Army Corps of Engineers <br />Sacramento District <br />650 Capitol Mall <br />Sacramento, CA 95814-4794 <br /> <br />Dear Jerry: <br /> <br />This Board has worked with the Town of Lake City, Colorado <br />on a number of flooding problems and studies. The town is <br />subject to flooding from two streams, North Fork of the <br />Gunnsion River and Henson Creek, I feel that Henson Creek <br />poses an immediate flooding threat. In addition, the town has <br />experienced flooding from the creek in the past. <br /> <br />The USDA-SCS' February, 1987 snow report indicates an <br />above-average snowpack for the subject basins. The existing <br />levee system does not provide much flood protection to the <br />town, Under the Corps new PL 84-99 provisions, the town may be <br />eligible for levee repair and emergency assistance funds. From <br />our engineering investigations, a feasible project does exist <br />which will provide the community with direct benefits to life <br />and property. A copy of the town's letter request is <br />enclosed. If you need additional information, I will be happy <br />to respond. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />( <br />_",r' <br />\ uv <br /> <br />1!1'{.f'~ /) ,\_1.
