• <br /> Atachment B-1 <br /> Public Land Alamosa River Watershed Restoration <br /> The proposal by the U.S. Forest Service (Rio Grande National Forest) is for a project <br /> valued at$160,650, and requests $80,325 in NRDA funds and includes $80,325 in <br /> matching funds. <br /> The project area is the Alamosa River from a point just above the confluence with <br /> Wightman Fork down to the Alamosa River Campground. The project would include five <br /> separate reaches on the River. Four areas with actively eroding stream banks would be <br /> stabilized, wetlands adjacent to the Alamosa River would be reestablished, aquatic <br /> habitat would be restored with the use of rock constructed cross-vanes and j-hooks and <br /> the river in one location would be reconstructed from its current braided condition into a <br /> single thread channel. <br /> Comments <br /> 1. Forest Service will supply rock and in-kind services. <br /> 2. CDPHE will contract directly with the construction contractor. <br /> 3. USFS match will be procured by the CDPHE for use by CDPHE <br /> 4. USFS will prioritize the five projects for funding/construction purposes. <br /> 5. There are continued concerns of upstream non-permitted stream activity(Delbert <br /> Smith). Funding is contingent upon the assessment and design that eliminates <br /> any potential negative affect on the USFS projects. <br /> 6. There are continued concerns with management of the bed load. The USFS will <br /> determine if the proposed project structures will result in movement of bed load <br /> downstream. And further, the USFS will determine if a sediment trap is <br /> necessary in the Site #1 project Wightman Fork confluence and if future <br /> maintenance is required. <br /> 7. Future maintenance may require another project in the next round of Alamosa <br /> River NRD Solicitation of Project Proposals. <br /> Contingency <br /> 1. Funding for Reach 1 Project is contingent upon further design and assessment <br /> due to bed load above The Reach 1 project which could negatively impact it. <br /> Appendix A <br /> Alamosa River Natural Resource Damage Recovery Fund Trustee Review <br /> Page 6 of 6 <br /> r • o • <br />
