EXPECTED DATE FOR RESPONSE.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Narrative:
Mr. Coan and Mr. Roskop describe a drainage problem where a tributary to
Lost Creek crosses WCR 63. Larger rain storms do wash out our roads
and flood & erode Coan's farmland. We cannot fix the flooding on Coan,
but we will contact him to request entry to construct a "stilling pond" similar
to others we've built in the Keenesburg-Roggen area for similar problems.
These ponds prevent the road overtopping and reduce downstream
damages. We start with a phone call followed by on -site meeting and
request for entry (see attached).

Re: Weld County Road 8 drainage Issues
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Coan:
Weld County Public Works received your expressed concern about the drainage issues on CR 8. As you
know, there is a tributary of Lost Creek on one of your properties. We have had good success in
reducing erosion problems where these creeks cross our roads by construction of "stilling ponds" on the
upstream side. These we design in cooperation with the landowner/farmer with very gentle side slopes
so that the maximum amount of farmable ground is preserved. We would like to meet with you at the
site to discuss that option (and any ideas you may have). Would you telephone either myself or Steve
Detienne at the number above to set up a meeting?
In order to perform any construction work out of the County's Right -Of -Way, we need the landowner to
sign a "Right to Enter" release. I've enclosed one so that you may look it over and can raise any
questions you may have when we meet.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Sincerely,
David Bauer, P.E., CFM
Director, Weld County Public Works & County Engineer

ONER
On Weld County Road 63, approximately % mile north of Weld County Road 8,
there is a culvert under the road. This culvert carries irrigation waste water and
storm water.
At least twice in recent years, storm water has run over the top of the road at a
depth of several feet because the culver is not large enough to handle the flow.
On the east side of the road there is a 15 foot drop. The flow has been large
enough to significantly damage the east side of the road as the water goes over
the road and drops these 15 feet.
If a car tried to cross this flow in a heavy storm the car could be swept off the
road and into the 15 foot deep gulley. In addition the storm water backs up into
my field and floods the area shown on the map.
I am requesting a review of the situation and correction so that the storm water
does not flow over the top of the road and does not back up into my field.
Mr. Leonard Roskop lives in the home shown on the aerial photo. He is also
concerned as this is the route he takes to reach State Highway 52 and would be at
risk crossing this area during a storm.
Thank you for correcting this safety issue.

�'�'�i O �4?
At the %z mile line on Road 8, between Roads 63 and 65, there is a storm water run-off issue
that could pose a hazard to the homes/residents in that area.
In a heavy storm, water can run across the top of Road 8 in the locations marked on the photo.
The borrow pit on the north side of Road 8 was increased in capacity about 5 years ago, by the
County, to help direct the water to "Lost Creek", which is to the west.
However, the storm water could still run across the top of the road. In such a storm, water will
also run across the top of Road 8 at "Lost Creek". The residents of the two homes could then
be prevented from entering or leaving, either east or west, on Road 8.
The water can then also run across my property causing soil erosion.
Request
If the capacity of the borrow pit on the south side of Road 8 were increase then the water
would not run across the top of Road 8. The water will still go to "Lost Creek", but will do so
without crossing the top of Road 8. The length of the south borrow pit, to have the increased
capacity, would be about 1,500 feet as shown on the aerial photo.
If the disposal of the soil from the south borrow pit is of concern, there is a location, on my
property about 1 mile away, that has eroded due to storm water run-off. The excess soil could
be placed there.
Sincerely,
Mike Coan
