<br />I <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. David Walker <br />August 9, 1989 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />A special feature of the Bureau's model study was the definition of flow velocities and flow <br />direction for boating evaluation. This is a valuable aspect of the study. <br /> <br />One important finding of the Bureau's is that the proposed boatchute will not adversely <br />affect the Englewood intake structure. With the reduced existing hazards associated with <br />the intake, the net impact of the proposed CWCB project will be beneficial to Englewood. <br /> <br />The report is professionally written and it represents quality hydraulic engineering work <br />with significant social and public health, safety and welfare benefits. <br /> <br />The Bureau points out that the existing configuration of the structure "can trap a boat or <br />person and is hazardous when a boat goes over the dam." They go on to state that <br />"recreational boating has become more popular on the South Platte in recent years; <br />therefore, boater safety has become a primary concern." <br /> <br />Dr. Ronald Rossmiller, P.E., of our office has reviewed the Bureau draft report in detail <br />and is pleased with the recommended design criteria provided. In a unique and complex <br />project of this nature, seasoned professional hydraulic engineering studies, as represented <br />by the Bureau work, are beneficial to all concerned for risk and hazard reduction. <br /> <br />You may wish to provide a copy of the final Bureau report to Englewood so they can <br />determine the care and thoughtfulness of the planning going into this CWCB project, and <br />how the completed public works would improve the safety for the general public as well as <br />providing a special urban river amenity. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />WRIGHT WATER ENGINEERS <br /> <br /> <br />.~ <br />W. ight, P.E. <br /> <br />By A. <br />Kenneth <br />President <br /> <br />KRW:sah <br />Enclosure <br />
