<br /> <br />7 <br /> <br />tional height of riprap in their lake adjacent to the river? Ron Rossmiller of WWE <br />replied that model tests have shown that the existing USACE dam crest remains the <br />hydraul1c control for all flows in the river. so depths upstream of the crest will <br />.remain the same as they are now after completion of the proposed construction. <br /> <br />Englewood personnel were asked if they preferred the barrier or the solid wall for <br />the intake channel. Mike Woika replied that this is a CWCB project, he is not an hy- <br />draulics expert and wants the experts to tell him which is better. The City is satis- <br />fied with the present operation of the intake. He does not want to be in the position <br />of a .partner" in the decision; so if something goes wrong afterwards, he will have <br />someone to blame. The experts need to model the solid wall to obtain data. <br /> <br />Ben Urbonas of the UD&FCD stated that we should not rely on gate settings or human <br />controlled items for boater safety, we should have physical barriers. <br /> <br />It was recommended thet prototype tests be done of gate setting versus sand move- <br />ment in the intake channel during the Spring runoff period in the river. None has <br />ever been done - the gate is just opened wide when sediment is a problem. A pro- <br />gram needs to be set up between Englewood and the USBR to do this. They and WWE <br />will meet after the meeting to set up such a program. Ken Wright of WWE recom- <br />mended that a permanent manual of gate openings and sediment accumulation and <br />transport be set up. <br /> <br />Gary Lacy and Jim Curnes of Sheridan discussed the possibility of having a shorter <br />safety screen with a flat angle across the sluiceway ( upstream intake channel). <br />Ben Urbonas suggested fine tuning with the gate setting or flushing at night. <br /> <br />John Ebling of the USGS commented on their plans to install a low flow gaging station <br />about 200 feet upstream of Union Avenue and about 100 feet downstream of the Dry <br />Creek confluence in the next 2 or 3 weeks. They need a line of rock for a weir to <br />create a pond for accurate geging of low flows in the zero to 30 cfs range. A stable <br />streambed Is needed for gaging. The rocks w111 be angled across the entire river. <br />
