The South Platte River Program was begun in 1987. It was established in order to provide special attention to the South Platte River, which is the receiving body of water for all the other drainageways in the District. The District Board annually will allocate construction project funds based on timing of projects, availability of matching funds, relative need and priority of proposed improvements, and compatibility with the South Platte River master plan. The District will share in the cost of capital improvement projects on the basis of a minimum contribution of 25% from the participating local government. In addition to capital improvement projects, maintenance is a primary activity. The District may contribute up to 100% of the cost of maintenance activities. Other efforts include cooperative projects with property owners to stabilize river banks, acquisition of right-of-way, floodplain preservation acquisitions, detailed inventories of facilities and properties along the river, periodic surveys of the river to track and assess horizontal and vertical movement of the river channel, and cooperation with local governments in floodplain preservation and recreation projects. The program staff consists of a senior project engineer and an engineering inspector.
