Clear Creek Watershed Groups

  • The Clear Creek Watershed & Forest Health Partnership (CCWFHP) is a partnership formed to address growing fire and water quality threats across the entire watershed encompassing Gilpin, Clear Creek, Jefferson and Adams counties. The Partnership is building capacity to implement forest and watershed resilience projects. These efforts support long-term watershed function, clean drinking water, and resilient habitats for both people and wildlife.

  • The Upper Clear Creek Watershed Association (UCCWA) is an organization designated under Section 208 of the Clean Water Act as the management agency responsible for reviewing proposed actions that may impact water quality in the watershed. Our membership includes municipalities, counties, dischargers and related entities located in the upper Clear Creek watershed, in Clear Creek, Gilpin, and Jefferson counties.
