Box 459 Greeley, CO 80632 SUBJECT: Determinations of Eligibility and Effect,CDOT Project STA 0661-009, Stream Realignment/St.Vrain River,Weld County(SA15236) Dear Mr. Moreno: This letter report and enclosed materials constitute a request for comment on Determinations of Eligibility and Effect for the transportation project referenced above. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)plans to minimize further scour to the St. Vrain River Bridge(5WL3007/CDOT Structure No. D-17-AK)on State Highway 66. The bridge is located approximately 3.8 miles east of Interstate 25 in Weld County. SURVEY RESULTS In June 2006,CDOT Assistant Staff Historian Robert Autobee conducted research through the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation(OAHP)Compass database and at the Western History Section of the Denver Public Library, the Colorado Division of Water Resources and Colorado State Archives in Denver, and the University of Northern Colorado's Michener Library Archives in Greeley. A field survey of the project area identified two historic resources: the St. Vrain River Bridge(5WL3007)and a 1,000-foot segment of the Last Chance Ditch(5WL1975.3). As part of CDOT's 2000 Historic Bridge Inventory, the St.Vrain River Bridge(5WL3007)was determined not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places(NRHP). Further consultation is therefore unnecessary according to the terms of the 2003 Historic Bridge Programmatic Agreement. However,the 5WL3007 site form is enclosed for your convenience. ELIGIBITY DETERMINATION 5WL1975, 1,000-foot segment of the Last Chance Ditch: The Last Chance Ditch begins on the south bank of the St.Vrain River in Township 2 North,Range 68 West in the northwest quadrant of Section 3. The ditch continues for 7.5 miles before it empties back into the St.Vrain west of the town of Gowanda. Originally appropriated in June 1882,the Last Chance is associated with the initial period of irrigation development(1870-1882) in Northern Colorado. Because of the limited scope of the project, CDOT did not inventory the entire Last Chance Ditch but based on archival research, and pending a full field survey, it appears to be eligible under Criterion"a"for its role in establishing irrigated agriculture in Weld County during the late 19th century,and possibly under Criterion"c"as a characteristic example of an early irrigation feature in Weld County. We have determined that this 1,000-foot segment retains enough integrity to support the overall eligibility of the canal. al hsLivx /1C v<yq Olt ai 44 2006-2231 0 5"--• /%-flG Mr.Moreno August 3,2006 Page 2 EFFECT DETERMINATION CDOT investigations indicate that scour is threatening the St.Vrain Bridge's southeastern abutment and piers. The channel upstream of the bridge is significantly misaligned as a result of the migration of the river since the 1950s. The project will realign the river's flow to more closely match historic conditions and prevent further damage to the bridge. These actions include changing the stream's approach angle approximately 300 feet upstream through an island formed in the floodplain between the river and Last Chance Ditch. The proposed changes will not directly impact the bridge, but will require excavation of the stream channel and placement of dredge and/or fill materials along the east and west banks of the river. Associated activities include staging and stock piling materials and equipment, construction of a temporary access road and other stream diversion features. Rechanneling the St.Vrain River may temporarily impact 5WL1975.3,but these affects will be restricted to the confluence of the river and the ditch. Please refer to the attached illustration for more information. Construction will not permanently alter the qualities and historic associations that make 5WL1975.3 eligible, and therefore we have determined that the project will result in no adverse effect. As a local governmental organization with a potential interest in this project, we welcome your comments regarding our determination of eligibility. Should you elect to respond,we request that you do so within 30 days of receipt of this letter. If you have questions or require additional information,please contact Mr. Autobee at(303) 757-9758.

Resource Type:Road Railroad_ Ditch/Canal X Trail Other(specify): 6. Resource Description: The site is a 1,000-foot segment of the Last Chance Ditch,an earthen channel crossing agricultural and open lands in Weld County. The resource is 7.5 miles long and varies in width along its length. In the recorded segment,the ditch is nine feet wide at the top and 2.5 feet high. The inventoried segment begins 1,000 feet south of the St. Vrain Creek Bridge(5WL3007)and heads northward before terminating beneath the bridge. 5WL3007 carries State Highway(SH)66 over the recorded segment. 7. Original use:Irrigation canal Current use: Irrigation canal 8. Modifications(describe): In the 1950s,the Colorado Department of Highways(CDOH)constructed the St. Vrain Bridge and made improvements to SH 66. CDOT has monitored active lateral migration of the St.Vrain Creek since construction of 5WL3007 and these meanders migrate laterally and downstream. The Creek's migration has affected the banks and flow of the Last Chance Ditch in a 300-foot long area where both features converge. 9. Extent of Resource:The 7.5-mile long Last Chance Ditch draws water from the St. Vrain Creek. The ditch begins on the creek's southern bank at a head gate located in Northwest quadrant of Section 3, Township 2 North and Range 68 West. 10. Associated Artifacts: None 11. Associated Features or Resources: The Colorado Department of Highways(CDOH)constructed 5WL3007 along SH 66 in 1956. The St. Vrain Creek continues northward under the highway while the Last Chance Ditch terminates beneath SH 66. III.RESEARCH INFORMATION 12.

The introduction of agriculture and the concurrent establishment of small farming-based communities throughout the valley required the transportation of water. The first year of Weld County's gamble with irrigation— 1870—saw two events that helped Euro-Americans establish a toehold in this previously unoccupied land. First,was the completion of the Denver Pacific Railroad from Cheyenne to Denver. The railroad quickly and safely brought people from the East and solved many problems associated with the transportation and delivery of supplies. Second,was the establishment of the Union Colony near today's Greeley. The amateur water engineers' first attempts at ditch digging and diversion symbolized launched a 12-year period of irrigation development in Weld County. The first notable system was a network of canals leading out from Greeley. Completion of the Greeley Canals No. 1, 2 and 3 established a pattern that other Weld County homesteaders quickly followed. Formed in Platteville in 1872,the Last Chance Ditch Company is a typical example of early Weld County farmers and homesteaders banding together to form a corporation for the local good. The original ditch measured 7.5-miles long nine feet wide on the bottom, 14.5-feet wide on the top and carried 42.30 inches of moisture and most rights holders used their water to irrigate haylands. A notable participant in the Last Chance Ditch Company was Charles W.Burbridge. Burbridge arrived in Colorado Territory in 1860 and worked as a freighter hauling supplies across Northern Colorado. By the early 1870s,Burbridge established a farm three miles west and a mile south of Plattevillle. On his death in 1936 the Longmont Ledger newspaper acknowledged Burbridge's role in creating"a flourishing irrigation section four miles east of Longmont to Gowanda . . . which always has well-watered crops even when other sections are dry." By 1882 near all the valley's large canals were complete. From the 1880s to the early 20th century, Weld County irrigation development focused on extending previously built canals and constructing ditches to bring water from other drainage basins. The Last Chance Ditch has maintained its historic association with the first years of irrigation development in Weld County and continues to serve local agriculture. 16. Sources: Cinnamon,Marvin H.

Yes No X Date Is this a field determination? Yes X No Resource Number: 5WL1975.3 Date: 07/28/06 Linear Component Form Page 3 Remarks/justification: Because of the limited scope of this bridge replacement project,CDOT did not document the entire 7.5-mile long Last Chance Ditch. Construction of the ditch occurred during the first 12-years of homesteading in Northern Colorado. Created in 1872-73,the Last Chance Ditch symbolizes an era when homesteaders banded together as corporations and built and maintained ditches and laterals. This 1,000-foot segment of the Last Chance Ditch is eligible under Criterion"a" for its role in establishing irrigated agriculture in the Cache la Poudre valley in the late 191h century. Based on a July 2006 field survey, the integrity of the recorded 1,000-foot segment is fair. However,the segment retains enough integrity to be a good example of late 19th century ditch construction in Weld County and is eligible to the NRHP under Criterion"c". 18. Eligibility of the segment being recorded: Contributing X Non-contributing Not applicable Remarks/justification: Dating from the early 1870s,this segment is associated with the early establishment of irrigation in Weld County. The segment's integrity is fair and contributes to the potential eligibility of the entire Last Chance Ditch. 19.
