A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF $78,000 FROM
SUBJECT:
PROJECT SW1599-PROJECTS TO BE DETERMINED TO SW1003-
FOUNTAIN CREEK WATER QUALITY PROJECT
SUMMARY:
Attached is a Resolution approving the transfer of $78,000 into the Fountain Creek
Water Quality Project.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
:
None
BACKGROUND
:
These funds are for the Fountain Creek Sediment Collector demonstration project that
is intended to illustrate a new technology to remove stream bedload material from the
waterway in lieu of the conventional method of dredging. The collector is currently
installed on the Fountain Creek approximately 0.43 miles upstream of the confluence
with the Arkansas River. The intent of the project is to ultimately lower the streambed in
the area of the collector, to create or restore additional channel freeboard, restore
channel capacity, and in the long-term, reduce flooding. The sediment collector
captures the bedload material, then pumps a slurry to a separator where the fine sands
and gravel drop out and are deposited on a conveyor/stacker and stockpiled on site out
of the flood plain.
This will provide a diversion dike and remove sediment just upstream allowing access to
the collector for the purpose of clearing the sediment that has settled on top. Once the
collector is cleared the removal of the dike will begin so the collector can be started and
analyzed to the effectiveness of its operation.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
:
Funds in the amount of $78,000 shall be transferred into SW1003-Fountain Creek
Water Quality from SW1599-Projects to be Determined.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS
:
None
ALTERNATIVES
:
The sediment collector is within a portion of the flowing stream area and to gain access
to the collector the stream will need to be diverted around. This alternative would not
allow the dike to be temporarily installed to gain the access for the purpose of analyzing
the effectiveness of the sediment collector.
RECOMMENDATION
:
Approval of the Resolution.
