ly <br />? 25 <br />ju.st north.of where now?C-47Q. crosses the.South PTatte, <br />and. the other: two str-uctures. are downstream: of that ' , <br />structure. They are separated, I:would estimate,.by at. <br />leas.t several hundred yards. of stream. in between ea.ch structure,: and: the construction' there ?primarilyi .. <br />consistsof boulclers,.-rocks that have been placed and <br />stablized with concrete with a -boat, chute?or an openi.ng :. <br />through the structure wh'icYi.spans the, river to allow <br />passage of .boat's. So to compare Golden to,e:ither one <br />o.f those; I would say Golden's course is. much more' <br />sophisticated. It'.is well engineered,in termsof each :.. <br />struct.ure is designed, to integrate with the next,. structure downstream, so that all eiglit,structures <br />become p a r t of: the eritire whitewater.experience as opposed to Fort Colliri.s where tfiere.is onTy one boating <br />experience, that.'s.when you go through the chute at.:- the . <br />power. dam, and with' the. Littleton course where. you haye <br />tYiree boat.chut.es,. but each one is separated by a :s.u.bs'tantial amount of st,ream lehgth. ? . . <br />Q. How would you compare the three different.. <br />cour.ses with respect to comtrol. and diver.s:ion of water? <br />,A The Golcien cour.se controls, the stream f.rom the.- entrance to the whitewater course to the,terminus, <br />and to a far greater extent:than ei.the.r th.e Fort ? <br />Collins or theLittleton course.:. .
