Rocky Mountain National Park MPS Historic Park Landscapes in National and State Parks MPS____________________ DESCRIPTION Location: The Ypsilon Lake Trail is on the east side of Rocky Mountain National Park. The trail begins 1.5 miles up the Lawn Lake Trail. At this 9200-foot junction, the Ypsilon Lake Trail branches to the west, crossing the Roaring River on a 50-foot log stringer bridge. For almost its entire length, the trail steadily climbs in a northwest direction up a large blunt ridge spreading out below Mount Chaquita and Ypsilon Mountain. Setting: After departing from the Roaring River, the Ypsilon Lake Trail remains mostly in lodgpole pine forest. About one half-mile before reaching its destination, the trail passes Chipmunk Lake, a small rocky pond bounded with spruces. Ypsilon Lake itself hugs the lower flanks of mountains over 13,000 feet tall. Built:

Because of the population’s small size (N < 100) there is concern that it may suffer from reduced genetic variation and inbreeding, which could reduce the probability of the herd’s persistence and its ability to adapt to future environmental change (e.g., disease challenges, parasites or other environmental stresses). This population has suffered disease-related die-offs in the past and could become increasingly susceptible to parasites if it suffers loss of genetic variation. Our recent study suggested that individual Mummy Range sheep with reduced genetic variation might have increased susceptibility to lung worm parasites (Luikart et al. 2008); however the study included only 30 individuals sampled in only one year (2005). Fortunately, the increasing availability of hypervariable DNA markers (microsatellites; Maudet et al. 2004) make it feasible to determine if a population has recently suffered a genetic bottleneck and inbreeding.

  • Relationship Between Sediment Supply and Sediment Transport for the Roaring River, Colorado, USA

    Relationship Between Sediment Supply and Sediment Transport for the Roaring River, Colorado, USA

    Relationship between sediment supply and sediment transport for the Roaring River, Colorado, USA J.C. BATHURST NERC Water Resource Systems Research Unit, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK G.J.L, LEEKS & M.D. NEWSON Institute of Hydrology, Staylittle, Powys, UK ABSTRACT A 1-km long gorge, cut into a glacial moraine by a dambreak flood wave, has provided the setting for a study of the relationship between supply of sediment from the gorge cliffs and the sediment transport along the Roaring River. Measurements during two snowmelt seasons have indicated two major supply systems. The initial snowmelt flows, peaking at about 5 m s~1 in May-June, carry relatively large bed and suspended loads, composed of material supplied to the channel bed and margins by winter erosion processes. Rapid depletion of these supplies, though, means that the sediment loads of later flows are reduced by an order of magnitude. This trend may be reversed in July and August when heavy rainstorms can dramatically increase cliff erosion and thence sediment transport. Relatively high transport rates may then persist for several days. External supply of sediment can thus cause two orders of magnitude variation in sediment transport for a given flow discharge. A full understanding of the relationship between supply and transport is obtained only by considering events in chronological order. INTRCDUCTION Until recently, studies of fluvial sediment transport processes have concentrated on lowland rather than mountain rivers. However, development pressures throughout the world's mountain areas are increasingly altering the naturally sensitive balance between sediment supply and transport at the upper ends of river systems (e.g.

    30Th Anniversary of the Lawn Lake Dam Failure: a Look Back at the State and Federal Response July 27, 2012 Mark E

    30th Anniversary of the Lawn Lake Dam Failure: A Look Back at the State and Federal Response July 27, 2012 Mark E. Baker, P.E. National Park Service, Denver, CO Bill McCormick, P.E., P.G., Colorado Division of Water Resources, Salida, CO ABSTRACT On July 15, 1982, deep in Rocky Mountain National Park, the 26-foot high Lawn Lake Dam failed. The resulting flood charged down a mountain carving deep ravines and depositing huge fields of rock. It also wiped out campsites, tragically killing 3 people. The flood inundated businesses in the town of Estes Park and caused $31 million in damages. This paper describes how the State of Colorado (State) and Federal agencies responded to the event. The many impacts of this dam failure are explored so that the dam safety community can be better prepared to handle the myriad of issues associated with dam failures efficiently. The paper reviews the State’s response including communications immediately following the failure and the details of conducting a dam failure investigation, including the forensic analysis to determine likely failure mechanisms. Changes to the State dam safety program as a result of the failure are described. The effects of the failure on the NPS dam safety program, including the decision to remove other dams within Rocky Mountain National Park are also explored. The role of FEMA in coordinating post- failure research studies conducted by Federal agencies, including the USGS, USBR, and the NPS are also discussed. Finally, the paper describes the types of legal investigations conducted and lawsuits filed following the failure.
