About This Project

The Cherry Creek at Scott Road project is a significant endeavor led by Douglas County and the Mile High Flood District (MHFD), with Naranjo Civil Constructors as the prime contractor, Muller Engineering as the design engineers, and Western States Reclamation handling revegetation. This project focuses on creek restoration and floodplain mitigation to enhance ecological health and community accessibility. Spanning from Scott Road upstream, the initiative addresses flood control, channel stability, and habitat improvement. By improving drainage capacity and mitigating flood risks during major precipitation events, the team aims to protect the community and promote a healthier environment. This collaborative effort underscores a commitment to sustainable infrastructure, public safety, and environmental stewardship, ensuring long-term benefits for the local community. The Cherry Creek at Scott Road project is primarily a stream restoration effort that aims to enhance the natural flow and stability of the channel. Key improvements include the creation of riffles and careful grading to re-establish the creek’s natural contours, alongside vegetation enhancements to stabilize the banks and improve the overall ecosystem.
