Gunnison County Designation
Designation Request Letter
February 6, 2002

As of the completion of the Gunnison County, Colorado Unincorporated Areas Hydrology Addendum,
we had not received Gunnison County's designation request letter. However, we spoke with spoke with
Mr. Neal Starkebaum, Gunnison County Assistant Planning Director. He is favorable of the designation
and indicated that he would return the designation request letter. The following summarizes his
comments:

. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is currently doing detailed studies for the Gunnison River north of
Gunnison, Ohio Creek, East River, Slate River, a reach of the Crystal River and Tomichi Creek east
of Gunnison. These are the areas with the most development pressure.

. They generally have not experienced any signficant problems with the mapping.
