<br />Institution.' eon.ld....lIon. . <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />feasibility on the other hand, is concerned with whether or not funds can be obtained for <br />project construction and if the project would generate sufficient revenue over the <br />repayment period to repay construction, mainten:ance and operation, and financing <br />costs. The two analyses are not equivalent, but both are heavily influenced by the <br />interest rate used in making them and by inflation both in the real world and as <br />perceived in the future. Many sources of information relative to these issues are <br />available, and the subject is not treated further herein. <br /> <br />5.6 Institutional Considerations - <br /> <br />Construction, operation, and maintenance of engineering works result in numerous and <br />varied economic, social, and environmental effects, some beneficial and some adverse. <br />It is important that all impacts be identified and evaluated for each alternative sbldied so <br />that the best alternative is identified in a rational and judicious way. <br /> <br />5.6,1 Legal Issues . <br /> <br />Little is done in our society without consideration to risk, liability, and other legal <br />issues. When planning for the construction and operation of erosion control works, <br />safety must be a prime interesl. Safety and legal requirements are usually defined by <br />local government agencies. Although safety is the responsibility of the user to a <br />reasonable extent, care should be taken to insure adequate fencing in areas of potential <br />danger. Other legal issues such as permit requirements are discussed elsewhere in this <br />manual. If questions persist, an attorney can provide assistance. <br /> <br />5,6.2 Permlts- <br /> <br />Acquiring a permit prior to the design and development of a project can eliminate <br />wasted time and effort if permission is not granted. Various Federal Water Acts have <br />granted the Army Corps of Engineers the authority to regulate construction activities on <br />waterways. Thus, permission is needed in order 10 construct any type of facility on <br />waters in the United States. More detailed information is available in Appendix E of this <br />manual. <br /> <br />In addition, local authorities may have some jurisdiction on rivers and streams. To <br />insure proper legal permits, contact the local urban drainage district or the Colorado <br />Water Conservation Board for further help and information. <br /> <br />5.6.3 Sources of Assistance . <br /> <br />Technical and/or economic assistance may be available at the local, state, and federal <br />level. Due to the dynamics of such programs, a list is not included. Local water <br />authorities can provide additional information. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Colorado Erosion Control Manual <br /> <br />65 <br />
