Landowners' concerns were heightened significantly following <br />the storm events of July and August 2004. This section summarizes the findings ofWWE's field <br />visits and interviews with landowners in early 2005. <br /> <br />Between January and May 2005, WWE staff met with the following Weld and Adams County <br />landowners and observed flooding and erosion related problems at locations marked on Figure 8: <br /> <br />. John and Gary Howard <br /> <br />. Don Wright <br /> <br />. Tom Chikuma <br /> <br />. Don and Barbara Rosenbrock <br /> <br />. Joanne Wagner (Gary Skelton, Ranch'Manager) <br /> <br />. Glenda Ira <br /> <br />. Bob Green <br /> <br />. Vicinity ofE-470 <br /> <br />Observations from visits to these properties follow, along with photographs illustrating some of <br />the problem areas (Appendix A). All properties had been previously visited, photographed or <br />documented in either the Big Dry Creek Stream Survey (WWE 2000) or Streambank Analysis <br />and Recommendations for Big Dry Creek (Gossenauer and Wachob 2001). Property formerly <br />farmed (and photographed) by Barry Marrs that was included in previous studies is now owned <br />by the Wrights and was included in the field visit. All of the individuals participating in the field <br />visits had attended the December 2004 Big Dry Creek Watershed Association meeting and <br />expressed interest in participating in the study. Other landowners in the watershed are reported <br />to have similar types of concerns; therefore, the observations below should not be considered to <br />be the only major issues on the creek. <br /> <br />971-179.092 <br />June 2005 <br /> <br />Wright Water Engineers, Inc. <br /> <br />Page 41 <br />
