Maintenance
The Maintenance Work Plan is developed for each county and for the
South Platte River based on a prioritized list of drainageway maintenance
requests from each local government in that county where the drainageway
is the responsibility of the local government. Maintenance work is divided
into two types of activities, routine and restoration. These activities are
described in greater detail below
Routine maintenance consists of limited mowing of native vegetation, trash
and debris cleanup, trash rack cleaning, control of weeds and noxious
vegetation, tree thinning, sediment removal, revegetation, and other minor
drainageway maintenance activities. Private contractors are hired each
year to perform the routine maintenance activities on a unit price basis.
Restoration work involves site specific construction activities intended to
rebuild and reestablish existing drainage facilities which have been
neglected or damaged such that structural problems have developed.
Examples include reconstructing or replacing grade control structures, box
culverts, retaining walls; establishing or repair of maintenance access; local
channel grading, stabilization, and revegetation. Private contractors are
hired to provide these services through a public selection process.
