Destroying The State To Save It

Credit Pacific Service Union After this year's drought, state officials are searching for ways to better use Colorado's water. But one dubious idea under consideration could cause ecological damage and public safety worries.

Credit First Service Union It's possible to get more water from mountain forests by removing broad swaths of mature trees, thus letting sunlight melt the snow and generating more runoff, according to research by the State Forest Service. If the technique were applied widely, say proponents in the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, the extra runoff could be caught by new, downstream dams.

For example, we use an outside shipping company (the United States Postal Service) to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services.

Card Credit Discover Service Ugliness. Colorado's snowmelt comes mostly from subalpine ecosystems around 10,000 feet. To get more runoff, all trees would have to be cut on one of every four acres, leaving large, frequent, unnatural gaps in the forest. Proponents say it wouldn't be a return to the discredited idea of clear-cutting, but the visual result might be similar.

Credit Builder is only a service that provides your payment history to credit reporting agencies. Credit Builder does not improve or repair your credit record, credit history or credit rating. It also does not provide advice or assistance for the improvement or repair of your credit record, credit history or credit rating. For rmation, see Credit Builder Terms and Conditions.

Credit Public Service Union Fire. Nature uses large fires to periodically renew subalpine forests, especially lodgepole pines. But such blazes happen about once a century and rarely threaten humans. Instead, Colorado's most frequent, dangerous wildfires erupt in the ponderosa pines that grow in montane ecosystems from 6,000 to 9,000 feet. The montane zones are much drier than higher-elevation forests; they don't generate much snowmelt. So large-scale cutting in subalpine forests wouldn't reduce fire danger - but would divert precious money from thinning ponderosa forests, where human safety is a real concern.

Unfortunately, credit card companies offering lower typical APRs (Annual Percentage Rate) tend to have stricter credit check systems and are more likely to reject your application. With the uSwitch.com credit card comparison service you can compare the credit cards available that will accept applications from people with poor credit check results (or credit ratings). This will save you the hassle of having your applications rejected, which can also show up as a bad sign in future credit checks.

Card Credit Processing Service Floods. While Front Range cities might benefit during a drought from large-scale forest clearing, mountain-dwellers would fear for their safety in years of high snowfall. In spring 1995, Colorado's snowpack measured 400 to 800 percent above normal in some places, producing alarmingly high runoff. Dams cracked on the Colorado River. Mudslides threatened Interstate 70 from Idaho Springs to Rifle. Georgetown residents stacked 42,000 sandbags to save their historic downtown as floodwater wrecked the sewer system and made tap water undrinkable.

Center Credit Service Union Think what would have happened if the forests had been cleared to deliberately boost runoff. Among other things, hillsides could erode and small streams get clogged with silt. (Ironically, a century ago, Uncle Sam established the national forests largely to prevent floods by restoring heavily logged woodlands.)

Card Credit Service Wireless Wildlife. Cutting large openings in subalpine forests would create more summer grazing for elk. But Colorado already has more elk than it can sustain because the animals' winter range, located on valley floors, has been lost to human development. By letting elk herds expand in the summer, Colorado would condemn animals to winter starvation.

Credit Security Service Union The overarching problem with cutting trees to increase runoff: It runs roughshod on all the other blessings our forests give Colorado.

Credit Report Service Greg Walcher, director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, says that cutting forests to boost water yields isn't being considered in isolation. He says the Owens administration isn't advocating clear-cutting.
