<br />PLAN FORMULATION <br /> <br />As a result of cert.ain emergency flood protect ion measures <br /> <br /> <br />implemented during the 1984 flood fighting activities, the town's <br /> <br /> <br />waste water treatment systems, roadway crossings, and floodprone <br /> <br /> <br />areas were protected from d isast rous flood los,ses. <br /> <br />The Uncompahgre River in recent history has demonstrated <br /> <br /> <br />erosive forces, excessive sedimentation loads and flood problems <br /> <br /> <br />which must be considered in any project design. In the <br /> <br /> <br />development of a plan-of-improvement the plan must: <br /> <br />o Incorporate existing protection measures <br /> <br /> <br />o Consider the river's erosive forces <br /> <br /> <br />o Maintain the existing river alignment <br /> <br /> <br />o Be cost effective <br /> <br />The study reach was divided into four design reaches. These <br />reaches are: <br /> <br />Reach I - Town's Lagoon upstream to station 64 + 00 (North <br />Corporate Limits) <br /> <br />Reach II - Station 64 + 00 upstream t.o Highway No. 348 <br /> <br />-11- <br />
