This assignment adoption is by the Commission. The Commission is promulgating rules in response to requests received from local governments and CDOT related to the Schedule. 1.3 Category FR - Frontage Roads Section Two of the Schedule contains the category assignments for all sections of highways specifically assigned by the Commission.

These data were obtained as part of a U.S. Geological Survey program of mineral resource evaluation of the St. Louis Peak and Williams Fork Wilderness Study Areas. The data supplement those of the Department of Defense files for the areas. This report presents the principal facts for this data, and includes a station location map (Appendix 2). Data Collection The gravity observations were made using two LaCoste-Romberg gravity meters, G-551 and G-24. The gravity data were referenced to the Department of Defense (DOD) base ACIC 0555-3 at Kremmling, Colorado (Appendix 1), which is part of the International Gravity Standardization Net (IGSN) 1971, established by the Defense Mapping Agency Aerospace Center (1974).

  • COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail
    CONTINENTAL DIVIDE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL DAY & OVERNIGHT HIKES: COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail THE CENTENNIAL STATE The Colorado Rockies are the quintessential CDT experience! The CDT traverses 800 miles of these majestic and challenging peaks dotted with abandoned homesteads and ghost towns, and crosses the ancestral lands of the Ute, Eastern Shoshone, and Cheyenne peoples. The CDT winds through some of Colorado’s most incredible landscapes: the spectacular alpine tundra of the South San Juan, Weminuche, and La Garita Wildernesses where the CDT remains at or above 11,000 feet for nearly 70 miles; remnants of the late 1800’s ghost town of Hancock that served the Alpine Tunnel; the awe-inspiring Collegiate Peaks near Leadville, the highest incorporated city in America; geologic oddities like The Window, Knife Edge, and Devil’s Thumb; the towering 14,270 foot Grays Peak – the highest point on the CDT; Rocky Mountain National Park with its rugged snow-capped skyline; the remote Never Summer Wilderness; and the broad valleys and numerous glacial lakes and cirques of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. You might also encounter moose, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, marmots, and pika on the CDT in Colorado. In this guide, you’ll find Colorado’s best day and overnight hikes on the CDT, organized south to north. ELEVATION: The average elevation of the CDT in Colorado is 10,978 ft, and all of the hikes listed in this guide begin at elevations above 8,000 ft. Remember to bring plenty of water, sun protection, and extra food, and know that a hike at elevation will likely be more challenging than the same distance hike at sea level.

In the past, we have produced this article in the spring, leaving a gaps with no information from the late spring and summer seasons. TAR is now publishing this roundup in the fall issue, in hopes of providing a more complete summary of avalanche center information. There are two additional Avalanche Centers in the NAC network: UAC/Bear River Avalanche Center-Logan and the Tahoe National Forest Avalanche Center. Their season summaries were unavailable at press time. Forest Service National Avalanche Center Those of us in the FS National Avalanche Center like to think of ourselves as the little center with the big name. The NAC has two employees, Karl Birkeland in Bozeman, Montana and Doug Abromeit in Ketchum, Idaho. The NAC, among other things, provides program guidance and support to local FS avalanche centers, facilitates technology transfer to FS field units, coordinates the FS national avalanche awareness program and manages the FS military artillery program. The past year was a good one. The NAC started the season by hosting the annual fall meeting for US avalanche centers. We held the meeting in Snowbasin, Utah and devoted one day to the nuts and bolts business of running an avalanche center and a second day to cutting edge avalanche technology including several excellent scientific presentations.

  • MP 245 – 246: Floral Park
    MP 245 – 246: Floral Park The mile between mileage post 250 and 251 may be one of the best example of how complicated the “widening project” for U. S. Highway 40 was in terms of environmental issues and requirements by both the State and Federal government. To meet these requirements: a stream was moved and a wildlife crossing was added along with a new “wetland”. This mile also includes the location of an old campground, a ski run, and where U. S. Highway 40 crosses over the wagon road. Route Mile Marker X Y Longitude Latitude 1U. S.

Copyright © 2006 Colorado State University Colorado Natural Heritage Program All Rights Reserved EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The primary objective of the Clean Water Act is to "maintain and restore the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters," which includes wetlands. In order to make informed management decisions aimed at minimizing loss or protecting wetland acreage and function, credible data on the integrity of Colorado’s wetlands need to be collected (U.S. EPA 2002a). An index of biotic integrity is a cost-effective and direct way to evaluate the biotic integrityof a wetland by measuring attributes of the biological community known to respond to human disturbance.
