USDA United States Natural Resources 655 Parfe[ Street <br />Department of Conservation Room E_OOC <br />?,griculture Service (NRCS) Lakewood. CO 80215-5517 <br />Phone (303) 236.2886 http://www.co.nres.usda.gov Fax (303) 336-2396 <br />Subject: PDM -Emergency Watershed <br />Protection Coal View Landslide EWP <br />Project Non Exigency Routt County, <br />Colorado <br />To: Warren M. Lee, Director <br />Watershed & Wetlands Division <br />Date: June 16, 1998 <br />File Code: 390-14 <br />The Colorado Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), is requesting 5105,000 <br />in Federal Assistance to fund the Coal View Landslide EWP Project. Routt County, <br />Colorado. <br />In the early morning of April 14n', a 17 acre landslide covered a private road and moved <br />toward the Yampa River. The area had received 12 inches of precipitation last fall <br />when normal is 5.2 inches. The extremely wet fall left the soil profile saturated going <br />into the winter. To make this situation worse, the area was covered with snow before <br />the ground had a chance to freeze. This spring when the snow melted, 17 acres of the <br />north slope slid approximately 300 feet, covering a road and creeping slightly into the <br />Yampa River. <br />The emergency situation is located 16 miles west of Steamboat Springs, CO on U.S. <br />Highway 40. The potential exists for the landslide to damage a gas compressor station, <br />a gas well, two buildings of a snowmobile tour business, and a private bridge over the <br />Yampa River. Also, down stream approximately 1.5 miles are three irrigation canal <br />diversions and the diversion take out for the Hayden electric power plant that could <br />receive sediment from slide materials that go into the Yampa River. If the landslide <br />moves much more, the Yampa River could be blocked off and water could begin to <br />backup and cause a severe hazard. <br />The Natural Resources Catum~sion Scn~icc works land-in-hand wish AN EQUAL OPPORTi;NITY E}1PLOYER <br />the .~merinn people to ronscn~< avuni txsomca un pnvate lands. <br />
