• AQUATIC AND WET III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII SULTANT~ LAURANNE P. RINK, PRESIDENT MELANY C. FISK JOHN T WINDELL, VICE PRESIDENT CHRISTOPHER F. KNUD-HANSEN 28 August 1990 Mr. Paul Banks Western Technologies Inc. 13949 W. Colfax Avenue, No. 140 Golden, Colorado 80401 Dear Paul: Enclosed please find two blueline prints of the Dowe Flats wetland maps. I compiled all the wetland information we have for the property onto one map. Note that the wetland inventory completed in 1987 and verified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is shaded in green. The wetlands inventoried in the proposed transportation corridor, the Garner Dairy, and the Dickens-Peiker property are shaded on the wetland map in orange. These additional properties were inventoried this summer and the wetland delineation is considered preliminary until the Corps verifies our findings. Wetland acreages were calculated and are reported as follows: Wetlands verified 1987 (green shade): 45.1 acres Wetlands in transportation corridor (orange shade): 7.9 acres Wetlands in Garner Dairy property (orange shade): 4.0 acres Wetlands in Dickens-Peicker property: none • Wetlands within the Garner Dairy, and the transportation corridor north of Highway 66 appear to result from irrigation tailwaters and canal seepage. I recommend that you have your legal counsel investigate the possibility of installing subsurface drainage structures to adequatel}• eliminate standing water. You may be able to drain legally since the property has historically and is currently in agricultural use. Call me if you have questions or a need to discuss specifics. You s truly, I< Lauranne P.
