3. 'Tlte Uistrict h:u not completed a riverbank stabilization project along the <br />northern reach as the "Major Urainagcw;ry Planning South Platte River in <br />Adams County. Colorado", April 2002. suggests. The existing rubble attd trash <br />stabilization was erroneously identified as a District project. The existing <br />stabilisation dues allow, in our opinion, the applicant to mine to within 30U feet <br />ol'tl+e riverbank, but not the 200-foot setback that a properly designed, buried <br />ruck riprap b:ntk stabilization would allow for. Thcretime, we request the note <br />"~11\I\(i 1.111"f 11`I'fflC)L"1' FI:RTIIGR APPROVAL. Of l1D~CD :1\U <br />DMG" be shown at a ?(tU•loot setback from the riverbank un the \lining Plan <br />instead of the note" I Ou' minimum top of hank setback per l: UFCD." ~linui~; <br />Note 2 should be ro~ ised accordingly. <br />-0. The applicant states on sheet 7 of % that they will install cottomvood plantings to <br />enhance the river corridor. Since the planting area shown is r: ithin a Uistrict <br />(loavagc and maintenance access easement, we need to know the number of trees <br />and need to approve the final locations before the plantings occur. Due to strong <br />beaver activity ohsencd in this area, we recommend these trees he protected <br />with wire cages as shown in the District's C'rhan 5rc~rat Drainage C'rirrnu <br />Afrrunul. The applicant should provide on-going tree maintcnancc, including <br />watcrntg, as needed. Any trees tinutd dead within the first year or two should be <br />the responsibility of the applicant to replace. <br />5. The existing flowage and maintcnancc access utsentcnt along the river grants <br />the Uistrict access to the river area through the adjacent property 1'or purposes of <br />river maintenance. 1\'hcn we need access to the river for maintenance purposes <br />we will work with the applicant, as in the past, to access the river area along a <br />route from "Tucson Strcct, detemtincd by the applicant to be Icast disn+ptive to <br />their mining operation. <br />I f you have :utv questions concemmg these comments, please feel free to contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bry:ut ~V.
