Re: Hydrology and Mudflow Considerations for 993 Moore Drive
Dear Simon:
Wright Water Engineers, Inc. (WWE) has prepared this letter to present results of a mudflow
assessment for the 993 Moore Drive property in the Five Trees area of Aspen, Colorado. Figure 1
is a location and vicinity map. Based on our field observations and review of geologic mapping, it
does not appear that this property has a high risk of mud and debris flow. The property does not
lie on an alluvial fan, and the slopes above the property appear to be well vegetated and stable. As
a result, we have not performed detailed mudflood and mudflow modeling of this site. Instead, we
have used an approach that estimates potential runoff and sediment flow rates using the Rational
Method along with sediment bulking factors, as described below.
The following sections provide a summary of the geology and soils in the area, including
hydrology developed by Woody Creek Engineering (WCE) and recommendations for hydrologic
design criteria to apply to 993 Moore Drive. The purpose of this letter is to satisfy requirements of
the City of Aspen Urban Runoff Management Plan (URMP). The proposed Project is in the
Highlands/Five Trees Mudflow Zone as shown in Figure 2 – Mudflow Zones, with slopes greater
that 30%. The primary potential source of sediment in runoff is erosion from the steep slopes above
the project site. Based on current conditions, the slopes are vegetated and do not show signs of
excessive erosion. In the future, however, there could be greater potential for erosion if vegetation
were impacted by fire and/or pine beetles. The bulking factors, recommended below, are intended
to account for potential greater erosion in the future.
993 Moore Drive Geology
Bryant (1971) mapped the surficial deposits (Qmb) in the area. This mapping is presented in Figure
3 – Geological Map. The surficial deposits within the drainage area were mapped as poorly sorted
marine deposits ranging from silt to boulders. The geology commonly contains boulders derived
from valley heads but may also be composed of relatively angular boulders locally derived. In
many places the geology has hummocky or ridge-and-trough topography. The geology is locally
indistinguishable from landslides containing morainal material or from colluvium developed on
Precambrian rocks. The geologic hazard map by Bryant (1972) does not note any geological
hazards within the drainage area. See Figure 4 – Geological Hazards Map for additional
information.

Major soil groups associated with 993 Moore Drive drainage area are shown on Figure 5 – Soils
Map (NRCS Web Soil Survey). The predominant soil group for the drainage area is identified as
Map Unit 14, which is classified as Callings-Yeljack complex, 25 to 65 percent slopes. The Web
Soil Survey classifies this complex as Hydrologic Soil Group C with very high runoff potential.
The erosion potential for these soils is high given the steep slopes.
Runoff Analysis
WCE performed runoff calculation for the site using the Rational Method and calculated peak
runoff rates for the 5- and 100-year events. WCE identified offsite drainage basins with a total size
of 10 acres. The drainage basins consist of 20% to 40% slopes covered with large evergreens on
the upper areas and smaller shrubs and grasses on the lower. The basins drain to the east
with Castle Creek being the receiving waters. WWE recommends applying a 20% bulking
factor to the peak rates calculated by WCE to account for sediment. This is consistent with the
approach used for the Red Butte area in the recently completed Aspen Mud and Debris Flow
Study (WWE 2017). Table 1 summarizes peak flow rates calculated by WCE for offsite basins,
recommended bulking factors, and resulting bulked flows.

Conclusion
Based on WWE’s analysis, there is not a significant mud and debris flow risk for the property
located at 993 Moore Drive. The watershed above the site has steep slopes but is well vegetated.
Geologic hazard mapping for the area does not indicate the presence of an alluvial fan or other
types of geology characteristic of mud and debris flows. Given these factors, WWE analyzed this
site using the Rational Method and bulking factors to account for potentially elevated sediment
loads in the future if the vegetative cover were to be diminished. WWE recommends that peak
flow rates for all off-site, upgradient runoff be bulked by a 20 percent factor to account for

sediment. The design of conveyances should use the bulked flows and should provide freeboard
above the water surface elevation that is calculated based on the bulked peak flow rates. In
addition, the use of inlets and pipe conveyances for routing of off-site flows should be avoided due
to the high potential for clogging.
WWE appreciates the opportunity to conduct this analysis of potential mud and debris flow
hazards. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the analysis described in
this letter.
Sincerely,
