This presentation will provide an overview of the Fountain Creek Watershed District's new ILF Program, including how it works, why it matters, and how it can support both regulatory compliance and meaningful ecological restoration throughout the watershed.

Topics will include:

• ILF program fundamentals, including its purpose, structure, and regulatory framework
• Why and how the Fountain Creek Watershed District is implementing the program in El Paso and Pueblo Counties
• Stream and wetland mitigation crediting
• Potential restoration opportunities along Fountain Creek
• Service area, implementation timeline, and when mitigation credits will be available for purchase
• Regulatory compliance considerations

Whether you're a regulator, consultant, local government staff member, or anyone involved in stream and wetland permitting or restoration, this is a great opportunity to learn about an important new mitigation option in southern Colorado.

A meeting link will be emailed to attendees the morning of the event.
