Bc. Benefits The Bear Trak Fire of '98 created a public awareness long overdue for Clear Creek County. It was feared to become a 'Buffalo Creek' firelflood incident. The potential risk was enormous. Implementing the above four projects would reduce panic, induce an overall feeling of better protection and produce a more effective mechanism of control over building practices in the county. Previously implemented could have saved $1.4 million. Bd. Costs Total Project Estimate 1. Master Planning (for fire protection only) 2. Access/Escape Road (county funded) long-term rd. (county funded) 3. Fire watchtowers 4. Fire protection brochures 5. Tower construction $41,000 $4,000 $20,000 ? $15,000 $1,000 $1,000 . Be. Partners 1. Colorado State Forest Service (tower lumber) 2. U.S. Forest Service (tower lumber) 3. Clear Creek County Site Development 4. Clear Creek Fire Authority (tower construction) 5. SAFECO (fire protection brochures) 6. Project Impact (fire protection planning) $7,500 $7,500 $20,000 $1,000 $1,000 $4,000 Bf. Project Completion Date All four components to be completed by December 2000 (with the exception of the long term accesslescape road). c. Geological Hazard Protection C1. Topographical Mapping The proposed mapping in this section is inter-related with many overall mapping needs of the county. It will relate to the planning department's development of "Master Plan '99". It will be needed in identifying possible water contamination sources and prospective development sites. The maps will also be used to better identify geological hazards facing the county and provide for hazard overlay in GIS. The Mineral Impact Grant awarded the county mapping department $70,000 for aerial mapping. It will be conducted of the 1-70 corridor from the eastern county line to Bakerville, extending 4 miles north and south of 1-70. The total project cost is $107,000. 20
