This project is located in Colorado Springs inside the United States Air Force Academy. "Several streams contributing to Monument Creek are being adversely impacted by erosion and sedimentation caused by increased stormwater runoff from off-base private developments. Serious stream down-cutting is degrading wetland and riparian habitats, fragmenting the landscape, exposing underground utilities, threatining airfield safety, and impacting populations of Federal (Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse) and state-listed (Rocky Mountain Cinquefoil) endangered species. Natural stream restoration projects are planned to stop the channel degradation and restore wildlife habitat resources, but damages are occuring at a pace that requires immediate stabilization of high erosion areas to prevent further impacts and reduce future restoration costs." AMEC has awarded Tezak Heavy Equipment the following construction phases to stop further degredation of the tributary creeks until permanent restoration projects can be implemented.

Phase I: Eastern Tributaries Stream Channel Stabilzation
Phase II: Black Forest Creek Restoration
