RE: The Rapids Floodplain Special Use Permit
Dear Eric:
Enclosed is a revised Preliminary Plan (dated 9/23/96) for The Rapids on The Colorado
Subdivision showing contours for the proposed Foodplain fill material for this project. This
information is in response to your request for additional information outlined in your letter that
I received on September 20th. The fill is to be placed at an elevation that is at or above'the
100-Year flood elevation. - The elevation of the fill is summarized on a lot -by -lot basis in the
enclosed table. The fill is to be placed by the project construction contractor at the time of
construction of the subdivision improvements. The fill material will probably be placed by
scrapers; this will be at the discretion of the construction contractor. The fill will be wheel -
roll compacted to a density at least 85 % of the maximum Standard Proctor density -of the soil.
Topsoil will be stripped and re -placed on top of all disturbed areas. Borrow material will be
from Lots 25, 26, 31 and 33 on the property and from the Homeowner's Association parcels,
including excavation from the proposed pond. The net quantity of fill material is estimated to
be 50,000 cubic yards of soil.
Regarding downstream effects of the proposed fill material, there are none. As stated in my
previous correspondence dated September 17th, the proposed fill is to be placed within the
Flood Fringe of the 100 Year Floodplain, which means that the fill material will not cause an
obstruction to the flow, will not adversely affect the efficiency of the flow, will not restrict the
flow capacity of the floodplain and will not cause foreseeable damage to others. One of the
primary purposes of a Flood Insurance Study is to define the Flood Fringe, which is the
portion of the 100-Year Floodplain which may be filled in without causing adverse flood
impacts. The Flood Fringe is defined through a HEC-2.analysis whereby encroachments are
modeled into the Foodplain within the HEC-2 computer analysis to determine if any impacts
occur. Since this HEC-2 analysis has already been performed and the Flood Fringe has
already been defined. I will use the HEC-2 analysis from the Flood Insurance Study.
The proposed placement of fill material complies with Section 404 of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act Amendments. A 404 Permit is not required because none of the

proposed fill material is to be placed within the ordinary high water mark of the Colorado
River or in any wetlands.
Also enclosed is my previous letter regarding the floodplain special use permit application for
The Rapids with my Professional Engineer's stamp as you requested. The table with the
floodpiain and -building elevations attached to this letter hk been revised to show the correct
elevations; thel previous elevations were off by 100 feet in elevation.
Please give the a call if you have any questions in this regard.

RE: Floodplain Special Use:Permit Application
The Rapids on The Colorado Subdivision
Dear Board Members:
This letter is to revise Gene R. Hilton's previous Special Use Permit application to allow
development within the Floodplain of the Colorado River for The Rapids on The Colorado
Subdivision. Mr. Milton's previous request was outlined in his letter dated May 21, 1996 and in
the Preliminary Plan- submittal documents for The Rapids Subdivision. This Special Use Permit
application is hereby revised to require the applicant and developer (Mr. Hilton) to place fill
material within the. Flood Fringe area as necessary to elevate all of the building envelopes within
The Rapids Subdivision above the level of the 100-year Foodplain. The extent of the proposed
fill material and the location of the proposed building envelopes is shown on the revised
Preliminary Plan for The Rapids on The Colorado Subdivision, dated 9/16/96.
Since the placement of the fill material will effectively remove the building envelopes from the
100-year floodplain; the following Conditions of Approval previously recommended for The
Rapids Subdivision should not be necessary:
"Site specific, engineered building foundations- and individual sewage disposal
system designs shall be subject to individual Floodplain Special Use Permit
applications and approval, prior to the issuance of a building -permit for any
construction identified -within the 100-year tloodplains of the Colorado River
and/or Garfield Creek."
"Prior to Final Plat, the developer's engineer shall submit site specific engineered
plans for residential development within the flood fringe of the Colorado River and
Garfield Creek. Furthermore, all development in these areas shall be consistent
with these plans and shall be required to furnish as -built, elevation certificates
demonstrating that all construction meets the provisions of Section 6.09 of the
Garfield County Zoning Resolution of 1978. as amended, prior to the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy by the Garfield County Building Department."
The proposed fill is to be placed within the Flood Fringe of the 100-Year Floodplain. which
means (by definition of the Flood Fringe) that the fill material will not restrict the flow capacity
of the river and will have no significant adverse impacts on the remainder of the toodplain.

Placement of the fill in the Flood Fringe will result in no significant increase in the flood water
elevations or in the flood flow velocities in the vicinity of The Rapids Subdivision. Therefore.
placement of the fill in the Flood Fringe will result in no additional flood hazard or erosion to
adjacent properties.
The following conditions of approval for the Special Use Permit are recommended for Lots 1-20
of The Rapids Subdivision to. avoid the removal of fill material or building construction by
-individual lot owners that may result in a flood hazard:
1. The lowest floor, including basement, of any new. building designed for residential
occupancy shall not be less than one (1) foot above the maximum water elevation of the
100-year flood as determined by the Garfield County Flood Insurance Study.
2. On -site individual sewage disposal systems shall be located so as to avoid impairment of
them or contamination from them during a 100-year flood.
3. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the owner of each lot shall prepare and submit a
soil and foundation report, an ISDS design, and a grading and drainage plan prepared and
certified by a professional engineer. All improvements shall be constructed in accordance
with such measures, which shall be a condition of the building permit.
Item number 3 above has also been recommended by the Planning Staff and by the Planning
Commission for The Rapids Subdivision. A list of the 100-year flood elevations and minimum
building elevations for Lots 1-20 is enclosed.

RE: The Rapids
Dear Gene:
This letter is to provide certification for the placement of fill material in accordance with the
Garfield County Floodplain Special Use Permit for the Rapids on the Colorado Subdivision
(Resolution 97-26; copy enclosed). I, Peter Belau, a Colorado registered Professional
Engineer, hereby certify the following:
The "as -built" elevation of the fill placed on Lots 1'1 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
16, 17. and 18 of the Rapids on the Colorado Subdivision is above the elevation of the
100-year flood, effectively removing the building envelopes on these lots from the
100-year floodplain of the Colorado River.
2. The fill material was placed in accordance with the engineering specifications for this
type of floodplain development, including the compaction of the fill material.
Please note that the Special Use Permit has a number of additional requirements, including that
the lowest floor, including basement, of any residence must be at least 1 foot above the
100-year flood elevation.
Sincerely,
ENARTECII, INC.

Dear Gene:
MOUNTAIN CROSS
ENGINEERING; INC.
CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING AND DESIGN
I have reviewed the- letter provided by Peter Belau of Enartech, Inc. dated December 30, 1998
concerning the placement of fill material for the 100-year floodplain of the Colorado. River.
The elevation of the fill material will not be modified for the proposed grading of the Planned
Unit'Development (PUD). Additionally, the building envelopes.of the proposed PUD lots have
been setback even further from the 100-year floodplain than the previous -
.lots -
The December 30, 1998 elevation certificate is valid for the proposed PUD. Feel free to call
with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Mountain Cross Engineering, Inc.
