Fountain Creek Corridor Restoration

Matrix is providing engineering services to the City of Pueblo for two demonstration projects which will utilize innovative approaches to improving water quality in and along Fountain Creek.

These studies will benefit water quality improvement systems with a bed load sediment collector system to selectively remove problem sediments and evaluate changes in stream morphology and channel reestablishment, as well as a 25-acre off-channel detention basin to provide wetlands habitat and evaluate flood attenuation and pollutant reduction. The goals are to increase flood storage and slow the flood wave, while also improving water quality through bio-chemical and physical processes.
