Additional Explanations

FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

The specific purposes and objectives of the corporation are but not limited to restoring and maintaining the resilience, ecological health of the big thompson watershed for the benefit of economic, agricultural, private lands, recreational interests and water resources. The corporation will develop and maintain a master plan (final, may 2015) and its amendments and addendums for the watershed for the development and conservation of the big thompson watershed and its watershed and ecosystems, including the river, forests, lands, plants and wildlife, for the benefit of the entire watershed community.

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 2

The btwc made significant changes in program services due to the catastrophic wildfires in 2020 and 2021. Current major programs focus primarily on fire recovery, watershed health and wildfire mitigation, and landowner outreach.

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4D

Adaptive management, co-co aim, cedar park/sylvan dale fire prevention, glen haven safe forests, colorado water conservation board water plan, and bureau of reclamation water smart project to set strategy for btwc

Form 990, Page 12, Part XII, Line 2C

Records in quickbooks were reconciled with bank and credit card records before extracting data for form 990. With the total of federal grants being well below 750k, the lack of available cpa resources and the cost of an independent audit, it was decided not to seek an independent audit. The btwc did employ a cpa firm to complete the form 990 for 2021. 2021 was the first year that the btwc was not operating under the financial systems of the estes valley land trust(evlt). This explains the 2020 form 990 showing 0 employees since the evlt was the employer of record in 2020.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0IMPLEMENTATION ACTIVITIES: THE CAMERON PEAK FOREST FIRE BURNED SO HOT THAT THE SOIL BECAME HYDROPHOBIC WITH MINIMAL ABILITY TO ABSORB WATER. IN ADDITION TO INCREASED RISK OF FLOODING, THE HYDROPHOBIC SOIL AND DESTROYED VEGETATION RUNNING INTO THE RIVER CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH WATER QUALITY. THE TYPICAL REMEDIATION APPROACH IS TO COVER THE SOIL WITH A RECOMMENDED MULCH. SOME OF THIS WORK CAN BE DONE ON THE GROUND BUT MUCH OF IT OVER EXTREME TERRAIN MUST BE DROPPED FROM HELICOPTERS. MULTIPLE PRIVATE AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THIS MULTI-YEAR PROJECT WITH THE BTWC PROVIDING LEADERSHIP AND COORDINATION.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt7RECORDS IN QUICKBOOKS WERE RECONCILED WITH BANK AND CREDIT CARD RECORDS BEFORE EXTRACTING DATA FOR FORM 990. WITH THE TOTAL OF FEDERAL GRANTS BEING WELL BELOW 750K, THE LACK OF AVAILABLE CPA RESOURCES AND THE COST OF AN INDEPENDENT AUDIT, IT WAS DECIDED NOT TO SEEK AN INDEPENDENT AUDIT. THE BTWC DID EMPLOY A CPA FIRM TO COMPLETE THE FORM 990 FOR 2021. 2021 WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT THE BTWC WAS NOT OPERATING UNDER THE FINANCIAL SYSTEMS OF THE ESTES VALLEY LAND TRUST(EVLT). THIS EXPLAINS THE 2020 FORM 990 SHOWING 0 EMPLOYEES SINCE THE EVLT WAS THE EMPLOYER OF RECORD IN 2020.
