This grant is for ongoing research into the impacts of slurry pipeline operations. Its primary objectives include accurately measuring sand quantities, specifically gains at Gunnison and losses at the Critical Zone, to determine the volume of sand transported by the pipeline. A crucial component involves assessing initial habitat quality and monitoring its restoration following transfers. This continuation funding extends monitoring efforts across additional seasons, enabling comprehensive data collection on the long-term ecological effects. Furthermore, the grant will support detailed measurements of topography and macrofauna, providing critical insights into environmental changes associated with the pipeline’s operational testing. This work aims to ensure sustainable management practices.

| Description: | The purpose of this Task Agreement is: 1) measurement of the quantities of gains at Gunnison and the losses at the Critical Zone to establish the dimension of sand to be moved via the pipeline; and 2) measure of the initial habitat quality and the return to the initial habitat quality associated with the transfers. This continuation will provide monitoring results over additional seasons and will establish measurements of topography and macrofauna associated with testing of the pipeline operation. |
