Oscar W. Tollefson, who had almost graduated from the Univ. of Colorado (Ph D in geology), found himself sitting next to Colorado State College (CSC) President Bill Ross on a commercial flight between Washington, D.C. and Denver. Tolley, as he was universally known in professional circles, was the loquacious sort and so of course he struck up a conversation with a guy who, it turns out, was an amateur rock , fossil, and mineral collector. Bill Ross came from a background in buildings and grounds and knew a lot about earth materials and weather! Though we don’t know exactly what was said in that four hours, we do know that Bill Ross recognized a rare enthusiasm for teaching and learning in the young Tolley. Ross also probably recognized that Tolley’s persuasiveness and persistence would go a long way at the growing College. The Earth Sciences academic program was founded at Colorado State College (CSC) in 1956 by Dr.

  • 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.

Fields of flowers, baby animals, twittering birds? How about white mountains and snowfalls measured in feet? Springtime in Rocky Mountain National Park is all of these and more. Actually, springtime in Rocky can feel like any season of the year: sunny, snowy, rainy, windy, warm, and cold. Spring days can be gorgeous with crystal blue skies and bright sunshine that pours down over the mountains. But traditionally, some of the park’s biggest snowfalls occur in March and April. Snow into early June up on the mountaintops is not uncommon. Trail Ridge Road is scheduled to open for the season on May 22 this year, but its opening is always weather-dependent and it stays open as long as weather and road conditions permit. Spring snows are usually quite wet, which is great for forest fire prevention but not always great for activities like snowshoeing, Dream Lake in springtime NPS/John Marino backcountry skiing, and early season hiking.

  • Thesis Assessing Vegetation
    THESIS ASSESSING VEGETATION REESTABLISHMENT ON DISTURBED HIGH MOUNTAIN LAKESHORES FOLLOWING HISTORIC DAM REMOVAL IN ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, COLORADO, USA Submitted by Amy C. Goodrich Department of Forest and Rangeland Stewardship In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Mark Paschke Co-advisor: Paul Meiman David A. Steingraeber Jayne Jonas-Bratten Copyright by Amy C. Goodrich 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT ASSESSING VEGETATION REESTABLISHMENT ON DISTURBED HIGH MOUNTAIN LAKESHORES FOLLOWING HISTORIC DAM REMOVAL IN ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, COLORADO, USA Dam removal has entered the public spotlight in recent years, due to growing safety, economic, and environmental concerns related to dams. Removal is increasingly seen as a way to address not only the risks associated with aging and/or obsolete dams, but also as a tool for ecological restoration. In 1982, then-79-year-old Lawn Lake Dam in Rocky Mountain National Park failed, resulting in three deaths, and extensive monetary damages and destruction of natural resources within the Park. This was followed by a policy decision to remove three dams in the Park between 1988 and 1990, returning the former reservoirs to their previous natural lake water levels, and re-exposing nearly 13 hectares of scoured shoreline, completely denuded of vegetation by approximately 80 years of inundation. The disturbed lakeshore areas were left to undergo passive restoration. In the years immediately following dam removal, one short-term (3 year) revegetation study was conducted at Lawn Lake, and informal observational data were gathered by NPS personnel at a handful of plots established at the disturbed lakeshores of Bluebird, Sandbeach, and Pear Lakes.
