Weld County
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AUTHORIZED WORK
In accordance with the terms and conditions of this permit, Weld County is
authorized by the Secretary of the Army to place fill material in the Big
Thompson River at mile 4.95 in conjunction with a bridge replacement project
and channel relocation located in Sections 1 and 6, Township 4 North, Range
66 West, Weld County, Colorado.
The project consists of excavating a new channel approximately 300 feet north
of the existing location. The new channel will be approximately 800 feet long
by 6 1/2 feet deep with a 40-foot bottom width. The sides will be shaped to
a 3-foot horizontal to 1-foot vertical slope. The excavated material will be
placed in the old channel.
The new bridge will consist of two spans; approximately 80 feet long (total
length) by 32 feet wide. A clear distance of approximately 10 feet to the
bottom of the river will be provided to increase the water flow capacity.
Steel "H" piles will be used for back walls and center pier.
It is also intended to minimize the erosion and maintenance of the southern
bank of the river by placing approximately 200 cubic yards of broken concrete
riprap. The riprap will be a maximum size of 18 inches by 24 inches by 24
inches and will be used along the new channel at key locations.
The purpose of the project is to provide a permanent and safe structure for
public use.
