Bosley Wash collects the <br />surface runoff from a geological structure named Mt. Garfield. The surface flows across BLM and <br />private property within the drainage basin. <br />There are two local governmental agencies capable of assisting the property owners, but lack the <br />necessary funds to either engineer or implement a basin study to be followed up with some actual <br />construction project to mitigate the negative impacts of the natural courses of the area: I am <br />recommending that Mesa County and the Grand Junction Drainage District seek some grant funding <br />through your offices to conduct a study that will enable them to jointly pursue the ways and means <br />to prevent reoccurring damages from these types of storm events in this area. <br />Y� ' <br />�re tserry <br />State Representative <br />District 55 <br />cc: Mesa County Commissioners <br />P.O.
