This Watershed Plan Environmental Assessment is to improve the surface and groundwater quality by reducing the agricultural contribution of heavy metals salts sediment, and nitrate contamination This will be accomplished through accelerated technical and financial assistance for the installation of on farm land treatment measures.

The purpose of this Manual is to provide guidance on preparing and processing documents that comply with NEPA and other applicable state and federal environmental laws affecting transportation projects in Colorado. This Manual provides references and links to related federal and state laws, executive orders, regulations, and policies. It also provides "best practice" examples for various compliance processes where appropriate. It is intended that CDOT staff, local agency representatives, and consultants use this Manual to implement NEPA in an effective manner, producing more consistent, improved environmental documents that decision-makers may use to make well-informed transportation decisions.
The FACWet was developed by surveying existing wetland rapid assessment methodologies and blending the best aspects these approaches with the most recent advances in wetland science.
