A R ESOLUTION E STABLISHING F UND 2 9 3 –
S PEARFISH C REEK R ESTORATION F UND
W H E R E A S Spearfish Creek, from which the City of Spearfish would eventually
earn its name, was the engine of early economic development in the northern Black
Hills by powering Homestake Mine and bringing drinking water to Lead and
Deadwood; and
W H E R E A S the reliable summer flows of Spearfish Creek made it possible to
irrigate Spearfish Valley and feed a growing population; and
W H E R E A S the presence of Spearfish Creek and its year-round, cold-water
habitat inspired the introduction of all trout into the Black Hills of South Dakota and
Wyoming, resulting in a renowned trout fishery; and
W H E R E A S the waters of Spearfish Creek nourish riparian habitat for fish,
birds, and wildlife and support the maintenance of a unique and diverse ecosystem;
and
W H E R E A S the ice-cold waters of Spearfish Creek provide a place to swim,
kayak, wade, tube, splash, and a refreshing respite from hot summer days; and
W H E R E A S Spearfish Creek and its presence in the background of life in
Spearfish continues to be the hallmark of the community it bisects; and
W H E R E A S in 2011, the City of Spearfish acquired the “Hydro 1” hydroelectric
power plant from Homestake Mining Company to preserve the flows of Spearfish
Creek through the City of Spearfish and to continue generating electricity into a
second century; and
W H E R E A S , Hydro 1 uses water from Spearfish Creek to generate clean,
renewable electricity, which nets gross profits above the normal operating and
maintenance expenses of Hydro 1 and its necessary associated infrastructure; and
W H E R E A S the Common Council of the City of Spearfish desires to preserve
and enhance the natural beauty and historic treasure of Spearfish Creek for the
benefit of the Spearfish community and future generations,
N OW T H E R E F O R E , B E IT R E S O L V E D by the Common Council of the City of

such funds are received by the City.
B E IT F U R T H E R R E S O L V E D the funds contained within The Spearfish Creek
Restoration Fund shall be appropriated for projects that protect, maintain, and
enhance the cultural, aesthetic, recreational, agricultural, economic, and natural
attributes of Spearfish Creek.
