Up to 7.5" of rain fell in a short period of time causing various <br />damages to infrastructurf and private property (see my memo dated July 29). <br /> <br />Due to this event, the County Emergency Manager (Larry Zimmer) phoned and asked if we <br />I <br />could provide technica~ assistance in the form of post-flood documentation and to suggest <br />possible mitigation strategies. Mr. Zimmer said he would be very appreciative if someone from <br />our office could meet 'Yith him this week. In response to the flood and to his request, I have <br />scheduled the.following!site visit: <br /> <br />· Carolyn and Tom leave Denver at 7:30 am Aug. 4 <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />· Meet with Larry Zin?-mer and Water Commissioner Aug. 4 around 11 am . <br /> <br />I <br />. Perform field investigations in upper Saguache Creek watershed including high water marks, <br />channel cross-sectiohs, and slopes for indirect flow estimates. Rainfall bucket survl~YS to the <br />extent possible. Photographs of damage areas and affected streams. Eye-witness accounts <br />and flood history if possible. <br /> <br />Work a long day on Wed., and stay in Saguache or Salida on Wed. night. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Return to Denver Thurs. morning. <br />I <br /> <br />Estimated travel cost = $150 (lodging and per diem for Tom and Carolyn) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />If you do not agree witp. this proposal, please let me know by 4pm on Aug. 2nd so that we can <br />change or cancel the plahs.
