(AI). This pit is located <br /> in the City of Greeley, north of F St. and west of N 35`"Avenue, in the floodplain of the Cache la <br /> Poudre River. A City of Greeley(City) agricultural field is located immediately west and <br /> upstream of the AI pit and the Boyd Irrigation Company's (BIC) Boyd-Freeman Ditch is located <br /> adjacent to the western boundary of the AI pit. <br /> Enclosed with this transmittal letter please find three copies of a Wright Water Engineer's <br /> assessment of flood damage to the City's agricultural field and the BIC's ditch and analysis of <br /> the causes of that damage for your review and reference. <br /> As discussed, the Al pit does not comply with DRMS erosion protection and reclamation <br /> requirements and has caused damage to City and BIC infrastructure. As a result, the City and <br /> BIC are requesting DRMS require Al to comply with DRMS requirements by: <br /> • Stabilizing an unstable, eroded gravel-pit embankment <br /> • Repairing attendant erosion on City property <br /> • Stabilizing the BIC ditch located adjacent to the pit <br /> • Reimbursing BIC for erosion-repair costs incurred to date <br /> The City and BIC appreciate the DRMS' assistance addressing these issues, and we request a <br /> follow-up meeting to answer any questions that you have and discuss the conclusions of this <br /> report. Please call or email if you would like to discuss this further. <br /> BeYeg , <br /> eckentine <br /> Deputy Director Water Resources <br /> Water and Sewer Department • 1100 loth Street,Suite 300,Greeley,CO 80631 .
