Timnath Inlet Fish Passage Project
WaterSMART Abstract
The City of Fort Collins (CFC), along with its partners, is seeking WaterSMART funding
to restore habitat connectivity for native plains fishes by installing a fish passage
structure on the Timnath Inlet diversion in urban Fort Collins. The structure will restore
12.43 miles of upstream passage for a suite of nine native plains fish species, including
three Species of Greatest Concern, as well as introduced trout. Reversing habitat
fragmentation is a key conservation action for native plains fishes that continue to
decline in the Cache la Poudre River, particularly in its urban reaches. This project
builds on a wave of fish passage projects on the Poudre River upstream and
downstream of the Inlet.
This project will construct a fish passage structure on the Timnath Inlet, a major barrier
to fish movements in an urban reach of the Cache la Poudre River. The focal native
plains fish species that will benefit from increased habitat connectivity through the
implementation of this project are Creek Chub, Fathead Minnow, Johnny Darter,
Longnose Dace, Longnose Sucker, White Sucker, along with three Colorado Parks &
Wildlife Species of Greatest Conservation Concern: Iowa Darter (Tier 2), Plains
Topminnow (Tier 1) and Orangespotted Sunfish (Tier 1).
The CFC has made substantial progress in the planning and design phases of the project
including partnering with the Cache la Poudre Reservoir Company (structure owners)
and investing in a conceptual design with partners Onefish Engineering and Colorado
Parks & Wildlife (CPW). Design is anticipated to be complete in August 2020. If
awarded, WaterSMART grant funds will be used to support the funding gap for
construction costs and a post-implementation monitoring study. Activities include
constructing the fish ladder, modernizing the structure with bypass flow capacity,
installing a flow gauge, and incorporating necessary structural improvements to
support the fish ladder. The CFC and its partners will begin construction in fall 2020
with completion in spring 2021, leveraging $211,145 of committed matching funds from
the CFC and the City of Greeley. Following construction, the Larval Fish Laboratory
will conduct a two-year study to determine passage effectiveness.
