Restorative Maintenance of the South Platte River in the Denver Metropolitan Area
Restorative maintenance activities that repair degraded and damaged elements along the South Platte River in the Denver Metropolitan area have evolved over the last 15 years into environmentally sensitive approaches as compared to traditional river maintenance for flood-control purposes only. This paper focuses on the latest routine and restorative maintenance activities by the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District designed to protect urban infrastructure and, in the process, preserve and restore much of the environmental integrity of the river. This paper also discusses some physical constraints often encountered in urban areas that may preclude the use of purely bio-engineered or "soft" approaches to river restoration and maintenance.
