Home My WebLink About971750.tiff6-11-97 ROAD PRO3LEN AT WEST QUARTER CURPE R nF SEC 12-6-66 - 1 mile West & 11 mile South of Eaton maybe it was 1994. In 1995/when County Road 35 was paved, the roadbed was raised about a foot, and the shoulders were raised with gravel on edges of pavement. The slope of ground is from West to East. At the west quarter corner of Section 12 (cast quarter corner of Sec 11) there was a culvert to carry storm and tail water east to discharge into the Graham seep ditch. The culvert is undersized, espacially when a larger head of water accumulates during a storm or cloudburst, and so it flows over the paved road 35, and washes the gravel shoulder on Past side of paved portion nut into the field and also fills °ttoson's concrete headditch running parallel to the road 35. On the NW* 12-6-66, owned by me as Trustee, we incurred some crop loss and expense to get the gravel off the field --much of it had to be done by hand. The gravel accumulation into the field is the complaint. We don't want to run farm tools through that area of the field to mix it with the field soils; so it has to be removed. We did it in 1996, and now from the storm first week of June 1997 it is again covered by gravel, but this time only about 1/2 as much as it was a year ago. The solution has two parts --one to put a better sized culvert under the road at this spot. The other is not to use gravel for the east shoulder of the road. Use dirt so it won't foul up the field if some washes in a cloudburst. In nutting in a proper sized culvert, we have one bad problem or rather the County has a bad problem, as it probably would renuire tearing up the road to place the culvert, and may result in a permanent hump on that high -spend road, which would he a problem forever. This leaves the substitution of a dirt shoulder rather than a gravel ± nulder as an immediate, but probably not a full solution to the damage caused by raising the road level without fully engineering the storm -water run off structures. Thank you for anything you can do to solve the problem. William H. Southard Ph 353-1292 309 Norwest Bank 31dg Greeley 46C -C- 971750 MAP 19 R 66 Wit/C1INIA 9 HOME CAST B ELEC.

Southard 309 Norwest Bank Building Greeley, CO 80631 RE: WCR 35 between WCR 70 X WCR 72 Dear Mr. Southard: After careful consideration of the drainage problems that abut your farm land on WCR 35, Weld County is going to install a 48 -inch arched pipe culvert. It is our intention to leave the existing drain tiles, culverts, and the old concrete structures in place. It will be the farmers responsibility to construct and maintain a new drainage way upstream and downstream from the new 48 -inch culvert. Hopefully, this will alleviate most of the gravel run-off. If the weather cooperates, this project is scheduled to begin within the next ten days. If you have questions or comments, please don't hesitate to give me a call at (970) 356-4000, EXT. 3750.
