The High Country Conservation Advocates (HCCA) water program has worked for over thirty years to protect and enhance the water resources of the Gunnison River Basin against threats from trans-mountain diversion, mining pollution, overuse and mismanagement.

For nearly 50 years, the Public Lands Program has protected watersheds, wildlife, and communities from hardrock mining, clear-cutting, and more recently from natural gas development. HCCA also works to ensure that public lands travel systems are manageable and well-maintained so erosion and habitat fragmentation are avoided and mitigated. HCCA had significant input into the GMUG Forest Plan revision process, some of which is inluded in the final plan. 22290 0 27528 SAVE RED LADY HCCA continues its long-standing efforts to permanently protect Mt. Emmons from mining impacts by participating in the creation of new state mining regulations, continuing our legal challenges to the permit for a new mine tunnel, monitoring the quality of water discharged from the historic Keystone Mine, and challenging water rights held by the mine proponents. HCCA continues to work with State and Federal agencies, along with local elected officials, to ensure a permanent solution to the issue of mining on Mt. Emmons. 68741 0 99261 STEWARDSHIP - HCCAs Stewardship Program works collaboratively with land management agencies and community organizations to address climate resiliency through the coordination of on-the ground stewardship projects.
