<br />At present there is a 75 foot spillway constructed below .the Lone Tree <br /> <br />Creek to take care of exces,sive flows at that crosf'ing. Near the <br /> <br />Little Owl Creek orossing the Iara;mie-Po\'\dre Cane.l has been more or <br /> <br />less wholly destroyed for a length of approximately' 1/2 mile. The <br /> <br />lands 011 'Whioh the waters discharge are mostly waste. <br /> <br />Pi. CONCLUSIONS <br />.... <br /> <br />From the information av/l.ilable, it is apparent that before a <br /> <br />definite plan of flood preventioIl can be intelligently formulated, a <br /> <br />detailed investigation of the entire area is necess.ary. S'loh an <br /> <br />investi~ation would probably' indicate (1) that so:ll conservation, <br /> <br /> <br />water runoff retardation and. l"l9l~ted facilities corultruoted in the <br /> <br />drainage area of Spring Cl"lgek ab(Jve the laramie-Pl)uclre Canal would <br /> <br />materially reduoe the flood flow:! from that areal (2) th/l.t the flood <br /> <br />flows whioh remained after suoh 'f;l"l9atment over thE' (latohment area <br /> <br />could be handled by the rehabilitation of portions (,f the Laramie- <br /> <br />Poudre canal, including adequate spillways for ditoh protection at <br />various places; a;nd (3) that the water :released from the r..are.mie- <br /> <br />Poudre canal in the drainage basi.n of the Lone Tree Cl"lgek might <br /> <br />thereafter be carried off pr(lviding propeJ~ orossings are <,onstructed <br /> <br />at the various ditches and providing surfElce drainage ch!UJ!lels are <br /> <br />oonstructed at a fS'W points s.long the course of Lone Tl"lge Creek. <br /> <br />A detai led investigs.tionto deterllline the cos1; .w.d feasibility <br />of a plan suoh as above outline d might be undertalo3n by tile War Depart- <br /> <br />ment, through its U.
