In 2012, the Tamarisk Coalition, in coordination with Tetra Tech and the City of Grand Junction, developed restoration recommendations for the Colorado River from Loma to Palisade. The recommendations, which are presented as an engineering appendix, were designed to support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers effort for developing and evaluation the Colorado River Ecosystem Restoration project, in accordance with Section 206 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1996.
