<br />Recreation Mitigarion Study
<br />
<br />Jamison Picnic Areal Catfish Flats & Fox Run Group Picnic Areas
<br />
<br />Swim Beach and Vicinity
<br />
<br />Impacts in the Swim Beach vicinity are the most substantial of all facilities located along the shoreline, The
<br />entire Swim Beach site and associated parking area would be inundated and a number of other facilities
<br />would also be affected, The mitigation concept is described below and is illustrated in Map 3,2,
<br />
<br />In addition to impacts to recreation facilities, a portion of the entrance road would need to be realigned
<br />and a major segment of the main park road would have to be located further inland, Realignment of the
<br />main park road would also require a new bridge crossing of Deer Creek, The new roadway alignments
<br />are shown in Map 3,1 and discussed in more detail in Appendx I, Roadway design criteria are presented
<br />later in this chapter,
<br />
<br />All utilities servicing this area would need to be relocated,
<br />
<br />The mitigation plan for this area is presented in Map 3,2,
<br />
<br />Swim Beach
<br />
<br />Swim beach area is completely inundated at 5444,
<br />The facility would be relocated to the south west of the current facility, A swim beach area of similar
<br />quality to that presently existing could be developed at this location,
<br />In order to construct a beach, the existing facility will need to be demolished and excavated, Sand
<br />will need to be saved and also imported to create the new beach environment. The excavated material
<br />will assist in filling low areas that would be inundated at 5444 to ensure these areas are usable at this
<br />proposed elevation,
<br />The current buildings, lawn area, and recreational facilities would be rebuilt in the new location,
<br />The proposed location would require the Chatfield interior road to be relocated, This road would be
<br />elevated to ensure operations at 5444 and in the case of a flood event higher,
<br />
<br />Deer Creek
<br />
<br />Much of the Deer Creek area is 50% inundated at 5444,
<br />Due to new road alignment that is dictated by the relocation of the swim beach, the amount of usable
<br />area near the Deer Creek site is reduced in size,
<br />Balloon staging area would be relocated to the southern area of the reservoir due to the large amount
<br />of area required and need for overflow parking area for the balloon festival.
<br />Existing day use facilities would be relocated along the new Deer Creek inlet shoreline,
<br />
<br />Entrance Station
<br />
<br />Due to road realignments, the entrance station would need to be relocated, The existing facility will
<br />require demolition. The new facility would be built approximately 200' from the existing one,
<br />
<br />All the existing entrance roads, parking, shelters, restrooms, and utilities would be inundated, New parking
<br />facilities would be developed closer to each of the group use areas, thereby enhancing access to these
<br />areas, These areas, which currently don't directly relate to the water, would have an improved setting,
<br />each situated on an elevated site overlooking the reservoir, As noted on Map 3,2, the coves adjacent to the
<br />group use areas would be excavated, providing fill needed at other locations, but these excavations would
<br />also help to hold water during lower water conditions,
<br />
<br />Jamison Dav Use Area
<br />
<br />The entire area is relocated south of current location, Parking and restroom facility will require
<br />replacement. Furniture can be relocated to the new location,
<br />
<br />Catfish Flats and Fox Run Group Day Use Areas
<br />
<br />Each structure, furniture and recreational facilities would be relocated to new location,
<br />The large parking area would be demolished and each use area would be serviced by a dedicated
<br />parking area located adjacent to each site,
<br />Filling would be required to raise site elevations at selected locations,
