The project mission was the repair of a severely eroded channel in a developing area in Northglenn. Its areas of valuable natural resources were protected and emulated in the new design. Using bioengineering techniques and boulder drop structures, the channel invert was controlled and the banks cut back and stabilized. A pond traps the sediment, garbage and debris, to improve storm water quality. A concrete trail, running the full 6,000-foot length, connects to the Platte River trail system.

A safe and enjoyable open space was created for the people of Northglenn and surrounding areas.
