<br />e <br /> <br />September 29. 1999 <br /> <br />lYIike Meininger <br />Mesa County Engineer <br /> <br />Grand Junction, CO 815 I <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Meininger: <br /> <br />This letter is in regards to the need for a solution to flooding problems along Bosley Wash in the <br />un-incorporated Clifton area. <br /> <br />Bosley wash is located between 34 and 35 Roads, it is a drainage wash for Mount Garfield. On three <br />separate occasions this summer, July 24, 1999, August 11, 1999 and September 13, there was <br />extensive flooding from rain storms. The July 24th storm was approximately .69 inches, and the <br />August 24th storm was approximately. 75 inches. Due to multiple problems, the wash overflowed in <br />multiple areas and properties were damaged by both water and silt. In some cases 12" to I 8" inches <br />of silt was left on driveways, lawns, fields etc. resulting in many thousands of dollars in damage. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />We would like to see a study of the problem and a solution decided upon as soon as possible. befure <br />next spring when the rains will come again. We don't want to be flooded again. <br /> <br />All of the neighbors of the Wash and other nearby neighbors have been meeting to find a way to <br />make sure this flooding doesn't happen again. On September 28, 1999 we met with John Ballagh of <br />Grand Junction Drainage District, Larry Lang ofCWCB, Stuart Gardner 'With CDOT, Ed Hill with <br />CDOT, Kathryn Robertson with BLlYL Mike DiLuzio with NRCS. Jim Currier with 1'IRCS, Matt <br />Smith State Representative and yourself to discuss what could possibly be done to assure that this <br />doesn't happen again. <br /> <br />We would appreciate any assistance you could offer. <br /> <br />Attached is a description of the floods as well as a list of property owners with their signatures who <br />were affected by the flood and their brief comments. There are also signatures of concerned <br />property owners in the immediate area of Bosley Wash. <br /> <br />Sinc~rely, .-' <br />/--" . ., -/~~ ......' _c.': <br />,~-:::>--,,::,~ ~- /C-;.- /, "-'_- <br />r " . . .Z:a..-j~ . <br />L.,,/~'--<--/ --- /-.-- ~ <br />- .(.:-../ c__.'-., <br />Spokesperson for concerned citizens <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />cc:Matt Smith <br />encl. <br />
