Byrne, Director <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Byrne: <br /> <br />This letter pertains to the potential flooding situation in <br />Lake City, Colorado. You are aware of the correspondence and dialogue <br />that has taken place between the Colorado Water Conservation Board, the <br />Army Corps of Engineers and DODES regarding the potential flooding prob- <br />lems, especially on Henson Creek. It appears that the potential for <br />flooding is increasing as the latest USDA-SCS snow reports indicate a <br />snowpack of 190%. <br /> <br /> <br />The dike and levee system along Henson Creek has some low un- <br />protected spots which were identified in the flood study. The Town now <br />has an engineered levee system estimated to cost $20,000 for the north <br />side of Henson Creek. There should probably be a similar levee on the <br />south side of Henson Creek as the report identified low areas there also. <br /> <br />Material and equipment may be available through the County, <br />but I suspect financial assistance ,~ill be required. Our financial con- <br />straints make it difficult to address this problem in its entirety. <br />We are prepared to participate in this project, but we do formally re- <br />quest assistance from DODES in either technical or financial form. <br /> <br />Enclosed is a copy of the Engineering Report. We look forward <br />to the meeting with you May 8th_ <br /> <br />/7~lY, _.. 111(/ <br />(jt~%~I-(.J!I/ <br />--;-oC~ E.
