Chris <br />commented on arrival of emerald ash borer in Boulder: In eastern U.S., borer has <br />virtually wiped out millions of ash trees. It is unclear how the infestation will <br />progress along the Front Range, given the generally drier conditions and physical <br />distance between stands of trees. There are chemical treatments that offer some <br />temporary protection, but there are no ‘cures.’ Boulder County will be under <br />quarantine, and federal and state agencies will be involved. <br />VI.Flood 2013, Impacts to Louisville—Most of the effects in Louisville were due to <br />the tremendous amount of rain which fell in Coal Creek Canyon on September 12, <br />affecting the entire Coal Creek drainage through Boulder County. The golf course <br />and many parts of the Coal Creek regional trail were badly damaged.
