Olson, Dlrecror , <br />6060 Broadway , <br />Denver, Cdoredo 60210 <br />Telephone: (303) 297.1192; <br />March 10, 1995 <br />Allen Sorenson <br />Division of Mitterrls and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />WILDLIFE-CENTRAL <br />RE: Additional Comments -Dahlia North Pit -File # M-94-093 <br />Dear Allen: <br />002/003 <br />~II IIIIIII~~III~~II <br />sss <br />Fm Wildlife - <br />For People <br />I have reviewed 'the documents you sent over regarding the discrepancies between what was <br />agreed upon at our meeting at Urban Drainage & Flood Control and what is currently being <br />proposed. My analysis of the proposed work at the bend in the river is a little different from <br />yours. Based on what is shown on their plan map(attached), it appears that the slurry wall is <br />located approximately the agreed-upon 250' from the river bank in the immediate area of the <br />river bend. As it extends eastward, it gets a bit closer to the river and is approximately 225' <br />from the river ba~itk in the eastern portion of the "wildlife azea". The riprap trench on the east <br />side of the wildlife area is shown inside the slurry wall and is located approximately 200' from <br />the river's edge. The grade control structure is of course located entirely within the 250' <br />recommended buffer. <br />Your letter to me indicates that you felt these structures were located within 100 feet of the <br />river, so I'm not sure if one of us is looking a[ the incorrect plan or perhaps measuring <br />incorrectly. Give me a call (291-7231) and we'll discuss the discrepancy. In my opinion it is <br />reasonable for us to request that the slurry wall and rip-rap trench be moved back to the 250' <br />line, which is not really that much of a change by my calculations. I think that the grade control <br />structure is something we can live with so long as the number of trees to be removed when it <br />is irrstallr:d is not excessive. <br />With regard to the tree/shrub planting numbers, our emphasis has always been for plantings <br />along the river, a+ith plantings between the lakes being of less importance. I believe that Larry <br />Garcia's request to double the proposed tree/shrub plantings was intended to apply to the area <br />along the river Inure than the other areas. Thus, we would be satisfied with a commitment to <br />plant 800 shrubs and 400 trees in the riverside zone, which is twice the original proposal. <br />Let me lmow if you have questions! <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, James S.
