<br />
<br />70. 'l'he recommended plan would ~rovide for levees on both Bides of
<br />
<br />Fortification Creek, chanTl.81 reotification of the creek channel, and
<br />
<br />replacement of a rallroad bridge and a stock brid.81 over the creek. All
<br />
<br />improvements are in the section of channel between etream mile 2.6 and
<br />
<br />Yampa River. The present (1948') oost of the improvement under t.he
<br />
<br />recommended plan is estimated at $310.000. comprising $225.000 for
<br />
<br />
<br />construction of flood-control works and rRilroad bridge, $15,000 for
<br />
<br />construction of Atock bridge 6.nd relocation of utilities. and $70,000 for
<br />
<br />"
<br />
<br />acquisition of rights-of_way and easements. Average annual charges for
<br />
<br />
<br />malntenanIJ8 and operation (including recurrent channel clearing by local
<br />
<br />
<br />interests) are estimated at $4,000.
<br />
<br />"
<br />
<br />71. The improvement recoDUll.ended would prevent most flood dama&:e to
<br />
<br />...'
<br />
<br />homes, business and industrial e8tablishm~nts, public buildings and
<br />
<br />improvements, hlgh~B, streets, railroad, and utilities at and Dear
<br />
<br />
<br />Oraig, Colo. The total average annual chargee would be $16,300. the
<br />
<br />A.verage annual tangible benefih from prevention of flood damage wuld
<br />
<br />be $34.000 and the resultant economic ratio would be 2.09 to 1. Intangible
<br />
<br />
<br />benefits from eliminati~ danger to life and health from overflow in and
<br />
<br />
<br />nea< the town of Craig would add considereble weight to the Justifioation
<br />
<br />
<br />of impl'ovement. The improvement under the recommended plan would be in
<br />
<br />
<br />accord with the desire of local interests for flood control.
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />Co!) A flood menace exists along Fortification Creek at and near
<br />
<br />
<br />Craig, Colo., iTom overflow of Fortification Creek.
<br />
<br />
<br />(B) Adequate protection for life eild property in this area oould
<br />
<br />best be provided by levees and channel rectification along }i'ortificatloD.
<br />Creek downstream from stream mile 2.6.
