<br />Water Supply Reserve Account - Grant Application Form
<br />Fonn Revised May 2007
<br />
<br />articles Cost: $300.00 (in-kind)
<br />TASK 2: Produce an annual newsletter that is mailed to approximately 300 landowners, cooperating local, state,
<br />and federal agency officials, and political supporters.Product: (Publications) 3 newsletters Cost: $600.00 (in-
<br />kind)
<br />
<br />GOAL 2: CONSTRUCTION PHASE I SEDIMENT REDUCTION
<br />Continue the reach of the restoration work from CR 8 to CR 10.
<br />
<br />OBJECTIVE 1: Obtain Rock Material and Prepare Channel for Restoration
<br />TASK 3: A rock source has been secured from the Porco Quarry situated 2 miles away from the project site.
<br />Porco will deliver rocks to designated sites along the river. Product: 12,000 cu. yds. of rock material., excess
<br />rock could be applied to additional reach Cost: $312,000.00
<br />TASK 4: Gravel removal, Remove approx. 15,000 cu. yards of excess gravel material from the river. In return for
<br />Conejos County's in-kind assistance removing the gravel, ARWRF will donate the gravel to the county. Includes
<br />appropriate permits, landowner and CCBOC cooperation. Product: Gravel removal and donation Cost:
<br />$45,000.00 (in-kind)
<br />
<br />OBJECTIVE 2: Prevent est. 12,000 cu. ft. of bank sediment from entering stream system annually
<br />TASK 5: Construction
<br />1) ARWRF and RC&D will contract with an experienced and qualified construction firm. Construction to begin in
<br />Fall 2007 requiring approximately 30 weeks of construction over one year. Rock acquisition will be well underway
<br />or complete prior to work. Project schedule will be oriented on section and linear feet, with milestones roughly at
<br />every 5,000 linear feet between CR 8 and CR 10. To minimize impact, work will proceed during low or no flow on
<br />no more than 1,000 feet of channel at a time. Task includes mobilization/startup costs.
<br />2) Rock vane (160) and cross vane (17) construction, earth moving, in 2.8 mile section of Alamosa River. The
<br />proposed rock structures have proven to be highly effective in previous work and will substantially reduce bank
<br />and bed erosion and stream system sediment load. Product: Improvements to stabilize 15,000 linear feet of
<br />channel, reduce sediment, under the required 404 permit (All nationwide 27 permits expired on March 18,2007.
<br />Therefore we are modifying our original 404 permit under the US Corps of Engineers for the current project
<br />phase, in order to be able to place fill in a flowing waterbody, Le., Alamosa River.)
<br />Product: Improvements to stabilize channel, reduce sediment, under 404 permit. Conejos County does not
<br />require any permits for river restoration work. Includes equipment rental costs for rock placement/earth moving;
<br />labor, liability and workman's compo insurance, FICA; fuel/oil; work on EQUIP sections of river; survey equipment
<br />rental and supplies. Cost: $498,500
<br />TASK 6: Contingency and Operation and Maintenance, nearly 20% of construction costs will be used for
<br />contingency during construction. Fuel costs for equipment operation can fluctuate and also affect rock and
<br />hauling costs. Remaining funds will be used for future maintenance for 2 or more years. Product: Contingency,
<br />O&M Cost: $77,000.00
<br />TASK 7: Hire a Qualified Hydrologist, Steven Belz, Black Creek Hydrology, LLC, Northglenn, CO. Belz's
<br />previous experience on the project and broad success in river restoration qualify him as the proposed
<br />hydrologist. Belz will train and supervise local contractors. Belz will also perform site layout and as-built profile
<br />survey work. Product: Qualified hydrologist to implement project goals, supervising construction to standards.
<br />Cost: $85,800, incl. travel, lodging, per diem (based on government standards)
<br />
<br />GOAL 3: RESTORE RIPARIAN HEALTH
<br />Healthy bank vegetation, including willow, which is known to extract metals from water systems, is key in the
<br />overall success of riparian corridor restoration, channel stability and sustainable sediment transport.
<br />
<br />OBJECTIVE 1: Restore Riparian Health for project reach
