<br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Conclusion <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The proposed Durango Boating Park is an ideal site for an International level Boating Park. <br />A proposed design has been the basis of an RICD application at this site. This design was <br />created by a licensed Engineer in the State of Colorado with extensive experience in boating <br />park design. The design was created through an extensive public design process that <br />included input from a variety of stakeholders over an extended period of time. The <br />proposed design and claimed flows are the minimum required to meet the City's intended <br />purpose as outlined in this report. In addition, the following facts, outlined in this report, <br />support the City's claim for the RICD: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />1. The park will be designed, using HEC-RAS to adequately pass all flows up to and <br />including the 100-year flood flow without causing adverse impacts to upstream, <br />downstream or adjacent property owners. Similar parks of similar design have <br />shown that this type of design is possible. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />2. The design will be constructed of large grouted rock and will be anchored into the <br />bed and banks of the river. All structures willl be anchored to bedrock or beneath <br />the scour depth of the river. These structures are designed to adequately withstand <br />stream forces for all flows up to and including the 100-year flood so that damage to <br />and failure of the boating course can be avoided. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />3. The slope of the proposed boating park is greater than .5%. The length of the <br />boating park is longer than 1000 feet and the boating park has already demonstrated <br />that it has the necessary physical characteristics to host an international level <br />competition, <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />4. The structures proposed for the boating park are designed to capture, control, and <br />divert the flows of the Animas River for all flows claimed Structures of this type <br />meet all definitions of hydraulic control and are being used to provide for similar <br />intended uses in other boating parks in the state. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />(i;;r) \'i. 1 ;a:y. :J,I-. <br />-i~~ ,\I'~'J1":ll>C ,\\.'
