~ '. Memorandum to Rod Kuharich 8/23/2006 Page 3 An allocation of $50,000 was used, along with fl:Jnds that had been allocated to flood hardening projects in I. previous years. to flood harden several critical stream gaging sites. The following table is a summary of the flood hardening projects initiated or complet~d in FY06: Arkansas River at La Junta $4,500 Arkansas River below Catlin Dam Cableway Work $3,500 South Platte at Waterton Cabl~way. $4,300 South Platte at Kersey $3,060 South Platte below Chatfield Reservoir. $3,800 Cucharas River at Boyd RancW $1 ,160 Arkansas River at Canon City* $1,600 Bank-operated cableways and hiqh flow msmt'eQuipment $16,150 Surface Creek near CedaredQe. cableway* * work at gages marked with (*) is only partially complete and will carryover into FY06. Refurbishment of ExistinQ Stream GaQes in FY07 DWR, in responding to the needs of CWCS, COEM, LEM and NWS, requests $55,000 for refurbishing existing stream gages. Approximately half of Colorado's satellite-linked gaging stations are located in the rivers and streams of the state. The others are located in reservoirs, ditches, and canals. The electronic equipment is attached to mechanical equipment in and along the stream channel, and electronically relays the data sensed by the mechanical measuring devices. If the mechanical equipment and associated stream gage structures are not properly maintained and periodically refurbished, the quality of the data diminishes. . In FY07, refurbishment projects have been identified at the following sites (sites and amounts may change due to circumstances): So Platte at Julesburq (Channel 4) $3,200.00 So Platte at Julesbura (Channel 1) $1,000.00 Arkansas River at Granite $1,300.00 Purgatoire River at Trinidad $500.00 Lake Creek above Twin Lakes $3.000.00 Rule Creek near Toonerville $550.00 North Channel Coneios R. near LaSauses $500.00 IN. Branch Coneios R. near Coneios $2,100.00 I Roubideau Creek at the Mouth near Delta $5.000.00 $12,000.00 I Milk Creek Ivanhoe Creek $1,200.00 Ii South Fork Fryingpan River $1,800.00 t~an River near Ivanhoe Lake $1,200.00 Ii D;v 6 shelt~r and Ground system UPGrades $1,500.00 I Willow Creek bl Steamboat Lake $1,100.00 II Williams Fork at Mouth near Hamilton $500.00 il Florida R. above Lemon Reservoir $3,000.00 .
