<br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Detention Pond at the upper limits of this study at <br />Powers Street and Huron Street. A more thorough descrip- <br />tion is given in the reach by reach outline tabulated <br />below: <br /> <br />1. South Platte River to Prince Street - At present, a <br />10' x 10' box cu~vert, a 66" RCP and a 48" RCP con- <br />vey the Slaughterhouse Gulch l?w flows from a point <br />east of Prince Street to the river. This area has <br />been developed by various commercial uses including <br />a restaurant, liquor store, small car sales, and the <br />old county maintenance shops. <br /> <br />2. Prince Street to Windermere Street - This 3,000 foot <br />reach consists of an encroached upon channel below the <br />railroad tracks and a somewhat natural channel upstream <br />of the tracks. Between Prince and Rio Grande, a 60-inch <br />Denver Water Board concrete conduit parallels the gulch, <br />passing under Rio Grande Street and the D&RGW and AT&SF <br />railroad tracks beneath the structures provided for <br />drainage. East of the tracks, the conduit proceeds <br />,northeast away from the Gulch. Upstream of the tracks, <br />the City Ditch overhead flume crosses the Gulch, a <br />development adjoins the stream on the north and a school <br />bus facility adjoins the flood plain on the south. <br /> <br />3. Windermere Street to Datura Street - Here, flood plain <br />conditions change quite drastically. This two block <br />area has seen development which has totally severed the <br />channel and the drainage area above it from the area <br />below. A 42-inchstorm sewer exists through this reach, <br />designed to convey the low frequency flows. As the <br />channel has been obliterated by development, the poten- <br />tial flood damages are high in this reach. <br /> <br />4. Datura Street to Powers Park - Through this reach, the <br />gulch follows Berry Circle. Houses adjoin this street <br />on both sides, some located well above the street while <br />others sit level or below the street grade. A 36-inch <br />storm sewer was recently constructed in the street to <br />provide a continuous sewer from Powers Park to Windermere. <br /> <br />5. South Tributary - The south tributary, to Slaughterhouse <br />Gulch, with the confluence just downstream of Windermere <br />Street is sewered by a 42-inch pipe. The sewer daylights <br />immediately west of the apartment buildings at the corner <br />of Powers Avenue and Windermere Street. From this point <br />a 36-inch pipe extends along Windermere Street to a junc- <br />tion at the intersection of Littleton Boulevard and <br />Windermere Street. An 18-inch sewer extends from the junction <br />across the Woodlawn Park Shopping Center to Datura Street. <br />The development along this tributary is typically commer- <br />cial in the upper reaches with office and high and low <br />density residential uses along Windermere Street. The <br />flood damage potential is high in the lower reach. <br /> <br />II-2 <br />
