The river signs are important from a <br />safety aspect, advising boaters of upcoming white water , boat chutes, <br />portages, etc. <br /> <br />Boat Obstacles <br />Drop structures and check dams should be improved or notched, with portages <br />before each chute, to permit scouting to occur prior to running the chute. <br /> <br />Regional Recreational Plans <br />South Platte River parks and recreation development plans, gravel mine <br />operations and permits, and river corridor development should be fully <br />coordinated with regional recreational plans of the various governmental <br />entities, or groups of entities. <br /> <br />Flood Hydrology <br />All planning and design for the South Platte River shall be compatible and <br />in accordance with the design floods given. <br /> <br /> <br />Low Flow Hydrology <br />Average monthly low flows in the South Platte River, based on a drought <br />year analysis must be considered for near term planning and design <br />purposes. <br />
