COMMENTS ON RAFTING COMPANY
SPECIAL USE PERMIT IN GLENWOOD CANYON
During past years, private property owners in the Grizzly Creek area of
Glenwood Canyon have leased their land to local rafting companies. When
the Colorado Department of Highways (CDOH) acquired these lands for I-70
right-of-way, the lease arrangement with the rafting companies was
continued. In September 1981, it appeared that for the 1982 rafting season
the area would be used for staging of construction areas on nearby projects.
The leases were terminated with the rafting companies, with general agreement
that in the unlikely event of not needing the areas for the 1982 rafting
seasons, CDOH would allow the areas to be leased.
Of course, the unlikely occurred and the areas were not necessary for
construction staging. In March of 1982, an auction was held, and two sites
were leased to high bidders, who happened to be the former leasees.
CDOH has made many commitments to mitigate not only environmental impacts
due to I-70 through Glenwood Canyon, but social and economic impacts as
well. The leasing of space for rafting companies is an attempt at mitigating
economic impacts by allowing companies to operate near the rafting access
points on the Colorado River.
The use of the area as a rafting operations point has been previously
established by these companies in years past. Traffic conflicts and other
problems have been worked out between CDOH and these companies. These

companies have cooperated fully with CDOH, and are in the area with our
blessing. CDOH recommends that you issue a special use permit and any
other permits necessary to allow this firm to engage in a safe, profitable
operation at Grizzly Creek.
