This lowering of the groundwater table <br />will have a beneficial effect for the urbanizing area. Steps have been <br />taken for the City to claim this water for beneficial use. <br /> <br />Sediment that is produced in the foothi lis and carried down to the plains <br />portion of the basins will settle out in the proposed channels. This sedi- <br />ment must be collected at the canyon mouths in sediment basins and mechan- <br />ically removed. The day-to-day flow of the creeks wi 11 produce relatively <br />little sediment. Most of the sediment will come down out of the foothills <br />during rainstorms. Sediment producing storms are expected to occur several <br />times a year. The major sediment ponds will be on Bear Creek. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />The sediment collected in the basins can be used for construction purposes <br />in order to help pay for sediment removal operations, and to attempt to con- <br />vert this "resource out of place" to a resource of beneficial use to the com- <br />munity. It is for this same reaSOn that the City has claimed the project <br />developed water, which is in accordance with the DRCOG Manual. <br /> <br />From a hydrological standpoint, it is advantageous to couple waterways with <br />greenbelts and open space. The uses are not only compatible in the Boulder <br />area, but create mutual benefits. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />t <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />
