December 23, 197 4 Mr. Larry Schmueser, Planning Director Garfield CountY 20T4 Blake St. Glenwood SpringS, Colorado 81601 Dear LarrY: The purpose of this letter is to clarify my position-regarding Riveibend. I consummated the purchase a year d9o, after having the property under option for a year. The current mortgage is $ZeflSO-0 payable over 9 years at 7 L/2% interest. The latest release was made on December 5, 1974 and is recorded on page 177 of book 467. The property is owned in my name as well as myself as trustee for two children. Only the property not to be sold is held by myself as trustee. I hope this will clarify my financial and lega1 position on the property. I know the question has al-so been raised .= to why the p.oie.t ii relatively dormant at this point. I made a decision 6 months aqo to slow things down pending clarification of several key itenns that f considered to be essential for an ord.erly development. The principle factors involved the un- settle& conditions of the monev markets and the building industry, and the school situation in New Castle. Although I'm startingr to see some progress in the first two items, the third item remains a source of worry for me. I'm prepared to donate 30 acres to the County for a school at any time. I also believe Silt and New Castle should consider the possibility of leaving Rifle and forming their own district. As things now stand, I would prefer to donate the land to the RE-I Oiitrict and become a part of the Glenwood school system' There is too much consolidation going on in Rifle. I don't see anything wrong with locating a school at Riverbend on free ground, even if the subdivision is a tong time in coming. At iuorst the school districthas one of the finest and most scenic m tDE school sites in the County that could more efficiently servicethe existing population in the area if the districts were re- drawn to include Silt and New Castle and perhaps the housesfrom South Canyon West. The busing involved under this plan would be far less than the current haul to Rifre presuming theschool were located at Riverbend. My main concern is to have a new school in the area r,trhether at Rirrerbend or not-, an<-] if thevoters are unwilling based on the present district then some-one should consider redrawing some 1ines. The current situationdoes not have to be accepted. The surest way to get some pop-uration dispersar throughout the Va1ley is to more equi-tablyspread the school constructions. It becomes a self-fu1filIing prophecy for Rifle to say "let,shave the schools here because this is where most everyone wantsto or is goinq to live. " sure enough, putting all the new schoolsj.n Rifle will giuarantee the population going there because theydon't have a choice faced with school situations like New Castle.Although it might appear to be self-serving to lobby for a newschool, r think rrm on sorid footing to reiterate the need fora new school. rt's obvious that it's important to the successof a subdivision to have an adequate school situation. Riverbendcannot attract families with school age children under the presentcircumstances. If RE-2 is skeptical about Riverbend, then they'reguilty once again of making self-fulfil1ing prophesj-es by throwingup barriers to an orderry development and then congraturating themserves on the 1ike1y outcome which they help create throughdiscriminatory practices in favor of Rif1e. rn short, it doesn't make sense to proceed with Riverbend until the school situation issettlecl. rf it is not settred satisfactorily, r wirl probablyask the county to amend my plan in recognition of the fact thatwe could never sel1 600 hornesites in an area rvithout an adequateschool. I felt when we started that New Castle was next in linefor a new school. Perhaps my judgement was poor or r receivedsome inaccurate information. I am sti1l hopeful that the County's share of the oil shale leasingrevenues will help alleviate the school situation. rt is my hopethat enough public improvements will be placed in the New Castlearea to attract some population to that part of the Va11ey. Trm prepared to wait to see what happens rather than prematurely proceed with a fu11 scale development progranl. I can assume you Lfrat I'm in it for the long haul and will wait until clarification occurs before proceeding. I did want the planning committee to be aware of my thoughts, however, and I did want to assure them that I fully intend to proceed with some form of development. Hopefully, future s61-11f-ions uri-l1 allor^r me to proceed with. the same plau I'Ve submitted. I'm Sure your committee would agree that it's imprudent to proceed urrtil some of these questions are answered. I would also like to point out that I have been and will continue to seek out a joint venture partner for Riverbend. Faced with the realities of today, the potential rewards are no longer worth the risk of going it a1one, and a partner can be a good insurance policy in teims of limiting one's potential losses. With today's profrinitive climate, it is simply not an attractive enough situation to consider taking all of the risk on your own. Furthermore, a partner with building expertise would be an attractive proposition for me, since I'm moving away from the concept of lot sales. I would welcome your refeiring to me any reputable and solid individ- uals or comparrie" who may be interested in the area and can contribute to the success of Riverbend. I would also like to point out that I'm willing to donate both land and water to a firm wlshing to locate in our area that would provide a stable employment base. Tf a company is interested in locating in the County and the County wishes to have them, Ir11 make a contribution towards securing their agreement to come in. I know there are many concerns that would be a good corpc,rate citizen atid a valuable asset for the County to have.

I am currently having discussions regarding a revised and more thorough subdividerts agtreement with Jerry Hartert who, f understand, has the approval to represent the Commissioners concerning the amount and substance of the guarantee. Mr. Hartert has reservations concerning the bond issue, so I am attempting to explore all avenues available for financing improvement d,istricts. I am going right ahead with the formation of the water and sanitation district and I'm sure the Commissioners will be receiving notice of said formation. A final service plan will be filed shortly- Riverbend was recently awarded a domestic decree from the water referee, so our water augrmentation plan is complete. New tests for water quality are being run at the request of Lamont Kinkade. Also at his request \^re have fited with the state for approval on our sewage tl:eatment site. Such approval will require several more vreeks- I've had discussions with several financial institutions regarding develop- ment loans. I do have offers for adequate sums. However, today's interest rates seem somewhat incompatible with our goal to offer moderately priced homes and homesites. The good news is that the rate increases seem to have leveled off and may start down again shortly. Please be assured that we are moving our final plat as originally planned. a project at Riverbend is an ahead with the ful1 intention of filing I remain committed to the idea that ideal location to take advantage of as Itve executed an agreement satisfactory your approval. aphic trends.

Riverbend has been planned to provide its residents with a well designed community, ample open space, a variety of recreational and learning opportunities, aII within an environment that will be pleasant and pro- tected from harmful change. Of equal importance is the fact that Riverbend is a community for families of varied incomes. Much of the housing will be reasonably priced, so that many who have not had the opportunity to acquire their own home can now afford to do so. However, good design in housing need not be expensive. The use of proper roof lines, sidings, finishes and colors, together with proper positioning of the dwelling on the lot can all combine to provide attractive housing at reasonable cost. Design Committee Regulations: (1) The Design Committee shall be composed of three members, aII of whom shalt initially be appointed by the developer. when the number of members of the Riverbend Property Osners Association in residence at Riverbend shall reach 200, the Association shall elect one member to the Design Conmittee. When the number of members of the Association in residence reaches 400, they shall elect two members of the Committee; and when the number of members in residence reaches 600, they shall elect all three members of . the Committee. (2) The term for Committee members shall be one year. (3) The Design Committee shall have fuII and final authority in approving and disapproving all plans. (4) No construction may be initiatea without Design Committee approval. (5) If construction is not started within,one year from date of approval, an extension must be requested in writing. The Design Committee may authorize a one year extension or, atits option, require plans to be resubmitted for approval. (6) Once started, construction must be completed within one year. Guidelines: The Design Committee encourages everyone who plans to build at Riverbendto consider the following guiderines in pranning ar1 construction. (1) Site. Proper use of the proposed building site can have agreat impact on the appearance of the finished residence. Consider each of the following elements: (a) Existing grades and necessary changes. Try for the fewest possible changes to natural grades and slopes. (b) Access for people and vehicles. (c) Location of building to take maximum advantage of views. (d) Drainage away from the house. (e) Sun and wind directions. (21 Building. (a) Select a dist,inctive design. Try to avoid an exterior elevation that closely resembles others in the immediate area. (b) Certain designs are more suitable to Riverbend,s setting than others. Western ranch and mine-inspired styles are more appropriate than southern coloniar or spanish hacienda. (c) colors and textures for exterior surfaces shourd harmonizewith existing natural materials. Earth tones in subdued browns, reds and greens will blend a house into the site. (d) Exterior metal surfaces should be of a non-reflective (matte) finish. (e) Arr fencing for patios and service yards shourd be integratedwith the design of the house itself. Procedure for Design Committee Approval. The following materials are to be submitted to the Desiqn Committee in order to obtain review and approval of proposed. construction.

Schmueser Director of Pl-anning and Zoning Garfiel-d County 20L4 BLake Avenue Gl-enwood Springs, Colorado 8l-601- Dear Mr. Schmueser:RE: RIVERBEND DEVELOPMENT We have reviewed the prel-iminary plat and supporting material- for the proposed Riverbend Devel-opment. This review incl-uded a field inspection on November 27. ALthough nost of the l-and in this proposed developmentoffers suitable buil-ding sites, we feel- that there are some trouble areasthat should be pointed out. The geologic investigati.on by Chen and Associates points out most of these, but we wouLd l-ike to emphasize those which we feel are most important and add a few points of our own. 1) Since there is the evj.dence of past coal mining, and there most cer-tainly are gravel resources within the proposed Riverbend Development, r4re suggest that the developer clarify the status of mineral rights and how this factor mlght affect the proposed surface devel-opment. In additi.on, any ttazardous conditions whi-ch may have been caused by past mining in the area should be defined and eliminated. 2) The proposed pond in the center of the development, which wouLd hoLd the treated sewage r^Iater, will lose considerabl-e water through percolati-on into the gravels below unless the pond is lined. This loss coul-d decrease the amount of water avail-able for irrigation and, if the water were not treated complete1y, coul-d contaminate the ground r4rater reservoir. 3) The eastern part of the deveJ-opment has three problems which may besignifi-cant. The first problem is whether or not any portion of that l-and is within the fl-ood plain of the Colorado River. The second problem is the extent of locaL flooding from the creek coming from the south.Thlrd is the problen of eroslon from this smaI1 creek, which is very evi.dent at its confluence wi.th the Col-orado River. 4) The last potential- geologic problem ls that of rockfall aLong the southern edge of the development below the Grand Hogback. As one looksat this area, it becomes evident that rockfall is a geologic process which has occurred in the past. Looking up the steep slopes of the Hogback, GEOLOGY STORY OF THE PAST.., KEY To THE FUTURE Mr. Larry R. Schmueser Page 2 Decernber 4, L973 reslstant beds of sandstone can be seen standing out beyond the eroded slope in a position which woul-d make boul-ders avail-able for rapid downslope movement. At the foot of the sJ-ope in an area which is pLatted for develop- ment, there are large boulders which have come to rest after their journey from the slopes above. The Chen report states that all boul-ders that were seen on this lower slope have been there for a period of time such that they are either partial-l-y buried or have a significant gror^rth of lichen on the surface. The frequency of rockfall in this area is hard to determlne since it is reported that the highway department has excavated in some areas looking for rip-rap. However, we feeL that this is a continuing geoLoglc Process, and that the possibiLity of rockfaLl in the future is certainly likeIy. !tre are not necessarily talking about a catastrophic rockfal-l invoJ-ving thousands of tons of rock, although such an event could occur if there were a strong seismic disturbance i.n the area. The more J-lkeJ-y event would be a singLe bouLderror perhaps a few;loosened in the spri-ng due to frost wedgi-ng. These would galn momentum coming down the slope, and eause great daurage to any structure in their path. The distance the boulder would travel can be determined from the locatlon of boulders which have made this journey in the past. Structures such as public buiJ-dings, homes and the water storage area shoul-d be placed with this rockfal-L possibility in mi.nd. The problems mentloned above affect only a small- part of the total proposed development. With minor changes in the proposed pLat and additlonaL studyof these problems, there is no reason why safe and feasible development could not exist on this property. If we can be of further service, please let us know. Sincerely, i, , ,i David C. SheLton Assistant Engineering Geol-ogist Reviewed & concurred in: otYPL- R. R->r*q Wl11iam P.

DEFINITIONS: (This section will include a glossary of words referred to in the covenants, or in common use in matters relating to the covenants, together with simple definitions of such words. ) DESIGN GUIDELINES AND REGULATIONS RIVERBEND PROPER TY OWNIiRS ASSOCIATION F.OREWARD Riverbend has been planned to provide its residents with a well designed corrr- rnunity, ample oPen sFace, a variety of recreational and learning opportunities, all within an environrnent that will be pleasant and protected frorn harrnful change. Of equal importance is the fact that Riverbend is a community for families of w.ried incomes. Much of the housing will be reasonably priced, so that rtany who have not had the opportunity to acquire their own home can now afford to do so. However, good design in housing need not be expensive. The use of proper roof lines, sidings, finishes and colors, together with proper positioning of the dwelling on the lot can all combine to provide attractive housing at reasonable cost. DESIGN COMMITTEE REGULA TIONS l. The Design Comrnittee shal1 be cornposed of three rnernbers, all of whorn shal1 initially be appointed by the Developer. When the number of mernbers of the Riverbend Property Owners Association (RPOA) in residence at Riverbend -t- shall reach 200, the RPOA shall elect one rrrerrrber to the Design Committee. 'When the number of members of RPOA in residence reaches 400, they sha1l elect two members of the Cornmittee, and when the number of members in res- idence reaches 600, they shal1 blect all three mernbers of the Cornmittee. 2, The terrn for Committee mernbers shal1 be one year. 3. The Design Committee sha11 have full and final authority in approving or disapproving all p1ans. 4. No construction may be initiated without Design Comrnittee approval.. 5. U construction is not started within one year frorn date of approval, an ex- .tension must be requested in writing. The Design Cornrnittee may authorize a one year extension or, at its option, require plans to be resubrnitted for approval. 6. Once started, construction rnust be completed within one year. GUIDE LINES The Design Comn'rittee encourages everyone who plans to build at Riverbend to consider the following guidelines in planning all construction. -2- Site: Proper use of the proposed building site can have a great irnpact on the appearance of the finished residence. Consider each of the following elements: 1. Existing grades and necessary changes. Try for the fewest possible changes to natural grades and slopes. 2. Access for people and vehicles. 3. Location of building to take maximum advantage of views. 4. Drainage away frorn the house. 5. Sun and wind directions. Building: l. Select a distinctive design. Try to avoid an exterior ele- vation that closely resernbles others in the imrnediate area. Z. Certain designs are trlore suitable to Riverbendrs setting than others. Western ranch and mine inspired styles are more appropriate than southern colonial or spanish hacienda. 3. Colors and textures for exterior surfaces should harmonize -3- with existing natural rnaterials. Earth tones in subdued browns, reds and greens will blend a house into the site. 4. Exterior metal surfaces should be of a non-reflective (matte) finish. 5. A11 fencing for patios and service yards should be integrated with the design of the house itself. PROCEDURE FOR DESIGN COMMITTEE APPROVAL A. The following rnaterials are to be submitted to the Design Comrnittee in order to obtain review and approval of proposed construction: l. Name of applicant and lot description. 2. Site Plan: An accurately dirnensioned sketch of the lot, indicating easements, existing vegetation and Proposed location of the residence and extensions such as garages, fences, patios and service yards. 3. A cornplete set of plans and specifications for the proposed building. 4. Samples of exterior finishes, stains and materials. -4- Ll j B. The Design Comrnittee will review the submitted rnateriaLs at its next regularly scheduled rneeting and notify the applicant of approval or rejection of plans within seven days of the meeting. If plans are rejected, the reasons for rejection and recornrnended changes will be set forth in writing. tr Wesrenru Slope Gns Co. 55O 1sth STREET DENVER, COLORADO 8O2O2 November 28, L973 Mr. Larry R.

Schmueser : On November 26th, Don Brungardt and myself met with IIam Duncan and Dick Thomas and reviewed in detail, the Riverbend Development. rnthat meeting we came to agreement with Ham and Dick that a route coul-d be provided to trfestern for a gas line in the event that Western determinesthat a R.0.I^I. is needed through the deveLopment. rt appears that an easement could be suppLied for our use a1"ong the main road with littLeeffect on the proposed development.

Schmueser, Planning Director 2014 B]-ake Avenue Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 Gentlemen: Following are cofitrnents and reconunendations pertaining to the Riverbend. Developmentsituated in Sections 33, 34 and 35 of T5S, R9W of rhe 6th p.M. and Sections 5 and 6of T6N, R9W of rhe 6th P.M. The following conrnents are forwarded as recortrnendations for your consideration and Pertain primarily to fire protecEion and natural- resource conservation. General Corrnents Because of the nature of a developrnent such as this, there are both advantages anddisadvantages created. From the protection standpoint, the most serious disadvantageis the creation of an urban type development in a rural area. one must not only con-sider the impact on the developrnent area but also impact on adjacent areas. Records indicate that as popul-ation densities increase, the relative rate of watershedfire occurrence also increases. Under sorne circumstances, particularly in ruralareas, fire protection can beco'me a major and very serious problem. Tire primarydifficul-ty in providing satisfactory fire protection is derived from the need forurban quaLity protection in rural areas which is more often than not performed underrelatively adverse conditions. In this particular developrnent, it appears greater than average consideration has beengiven to corEnunity services including fire protection. Ttre fire protection activityappears to be based on firm ground, however, I would like to make the followingsuggestions for your consideration. 1- Incl-ude the fire protection p1-an as a condition of developrnent with appropriatesteps taken to guarantee impLementation. 2. Include a mandatory requirement to develop fire protection facilities relaEive to home construction. I would strongly suggest that if horne construction begins in L974,phase I fire protection facilities be operational by the time 40 homres are completedor by L976, whichever comes first. In most cases, 40 familys is more than sufficient to support an effective volunteerfire department. Page 2 3. Al-l-ow for a modification of presentLy proposed equipment which may be necess*rry to meet individual local- needs. Ttre general design and construction specifications of this subdivision appear to be quite satisfactory relative to fire protection activities except for several items. It is quite cofltrnon to request at least two means of access and escape,from rural subdivisions. It woutd be appropriate if this developrnent had dual access also, however, due to itrs location and general nature one means of access and exit might not be too much of a sacrifice. I wouLd, however, suggest very strong consideration be given to the fo1-1-owing design changes. 1. Sto:-rking Road en6 in a cul--de-sac over 21500 feet in Length. Under emergency conditions this couLd be a very serious hazard. I would strongly suggest this road be continued to connect with itself to create a 1-oop systern. 2. Coal-ridge Road also ends in a cul-de-sac over 3000 feet in length. I wouLd strongly suggest an additional segment of road be constructed to connect it to Rlverbend Road. It is suggested that cul--de-sacs be no longer than 700 feet. SincereLy, ///,,/il LeRoy A.

Schmueser Director of Planning and Zoning Garfield CountY 2014 Blake Avenue Glenwood SPrings, Colorado 81601 Dear Larry: Ham Duncan and I met with Dan Tekavec and Don Brungardt of western slope cas company this morning. we showed them the preliminary ptan for Riverbend and discussed possible easement for the proposed transmission line. Both gentlemen seemed to feel that a satisfactory route could be worked out along the main road, with only two parcels of proposed development affected -- the multi-family area north of the road just eist of the sewer plant site, and, if a school is built on the site we examined with the School Board, along their road frontage. A 50 foot set back, to provide for a possible future easement, appears to be all that is necessary' Dan emphasized that such an easement is only tentative at this time, since no decision has yet been made to build the Iine, and alterna- tive routings have not yet been explored' I,ve enclosed a copy of a letter to Dan confirming the points of our meeting, and he has said he wiII write you also, so that you will have their position on record.

Box 1009 Glenwood SPrings, Colorado 81601 November L4, L973 Larry R. Schmueser Garfield County Planning Commission 2014 Blake Avenue Glenwood Springs, Colorado Dear Larry: Thank you very much for the opportunity to comment on the proposed Riverbend DeveloPment' ttris proposed derrelopment is located adjacent to approx- imately 2500 acres of National Resource Lands ' a large portioi of which is classified' as critical deer winter-r.r,g". The activity associated with the planned 609 fiving r:rrits will undor:btedly have an adverse effect on the deer and other wildlife in the area' It is noted in the covenants that household animals will be allowed in the development with apparently no provisions forconfinement.Thiscouldmeanthatseveralhundred dogs would be running at large and presumably a consider- ablenrrmberharassingdeerandotherwildlifeonad'jacent winter ranges. If ttris is allowed to happen' the wintering animals would be in serious jeopardy' I would strongly urge strict control measures be imposed' Another major concern would be the use of off-road vehicles on adjacertl Nttiorral Besource Lands' rt is conceivable that *.ty iu*iIies in the devetopment would own trail-bikes' jeeps and snowmobiles. The use of the latter on deer winter ra.nge can seriously interfere with wintering animals. Intensirle use of off-road vehicles also has an adverse impact on watershed, aesthetic, and ottrer resource values' tN REPLY NEFER TO 1600 8160r Re: Riverbend DeveloPment It is our experience that people living i:r subdivisions adjacent to blocks of public land tend to thinl< of the pubtic lands as their own backyards and playgrounds. Inevitably problems result from the concentrated use of the pr.rbtic lands and restrictions are imposed by the land m.magement agency to protect the resources. At least some of tLre potential problems, such as those mentioned above, cELn be minimized by the developer through restrictive covenants. The "Abstract of Environmental Analysis and Potential Impact of the Protrnsed Derrelopment" subrnltted by the applicant does not address itself to "off-site" considera- tions. I would strongly urge that a complete Environ- nental Impact Statement be required from the applicant before any action is taken on this proposal- I would also appreciate an optrnrtunity to review the E-I-S- before making further comflents.

Schmueser 2oL4 Blake Ave. Glenwood Springs, Colo. 81501 Novernber 14, L97) Dear Mr. Schmueser Thank you for your letter dated October 29, 1973 regarding your request for input on the proposed Riverbend Subdivision, I have made a wildlife inventory and survey of the area on November 13, L9?3. Generally, the area Could be described as three seperate ecological communities. These communities are the Colorado River and its flood plain; ift" agricultural pastures and hay meadows; and the Pinion- Junip6r-Brush community that is associated with the steeper slopes along the southbrn edges of the subdivision. The colorado River community is presently providing an excellent trout fishery. Both rainbow and brown trout as wel"l- as native species- of fish such as bony-tailed ehub and suckers inhabit this strech of the river. The Division of wildlife has a cooperative agreement with Mr. D, G. Richardson, the previous owner of the property, to stock the river each year with J00 pounds of catchable size rainbow irout. This has Leen done by the Division and in turn Mr. Richardson has allowed public access to the river. the only thing that he has requested the fishermen do is not to drivi: accrSss his fields to get to the stream. The stream itself has been channelized by the construction of T-70' The channelization and the resulting rip-rap on the banks has deminished this area as far as aqualic and terrestrial wild- life. The impaet of this channelization has been the nearly complete remoiral of all emergent and terrestrial vegetati-on. This has eompletely ruined t[e area for waterfowl nesting and even beaier inliabitation. However, the area is still frequented by ducks, beaver and evidence of racoons was visiUle. Muie deer also use the river to drink. I feel the greatest impact from the subdivision on the river bottom will be in the form of increased people impact. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, T.W.

LeRoy Robson, Member Fishing pressure wil definitely increase and this will result in deereased catch per man hours ind also the quality of fishing this p""ii""far piece of water. However, the Division may be able to increase our stocking rate in this streach of stream to compensate for the added fishing pressure. The agricultural pastures and hay meadows within the boundarys 6f tne suOdivisj-on are providing the least amount of wildiife habitat for the area. This is also the area where the the greatest amount of development will occuro Mule Deer nave"been strongly attracteC. to these fields especially in the Spring of the year when the alf-alfa and grasses are Ueginning to"fitst green-uP. Also, a few resident deer, (deer ii.,It sta! in the area the year around, mainly does ald their fawns) will visit these fields in the Summer and Fa}I. During !h"I/{inter the d.eer have caused Mr. Richardson some serious damage proUf"*" to his hay stacks. The Division of Wildlife has irovided Mr. nichaidson a ? foot high permanent stackyard i.ra 4""" panels to protect his hay and eope with.the deer du*"g" pr6Ule*. Mr^. Richardson tbld me that during the early iiSO;" tire damage was the worst but i-n recent years the deer have not been so numerous on his place, He has allowed public hunting to help harvest surplus.animals_. Mr. RichardSOn also slated thit, il It has b6en impossible to grow apple trees because of deer browsing". He also stated that he planted some ornamental cedar trees and the deer browsed them heavily. This could be a serious problem to the future residents of the Riverbend Subdivision. Aceording to the damage laws teZ-j-Z-i C.R.S. Lg63 as amended) tfre Division is no longer ""ip-or.ii6fu for deer damage to landscaping that is planted after Janurary L, Lg?Q. Eecause of the encroachment of people in the area tfte deer damage problem may be lessened but gener- ally deer ,.."--ouiy adaptaSle animals. -Thg greatest_threat to the deer in the agricirlturil community type will probably be from domestic dogs"chasing and killing- debr when they are weakened by the winter snows. The Pinon-Juniper-Shrub community will probably suffer the greate;t irnpaet from the subdivision.- This area is critical deer winter range. This is any area that the deer will be eonfined to durlng heaviest snowfall. The Grand Hogback on the South and the Colorado River and T-?O on the North will provide a set of baryiers to hol-d the deer in this BrB&r tn" Hogback also blocks sunlight on this north exposure and causes snow build-up further Ioncentrating the.deer. Normal}y deer will avoid theie north slope aspects but in this area the deer are sti}l present during the winter. I ran a feeal pellet transect along the sagebrush flat in the area around the sageOiusf, flai and in the area of the proposed Storm-Ki?gr, ^^noIA. By counting the deer fecal. pellet groups in 10 'L/LOO ."r" plois and by multiplying this figure by 10 to get a one acre iample size the result was 669 pellet groups -Per acre. fhi; figure is then divided by L3 (the average,defication rate pei Oay of deer and elk). The resulting figure shows "pproi,i*ateiy 50 deer days per acre. This figure is a general index to show the amount of time deer spend on a certain pieee of property. This figure represents approximately three years of dita because the pellets will usually remain crt the ground. for three years before they decopose. Therefore on the "lru.Ig" winter deer *itt spend L6 deer days per acre on this sageblush area. EIk have also used this area but to a much Iesser amount ( 0.5 elk days per acre). 0n the steeper slopes to the south, the vegetati6n cf,anges from exclusively sagebrush to a mixture of serviceberry, sagebrush and mountain mahogany' Servieeberry and mountain mahogany are more desirabl-e to deer than sagebrtsh but are not alwiys available to them because of ".ro* ae[tn, In this area the dber days per acre was 10' Rnother transect was made in the "common area" along the ridge in the extreme eastern portion of the subdivision, Here the deer days 1"" ""t" *"" ?, -This area is covered with Pinon-Juniper and tftere are a f ew Pond.erosa pine trees on top of the ridge. nviAentally the deer are staying in this area by the amount of fresh tracks and droppings that I observed. The subdivision will encroach on approximately 50 acres of sagebrustr winter range (seg T?p). This is not a significant toss 5f winter range Uuf tfre influence of peolpler.cars and dogs could result fn forcing the deer a i to a * mile above the lower limits of the winter r&rt$€ r The p-J-Shrub community is also the habitat of the Chucker Partridge, Cottontail Rabbit, Coyote, Bobcat and numerous other small birds and mammals. rrre most significant impact wil] probably be towards Mule Deer. Any subdivisj-on or d.evelopment along the Colorado River bottom in the New Castle area wiff have a detrimental affect on big game ungulates. However, I feel that the area for the p"op.E"E-niverfiena Subdivision will have a less detrimental iff-ect than other areas which have an undisturbed winter range on a south facing slope' I also feel that if certain steps are taken in the planiing of this subdivision that the impact on wildlife and the assoeiated recreational values can be preserved. With this thought in mind, I recommend to the nlanninq commission thatr' 1 )- A11 lands in the flood ptain be dedicated as a eommon area and open by public access routes to the general Public.Z) ProtEctive Covenant #h-6 be amended to include a strict }eash law and confinement of dogs and cats to the residents yard when not on a leash il Common areas above the lower Limits of the winter rangebepreservedintheirnativevegetation. fhank you for allowing the Division of Witdlife to provide input-on ifti" proiect.

The source of supp]y for the domestlc water service for applicantrs deveiopment will be ',rater Civerted from the Colo- rado Rlver a.Ll-uvium. Thj-s vraLer vrill be ciirectly applied to municlpal-type pui'poses to supply the detrelopment through a central water supply system. The means of diverslon of such water w1l-l be through Ri','erbend We1ls 1, 2r 3, lt and 5. In order to provid.e waher servj.ce through 1ls central system durlng tlmes of the year when lts -2- 3 we11.s w111 be out of prlority, appllcant proposes to use said wells as alternate polnts of diverslon for part of lts Vulcan Dltch rlghts, whl1e eontlnulng to divert through' Vulcan Dltch for lrr1ga- tlon purposes, to the extent permltted. As long as the. total amount of water dlverted through well-s and ditch does not exceed the amount of water decreed to Vul-can Dltch, and as long as the comblned depletlon to the rlver system from the Rlverbend wells and Vulcan Dlteh 1s not greater than the hlstorii: depletion from Vulcan Dltch, flo vested rlghts w111 be lnjured by appllcantts change of polnt of dlverslon of part or all of the Vulcan Dltch rlghts. 5. The total consumptlve use of the Vulcan Ditch rlghts has been approxlmabely 440 acre feet per year ln dry years. Slnce the preclse allocatlon of lvater among the several uses to whlch appllcant proposes to put its rlghts in connection wlth lts project 1s no'b flxed, the-. amount of the annual depletlons to the Colorado Rlver and .Canyon Creek caused by water use ln appllcan'b t s develop- ment cannot presently be ascertained. Ilowever, the 440 acre feet consumed hlstorlcally ls ava1labIe for consumptlon in appllcant t s development wlthout inJurlously affecting other water rights- The amount of consumptlve use assoclated wlth each aspect of applicanb t s development has been calculated as follows. For resldences ' all of whlch w111 be connected to a central- water and sewer system, household consumptlve use, not lncludlng yard lrrigatlon, w111 be 3% of the water supplled thereto. Although there may be eertaln other forms of consumers on the central water system than single- famlly domestlc clwelIi-ng units, such as multl-famlly or l-ight commerclal, the totalconsumptive use can adequately be expressed as a functlon of t'reslclentlal equivalent units.tr Ea-ch resldential equlvalent unit wl11 requlre the diverslon for j-n-house purposes of 0.3920 acre-feet per year, based upon a per caplta demand of 100 gallons per day, and an occupancy of 3.5 persons per dwel]ing unit' At 3% consumptlve use, thls resulbs in an annual coirsumptlve use of 0.0IIB acre-feet per resl.C.enllal- equlvalent unlt. Applicantrs -3- h& "$ sewage treatment program contemplates reuse of the effluent produced by 1bs sewage treatment plant for lrrigatlon of approxlmately 120 acres of pasture and hay meadow hlstorically irrigated by water dlverted through Vulcan Dltch. Thls program will requlre construc- tlon of a pond 1n which to store effluent during the wlnter perlod when no land ls being lrrlgated. Thls pond w111-be emptled each Succeedlng Summer by means of the sald land treatment program, so that storage space wlL1 be aval1abIe for the storage of effluent durlng the foLlowlng winter. Thls will result'in there bei-ng no carryover storage from one year to another. The exact slze of the eff}uentpondhasnotbeendetermined,butit1sexpectedtohave surface ai,ea of between four and twenty acres. The evaporatlon of water from the surface of this pond is calculated to be 1.0 acre feet per acre of water surface per year calculated at the deslgn hlgh water level-. Appllcant will- supplement the lrrlgation of the pasture as requlred for a full- supply thereon by the dlrect, dlverslorr of water through the Vulcan Dltch or the Riverbend welIs. For the hlstorlc hay meadow, regardless of whether lt j-s lrrlgated by thls eff]ueni or by water diveried through i/ulean Dj-tch or the Rlverbend welIs, consumptlve use is calculated to be 2.O acre feet per acre per year. The consumptive use of lrrlgation water for lawn and Landscape purposes is also calculated to be 2.0 acre feet per acre per year. cor;arre -l pressed 6. The total yearly consumptlve use resultlng from the purposes envi saged by appllcant may be colvenlently ex- b), the following formula: [ 0.0118 acre-feet x A] + [f . O acre f eet,/a-cre x B] + t2.0 acre fee|/acre x Cl + D = 440 acre feet where A 1s the total number of residentia-L equivalent rinlts; B ls the surface area j-n acres calcuLated at the deslgn hlgh r,v2ter ]eve1 of the sewage effluent stora6Se pond; C is the total number of acres of lawnr landscape or oiher irrlgation sr-rpplied by the central- water system and the number of acres of hlstoric hay meadow contlnued in irrigation, each year; and D 1s the total yearly amount, ln acre feet, of any other consumptive uses.

Besldes dlversion and appl ication to beneficial use, a valid water right must be issued by a court' and the date of issue is known as the adjudicatiin date. Both the appropriation and adjudi- catlon dates are important for determining the priority of water use that a *"t". right has in relation to other competing rights" The Riverbend property and water rights are within the colorado River Basln (lrrigation Divis'ton i, w.tu,. oistrilt lg). Riverbend has acquired an interest in the Vulcan Ditch which diverts from Canyon Creek in the SWt of Section 25' Township 5 south, Range 90 west and crosses the colorado River by means of a siphon to Riverbend proPerty. -The 1970 state Engineer of colorado tabulation lnformation associated with this ditch is as follows: I 970 Tab. No. 1453 368 r Name Vulcan Ditch 5.0 cfs 9/14/1908 Vulcan Ditch Enlargement 4'0 cfs 9/ 5/1952 Adj ud i cat i on Da te Appropriation Date 4/ 1/1907 to/ 8/1942 Riverbend has acqulred all of the senior rights for 5'0 cfs and the 4'O cfs junlor right. T;; analyses of tiit-report ire based on the ownership of only the senlor right, but the junior right would additionally strengthen the Riverbend wdter righ'ts position' The colorado River is an over-apPropriated stream, which means that in times of water shortage, certain right's in the basin are required to curtail their diversions in ora"r that suff iclent l.rater is available to satisfy the rights of senior diverters. ln an interview, the Division Engineer fo1 thg. colorado River gave the oplnion that Canyon Creek is internally iontrolled. That is, in the administration of the Appropriation Doctrine, ."i1, for water from senior appropriators on the Colorado do not go up this tributary. As ilgi::ted by the Water Commissioner|5 diversion records, sufficient water was available in Canyon Creek to meet the irrigation requirements of the Vulcan Ditch even in the drought years of 1954 and 1955. The vulcan Ditch watur.ight has, therefore' Proven to be a flrm Hr. Richard Thomas Thomas E Associates and dependable water right under theation Doctrine. ln our opinion, this Page ! June 21, l9l3 strict admlnistration of the Appropri- would also be true in the future. An important consideration of Colorado River water avai labil ity, other than Colorado water law, are the interstate and international agreernents for water use within the basin. These agreements include the Colorado Compact of 1922, Mexican Water Treaty of 1944, and the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact ofl9lt8. ln our opinion, oeither the senior nor the junior water rights assoclatedwith the Vulcan DItch will bb affected by these agreements. 0ur estimates, based on the wldely used Blaney Criddle Method, indicate that the historic consumptilva of the senlor Vulcan DItch right is suff icientlylarge to suPply the supply the year-round consumptive use or stream burdento the Colorado Rlver. ln transferrlng water frorn an Irrigation to a municipal use, the amount of waterbeing transferred quite often becomes a polnt of dlspute. The baslc theory often used by the courts is that a transfer can be made if the historic burden on the Stream is not increased. 'Therefore, the historic use record or lrrigation water and smcunt of land irrigated becomes important, lf the dltch has not been usedfor a number of years and certaln areas not irrigated, thls becomes a potential weakness of .,Fn otherwise good water right. .ftre hlstoric dlversion record gf,..the Vulcah Ditch ls tabulated below for sevenselected year, including the diought year of 1954. As can be seen from thetable, the Vulcan Dltch has been an historically active rlght, even with noshortages oecurring to it in a drought year" The hlstgrlc stream burden of an agricultural right such as the Vulcan Ditchis not equal to the amount diverted. -.When a crop is Irrigated, a certain per-cent of the ditch water runs overlandiand returns to the iiver, while an addl-tional Percentage soaks into the ground, percolates through the soil, and under-lylng material, and re-enters the river. 0nly a certain percentage is actually used by the plants and evaporated back to the atmosphere or consumed. Thishistorlcal ly consumed arTxcunt of water is the basic amount of water related to thehistorlc burden. Thus, if the historic consumptive use was 100 acre-feet outof 4OO diverted, and the new municipal use was going to have a 50 perrcent de-pletion (burned up), then one would be able to iransfer the old righi to a newmunlcipal use having a diversion potential of 200 acre-feet" Thls is simpllfiedbut lt does provlde an insight Into the way the court would probably vlew thetransfer proceeding. The exact Fmount consumed is a function of the climate,type of crop grown, irrigation method, and historic diversion record. Transferof Irrigation rights to a municipal use is predominately a legal matter withinput from engineers 69 to the anrcunt of water historically consumed. Hr.

Rl chard Thomas Thomas 6 Assocl ates ?age 7 June 18, 1973 A review of this data indicates that the Colorado would be an acceptable source from the standpolnt of rrii"iu, chloride, nitrate, and fluorlde concentrations; however, the totai-Jiitotved soi ids concentrations during the low flow periods may be as high as-700 milligrams per liter in the vicini ty of Rlverbend. This is a[proximately ?oo mi I I igrams per I i ter above the recomrnended limits. prliiminary f!9ld tests conducted by our office on Colorado River water on June g,. |973, tend to supPort the proba- blllty of high dissolved solids' Treatment processes designed to reduce dissolved solids concentrations are generally quite uxpensivl. Th.!s potential nro!lem tends to discourage the posslbl I lty of urilg iurface dive'rsions f rom the Colorado River for a munici- I"i-r"pply'untll nroie detai led studies have been completed. B. Canyon Creek Surface Water' Since vtcini tv renni al as a potentlal water resource' tJater quality records for canyon creek are not presently avallable' Hov'rever' prellminary tests by our offlce on June !, 1973, indicate that the dissolved solids in canyon creek are aPProximately 75 percent of the levels in the colorado River. lf this were the case ihroughout the year' canyon creek could be an acceptable water resource from the viewpoint of dissolved solids' ln addltion, the June 9 field tests on Canyon Creek showed that its soluble iron concentration was 0.5 milligrams p.r iiter, slightly higher than the U. S. public Health Servlcers relommended limit of 0'3 milligrams per liter' At this point in the investigations, slightly excessive iron in a surface water diversion cannot be coisiaered a dltriment, since its removal is simple and surface water requires treatment in any case' using the existlng diversion faci I i ties, including- the colorado RIver crossing, wate. "6uld elther be diverted ln only the summer months and stored for use in winter, or be diverted year-round after aPProPrlate step- are taken for winterization of tf,e dive.rion faci I ities' The water would be treated in a water treatrnent plant and pumped into the distribution sys tem.

AN ABSTRACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL ANAL'/SI S AND POTENTIAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED DEVETOPMENT AT RIV ERBEND NEAR NEWCASTLE, COLOMDO Prepared for The Riverbend Development Corporation By: C. D. Tolman \.PREFACE r Because of the scenic values of its setting, climate and location, the Glenwood Springs - Newcastle areawill become a major cultural and recreational center. Therefore, a community comp'lex designed to enhance those social, educational and economic opportunities already provided for the peop'le, is needed. The development of Riverbend with its 0utdoor Education Center, riding stables and water-oriented recreationa'l activities and demonstration catt'le ranch, will service this need. -2- Riverbend wi I 'l be devel oped as a rural cluster conrnuni ty. Thi s concept places high value on the preservation and maintenance of arura'l setting. The enhancement, rehabi'litation, restoration andinterpretation of the natural environment is important to the ruralcluster community development concept...most imirortant is the maintenance of the cultural va]ues which tie thb new community tothe past, and, at the same time, provide a ranch -'living envr'ron- ment where the resident can enjoy such recreationa'l pursuits as horseback riding, hiking and especially boating and bther water-oriented sports. 0pportunities for intellectual and social enjoyment will be provided by a we]1-designed 0utdoor Education Lenter and naturetrai'1, interpreting the flora and fauna, the geoiogica'l andpaleontological features of the area and the processes by which the regions natural resources are conserved through management. It is proposed that the deve'lopment take into consideration thefollowing e'lements in planning the community: 1. The Colorado River and those sports which can be oriented toward it. 2. The cattle-ranching and dude-ranching experiences i n connecti on wi th the 'l and . 3. The equestrian center with horseback riding availableto al l. 4. An 0utdoor Education Center with the unusual paleonto- logical features of the Grand Hogback as well as othergeological, zoological and botanical features connectedwith it. 5. The socio-economic needs of the conrnunity found along the Co'lorado River (the unique needs of the peop'le who livein the area ). \.THE CONCEPT -3- Environmental Concerns: PROCEDURE prior to any development or proposed chang-es_in land use, the following recomm.nalJ-p.ocedure'has been iollowed by The Riverbend Development CorPorati on . 1. A valid inventory and adequate understanding of the various components of the eco-s;'stems has been comPi I ed. 2. An understandinq of the interactions among these comPonents has been develoPed. 3. The environmental and ecological characteristjcs of the land has guided the type, location and character of proposed d6velopment. -The concept and plan is conpatible with natural features' 4.Anyandallchangeswillbemon.itoredtoinsure coirtinu'ing environmental protection' Inventory: 1. Description of the present distribution patterns.and relative uniqueness of the flora and fauna is being .o*pii.a.- Sfiiing and summer phases have been completed' 2. Description of physica] features'including topograPhY' soi.ls,' ir.iuc.-iu6surface geology, 1oca1 and regional ctimiie, hyJrology,'landscipe characte.istics' scenic ".rouii.r ind wii-derness vaiues are in the final stage of comPletion. 3. Description of man's presence and activities including histor\c sites, archeological materia'ls' grazing' agriiulir.., mining, recieation, transportation and utitities are be'ing comPiled' NOTE: "3" wiII also include "off-site" considerations' These are presently-ident'ified as.the interrelated subiects of Iand uSe, popi,tuiion, economic activity, utilities and community faciliti;;, -t;;;rpoitiiion, local- government and institutions, ilbii; i..uiiui, Lo*unity environment and the related socio- econom1c-consjderations of housing, educat'ion and train'ing ana emptoyment opportunities has been considered. -4- Impacts: A determination of impacts of the proposed development alternatives upon environmental resources has been made. The inventory phase is cbmpleted and specifications for types and 'levels of proposed al tbrnative deve'lopments have been determi ned, the env'ironmental consequences of these alternatives have been analyzed. Input From Regu'latory Bodjes: Inventory and impact obiectives are be'ing coordinated with the appropriate tocal, state and federal agencies as well as concerned and interested citizens. These obiectives are to make an inventory of environmental resources; a descript'ion of the present distribution patterns and relative uniqueness of the flora and the fauna; a description of the physical features including topography, soils, surface and non-suriate geology, slumping and landslide areas, loca'l and regional climates, hydrology,'landscape characteristics, scenic resouries and wilderness values; and a description of man's presence and activities, inc'luding history, archeo'logy, grazing, mining, recreation, transportation and uti'lities. El ements: The study e'lements considered are: 1. Environmenta] resources inventory. This is the recording and descriptions of the various components of the eco- systems in their present condition, such as: Vegetation, wi I d] if e, 'l imnol ogy, f i sheri es, soi'l s and geol ogy' c'limatology, hydrology and off-site impact. Basic resources data is being described and mapped. ?. Determination of impact of proposed-developemnt a'lternatives upon environmental resources. 3. Coordination of the above obiect'ives with the people. A Look at the Land: The land comprises a section of the Grand Hogback, a cuitivated meadow, the Colorado River with its riparian thread along one bank. F'ive eco-niches of climatic zones are evident. Man's use of the area for needed transportation routes, primarily I-70 and the railroad plus many years of ranching....first as a sheep ranch, then as a winter feeding ir.ea for cattle, with its accompanying farming has changed the native f'lora and fauna. time has not permitted a comp'lete study; indicatjons are, however, that the problem will be one of restoration and the impact-_ of i communiiy as envisioned by The R'iverbend Development Corporation will be beneficial rather than harmful. -5- The.degraded condition of the land is dramatically reflected by thekinds of bird'life found on the site. The bird fiuna is dominitea !.y ttv catchers such as says Phoebe, Arkansas Kingb'ird, the LeaseFlycatcher, woods Peel,lee, l,lestern Kingbirds, hrest6rn Tinager,violet-green swallows, Tree swallows ind other birds who depend onthe fly hatch fronr the river as a source of food; the usua'l'numberof-nesting, seed-eating birds have been observed during the study.Thirty or more Chucker partridges are found on the sit6. SUMMARY The Riverbend Deve'lopment area near Newcast'le is not environmentallysensitive. Natural va'lues wi'll be enhanced through restoration and deve I opment. - are general'ly well suited to the development ofthe proposed Eonrmuni ty. !lopes - in the area proposed as homesites are genera'lly gentle, offeringfGw-ltructural engineering problems. The devel5pment his-been ionfined " to the gent'l e s 1 opes . Vegetation - in most a'll the area is in the primary stage (weed stage) ofsuccess, because of denudat'ion by the construction of I-70, past use byrailroads and continuous farming. visual aqd Scenig_[qlqel - are outstandfng. The view from the site isaraJnaric@ewisimpaiieauytnei;ublicseivtce_power lines and the telephone service lines. - The view into the site along the Colorado River and nestled under the 9fun4.Hogback is_pastoral and beautiful, however, it was impaired bythe disruption of the repairan eco-system when I-70 was buiit. Litileor no attempt has been made to restore it. Qp5ite l,li'ldl'ife_[q]ues - are minor. The north side of the Hogback israiher poor winGr range for mule deer; however, a few deer ani an occasiona'l elk do drift into the area. There is a small flock of Chucker partridge on the site. Trout Fishery Va'lues - are an important recreational resource for thesite. There are seVeral 'large fishing ho]es on the colorado Riveroffering exce'llent fishing opportunitjes. Ha4qrds are Minor - the Hogback, though steep, is well stabilized. The@nintoaicounithe[ossiultitvofflash-f'Ioodingfromthe Hogback and placed the bu'i'lding sites accordingly. -6- 0utdoor Eluqation Opportuni'ties - are exce'l'lent. The site has anouTs[anA'ingEleon6-ioyiE-i-rETg". This cou'ld be one of the outstandingoutdoor education centers in the nation.

A development which fol'lows the ruralcluster community concept. rne pleasant aspects of ranch life areshared with the total community.' Recreational opportunities alreadypresent can be enhanced by proper use of existing trai'ls and the ColoradoRiver. School [nrollment.- will be greatly increased by the deve]opment ofR'iveF5enA--ffiding to siaie-Department of Educaiton rigui^.i, ffu.e are1,438 children enrolled in the otitrict and 3,083 individials iiving inthe area or about a thousand families. Each family has an average 5f1.5 child in school per family; therefore, if younq tami'lies buy-thema.j.ority of the houses, there-wijl be a totat "ot t,024 school childrenadded to the county rolls. This increase wil'l have a major impact onthe school systenr over the next 10 years. It was recommended that the planners of Riverbend consider carefully theenvironmental elements in every phase of the development and whereverpossible, p'lan programs of restoration and protectibn of natura'lconrnunities. ...this has been done. It is further recommended: wherever economical'ly feasible, that all power and telephonelines be placed underground and that an underground improvementdistrict be established in coordination with ihe water andsanitation district to accomp'lish this purpose, that as a matter of covenant, no person be abie to hold theState of colorado liable for damage caused by wildlife, that a trout habitat improvement program be a part of theplanned recreational program for Rivirbend, that.al'1. species of wildlife be managed and encouraged byspecial habitat improvement programs, that an outdoor education program be established (see attachments). RECOMMENDATIONS -7- I 1- PROPOSAL FOR AN OUTDOOR EDUCATION CENTER . LOCATED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY OF RIVERBEND NEl,l CASTLE, C0L0RAD0 BACKGROUND Like other expanding recreatinn and scenic areas, the Glen- wood Springs-Nevr Castle area needs open space, vlild'life sanc- tuaries and land devoted to telling the dramatic storyof the paleontologicai, geologica'l and living history of .the earth and water, as well as the story of the deve'lopingciviliaztion a'long the Grand Hogback and the Colorado River.It needs land particularly for the intrinsic educational,scientific and cultural values that such lands when properly progranmed holds for its citizens. Therefore, the Riverbend 0utdoor Education Center with its major paleonto'logical "dig" lccated ajacent to the Grand Hogback and the Colorado River, w'ithin a community being planned as an "ecological model" will be a highly significant natural asset indeed. Moreover, it could prove to be, ir the long run, a priceless educational heritage to ai'l the residents of the region and perhaps the nation. This proposal suggests guidelines and procedures for the deve'lopment of the paleontological "dig"; the river and the open space comprising the Grand Hogback as an Outdoor Education Center where the land will be programmed as "'landfor learning., inspiration and enjoyment". Step V Less. than one-ha'lf of the total Riverbend community vri'l'l. be zoned for residential use. The balance, inciuding the Colorado River vri l'l be used for educat'ional , cul tura I , and recreational programs. This decision has been made on the basis of the highest and best use of each portion , of the entire development. - Project P'ians Each projecl prcaram and structure must be planned in detail and coordinated with the master plan for the ccnmunity site. CONCEPT 0n-site programs for resident citizens of al't ages vri'11 be designed to demonstrate that the functions of a successfrrl conimunity of man follovrs patterns sinlilar to natural :oninunities (eco-systems) advisory councils to the Center vrijl prov'ide tire citizen and iearning institut.'ions an avenue, through the cultural and environmental education programs by which they can participate in the management of the Center. The basic purpose of the programs developed for the Center is to provide the comnunity vrith natural land vrhere children and adults can learn about the vrorld in which they live, boch past atrd present. Developing human understanding and an interest in total nature through the arts, sciences, and humanities is the main obiective of such programs. These programs may be grouped under four headings: 1. Educational: To increase knowledge and understanding of our natural wor'ld and man's place as a part of it. To deve'lop sensitivity, av/areness, appreciation, and affection totvard nature, beauty, and natural resources. To develop desire based upon understanding and a wi'11 to protect the'living and non-living resources of the earth and to use them wise1y.. To provide an outdoor setting for the enrichment of the total school curri cul a. To provide an opportunity for people of various ages to benefit from direct, first-hand study and learning experiences in the outdoors. 2. Scientific: To have a natural area vrhere students may study physical features of the 'land and native flora and fauna, both present and past. To hold in perpetuity some representative samples landscape and biosystem, both in the geologic past and the To he'lp provide a natural outdoor 'laboratory for and satisfaction of scientific curiosity. of the na'"i'.'e living presenr". the stir,ru'lation a The O*tdoor Education Ccnbcr wiII invitc thc citizens of the arca to participate in the following cclucational prograrns aimed at devcloping the open sljace as rrland for learning, inspiration, and enjoyment".

Tasks of a Team To es,cablish guidelines for tle protection, enhancement and Preservation of a unioue natural treasure. (The Paleontology Dig) To plan the use of the opeil space as la:rcl for inspiration, learning and enjoyrnenE. THE NEED Modern social scientists have deterrnined the hurnan factors that lead to a happy and contented life; pleasant livablity. . . quietude, natr-rra1 surroundings. . . a rever- ence for beauty and all livirre things...are among these factors. They are also the attribrrtes of.a community wl^ich learns frorn nature. Cornrnunities, horvever, cannot have these things just by providing open space. The people rnust have a aingleness of purpose and a rviil to protect and learn, Open space and natural land within and near hurnan habitation rnust be used according to a well-thought-out plan of action if naturalness is to remain. The carelessness of man soon takes over when there is no plan--no program. Trash piles up in wooded glens. Rare wild beauty is trampled underfoot. Quietude and pleasant livability are lost and man no longer holds in reverence U,ving things. A properly planned Outdoor Education Center teaches reverence for i.ratural and living things. The purpose of this outline is to guide the open-space planning efforts so that wild land and open space can be programed as r'land for learning, inspiration, and en- joymentt'. THE PLANNING PROCEDURE One of the primary functions of the Outdoor Education Center is to p1an, develop, coordirrate and adrninister ourdoor-oriented prograns as a part of the open-space system and to help develop the on-site facilities needed to carry out the Prograrns. Such prograrrrs rnust extend into the cornmunity at large so as to reflect the needs of the community. Steps in planning are outlined below: Step.I - Deterrnine the needs of tlre cornnrunity and educational institutions. Pro- grarrls at the center rnust be a part of the curricullrn of the schools and learning institutions of the area. SIgp.II : S:rrvev an4 -Use Plan Gather inforruation and suggest possible planniug. use as background inforrnation for future Step_III: The Master Plan A cornprehensive plan of the entire open-space and parks system and Progralns. A master plan will outline procedures, policies, prograrns, and on-site devel- opments for the Outdoor Education Center. Step.LV- Site Plan Eacl: rnajor corrrponcnt rnust be planned in detail. This proposal suggests guide- lines and procedures for the developnrent of the open spaces rvithin and adjacetrtto the corrrrnunity of Riverbencl as "I-and for learning, inspiration, and enjoyn-rent. " Dra i nage Study Riverbend Subdivision There are seven drainage areas vrhich drain through this subdivision. Each drainage has been considered separately. The sfudies are based on both field inspection and office computations. For clarification the drainages have been numbered from Viest to East. (See attached nrap.) Drainages 1,2,3,6, & 7 have very dense vegetation throughout the entire drainage basins. Also tho bottoms of the channels of these basins have considerable vegetation. Drainages 4 & 5 have sparse vege* tation. The soi I in these two drainages shows high degree of erosion. Both channels are cut very deep in comparison to the other channels. Drainages numbers 1,2,3,6, & 7 have rock bottom channels, whereas 4 & 5 have dirt bottom channe I s. Drainage number t has three smal I tion it is suggested that a smal I dyke west. The major amounf drains west at insuro that this would continue. A 30 drainage. contributing gulches. Upon field inspec- be used to force the drainage to the fhe present time. The dyke would inch diamefer pipe is suggested for this Drainage number 2 is a single gulch basin. As In drainage number 1, a dyke is suggested to insure drainage to the yrest. A 24 inch diameter pipe is suggested for fh i s dra i nage. Drainage number 3 is a single gulch basin. This basin drains natural ly to the river. lt is suggested that a 30 inch diameter pipe be used for this dra i nage. Drainage number 4 is a single gulch basin. This is the smal lest drainage of the seven under consideration, yet the velocity of runoff is higher than the others. This has led to a very uride and deep channel. lt is suggested that rock riprap be used at the outlet ends of all pipe in this drainage to prevent scouring of the channel bottom. lt is also suggested that a 42 inch pipe be used for this drainage. Drainage number 5 has two contributing gulches. The channel is the deepest of all channels considered. Again, velocities are high in this channel, causing heavy scouring of the channel bottom. This drains naturally to the river. lt is suggested thai rock riprap be placed at the outlet of al I pipes in this basin. It is suggested that a 60 inch pipe be used in this drainage. Drainage number 6 has three contributing gulches. largest drainage. lt is suggested that a 42 inch pipe Drainage number 7 has five area. This has natural drainage pipe be used in this drainage. contri buti ng gu I ches. to the river. lt is This is the second be used in this drainage.

A good cover of vegetaEion can proEect the area from erosion, prevenL the esEabLishment of noxious weeds, improve appearance, reduce mainEenance and provide a longer life for a compLeted project. IE may also improve Ehe area for wi1d1i.fe, Seeding should be done as soon as possible and pracEical after consErucEion is compleEed. The ideaL Eime is the same as for pasEure and range seeding but iE is beEter to seed at any time of year Ehan risk not seeding at all. Unl-ess steep slopes can be roughened later, they should be seeded immediately, while Lheir surfaces are sEil-l loose. SEEDBED PREPAMTION AND PLANTING The best means of providing for rhrifEy sEands of perennial grasses and legumes is Eo place topsoiL on sEerile areas. As lictle as one inch will make significant improvemenE. More 1s better. Heavy applicaEions of manure or a good, balanced fertilizer will also aid in stand establishment. Annual applicauions will contribuEe to conEinued good growth. Compacted areas should be spiked Eo incorporate topsoil or ferLilizer and provide good tilth for seedling growEh and esrablishment. I^lhen seed musE be broadcasE, roughen surfaces enough to provide a place for seed and fertilizer to lodge and be covered by Ehe acEion of rain and snowmelE in order to promote germination and stand establishment. A spike harrow, properl-y weighted, will leave a sLope in excellent condiEion for planuing in this manner. Areas Ehat can be drilled shoul-d be Eill-ed and packed in the same manner needed for forage plantings. Dril1 the area Ewice, the second operation aE an angle to Ehe firsE, each time at one half the recommended seeding rate. U. S.

Use a dri1l for planting whenever possible and practical b do so. Drill the area Errice' the second tlme aE an angle Eo the first. This wilt give better dlstribution of seed and plants and provide g.orrttd cover more quickty. When drilting on slopes, keep the box fu11 of seed or instatt dividers L8-24n apart in Ehe box to keep seed from settling to one end leaving part of the holes uncovered. Seed shoutd not be uovered more Ehan about one half inch deep' MI'LCH A uniform mulch cover of t to 2 tons per acre of sEraw or $leed free native hay w111 reduce or prevenE erosion until a stand can be establlehed. A soil" ProEected by mulch holds more rnoisture near the surface and promotes germination and emergence. Mulches may need Eo be anchored to prevent removat by wind. Grass cut when the seed is mature can serve both as mulch and source of seed.
