Larson <br />January 14, 1992 <br />Susan Nall <br />U. S. Army Corps of <br />Regulatory Unit 4 <br />402 Raod Ave., Room <br />Grand Junction, CU <br />Dear Ms. Nall <br />Engineers <br />142 <br />81501-2563 <br />In response to your request for historical information <br />about the berms in the Uncompahgre River near the proposed ZMb:: <br />Gravel Operation in Duray County, the following was learned: <br />In the mid-1950's berms were constructed along the <br />west bank of the river by ^uray County to protect the <br />Dalpaz Ranch, Boyd Ranch R< Colo.State Hwy.23 from <br />damage due to flooding. <br />Through the 1960's, 1970's and early 1980's, the <br />berms and the channel of the river were dazed by <br />Duray County and local property owners to protect the <br />Idlewild Subdivision, KDA Campground, Sunshine Valley <br />Ranch/Campground, and other property owners from <br />flooding and high water. <br />Since the early to mid-1980's, there has been no <br />channeling ^f the river or additional berms <br />constructed, only the patching of existing berms by <br />pushing material into "breaks" as indicated on the <br />photograph included in the 404 Permit application. <br />The large racks west of the Webb residence and the <br />berms between the Webb property and the active <br />channel were in place in 1969, when Webb purchased <br />the property from bayd. <br />both >,n 1989 and 1990, private property owners <br />paLcl-ied breaks in ttae berms to avoid possible <br />flooding of their properties. <br />The above information was acquired from Duray County <br />personnel, Duray County Commissioners and local property <br />owners. If there are further questions that need to be <br />addressed, please contact me. <br />Sy~r~ er a 1,,+~ , <br />Robert A. Larson <br />
