Dan Schwindt: We would consider what you're doing as part of your presentation, <br />absolutely. Go ahead. Cnb Marchand: T73ank you. Mr.. Lacy, you mentioned that there aze -- <br /> <br />Woman: [unintelligtble] <br />Gib Marchand: You mentioned that there aze, if I heard correctly, essentially two <br />kinds of stxuctures, a low flow azea struchne and a high flow azea <br />strtruqture. Is that correct? <br />Gary Lacy: It's one strueture, that's a low flow portian of the strucilu'e and a <br />high flow portion of the same structure. ' <br />Man: Excuse me, do we need an icIentification for the record? <br />?Cnb Mazahand: And this is Gib Marchaud, asking 1Vtr. Iacy questions, co-connsel for <br />Upper Gunnison. Forgot to do tbat. Does the low flow, the flows <br />. associated with the low flow structure, are r.hey controlled by a <br />different physical struchare than the flows that occur, the higher <br />flows? That's wha# I'm trying to [crosstalk) <br />Gary Lacy: . S'es,. thz..f lows. from =o to 250 cubic £eet per secand are controlled <br />by the physical dinnension, width and elevation, of large boulders <br />placed at those elevatims and dimensions to coj*ol and capture that <br />flow at the low flow. And similarly, at the higher flow of 250 efs, <br />th.ere's a vvider opening and depth to capture and confrol that high <br />-flow vv:ith that structure: <br />Cnb Marchand: Doeg the low flow area accomm?odate as wide a vazieiy of users and <br />s1a1l ievels as the bigh fldw area.? <br />'Gary Lacy: No ft does not: It's mucb, much narrower. It's pnmarfly to ,}ust, as <br />we sa.w today, very low flow. Xf the rest of the structurE were built, <br />you itay be able to get down the river at the low flow. So it?s to <br />concen#rate the flow and 250 c£s is preriy loyv for this river. So I <br />purposely made it natrow so you can ha.ve depth to get down the <br />river. But the maiti purpose is just to, at the higher #low rates which <br />do occur quite often in ttus reach, to fill that high flow reach and - <br />crea,te the real whitewater features fha.t we're looking fvr in this <br />project. So it's very Iimited as to the type of man.euver version, type <br />. af abilities, differemt things you can do in a very narrow jet of water. <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />September 10, 2002 Hearing Transcript <br />Page 31
