I)ate: November 712023

Subject: Erosion Control
HCE Projectz 22017 40.t0
Introduction
As requested, on November 3,2023, representatives of Fligh Country Engineering Inc. visited Tracts
17 &. 18, Grand Hogback Ranches to evaluate the apparent stability of the surface soíls.
Observations
It appeared that grading has recently occurred within Tracts 17 &, I8. Other stock plied materials were
also observed within the site. However, no evidence mud, nor debris was observed escaping the'site.
The surface soils appeared to be generally stable at the time of the site visít. ' '
.
-' ' ': -
:. ':
RecommendatÌons
1. A grading permit should be obtained from appropriate goveming agencies, prior to
additional grading at the site.
continuatiön of
2. Perimeter linear erosion control measures should be installed along the northerly limits of the
recently graded areas to as a preventative to intercept possible future mud or debris from potentially
escaping the site in the future
, ,, ,
3. During the forthcoming spring growing season of 2024,bare soil areas should be mulclieti and sown
with native grasses to achieve soil stability

Review of Watershed Permit Submittal
Dear Glenn,
The purpose of this letter is to follow up with our review of data prepared by High Country Engineering and Balcomb
and Green for the watershed permit application to the Town of New Castle following their review of our February
8,2023 review letter to you.
To conduct our preliminary review, we have been in receipt of the following information:
t. A four (4) sheet set of drawings prepared by HCE dated as stamped on 5/26/23. These are drawings of a
portion of the internal access road and proposed ties to CR 335 with proposed details for construction.
Notable from New Castle's perspective is the absence of design of the modifications previously proposed
on the access that was revised, now opposite the Riverpark Condominium project.
2. The 6119/23 Letter from Balcomb & Green to David McConaughy.
3. A5/25123 Drainage report prepared by Hieh Country Engineering for the access road represented in the
four-sheet set of drawings.
4. A revegetation bond for the portion of access road represented.
5. Response comments to our 2/8123lelter.
6. 6lt9l23 Watershed Permit application.
7 . Revised plans prepared by HCE on the roadway for Lots 5-13 stampe d 8l3Ll2O23
GENERAT OBSERVATIONS MADE WITH THE PROPOSAL
Note that our prior letter of 2/8/23 recommended design modifications to the previously submitted design for ties
to the portion of County Road 335 that are now under ownership and maintenance of the Town of New Castle.
Likewise, our letter identified concern for the Town of New Castle is the fact that the drainage report stops short
of providing any calculations, recommendations or proposed improvements that would mitigate the increased flow
anticipated to exist as a result of the modified drainage conditions observed to exist as a result of the mass grading
that has occurred upstream ofthe existing drainage infrastructure across and under CR 335 and through Riverpark
Subdivision. The report does not evaluate the impacts of the grading activities on these culverts and whether or
not the existing infrastructure (that crossing CR 335 and through Riverpark) is capable of handling the increased
flows.
The review of the data submitted does not adequately address our concerns for the western most access tie to
County Road 335 (through the Town owned and maintained portion) nor does it address the drainage, erosion
I l8 West Sixth St, Suite 200 | Glenwood Springs, CO Bl 601 | 970.945.1OO4

control or sediment concerns related to the mass grading that has occurred on the property (Lots 14-18) west of
the western most tie to County Road 233. Given such, we cannot grant a right of way permit, nor a watershed
permit until an application that is prepared to fully address these issues is submitted, reviewed and accepted.
The information submitted in July along with the watershed permit were intended to address the access to lots 5-
13 only and deals solely with the eastern roadway tie to CR 335 (across from the Riverpark east roadway tie). We
have reviewed the watershed permit data and right of way permit data for this driveway and access road and have
determined that the submittal for both is now acceptable for both permits. The watershed permit has a
reclamation bond provided and the August 3t,2023 revised design of the drivewaytie to CR 335 is acceptable to
the Town.
The Town subsequently has issued the right of way permit and this letter is intended to serve as the watershed
permit for the roadway serving Lots 5-L3 only.
Upon your receipt and review of this letter if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
SGM

Here are the dimensions and seed varieties.
lincludedthetheroadwayslopesandadded1^S%forbestmeasure. ldidn'tincludethepastureworkthatwetalked
about. I think this will only confuse things. We established that pasture grading falls under agriculture practice.
The seed rate is about double normal to accommodate for broadcast seeding application. I will put seed down this
spring and again this fall if necessary. Please reach out to me for any changes ideas etc.
I also will continue weed monitoring and treatment in the spring and fall seasons.
Let me know of any concerns and or ideas you may have.

RE: Grand Hogback Ranches
Roger,
I have reviewed the access road for the proposed Grand Hogback Ranches, and I am ok with the proposed access
alignment and county road entrances (intersections as shown) for the lots. The only thing that I am unclear of is the
entire proposed access road covered with all weather driving surface at this time. I think that only parts of it are
covered from my site visit. I will need to come and inspect the road when it is complete covered with all weather driving
surface, (road base or crushed asphalt) . As far as your access permit I am ok with the issuance of the access permit
from the county.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
ThankYou,

Glenn,
I stopped by and checked the driveway for Dow's access on the county port¡on of CR 335 by New Castle. Dow did an
excellent job, and I have no issues with this driveway.
Let this email stand as approval from Road and Bridge for Dow's work'
Thanks
