Trail Contractor: To Be Determined
1. Project Description: Construct Phase I Of South Ganyon Trails System on City of Glenwood
Springs land, with a short segment of one trail on BLM land.
o
a
a
Tramway Trail: 16,150 linearfeet. 65%+ historic bench cut road to trail conversion. (3.06 miles,
771' of elevation change, 4o/o aveÊee gradient.) Shared-use (foot, bike), beginner / intermediate-
friendly trail beginning at the lower trailhead, crossing South Canyon Creek to utilize the best
possible trail alignment on BLM land, then running up the canyon utilizing old road cuts and some
steep slopes, and terminating at the upper trailhead.
Lightning Bug Trail: 9,100 linear feet. 25o/o+ historic bench cut road to trail conversion.
(1.72 miles, 540'of elevation change, 6% average gradient.) Descending-optimized, mountain bike-
focused trail beginning at the upper trailhead and descending on mostly moderate slopes between
Tramway and County Road 134. Above a midway junction with Tramway, the trail provides the
option to loop back to the upper trailhead. The trail would terminate at a junction with Tramway near
the landfill entrance gate.
Goal Gamp Trail: 17,600 linear feet. (3.33 miles, 900' elevation change, 8% average gradient)
Shared-use, intermediate level trail beginning at the upper trailhead, climbing gently at first through a
side canyon meadow, then more steeply through mostly mature pine forest with great views of the
Horse Mountain ridge to the highest elevation of the City land near the shared boundary with BLM
land to the south. This trail loops back on itself near the highpoint. RFMBA will evolve the mapped
design for this trail to include directional up / down trail segments within the initial 114 mile of the side
canyon meadow (estimated linear footage is included).
Sustainable natural surface trail systems are designed to be low impact and low maintenance. Since
erosion is the main cause for trail maintenance work, trail design and construction techniques have been
developed specifically for the prevention of erosion.
The trail surface is compacted soil and the trail surface width varies from 1.5'to 4' but is typically 2.5'to 3'
2. The following Sustainable Trail design criteria have been specifically developed as a strategy to
control erosion. (Not all conditions and recommendations are applicable to this particular project)
South Canyon Trails System - Erosion and Sediment Control Narrative Page 1
a. Trails are located so that they are nearly parallel to the grade, following, rather than crossing, the contour
lines (Figure 1.1). The cross section of disturbance measured along the fall line will be typically less than
10'.
b. Grade reversals (Figure 1.2) are provided at least every 100'-150'This rolling contour design breaks the
trail into micro watersheds and ensures that existing flow and flow channels are uninterrupted by the trail
making it hydrologically invisible on the hillside. lt also prevents storm runoff from concentrating itself and
flowing on the surface of the trail for any distance.
c. The averaoe orade of the trail is oenerallv 60/¡ and varies between 1o/a and 10%. The maximum orade_.-._v-9._.-_...-9-.
generally does not exceed 20o/o, but may exceed 20o/o in circumstances such as grade reversals and
switchback turn approaches.
d. Trail tread (Figure 1.3) is generally designed with a 5% minimum out-slope to encourage sheet flow. ln
some instances, the trail is in-sloped for short distances (Figure 1.4) to reduce sheer forces and to prevent
soil displacement.
e. A minimum 25' buffer of existing vegetation is maintained as a filter strip between the limits of trail
construction disturbance and water features.
f. Trail alignments are graded so that water will remain in drainage swales (Figure 1.5)
3. The following Sustainable Trail construction practices are used to control erosion:
a. The trail construction process is completed by a team working in close proximity to each other. The
distance from the crew clearing vegetation from the trail corridor, back to the finish workers, is rarely more
1,000'. The team prunes the woody vegetation by hand and may install wattles if high flow drainages exist;
next, the team uses hand tools or small machines to construct the trail tread and back-slope; lastly, the
team dispersos the spoils, tracks loose soil, and compacts the tread and back-slope.
b. Disturbance is phased so that only small sections are under construction at any time. Soil is typically only
moved a few feet from its point of origin to the down-slope portion of the trail where it is integrated into the
vegetative filter.
South Canyon Trails System - Erosion and Sediment Control Narrative Page 2
c. Back-slope stabilization: The area of the hillside just above the trail is the backslope (Figures 1.6 & 1 .7)
The height of the backslope is a direct function of the local terrain. The backslope is typically 1'-2'high
although it can be higher in certain situations. lt will be graded to a maximum 2:1 slope whenever the
existing slope is 2:1 or less. A combination of compacting, tracking, and furrowing is used to prevent
slumping and riling and create seed-friendly pockets to facilitate re-vegetation. Jute mesh may be used to
stabilize back-slopes steeper than 2:1.
d. Spoils stabilization: The organic and mineral spoils from the excavation are typically broadcast in a thin
layer down-slope of the trail avoiding drainages or swales. By scattering the spoils the existing vegetation is
not smothered and quickly grows back up through the spoils. By mixing the native topsoil over the existing
vegetation, the native seed bank is preserved and provides the seed stock for stabilization by local
vegetation.
e. Trail tread: the finished trail tread is a compacted natural soil surface that, due to the minimal grades and
distance between swales allowed with a rolling contour design, is extremely erosion resistant. The trail is
typically bench cut where the soil is excavated from the hillside providing a fill compacted by the machinery
used to construct the trail. The outer edge is rolled at the critical point to allow water to sheet flow off the trail
(Figures 1.6, 1.7)
f. Frequently soil adjacent to the trail will be harvested to provide mineral soil for the trail tread. The "borrow
sites" are filled with mulch and when located below a low spot or drain on the trail act as sediment traps
during construction. These detain sediment-laden runoff from disturbed areas long enough for the majority
of the sediment to settle out. They may be used in conjunction with erosion control practices such as
temporary seeding, mulching, diversion dikes, etc., to reduce the amount of sediment flowing into the basin
g. Dips and crossings: Where water is concentrated either by the trail or where concentrated flow crosses
the trail, such as at a turn or natural swale, rock armored crossings (Fig.2.7 & 2.8), grade reversals (Figure
1 .2) and knicks (Figure 1 .8) are built to disperse the water, slow its velocity and spread it out into the natural
filter of the surrounding vegetation.
h. ln wooded areas, where seed is unlikely to germinate, leaf litter is used to mulch the disturbed areas
4. Standard trail construction: Natural surface trail construction is accomplished with a combination
of machine and hand labor. Typical machines used can include:
South Ganyon Trails System - Erosion and Sediment Control Narrative Page 3
a. Primary Construction: 3'wide metal{racked ride-in dozer (SWECO 300), and I or a 4'wide rubber{rack
mini-excavator (Bobcat 323 or equivalent).
b. Other Support Machines/Devices: Ride-on and/or walk-behind haulers/crawlers to transport materials
around jobsite, (various Canycom models, S25A, SC75, BFP602); skid-steer loaders to transport materials
around jobsite and/or load haulers/crawlers (Bobcat T190); specialized implements such as a vibrating
compactorto finish aggregate surface. Note: none of these machines will be used on this project.
5. Existing conditions: 80% of trail is in vegetated areas predominated by oak brush, service berry, and
Ofhershruhherv while 2Oo/^is in lerrain \Àrifh nraccrr rnaadnrrrc Sir{o clnnac rranrfrnm 4^o/^-^no/^ hrrf mngftt vvtvt ,,
often are in the 20% - 40% range.
6. Typical erosion and sedimentat¡on control practices: Erosion and sedimentation control practices are
used strategically to minimize impacts on the existing landscape. A 25' minimum buffer of existing
vegetation shall be maintained down slope of all disturbed areas to filter any runoff. All newly disturbed
areas are treated immediately. Trail tread is graded and compacted to encourage sheet flow of water and
any other bare areas are covered with native ground material. Seeding may be done as directed by agency
staff or regulation.
7. Critical erosion areas: Critical erosion areas include back-slopes that are steeper than 2:1 and those
areas where the trail crosses an intermittent stream or there is no adequate vegetative buffer between the
trail and the water body. ln these cases, jute mesh straw bale barriers, wattles, or found objects (logs, rocks,
or brush) may be used to control erosion during trail construction and restoration periods. When jute mesh
or wattles are used they will be entirely made up of decomposable material and will be left in place to
decompose naturally rather than cause additional post construction disturbance during removal. Wattles are
6" 1012" diameter and 6'to 20' long.
8. Tree removal: No live trees greater than 4" DBH shall be removed unless authorized by the land
manager. Occasionally a standing dead tree must be taken down. Removed material is incorporated into
the construction as described above. Fallen trees are turned sideways to the slope when possible to help
break flow of water and create habitat areas.
9. Minor modifications: The trail alignment may need minor modifications in the field to minimize impact on
natural resources and adapt to changes in existing site conditions.
South Canyon Trails System - Erosion and Sediment Control Narrative Page 4
EROSION, SEDIMENTATION, AND LAND CONSERVATION NOTES:
1. Land manager will notify pertinent authorities at least 48 hours prior to the start of construction in
accordance with the applicable state ordinances and policies.
2. Land manager grants the right of entry onto this property to the appropriate personnel for the purpose of
inspecting and monitoring for compliance with this plan.
3. A copy of the approved erosion and sediment control plan shall be kept on the site at all times
4. The contractor shall coordinate the location of staging areas with the project manager
5. lf conditions necessitate, land manager may wish to provide a temporary stone construction entrance at
the location of the contractor's choosing. Atemporary stone construction entrance is a stabilized stone pad
with a filter fabric underliner that reduces the amount of mud transported onto paved public roads by
constructionvehicles. #1 courseaggregate (21o3 inchstone)isplacedatleast6inchesdeepontopof the
filter fabric. The construction entrance is a minimum of 12'feet wide and 70 feet long.
6. The contractor shall be responsible for the installation and maintenance of all erosion and sediment
control practices at all times.
7. The contractor shall inspect all erosion and sediment control measures biweekly and after each rainfall
event of 0.5' or more, and immediately enact any necessary repairs or cleanup.
8. ln the event, such as unforeseen site conditions, that non-biodegradable temporary erosion and sediment
control measures must be used, they are to be removed within 30 days after adequate site stabilization and
after the temporary measures are no longer needed, as authorized by the appropriate inspectors.
9. During construction of the project, soil stockpiles and borrow areas shall be stabilized or protected with
appropriate sediment control measures.
10. All work shall be monitored by project manager or land manager on a weekly basis and evaluated for
satisfactory stabilization and re-vegetation. lf a satisfactory condition has not been achieved within 30 days,
additional measures, such as seeding, mulch, jute mesh, rock armoring, or wattles, shall be applied as
needed to achieve a stable condition.
South Ganyon Trails System - Erosion and Sediment Control Narrative Page 5
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Occasionally, trail construction techniques may need to deviate from the typical bench cut trail tread. This is
often done in seasonally wet or flat areas.
1. RAISED TREAD CONSTRUCTION: The trail tread can be lifted above the surrounding elevation by
excavating mineral soil adjacent to the trail and placing it on the trail tread, raising the surface. This can also
be accomplished with a stone turnpike, where rock is used to elevate the tread above soft or wet terrain.
(Figure 1.9)
2. CROSSING EPHEMERAL DRAINAGES, WETAREAS, AND BOULDER FIELDS:A Puncheon is a
wooden walkway used to create a reliably dry crossing when the trail passes over bogs, boulder fields,
small streams or ephemeral drainages. lt can be used where uneven terrain or lack of tread material makes
turnpike construction impractical. Final puncheon design may vary depending on site conditions/
requirements.
Additionally, rock armored tread can also create a stabilized crossing of streams and ephemeral drainages.
Rock armoring techniques include stone pitching (Figure 2.0), flagstone paving (Figure 2.1) and standard
armoring, where rock is buried just below the trail tread with soil or gravel on the surface. At instances
where the swale gradient exceeds 30 percent, check dams may be placed to prevent headcutting (fig.2.7 &
2.8). These areas will be monitored during construction. These practices will be implemented as needed or
on a case-by-case basis.
3. ln situations where the soils lack adequate strength or cohesion, crushed stone may be mixed with the
native soil before compaction takes place.
4. ROCK RETAINING WALLS: Rock retaining walls (Figures 2.2,2.3, & 2.4) may be used in certain
situations, such as when building trail near a mature tree, to protect its roots by elevating the trail above
ground, or when undertaking switchback construction on steeper sideslopes (Figure 2.5).
EQUIPMENT MOVEMENT
ln order to prevent the introduction of sediment onto existing roadways and parking lots, contractors shall
1. Not drive vehicles off of improved road surfaces of the city's land
South Canyon Trails System - Erosion and Sediment Control Narrative Page 6
2. Unload and reload equipment directly onto and off of the trailer from trail alignment. Equipment shall
not be operated on the improved road surfaces unless they are free of sediment/dirt.
3. After completing construction steps 1-10, return equipment to the parking lot where any dirt or soil that
has accumulated on the equipment will be brushed off and dispersed like typical spoils, then covered
with native organic material.
4. Utilize trail building equipment that is small (36"-48" wide) and does not accumulate more than a few
pounds of soil.
5. Not operate equipment in wet conditions, which prevents the accumulation of mud.
6. Upon reaching the end of the improved surface by vehicle, contractors willtypically walk, ride bicycles,
or ride fat tire motorcycles along the construction site's new trail alignment.
MAINTENANCE NOTES
1. Trim Vegetation: Keeping the trail corridor maintained helps keep people on the trail. Some forested
areas require two corridor-clearing projects per year, clearing downed trees in the spring and clearing
overgrowth in the fall.
2. Deberming: Well-built trails with proper outslope can lose their tilt over time and begin trapping and
funneling water. Scraping the mounded dirt off the tread's downslope edge and reestablishing a 5
percent outslope is a common maintenance job on most trail systems (Figure 2.6).
3. Knicks: A knick (Figure 1 .8) is a semi-circular, shaved down section of trail, about 10 feet in diameter,
that is canted to the outside of the trail. The center of the knick is outsloped at about 15 percent, which
draws water off the trail. Knicks are typically built on gentle sections of trail where water tends to puddle.
4. Grade Reversals: Grade reversals require routine seasonal maintenance to remove organic materials
and silt that occasionally collect in them. lf left unattended, they will clog over time and become
ineffective.
5. Wooden structures/puncheons: These structures should be inspected annually (or current agency
protocol)for safety.

Similarly, to minimize conflicts withresidential traffic and impacts to the historic areas near the top of the canyon, the best location for a trailheadwould be in the. graded lot be.hincl the gate to the mine reclamation area, moving the gate. uphill/south of thegraded lot. This upper trailhead would currently hold approximately 15 to 20 vehicles. Finally, a formalizedvehicle turnaround just south of the landfill gate and parking for 3-5 vehicles would provide service forI-ightning Bug and Alpine Slide trails and would be an ideal location to provide interpretive information on thepâst a"nd present uses of South Canyon.It0

I forwarded this to Lou as well. He agrees, no parking on the roadway. I think we all can agree lt's to narrow and
congested. I would also suggest some designated parking areas be created. Seems like the best opt¡on.

Dear Glenn,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the permit application for the South Canyon Trail system.
The applicant has provided a noxious weed inventory conducted by the South Side Conservation District in 2012. That
inventory is sufficient. The Glenwood Springs Parks Department has provided a statement on their past weed
management efforb in South Canyon as well as application records lrom 2017.
The applicant has provided a section entitled Finished Tnil Construction and Maintenance Guidelines. Guideline 10Í2 on
invasive species mentions the cleaning of equipment both before entering the work site and also before bansporting
equipment off-site. The applicant is encouraged to follow this best management practice.
For revegetation, erosion and sediment management, the Erosion and Sediment Control Narrative and Notes are
satisfactory if followed by the applicant.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

March 31,2018
South Canyon Trail Bridge
SGM 2018-SC-Bridge
SGM has performed the engineering design for the proposed trail bridge located on City of
Glenwood Springs property in South Canyon. The project consists of constructing concrete
bridge abutments and installing the bridge superstructure. The bridge superstructure is owned
by the City of Glenwood Springs and is currently located at the Red Mountain Trailhead in
Glenwood Springs. The bridge will be relocated to the proposed location in South Canyon to
provide a crossing of South Canyon Creek for the new South Canyon Trail, which is currently
under construction.
The existing bridge superstructure consists of steel beams, a timber plank deck and peeled log
railings. lt is anticipated that the bridge can be removed, transported and reset without
modification to the bridge. The weight of the existing bridge is estimated to be 10,000 pounds.
The existing steel beams have adequate capacity to support a 90 pounds per square foot (psf)
pedestrian load, consistent with current American Association of Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) design criteria.
The bridge railing consists of vertical posts attached the steel beams and horizontal rails
spanning between the posts. The clear distance between the horizontal railings is 5T2", which
satisfies the AASHTO requirement for maximum gap distance of 6". The height of railing
measured from the deck is 3'-7yo", which meets the AASHTO requirement of minimum railing
height of 3'-6".
The bridge spans South Canyon Creek approximately 600 feet upstream of the confluence with
the Colorado River. SGM has performed a basic hydrology and hydraulics analysis using the
US Geological Survey (USGS) StreamStats application and FlowMaster software. According to
the StreamStats application, the South Canyon Creek drainage area above the bridge is 11.1
square miles and the predicted 1O0-year flow is 322 cubic feet per second (cfs). According to
the FlowMaster analysis, the water depth at the bridge is calculated to be approximately 3 feet
below the bottom of the steel beam for the 322 cfs design event. The analysis was based on
the channel cross section shown in the General Layout Elevation view (from SGM topographic
survey), an assumed channel slope of 0.05 ft/ft and a Mannings coefficient of 0.060. Based on
these results, it is our opinion that the watérway opening under the bridge is adequate to pass a
1OO-year storm event without overtopping the bridge.
I l8 W. ó'h St, Sre 200 Glenwood Springs, CO 8ló01 Phone 970-945-1004 Fox 970"945-5948
A bridge scour analysis has not been performed because this bridge is not considered a critical
structure and no geotechnical data is available for the channel bank soils. We recommend that
backfill in front of, and around, the abutments be armored with onsite rock material to the extent
practical to provide nominal scour protection.
The City of Glenwood Springs Engineering Department has requested that a representative of
SGM perform rebar placement inspections prior to all concrete pours. Please contact me in
advance of these activities to schedule the necessary inspections.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

South Canyon Bridge Design SGM-3-20-L8.pdf
Sheryl,
Thanks to you and everyone else for time on the project site yesterday
Attached are the 95o/o complete bridge design drawings for reference. Completed version will delete the
satellite photo background and add details for steel embeds, etc. I will work with Mike Fowler at SGM to get a
letter regarding the design's high water capacity (this was an initial/primary design consideration). Fowler
indicated yesterday that current pedestrian bridge code does allow for 6" gaps, so no addition of wire mesh will
be needed for the railing system. Additionally, the code requires 42" rail height; the existing bridge rail height is
abotÍ44".
best,
Mike Pritchard

Hl All, Just wanted to reconfirm, the bridge does not require a building permit. Based on the information available to us
at this time, we are also not going to require a flood plain development permit, but we will need to get, for our file, a
written opinion from one of your engineers that indicates that the bridge will not impact the stream channel or
increase the potential of downstream damage in the case of flooding. We'd be happy to discuss this further if needed.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Hi Riley,
I am sorry it has taken me awhile to be able to delve into our flood plain ordinance and make sure of what we need
It looks like our park project will need a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis - a model to show no rise within the city as a
result of the project improvements within the floodway. Part of the project is also within the flood plain. The flood plain
regulations focus on structures. I don't remember the park plans well, but I don't think we have any in the floodplain...
They are cutting the bank back, but are adding fill and an abutment to the island area. Our ordinance says that
encroachments, fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other development are prohibited unless the
developer/City can demonstrate no rise...
Our ordinance is on line in our municipal code. Let me know if you have additional questions or if I can help

City Owned Lands in South CanYon
Tom,
I am not qualifíed to say the City does or does not own the mineral rights to the länd it owns in South Canyon.
Having said that, based on a quîck review of the City's Permanent Documents, I would have to assume that the City
does, in fact, own the mineral rlghts on the lands it acquired ín Soulh Canyon ín the mld-1950's. To support that
observation, lwould refer to the following documents:
1. There is a coal lease in 1958 that specifically 'reserves from the operation of this (Coal) lease oil, gas and other
minerals excepting coal, together wlth the right to prospect for, explore, drill and remove the same, without
undue interference with lessees' operations"
Z. There was another coal lease in 1978 w¡th essent¡ally the sarne reservation'
3. The City entered into an Oil & Gas lease with the Puckett Resources Company in April 1982
4. The City entered ínto an Oil & Gas lease with the Moblf OilCorporation in 1988.
I would thínk the last two leases would be the strongest evidence to indicate that the City does hold the mineral rfghts,
as I doubt that energy companfes such as Puckett and Mobilwould enter into leases if they were not clear that the
leasing entíty had mineral r¡ghts to lease.
Hopefully this helps you in your efforts.

RE: South Canyon Bridge Construction
Hl All, Just wanted to reconfirm, the bridge does not require a building permit. Based on the information available to us
at this time, we are also not going to require a flood plain development permit, but we will need to get, for our file, a
written opinion from one of your engineers that indicates that the bridge will not impact the stream channel or increase
the potential of downstream damage in the case of flooding. We'd be happy to discuss this further if needed.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
