constraint and will not work within 200 feet of the intake. Additionally, the design team has <br />agreed to keep the Bureau of Reclamation project up -to -date on any improvements in order <br />to avoid any design conflicts as the project progresses. <br />The SWCD, though curious with regard to the design process, did not express any specific <br />design constraints. The design team has also agreed to keep this stakeholder abreast of <br />design developments as the design process progresses. <br />Associated Design Criteria: <br />• The site must not affect ALP. Specifically this includes avoiding any <br />improvements within 200 feet of the project's intakes. <br />In summary, the expected users associated with the park are varied and have varying <br />priorities, needs, and wishes. The design process has included input from many, if not all, of <br />these groups through a process that has included numerous meetings of the Animas River <br />Task Force, as well as meetings with the City, with the general public, and with associated <br />stakeholders in the project. It is expected that the City and the Animas River Task Force <br />will choose to evaluate in- stream improvement options based on many, if not all of these <br />constraints. The proposed design was compared to alternate designs during this process and <br />was selected, augmented and refined through input from the public, the City, the U.S. Corps <br />of Engineers and the Division of Wildlife. <br />Proposed Improvements <br />Process <br />Improvements, as noted, were considered at four sites. After review of the advantages and <br />disadvantages the design team made the preliminary decision to create conceptual designs <br />for improvements at both Schneider Park and at the Smelter Boating Park. These designs <br />were subject to preliminary review by the City and the Animas River Task Force, where it <br />was concluded that improvements at these two sites were the most viable and attractive <br />options to meet the City's intended purposes. This decision was made at a meeting in <br />18 <br />
