NEBRASKA 68102 i I REPLY TO SL.t' ATTENTION OF August 29 , 1981! Planning Division Engineering Lcprr,n:ant Mr . Rod Hutchison Department of Engineering 933 North 11th Avenue P.O. Box 758 Greeley , Colorado 80631-0758 Dear Mr. Hutchison : We are nearing completion of the Initial Appraisal Study of an erosion problem on the South Platte River that is threatening a county road located approximately 1 .5 miles northeast of Kersey, Colorado. The study is being completed under the authority of Section 14 of the 1946 Flood Control Act , as amended. Two possible solutions for correcting the erosion problem were investigated. Alternative 1 would consist of continuous stone-fill revetment placed immediately riverward and parallel to the eroding bankline. The stone would be placed at a material application rate of 4.1 tons per linear foot of bankline. The total length of the revetment structure would be 1 ,100 linear feet. A windrow refusal would be necessary at the upstream end of the revetment to prevent continued upstream erosion from flanking the revetment. A plan view and typical sections of the alternative are enclosed. The total cost of the alternative would be $247,000. Alternative 2, the selected plan, would consist of two segments of stone-fill revetment and four hardpoints. The typical section for the stone-fill revetment would be identical to the description for alternative 1 . The four hardpoints included with this alternative are designed to deflect the higher velocity flows away from the eroding bank. Each hardpoint consists of both a stone and a stone spur. The stone root extends landward to preclude upstream erosion from flanking the structure, and the stone spur is placed riverward to redirect flows. A plan view and typical sections of the alternative are enclosed. The total estimated Federal cost of this alternative would be $186,000. The estimated non-Federal costs for lands, easement and rights-of-way would be $2,000. The annual cost of operation and maintenance is estimated at $2,000 and would be the responsibility of Weld County. -2- Before we can complete the Initial Appraisal Study report, Weld County, as the local sponsor for the project, must indicate its willingness and ability to provide the required local cooperation. To accomplish this, five documents are enclosed. These are an Agreement for Local Cooperation, a Certificate of Authority, a Certificate of Approval , a Declaration of Financial Ability and an Assurance of Compliance with the Department of Defense Directive Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Weld County Board must approve the project along with the documents and authorize the appropriate County officials to sign the documents on behalf of the County. This approval and authorization may be in the form of a resolution. One signed copy of the resolution should be returned to us when completed. The Agreement for Local Cooperation, Certificate of Authority, Certificate of Approval , Declaration of Financial Ability and Assurance of Compliance with the Department of Defense Directive Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and subsequent acts, should be signed as indicated. Three signed copies of these agreements should be returned to us. We would appreciate your returning the signed documents to us via express mail by September 11 , 1984, in order for us to keep this potential project moving ahead on schedule. If this cannot be done or if you have any questions, please call the project manager, Mr. Jim Vodicka at (402) 221-4628. Our final report and the signed agreement will be submitted to the Corps of Engineers' Missouri River Division office and to the Office of the Chief of Engineers for review and approval. The Omaha District Engineer, Colonel William R. Andrews, Jr. , will sign the Agreement on behalf of the United States after the report has been approved by the Chief of Engineers. We will then furnish you a copy of the Agreement and of our final report. If the project proceeds on schedule, we should be notified of project approval in October 1984. If the project is approved, award of a construction contract is scheduled for March 1985. The project is scheduled for completion in April 1985. S' ro erely , vid L.
