3.0 FBE]i,D ANALYSES <br />The field analyses conducted in the Phase I investigation consisted primarily of interviews <br />with ~'elter County personnel and City of Woodland Park personnel. Property owners and I <br />' intereste~i citizens also contributed to the information base through discussion ~vhile in the field. <br />The anal}~ses can be grouped into two sections, survey of Fountain Creek and reconnaissance of <br />_ stream an.d watershed instability. <br />t <br />~ <br />' 3.1 Survey of Fouatain Creek <br />A survey ofFountain Creek near the El Paso-Teller County boundary at Creek Side Drive, <br />f upstream to the intersection of Woodland Avenue and Laura Lane in Waodland Park was <br />~ <br />conductecl on 12 October, 1996. The survey was conducted by Colorado State University, Civil <br />Eragineeri~ig Department graduate students. The intent of the survey was to develop an adequate <br />description of Fountain Creek for the purpose of hydraulic modeling, to be conducted in Phase <br />Two. Re~sults of the survey will be placed in a HEC-2, or HEC-RAS format for analysis. The <br />survey was conducted using a total station, Pent~ Model FCS-1S. <br />t A preliminary comparison of the 1988 FEMA and the 1996 CSU profile of the bed of the <br />~ <br />stream is :~hown on Figure 2, which ns pre5ented in five she~ts. Comparison of the 1988 and the <br />1996 data ;indicates that aggradation begins about 300 feet upstream of Crystola Canyon Road, i.e., <br />~ the CSU triangle symbol is above the FEMA line. Aggradation continues upstream generally to <br />A.spen Crarden Way. Degradation predominates from Aspen Garden Way, upstream past Sheridan <br />Avenue a~id into the proposed park area. Therefore, in general terms, Aspen Gatden Way is <br />presently a pivot point in Fountain Creek, with aggradation downstream and degradation upstream. <br />6 <br />
