<br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL HEETING <br />At the conclusion of the meeting, a short meeting was held among representatives <br />of the city of Englewood, the USBR, and WWE. The purpose of the meeting was to <br />devise a system of measurements to be undertaken by city of Englewood personnel <br />to record operation of the intake with regards to sediment during various flow rates <br />and gate settings during Spring runoff this year. <br /> <br />Cliff Pugh of the USBR distributed a draft copy of a graph (copy attached) which <br />relates radial gate setting to flow rate and three zones related to boating on the <br />river. Current operation of the radial gate by the city of Englewood is to have the <br />gate wide open when flow rates in the river exceed 300 cfs to 500 cfs. <br /> <br />The group discussed the current operation of the radial gate and what could to done <br />this Spring to measure the effect of lower gate settings on sediment movement in <br />the intake channel and operation of the intake in regard to flushing of sediment. <br /> <br /> <br />This discussion was translated into a list of items for gate settings and measure- <br />ments which were written down by Bill McCormick of the city of Englewood. During <br />the forthcoming Spring runoff on the South Platte River, city personnel will make <br />and record these measurements for use in designing the proposed improvements. <br /> <br />During the discussion, it was stated that Bill Taggart feels that a large amount of <br />sediment is coming over the submerged intake wall at higher flows. Bill McCormick <br />does not feel that this is the case. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned about noon. <br /> <br />Approved by <br /> <br />City or Agency <br />
