TASKS <br />Provide a detailed description of each task using the following format <br />TASK 1 -Reshape Riverbed <br />Description of Task <br />To begin the process of shaping the river, to the condition that existed before <br />excessive movement occurred, about 15 years ago. <br />Method/Procedure <br />Stabilize streambanks and improve the conditions of the riverbed sufficiently to minimize <br />channel movement until phase 2 begins. This task will include increasing the depth to <br />width ratio of the channel in anticipation of high flows this spring. <br />Deliverable <br />Reduce maintenance demands of diversion structures <br />Create a channel that will hold expected waters of the Conejos River <br />Decrease near bank velocity <br />TASK 2 - J-Hooks <br />Description of Task <br />Beginning in spring of 2009 under the supervision of Pete Gallegos of NRCS, Robins <br />Construction will begin hauling rocks for the construction of the J-hooks and prepare the <br />channel and banks. Robins'construction will place the rocks to form 5 j-hooks and <br />stabilize banks. The final step of this phase is to re-vegetate the impacted areas with <br />willow clumps and clean the area. The total estimated cost for this phase is $56,000.00. <br />This includes engineering and in kind <br />Method/Procedure <br />The task for the placement of J-hooks will follow standard accepted procedures and <br />will conform to MRCS specifications. In addition, Manassa Land & Irrigation <br />supervision and consultation will be provided, ensuring that these specifications are met. <br />The J-hook vane is an upstream directed, gently sloping structure composed of natural <br />materials, in this case rock. The structure is designed to reduce bank erosion. <br />Deliverable <br />Reduce erosion and prevent sediment deposition <br />Create a channel that is visually compatible with the natural surroundings <br />Maintain fish passage at all flows <br />Decrease near bank velocity <br />TASK 3 -Core and Diversion Gates <br />Description of Task <br />Fall of 2009 Robins' Construction will begin construction of a temporary diversion <br />to allow water flows to continue. Once the temporary diversion is complete, Robins' <br />construction will begin demolition of the existing core and diversion gates. There <br />should be approximately 20 yards of debris to be disposed. This phase should take <br />about 2 days. The diversion gates will be the next construction project. Using MRCS <br />designs and oversight, Robins will build the cast in place portion and install two radial <br />type gates. This phase is proposed to use up to 160 cubic yards of concrete plus rebar, <br />2 <br />
