About

Music-multimedia presentation of Post-Hewlett Gulch Fire aerial mitigation to protect the Milton L. Seaman Reservoir, the drinking water resource for the City of Greeley and Ft. Collins, Colo., on Friday, July 20, 2012. Helicopters airdroped straw onto barren, burned out tributary lands to mitigate soil and ash runoff from the mountainous terrain leading to this body of water. Rain runoff erosion has had dramatic effects in and on the normally clear mountain streams. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) funded three-quarters of operation.
