5, and how they may be impacted in down-gradient areas. A review and synthesis of the road design elements that mitigate the effects of freeze-thaw and permafrost degradation, as well as minimize hydrologic disruption to adjacent wetlands is also included.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is one of the most progressive and technically advanced parks and wildlife management agencies in North America. That is in no small part thanks to a dedicated professional staff working at all levels of the agency. Many of the most important things that our agency does are products of applied research by our research scientists. We have our own science program that has served this agency for over seven decades. Its work is devoted to developing and refining the tools and practices our agency uses on a daily basis to conserve and manage Colorado's fish, wildlife and park resources.
