<br /> <br />B. What alternatives to this project (if any) have been consic:ered:? <br />The reason for rejecting these alternatives? <br />None. The county government and state highway department require t:he <br />acceleration/deceleration lane be built as a safety measure for• a r~ew <br />access onto U. S. 6. <br />{Vhat would be the consequences of not building this project? l~rafi'ic flow <br />along the stretch of highway would be hazardous. Please note i:hat Clear <br />Creek County government made the acceleration/deceleration lanes mandatory. <br />9. Anticipated life span of the project (e.g., an irrigation project <br />may last 25 years)? <br />Until the Colorado Highway Department closes the road. <br />10. What steps will be taken to reduce any adverse effects of this project <br />(e.g. reseeding, not utilizing heavy equipment in the water, etc.)? <br />These steps should be described in detail. <br />Proper construction methods will be used to return the affected river banks <br />as close to their existing condition as possible. Our measurements indicate <br />the amount of fill placed in the river will not affect the river flow <br />appreciably. We do not expect £o have heavy equipment in the creek bed <br />proper. The banks of the fill area will be broken rock and not suitable <br />for revegetation. In time, some natural invasion is expected to occur. <br />A bert R.
