RE: Smuggler-Hunter Master Plan Adoption
BACKGROUND:
A drainage master plan is a guidance document for long term planning of stormwater infrastructure.
Master planning efforts are meant to identify areas with potential drainage problems and provide
possible solutions. By addressing stormwater infrastructure design from a holistic large scale view,
master plans maximize efficiency and minimize community impact. Drainage master plans are used by
City of Aspen staff and citizens to make educated decisions regarding future development in the study
area.
During the creation of the City of Aspen Stormwater Program $350,000 was allocated for master
planning efforts. To date, these funds have been used for new floodplain maps and an update to the
Aspen Mountain Drainage Basin Master Plan (which was completed in 2006, prior to implementation
of the stormwater program). In 2012, this funding was tapped to create a master plan for the Smuggler
Hunter drainage basin, located on the north side of the Roaring Fork River between the Hunter Creek
and Northstar preserve. The exact study area boundary is shown in Attachment A. The Smuggler
Hunter drainage basin has very little regional drainage infrastructure but covers a large area with many
residential units, and therefore is a prime candidate for installation of a regional storm system to
minimize flood hazards.
DISCUSSION:
The goals of the Smuggler Hunter Master Plan, Attachment D, were to:
Identify potential flooding hazards.
Identify projects that improve public safety.
Identify areas and/or projects to improve stormwater quality.
Prioritize future projects using a cost benefit analysis.
Maximize efficiency through large scale long term planning.
The national engineering consulting company URS was hired for the Smuggler Hunter master planning
efforts. Using topographic, meteorological, and soils data; survey and site visits; and anecdotal
information from staff and the public, URS did a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the designated
study area. Existing streets, storm sewers, and detention facilities were analyzed for capacity. Rainfall,
P2

mudflow and snowmelt (see below) were assessed as potential hazards. Design storms were routed
through the study area with computer modeling classifying flood direction and depth. Problems
identified through modeling and public outreach were used to plan for regional stormwater
infrastructure.
Rainfall:
Apart from the short sections of pipe located in the Gibson Avenue Basin and Neale Avenue and OK
Flats Basin, most of the drainage areas evaluated do not have any piped storm systems. Instead,
stormwater and snowmelt runoff is conveyed by the streets, road side ditches and natural swales. Of
the evaluated storm sewer systems that do exist and were surveyed, most were estimated to be able to
convey the 5-year event or less. The City’s typical level of service has been the 10-year event.
Therefore, most of the existing system falls short.
Mudflow:
The current Urban Runoff Management Plan mudflow section shows the upper reaches of the study
area to be at risk of mudflow. This existing risk area was determined using a simple analysis based on
slope and proximity to steep slope. For this master plan, a more detailed analysis was performed.
FLO-2D modeling software was used to determine the level of risk the existing buildings face during a
mudflow event. There were only a few isolated areas that were flagged as mudflow hazard zones by
this more detailed mudflow analysis.
Snowmelt:
As most of regional precipitation comes in the form of snow, The City of Aspen saw it necessary to
evaluate snowmelt for flooding hazard. Peak flow snowmelt rates were substantially less than rainfall
peak flows for each snowmelt extreme temperature return period. By addressing drainage problems
identified for rainfall runoff, drainage issues associated with snowmelt runoff should be lessened.
Infrastructure:
Drainage infrastructure projects were designed to address problems identified by public outreach and
computer models. The proposed improvements were divided into 12 projects or individual storm
systems serving basically 12 different areas, totaling approximately $3 million in needed infrastructure
in 2013 dollars. Several criteria and weighting percentages were selected to prepare the preliminary
ranking of the suggested projects. The criteria included reducing flooding hazards to public and private
properties, improving public safety on major roadways and intersections, the opportunity to
incorporate water quality improvements, and the ability to implement the improvements within the
ROW (limited need for easements). The ranking and costs associated with each project are provided in
Attachment B. Attachment B also references a basin or project area. Pages 1-4 represent those project
areas and show the proposed infrastructure location and size and are included as Attachment C.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
This plan is intended for planning purposes and there are no financial implications or obligations for
the City by adopting this as a guidance document. Capital projects are being recommended by this
document, but the implementation of these projects will be decided in future discussions.
P3
I.
The detailed hydrology and hydraulic modeling included in this master plan can be made available to
the development community to assist with design of projects in the area, which should decrease the
costs associated with preparing those designs.
NEXT STEPS:
The City of Aspen Engineering staff recommends that the Smuggler-Hunter Master Plan be adopted as
an official document. Therefore, staff recommends presenting this document to Council and the
public as an agenda item during an April Council Meeting. Once the Master Plan has been adopted by
Council, staff will make the necessary updates to the Urban Runoff Management Plan and any other
guidance documents affected by this information.
In addition to the proposed capital project, the consulting team that completed this master plan
recommended that Aspen implement the following:
Several drywells in the drainage area are plugged and in need of maintenance in order to
properly function. Implement an inspection and maintenance program to improve the function
of existing systems in the area.
Continue implementing water quality treatment as much as practicable throughout Aspen in
accordance with the standards in Chapter 8 of the URMP.
Coordinate with Pitkin County and the Smuggler Mine to ensure that Smuggler Mountain Road
is maintained with positive drainage to the existing cross culverts.
Many basins in this Master Plan have significant area within Pitkin County’s jurisdiction.
Alternatives were proposed for those areas, but were not included in the conceptual design, per
Aspen’s direction. Coordinate future improvement projects with Pitkin County to leverage
funding and increase functionality by including the upstream areas.
Coordinate with existing and future land owners to align these proposed improvements with
future development such as the private property within the Hunter Creek basin where proposed
improvements will be tied to the single affected land parcel and will be the obligation of the
land owner.
Phase capital infrastructure projects to minimize flood hazards in the study area.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
April 2015 ES-i | List of Acronyms and Abbreviations
1 Executive Summary
The Smuggler/Hunter Surface Drainage Master Plan (Master Plan) is a planning study authorized
by the City of Aspen, Colorado, in an agreement with URS Corporation (URS) dated June 4,
2012. The study area, shown in Figure ES.1, lies to the east of the Roaring Fork River and
includes watershed area on Smuggler Mountain to the southeast of Hunter Creek. The study area
encompasses portions of the City of Aspen (Aspen) and unincorporated Pitkin County. The
sponsoring agency of this study is Aspen.
The objective of the planning study was to perform hydrologic, hydraulic, and mudflow
evaluations of the area shown on Figure ES.1 and to document the existing storm drainage
patterns, structures, and facilities throughout the Smuggler/Hunter area of Aspen. The results of
these evaluations were used to prepare recommendations for future improvements, conceptual
designs, and cost estimates that address water quantity, water quality, and mudflow issues.
The primary tasks of this project were to:
• Inventory the existing stormwater infrastructure and update the existing geographical
information system (GIS) data
• Develop and execute hydrologic and hydraulic models
• Identify problem areas
• Identify potential locations for stormwater quality facilities
• Evaluate potential debris and mudflow areas
• Identify mine water outflows and evaluate their impacts on the stormwater conveyance
system
• Evaluate and document the capacity of irrigation ditches and facilities
• Recommend capital improvement projects, provide conceptual designs and a capital plan
to reduce or eliminate drainage and flooding problems with available resources
• Develop a Master Plan focused on conveyance and water quality improvements, as well
as addressing mudflow potential
Generally, the overall objectives of implementing drainage and flood control alternatives in
Aspen are to:
1. Remove buildings from the 100-year floodplain and reduce flooding.
2. Improve public safety.
3. Improve stormwater quality.
4. Limit costs by reducing land acquisition needed for easements.
5. Leverage cost sharing opportunities.

STUDY AREA
Aspen lies within Pitkin County in Township 10 South, Range 85 West of the 6th Principal
Meridian. The selected study area (Study Area) within the corporate limits of Aspen mainly lies
in the valley and east bench of the Roaring Fork River that runs from the southeast to the
northwest along the base of the south side of Smuggler Mountain. The total study area is
approximately 0.5 square mile with elevations ranging from approximately 7,830 feet to 10,460
feet. Surface runoff from the majority of the Study Area flows through the developed areas of
Aspen on Smuggler Mountain before emptying into the Roaring Fork River. A small portion of
the Study Area contributes flow to Hunter Creek, which then empties into the Roaring Fork
River. The six major drainage basins and Study Area are shown on Figure ES.2.
MINE FLOWS AND IRRIGATION
With the presence of the Smuggler Mine, several historic mining shafts, and several irrigation
ditches in the Study Area; there is potential that stormwater flows and drainage patterns may be
impacted by these facilities.
While the Aspen Water Department monitors flow rate and depth in several ditches, including
mine flow locations, they do not monitor water quality as it is not required by the State of
Colorado. Therefore, the water quality of the mine flows is unknown. During the site
investigation for mine and irrigation flows on October 8, 2012, groundwater flows were
observed to be coming from three locations that were corroborated as mine flows by Aspen staff.
The three sites are shown in Figure ES.2.
The five ditches which flow through the Study Area are shown in Figure ES.2. Two of the
ditches are for irrigation while the other three are mine shaft outflows. Irrigation ditches are
typically designed along flat slopes and with only the capacity needed to convey the decreed
flow for the ditch with no capacity to accept stormwater flows; nor would such carrying capacity
be guaranteed, as most ditches are privately owned. Therefore, irrigation ditches were ignored
for the purposes of the stormwater rainfall-runoff analysis in this study, consistent with the
Colorado Water Conservation Board’s stormwater management policy, UDFCD’s drainage
policies, and the 1998 Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis for Aspen.
WATER QUALITY AREA ASSESSMENT
As part of the drainage capacity analysis, the URS team conducted field assessments of wetlands
and riparian areas and of potential water quality pond locations within the Smuggler/Hunter
study area. Understanding location and the existence of wetland and riparian areas is critical to
stormwater planning to account for the natural water quality treatment associated with such areas
as well as to avoid adversely impacting the areas with future planned facilities. Further,
understanding where future water quality facilities may be planned on publically-owned lands is
a first step to being able to viably include such facilities in a Master Plan, especially in a locale
such as Aspen, where land values are at a premium.
Identified wetlands and riparian areas and water quality pond locations were delineated in GIS
and are shown on Figure ES.2. Photos of the wetlands and riparian areas investigation are
included in Appendix A. Riverside areas with any existing wetland areas are located on the
P27
I.
ES-iv | Executive Summary April 2015
uppermost reaches of the Roaring Fork River and then the lowermost reaches within the study
area, including parts of Hunter Creek.
The field assessment of potential water quality pond locations was conducted with Aspen staff
on July 23, 2012. Six potential sites for the possible location of future water quality facilities
were identified, as follows: Aspen Art Museum Park, Herron Park, Garrison Park, Snyder Park,
the “pocket park” at the south end of North Spring Street, and an area along the roadway right-
of-way east of the intersection of Gibson Avenue and Red Mountain Road.
RAINFALL-RUNOFF ANALYSIS
Per Chapter 3 of Aspen’s URMP, the Rational Method, Colorado Urban Hydrograph Procedure
(CUHP), and EPA’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) are recommended for
watershed hydrologic modeling and runoff estimation. The Rational Method is a simplified
hydrologic method only developed for peak flow prediction in basins less than 90 acres. In this
study, runoff hydrographs were estimated using CUHP 2005 software, version 1.4.4, with
UDFCD’s recommended methodology for estimating rainfall infiltration losses, which is
Horton’s Method. The CUHP runoff hydrographs were routed using InfoSWMM, a highly-
developed, well-supported hydrologic/hydraulic modeling software that implements the EPA
SWMM analysis methods in a fully GIS-integrated environment and produces models and output
compatible with EPA SWMM 5.0. The recommended kinematic wave approach was used for
routing flows.
Soils data in the study area dictates the fraction of precipitation that ultimately becomes runoff.
As Aspen’s soil map provided in the URMP did not provide full coverage of the study area, the
Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) database for Pitkin County circa 2008 was used.
Land use data were applied to develop the hydrologic parameters required by CUHP, by
delineating the impervious percentages based on Aspen zoning, Pitkin County zoning,
designated open space, and parcel data, as well as site visits and aerial photography (2008)
provided by Aspen. The imperviousness parameters for each sub-basin were estimated as
composite values resulting from a weighted-area average computation using the recommended
parameter values.
Based on discussions with Aspen, the watersheds are built-out and will mostly experience in-fill
development in the future; therefore, no land use characteristics for future build-out conditions
were estimated.
Hydraulic analyses were conducted for the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year recurrence interval
flood events for each major basin shown in Figure ES.2. Open channels were analyzed using
InfoSWMM and Manning’s equation. Culverts were analyzed using InfoSWMM and
FlowMaster. Storm sewers were analyzed using InfoSWMM. Where the capacity of a surface
flow conduit (a street section, for example) was exceeded or where flows are conveyed in
unconfined surface flow paths, the need for floodplain modeling was assessed. For those ares
meeting the assessment criteria, floodplains were modeled using FlowMaster and HEC-RAS.
The hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for rainfall-runoff resulted in an assessment of system
capacity and identification of problem areas.

MUDFLOW ANALYSIS
Review of geologic and topographic conditions, records of the mud slide that occurred in May
2008, and site observation on October 9-10, 2012, identified three critical watersheds with
potential mudflow hazard. They are Hunter Creek Basin, Gibson Avenue Basin, and Neale
Avenue and OK Flats Basin in the Study Area.
The FLO-2D two-dimensional model was used to estimate the extent of the mudflow hazard
areas. The risk of mudflows and mud floods were accounted for by applying the bulking factors,
mudflow viscosity, and yield shear stress to the clear-water hydrographs. Four scenarios were
analyzed in this study. They are the mudflow events from the 2- and 10- year storm events, and
the mud flood events from the 50- and 100-year storm events. Figures ES.3 to ES.6 in show the
simulated maximum depth of mudflow for each modeling scenario. The delineated mudflow
areas agree in general with the observed mud slide event along Spruce St. in May 2008. In
addition, the yellow mudflow zones where the mudflow depth is greater than 2 ft on the 100-year
mudflow inundation map were delineated and are shown in Figure ES.7.
Due to the uncertainty of the data and the modeling assumptions, the computed mudflow depths
provided by the FLO-2D model should be considered as qualitative values rather than absolute
values.
SNOWMELT ANALYSIS
Aspen experiences sufficient snowfall throughout the fall, winter, and spring seasons to
accumulate a significant snow pack both in the urban parts of town as well as in the headwaters
of watersheds. Melting of this snow pack releases large volumes of water and is a stormwater
runoff condition that must be evaluated so the impacts to the drainage systems, roadways,
structures and facilities in the Study Area are understood and improvements can be
recommended if needed.
The EPA SWMM 5 model was used to compute snowmelt runoff from each sub-basin by using
the degree-day method approach which is included in the SWMM 5 model interface. Input data
for the snowmelt analysis includes time series data of air temperature, snowmelt coefficients, and
snow water equivalent snow pack for each sub-basin.
Peak flow snowmelt rates were substantially less than rainfall peak flows for each snowmelt
extreme temperature return period. Although peak snowmelt runoff is not a threat relative to
rainfall runoff values, snowmelt cumulative volume can pose a flooding threat in areas without
engineered drainage systems.

ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT
To manage stormwater runoff in the study area, alternatives for flood control were developed
conceptually so that feasibility and cost of flood control projects could be estimated and
compared. Generally, two basic strategies to mitigate flood hazards and improve water quality
aspects were investigated for each basin: 1) sub-regional detention and, 2) conveyance
improvements that include storm sewer improvements.
Basic flood control concepts considered for each basin are listed in Table ES.1. The
Conveyance alternative consists of releasing all stormwater runoff without any new detention.
This alternative would require that culverts and storm sewer outfalls in the study reaches be sized
to convey the estimated peak flows. Detention can be used to reduce stormwater flows from
upstream areas in the watersheds, and the Detention alternative examines this scenario for
potential detention sites in each watershed (if possible) where existing downstream infrastructure
does not have adequate capacity or to minimize proposed storm system costs downstream.
Table ES.1
Basic Flood Control Alternatives

Hunter Creek Basin X
Gibson Avenue Basin X X
Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basin X X
Riverside McSkimming Basin X X
Eastwood Basin X
Stillwater Bridge Basin X
In addition to the two design approaches, two additional scenarios were considered when
developing each alternative for each major basin: 1) the “With Easements” scenario that
minimizes storm sewer system costs by using the shortest feasible route and obtaining easements
to cross private lands and, 2) the “Minimal or Without Easements” scenario, which uses longer
storm sewer routes to minimize or eliminate private easements for each alternative to reduce cost
due to the expensive cost of land in the study area.
The objective of this alternatives evaluation was to identify cost effective measures to control
stormwater runoff from the study area watersheds such that: 1) runoff can be conveyed safely
within existing and proposed infrastructure, 2) the potential for damages to conveyances and
buildings within each watershed from the design flood is reduced, and 3) flood control measures
can be implemented effectively as development occurs and funding becomes available. After a
feasible alternative was identified, it was conceptually designed according to established project
criteria and modeled using InfoSWMM and other hydraulic software to confirm performance.
After hydraulic modeling confirmed performance, conceptual-level cost estimates were prepared
to assess and compare the cost effectiveness of each feasible alternative. This evaluation
P39

ES-xiv | Executive Summary April 2015
includes a listing of structural and conveyance improvements with the estimated total cost for
each, and considering the benefits for each alternative. The costs account for property
acquisition required for locating detention facilities and pipe alignments as well as estimating
costs to design and construct the project. Other continuing costs, such as operation and
maintenance, were not considered. The costs for the recommended alternatives in each basin are
summarized in Table ES.2.

MASTER PLAN
The selected alternatives for each basin were further evaluated based on cost and its effectiveness
in meeting project objectives using a ranking spreadsheet. Several criteria and weighting
percentages were selected to prepare the preliminary ranking of the suggested projects, and the
project ranking scores were calculated.
A stormwater infrastructure improvement plan, which would be implemented over a period of 10
years, is in Table ES.3. The proposed phasing is driven by project rank, sequence with related
projects, and by financing and cost sharing opportunities with Pitkin County, CDOT, or other
entities. Phasing is shown over only 10 years due to the relative average cost of the projects
related to Aspen’s existing budget priorities. The plan should be revisited every year as part of
Aspen’s budgeting process. As some of the projects include significant improvements outside
Aspen’s jurisdiction, the improvement plan separates costs and includes additional proposed
funding sources.
As part of master planning for urbanizing watersheds, it is generally recommended that Aspen
implement the following:
• Provide regular maintenance of existing dry wells in the study area by cleaning out any
accumulated silt that affects the infiltration rate of collected stormwater in each well.
• Provide regular maintenance to existing and proposed storm sewer networks to ensure
the conveyance capacity is not hindered during a major precipitation event.
P40
I.
April 2015 ES-xv | List of Acronyms and Abbreviations
Provide designated snow storage areas that do not block any storm sewer systems, and
that would not drain to private property.
Continue implementing water quality treatment as much as practicable throughout
Aspen in accordance with the standards in Chapter 8 of the URMP.
Coordinate with Pitkin County and the Smuggler Mine to ensure that Smuggler
Mountain Road is maintained with positive drainage to the existing cross culverts.
Many basins in this Master Plan have significant area within Pitkin County’s
jurisdiction. Alternatives were proposed for those areas, but were not included in the
conceptual design, per Aspen’s direction. Coordinate future improvement projects with
Pitkin County to leverage funding and increase functionality by including the upstream
areas.
Coordinate with existing and future land owners to align these proposed improvements
with future development such as the private property within the Hunter Creek basin
where proposed improvements will be tied to the single affected land parcel and will be
the obligation of the land owner.
This report covers the plan in detail, culminating with conceptual design plan and profiles sheets
in Appendix G. The plan described on these sheets is presented at a “conceptual” design level.
The final design of the Master Plan allows great flexibility to incorporate alternative concepts as
long as they maintain the hydraulic function described in this report.

INTRODUCTION
April 2015 1-1 | Introduction
1 Section 1 ONE Introduction
1.1 AUTHORIZATION
This Surface Drainage Master Plan (Master Plan) documents a planning study authorized by the
City of Aspen, Colorado, in an agreement with URS Corporation (URS) dated June 4, 2012. The
study area, shown in Figure 1.1, lies to the east of the Roaring Fork River and includes
watershed area on Smuggler Mountain to the southeast of Hunter Creek. The study area
encompasses portions of the City of Aspen (Aspen) and unincorporated Pitkin County. The
sponsoring agency of this study is Aspen. Project stakeholders include: Aspen, Pitkin County,
the Salvation Ditch Company, Smuggler Mine Company, and the citizens of Aspen.
1.2 PURPOSE & SCOPE
The objective of this project is to perform hydrologic, hydraulic, and mudflow evaluations of the
area shown on Figure 1.1 to document the existing storm drainage patterns, structures, and
facilities throughout the Smuggler/Hunter area of Aspen. The results of these analyses will be
used to prepare a new Master Plan that will provide recommendations for future improvements,
conceptual designs, and cost estimates that address water quantity, water quality, and mudflow
issues.
The primary tasks of this project are to:
• Inventory the existing stormwater infrastructure and update the existing geographical
information system (GIS) data
• Develop and execute hydrologic and hydraulic models
• Identify problem areas
• Identify potential locations for stormwater quality facilities
• Evaluate potential debris and mudflow areas
• Identify mine water outflows and evaluate their impacts on the stormwater conveyance
system
• Evaluate and document the capacity of irrigation ditches and facilities
• Recommend capital improvement projects, provide conceptual designs and a capital plan
to reduce or eliminate drainage and flooding problems with available resources
• Develop a Master Plan focused on conveyance and water quality improvements, as well
as addressing mudflow potential

1.3 MAPPING AND SURVEYS
Through the Aspen/Pitkin County GIS Department, Aspen provided three aerial images and
three topographic datasets in GIS format for use on this project. The aerial images were captured
in 2008 and 2010 by MapCON. The 10-foot contours were derived from aerial imagery captured
in 2003 by Sanborn, Inc. The 1- and 2-foot contours were derived from the 2008 aerial flyover.
The hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in this study are based on all of the contour
datasets, as they are generally limited in extent, along with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
mapping for the northeastern (headwaters) portions of some watersheds.
Several other reference datasets were provided by the Aspen/Pitkin County GIS Department for
use on the study as needed, including:
• Aspen Zoning • Curb and Gutter • Ditch
• Drives • Edge of Pavement • Flood Hazard Area
• Forest • Open Space • Open Space Easements
• Parcels • Parks • Pitkin Zoning
• Roads • Soils • StormWater_Line
• StormWater_Point • Structures • Towns
• Vegetation • Water
While Aspen provided the StormWater_Point and StormWater_Line datasets, additional
information on the storm drainage system was needed, specifically pipe sizes and inverts.
Drainage infrastructure including inlets, storm sewers, culverts, dry wells, and manholes, was
surveyed for the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis. Aspen’s GIS database was updated to
include the new survey information. The surveyed data will replace the older GIS data for the
Smuggler/Hunter area within Aspen’s database.
Available record drawings and drainage reports were obtained from Aspen in portable document
format (PDF).
Site visits were also conducted by the URS Team in July and October 2012 throughout the
Smuggler/Hunter area, and photographs were taken to document existing drainage structures,
vegetative cover, development status, mine flow locations, historic land/mud slide locations, and
other features. Photographs taken during the site visits are presented in Appendix A.

STORMWATER RUNOFF AND DRAINAGE FACILITY
CAPACITY ANALYSIS
April 2015 2-1 | Stormwater Runoff and Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis
2 Section 2 TWO Stormwat er Runoff and D rainage Facilit y C apacit y Analysis
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the analysis of rainfall-runoff and stormwater conveyance within the
Study Area for several storm event frequencies and the capacity of the existing stormwater
infrastructure to convey flows for those events to Hunter Creek and the Roaring Fork River.
Also described are the impacts and analysis of mine flows and irrigation and as well as a
qualitative assessment of the water quality (wetlands and riparian) areas within the Study Area.
2.2 STUDY AREA
Aspen lies within Pitkin County in Township 10 South, Range 85 West of the 6th Principal
Meridian. The selected study area (Study Area) within the corporate limits of Aspen mainly lies
in the valley and east bench of the Roaring Fork River that runs from the southeast to the
northwest along the base of the south side of Smuggler Mountain. The Study Area is roughly
bounded by Hunter Creek on the north, the Roaring Fork River to the west, the upland areas of
Smuggler Mountain to the east, and by the southern boundary of the Stillwater Bridge Basin
drainage area. The total study area is approximately 0.5 square mile with elevations ranging
from approximately 7,830 feet to 10,460 feet. Surface runoff from the majority of the Study
Area flows through the developed areas of Aspen on Smuggler Mountain before emptying into
the Roaring Fork River. A small portion of the Study Area contributes flow to Hunter Creek,
which then empties into the Roaring Fork River. The Roaring Fork River ultimately flows into
the Colorado River at the City of Glenwood Springs. The major drainage basins and Study Area
are shown on Figure 2.1.
2.3 MINE FLOWS AND IRRIGATION
With the presence of the Smuggler Mine, several historic mining shafts, and several irrigation
ditches in the Study Area; there is potential that stormwater flows and drainage patterns may be
impacted by these facilities.
The Smuggler Mine permit area occupies 9.7 acres of a 29.7 acre parcel on Smuggler Mountain
above the Study Area. The Smuggler Mine is a historic, underground mine that has been in
operation for approximately 133 years. The mine’s current operation is limited to a threshold
tonnage because it is a tourist mine. The Smuggler Mountain Superfund Site was created to
address excess levels of lead and zinc in the soil where mine spoils had been stored. Aspen
ordinance and permitting procedures address soil excavation and removal in these areas. While
the Aspen Water Department monitors flow rate and depth in several ditches, including mine
flow locations, they do not monitor water quality as it is not required by the State of Colorado.
Therefore, the water quality of the mine flows is unknown. The nearest publically available
water-quality data is downstream at the USGS gaging station Roaring Fork River near Aspen,
CO. (No. 09073400); which due to its location downstream, cannot be used to evaluate the
mine’s runoff water quality.

2-4 | Stormwater Runoff and Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis April 2015
During the site investigation for mine and irrigation flows on October 8, 2012, groundwater
flows were observed to be coming from three locations that were corroborated as mine flows by
Aspen staff. The three sites are described in Table 2.1 and shown in Figure 2.1.

Five ditches flow through the Study Area. These ditches were investigated in the field and
through the use of the Colorado Decision Support System (CDSS) (Reference 14) database
online. While the CDSS reported more than a dozen diversion structures in and above the Study
Area, only five have significance for stormwater. The five ditches are described in Table 2.2
and are shown in Figure 2.1.

Irrigation ditches are typically designed along flat slopes and with only the capacity needed to
convey the decreed flow for the ditch. There is generally no capacity available to accept
stormwater flows; nor would such carrying capacity be guaranteed, as most ditches are privately
owned. Therefore, irrigation ditches were ignored for the purposes of the stormwater rainfall-
runoff analysis in this study. This is consistent with the Colorado Water Conservation Board’s
(Reference 13) stormwater management policy, as well as UDFCD’s (Reference 55) drainage
policies. It is also consistent with the Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis WRC prepared in
P53

April 2015 2-5 | Stormwater Runoff and Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis
1998 (Reference 63) as the initial report for the Aspen Surface Drainage Master Plan (Reference
64), which ignored the diversion of the Summer Ditch.
2.4 WATER QUALITY AREA ASSESSMENT
As part of the drainage capacity analysis, the URS team conducted field assessments of wetlands
and riparian areas and of potential water quality pond locations within the Smuggler/Hunter
study area. Understanding location and the existence of wetland and riparian areas is critical to
stormwater planning to account for the natural water quality treatment associated with such areas
as well as to avoid adversely impacting the areas with future planned facilities. Further,
understanding where future water quality facilities may be planned on publically-owned lands is
a first step to being able to viably include such facilities in a Master Plan, especially in a locale
such as Aspen, where land values are at a premium.
Identified wetlands and riparian areas and water quality pond locations were delineated in GIS
and are shown on Figure 2.1. Photos of the wetlands and riparian areas investigation are
included in Appendix A.
Wetlands are defined by the USACE as areas having positive evidence of three environmental
parameters: hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Hydrophytic
vegetation includes any vascular plant that grows in water or on a substrate that is at least
periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content. Hydric Soils include
those soils saturated, flooded, or ponded for a sufficient duration during the growing season to
exhibit anaerobic indicators in the upper 12 inches. Wetland Hydrology encompasses all
hydrologic characteristics of areas inundated or saturated to the surface for at least 5 percent of
the growing season in consecutive days.
Riparian areas are considered to be those moderately moist, grassland or woody habitats located
adjacent to wetlands that form a transition between the wetland and upland areas.
The riverside areas with any existing wetland areas are located on the uppermost reaches of the
Roaring Fork River and then the lowermost reaches within the study area, including parts of
Hunter Creek. The upstream areas occur on the Roaring Fork River beginning upstream of the
Highway 82 bridge that crosses the river at Riverside Drive and continue downstream to just
above the headgate for the Riverside Ditch, which is located upstream of the Aspen Club.
Downstream, the only significant wetlands occur below the John Denver Sanctuary, with the
most obvious site being the ponded area near the Aspen Art Museum. While there are some
stretches in Aspen with a thin area of healthy riparian shrubs (for example, along the Glidden
Bridge on Neale Avenue), many others are essentially “armored” or all understory and/or
overstory riparian/wetland vegetation has been removed.
Hunter Creek has a fairly extensive native area near where the Salvation Ditch crosses, where
there is a riparian community that may have some wetlands associated with the drainage. There
is a another site west of Red Mountain Road, along Hunter Creek, which is equally close to the
Roaring Fork River and where Shady Lane wraps around it, that is a sunken native area with
riparian vegetation. This site may also have wetlands and is just upstream of the confluence of
Hunter Creek and the Roaring Fork River, yet appears isolated. There are “fringe” wetlands
along the Roaring Fork in this area as well, essentially across the river from the Jenny Adair site
beginning at the Mill Street Bridge and easily visible from the pedestrian trail.

2-6 | Stormwater Runoff and Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis April 2015
The field assessment of potential water quality pond locations was conducted with Aspen staff
on July 23, 2012. Six potential sites for the possible location of future water quality facilities
were identified. Four of these sites are in established city-owned parks: Aspen Art Museum
Park, Herron Park, Garrison Park, and Snyder Park. The fifth site is located in a “pocket park” at
the south end of North Spring Street, near the Roaring Fork River. The sixth site is located along
the roadway right-of-way, east of the intersection of Gibson Avenue and Red Mountain Road.
The wetland and riparian areas, along with the potential water quality sites, will be considered
when recommended improvements are evaluated later in this Master Plan.
2.5 HYDROLOGY
Per Chapter 3 of Aspen’s URMP (Reference 1), the Rational Method, Colorado Urban
Hydrograph Procedure (CUHP), and EPA’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) are
recommended for watershed hydrologic modeling and runoff estimation. The Rational Method
is a simplified hydrologic method only developed for peak flow prediction in basins less than 90
acres. It is not applicable for the larger basins and estimating runoff volumes for this study. The
CUHP 2005 software, version 1.4.4, developed by UDFCD (Reference 54) has the capacity to
simulate basin hydrographs and peak discharges for a large watershed and was used for this
study. CUHP 2005 can also estimate the hydrographs for small drainage areas, with
computational results comparable to the Rational Method. In this study, runoff hydrographs were
estimated using CUHP 2005 with UDFCD’s recommended methodology for estimating rainfall
infiltration losses, which is Horton’s Method.
EPA’s SWMM software version 5 (EPA SWMM 5.0) (Reference 51) is a computer program that
is used to generate surface runoff hydrographs from sub-catchments and then route and combine
these hydrographs. In this study, as runoff hydrographs were generated using CUHP 2005, only
the software’s ability to combine and route hydrographs was used. The CUHP runoff
hydrographs were routed using InfoSWMM (Reference 22), a highly-developed, well-supported
hydrologic/hydraulic modeling software that implements the EPA SWMM analysis methods in a
fully GIS -integrated environment and produces models and output compatible with EPA SWMM
5.0.
For stormwater planning studies using SWMM, the kinematic wave approach for routing flows is
generally recommended for use because it is a stable computational method that produces
consistent results across typical storm drainage systems without excessive input requirements. It
is the recommended method described in the UDSCM. Model components and selected
methodologies are listed in Table 2.3

2.5.1 CUHP Analysis
The CUHP 2005 software, version 1.4.4 was used for computing the storm runoff hydrograph for
each study drainage basin. The CUHP is a deterministic hydrologic procedure that calculates
rainfall losses due to soil infiltration, evaporation, and ground cover, and estimates runoff
hydrographs at the outfall of a drainage basin, based on a given rainfall distribution. Primary
inputs include rainfall depths, basin geometry characteristics, soil infiltration parameters, and
surface imperviousness. The hydrologic parameters determined for the existing conditions, and
the proposed conditions of drainage improvements were used as inputs in the CUHP 2005
models to compute the basin runoff hydrographs. Within the Study Area, six major drainage
basins were analyzed.
Sub-basin characteristics required for CUHP are drainage area, watercourse length and centroid
length, drainageway slope, percent imperviousness, soil infiltration rates, Horton’s decay
coefficients, and time of concentration (tc). Sub-basin geometry, slopes, and lengths were
measured from the best available data of 1-foot, 2-foot, and 10-foot contours, where available,
and the 7.5-minute USGS quadrangle maps in the upper elevations of the project area. Details
on the estimation process and assumptions associated with each sub-basin’s characteristics are
discussed in the subsequent sections. A summary of the CUHP input parameters used for each
sub-basin is included in Appendix B.
2.5.1.1 Design Rainfall
One-hour duration precipitation values were adopted for the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year
return periods from Chapter 2 of Aspen’s URMP (Reference 1), which reflect the revised rainfall
values published in NOAA Atlas 14, Volume 8 in 2013 (Reference 30). These 1-hour rainfall
depths are distributed to a 2-hour precipitation hyetograph within CUHP. Design rainfall depths
used in the hydrologic analysis for the project are listed in Table 2.4. The 2-hour rainfall
distributions are shown in Figure 2.2.

2.5.1.2 Sub-basin Delineations
Sub-basins for the CUHP analysis were delineated in an ArcMap® GIS environment based on
drainage divides estimated from the 1-, 2-, and 10-foot contour topography (2008) provided by
Aspen, and USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles for the upper areas of the major basins. Sub-basins
were further delineated based on the expected control of runoff by swales, structures, roadway
fills and cuts, and major drainage features such as storm sewers. The sub-basin boundaries and
stream network were refined using aerial photography, field survey (2012), and site visit data.
The Study Area of six major drainageway basins was divided into a total of 82 sub-basins. Sub-
basins in headwater areas, where land use and soils were generally homogeneous, were not
divided, with the largest area being 329 acres. Basin maps are provided on Figure 2.3.
2.5.1.3 Sub-basin Slope
CUHP requires input of watershed slope for each sub-basin. The full length of the flow path is
divided into separate reaches of uniform slope; then those slopes are averaged based on
incremental length to produce the length-weighted average that is input into CUHP. CUHP also
specifies that the maximum weighted slope cannot exceed six percent. Where slopes exceed six
percent; the weighted slope was adjusted using the slope correction process outlined in the
CUHP manual.
2.5.1.4 Soils and Geology
Soils data in the study area dictates the fraction of precipitation that ultimately becomes runoff.
As Aspen’s soil map provided in the URMP did not provide full coverage of the study area, the
Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) database for Pitkin County was obtained from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Geospatial Data Gateway website and used to delineate the areas of
soil groups within the study watersheds. Detailed SSURGO soil survey data circa 2008 were
used throughout the study area but supplemented with general SSURGO soil survey data in the

upper reaches where there was no detailed coverage. The compiled soil map for the Study Area
is shown on Figure 2.4. The soil parameters required by CUHP are initial infiltration rate, final
infiltration rate, and Horton’s decay coefficient. Hydrologic soil groups were used to identify the
soil parameters. According to the URMP and USDCM Volume 1 (References 1 and 55), the
values in Table 2.5 are recommended for CUHP. When a watershed has several different types
of soils, the representative infiltration rate is estimated as the area-weighted average value.
Initial and final (or fully saturated soil) infiltration rates are presented in Table 2.5 because
infiltration occurs along a decay function, with more infiltration at the beginning of a rainfall
event and less infiltration as the soil becomes saturated. The computed area-weighted soil
infiltration rates and decay coefficients for each sub-basin are included in the CUHP parameters
in Appendix B, along with the supporting digital GIS files.

Figure 2.5 shows the estimated initial, area-weighted soil infiltration rates for all major basins,
as estimated using the values for each soil group shown in Table 2.5 and indicates the Study
Area has a relatively high infiltration rate with low runoff characteristics.
2.5.1.5 Land Use and Surface Imperviousness
Watersheds are composed of pervious or impervious areas. As urbanization occurs, the amount
of impervious areas increase, decreasing the amount of precipitation that infiltrates and
increasing the amount that runs off. The overall imperviousness of the drainage basin is
calculated by dividing the impervious area in the drainage basin by the total area of the drainage
basin.
Land use data were applied to develop the hydrologic parameters required by CUHP. A land use
map, Figure 2.6, was prepared by delineating the impervious percentages based on Aspen
zoning, Pitkin County zoning, designated open space, and parcel data, as well as site visits and
aerial photography (2008) provided by Aspen. The imperviousness parameters for each sub-
basin were estimated as composite values resulting from a weighted-area average computation
using the recommended parameter values.
Based on discussions with Aspen, the watersheds are built-out and will mostly experience in-fill
development in the future; therefore, no land use characteristics for future build-out conditions
were estimated.

April 2015 2-19 | Stormwater Runoff and Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis
For the determination of imperviousness, the land uses and areas within each basin were
identified and the surface imperviousness percentages and depression losses were selected for
each type of land use by referring to the tables from the URMP and USDCM Volume 1
(References 1 and 55). For different classes of residential development, the suggested
imperviousness percentages were selected based on the residential categories compiled from the
Aspen’s and Pitkin County’s zoning plan. Table 2.6 lists the adopted imperviousness
parameters for each land use type, respectively. The computed area-weighted land use
parameters for each sub-basin as well as the GIS layers are included in Appendix B.

2.5.1.6 CUHP Results
The parameters described in the previous sections were estimated for each sub-basin then
inputted into CUHP to estimate the total peak outflow from each sub-basin. A summary of sub-
basin peak outflow rates is presented in Table 2.7. The sub-basin ID shown in Table 2.7, such

2.5.2 Hydrograph Routing
InfoSWMM, developed by Innovyze, Inc., was used for hydrologic routing within the watershed.
Within InfoSWMM, the sub-basins of each major basin are connected to nodes which represent
confluences of flow or flow regime changes. Each node is linked to conduits representing the
conveyance elements of the storm drainage system in the basin (overland flow paths, channels,
storm sewer pipes, and culverts) for hydrograph routing. Routing schematics of the connectivity
of the sub-basins, and routing elements are shown for each major basin on Figure 2.3. Each
major basin figure shows the InfoSWMM elements used to model the basin (conduits, junctions,
dividers, weirs, orifices, outlets, storage elements, and outfalls).
These elements used in the InfoSWMM model to represent the drainage networks in the Study
are generally described in Table 2.8 below, along with an example element ID. Every element
in the InfoSWMM model is labeled with an alpha-numeric identifier (Element ID) describing the
type of element and its location by sub-basin. For example, a divider element in sub-basin H01
of the Hunter Creek Basin would be labeled DXX-H01. The XX represents the number of the
element. Each type of element in each sub-basin is generally numbered upstream to
downstream, so lower numbers are in the upper parts of the basins.

April 2015 2-23 | Stormwater Runoff and Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis
Table 2.8
InfoSWMM Model Elements
Element Sample ID Description
Conduit C03-G06 Conduits model the flow path from node to node and take into account the
attenuation of flow over a specified length based on the roughness of the
travel path. They represent open channel flow (along roads, natural swales, or
unconfined overland flow paths), storm sewer systems, or culverts.
Overflow O03-G06 Overflows are associated with other elements to model flow that exceeds the
capacity of the element or “overflows” to a downstream location. Overflows
are most typically associated with underground conduits. See the Divider
description below.
Junction H03
or
J03-G06
Junctions are modeled nodes to where multiple conduits can converge and
inflow hydrographs are summed. Junctions labeled with a single alpha-
numeric ID are the locations where the CUHP hydrograph for a sub-basin is
entered into the InfoSWMM model. Junctions with a dual ID represent the
location where multiple conduits converge. There can only be one outflow
from a junction.
Divider D03-G02 Dividers are nodes that can have multiple inflows but two outflows. The
primary outflow is a pipe or culvert of interest. The primary pipe or storm
system carries the maximum flow allowable and the excess flow is conveyed
out of the divider as Overflow (usually in a road side ditch or curb and gutter)
to another specified downstream node to maintain continuity in the model.
Storage DW08-G03 –
Dry Well
P03-N16 –
Pond or
Underground
Storage
Storage elements represent areas that can store runoff and attenuate flow
depending on the designated outflow from the storage element. A detention
pond can be modeled with an outlet structure InfoSWMM element coupled
with a weir element to signifying overtopping of the pond. A retention pond
is modeled with no outlet element and only has a weir element which flows
when the storage element has reached capacity. Dry wells are differentiated
from other storage elements using the ID.
Weir WEIR01-N04 Weirs are used to model overtopping flows from storage elements. Weirs can
be the only outlet of a storage area or they can be coupled with an orifice
outlet structure element.
Outlets OLET-DW02-
N04
Outlets are outlet elements used to model the pipe or culvert outlet of a
storage element. A stage-discharge curve is developed for each unique
storage and outlet paring to signify the outflow through a pipe as head
increases in the storage element.
Outfall OFALL-1 Outfalls are nodes where all inflow in a basin model exits the model, usually
outside of the project area or to a major river or stream. In this study, these
are usually to the Roaring Fork River or to Hunter Creek.

2.5.2.1 Channel Routing
The Kinematic Wave routing method was selected for the channel routing component of the
InfoSWMM model, and is recommended by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) over
other methods for channels with geometry similar to the channels in Aspen (References 34 and
49). Geometric information for each of the conveyance elements, i.e., length, slope, Manning’s
roughness coefficient, and physical dimensions of each link, were entered into the InfoSWMM
model using GIS methods. Typical cross-sectional dimensions for natural channel reaches were
developed within the model using InfoSWMM’s Transect Extractor tool. This tool automatically
P73

takes a cross-section of a channel based on the topography supplied. Typical road cross-sections
for local and residential roads, each with a rural and urban option, were adopted from Aspen’s
Design Standards (Reference 10) and were manually entered within each major basin’s
InfoSWMM model.
The Manning’s roughness coefficient (n-value) for each channel reach was selected by
inspection of the 2010-aerial photography, land use, and field visits. Some portions of the Study
Area have been channelized in developments or along roads. Conveyance types and “n” values
for the study area are listed in Table 2.9.

2.5.2.2 Storage Routing
The numerous dry wells, private detention areas, and underground infiltration basins in the Study
Area were modeled as storage elements (detention or retention areas) based on the surveyed or
observed characteristics of each location. Stage-versus-storage relationships were developed for
each existing area from the best available topography, either the 1- or 2-foot contours. These
calculations are contained in Appendix B.
In the Study Area, multiple dry wells exist. Dry wells were modeled as described in Aspen’s
Design Standards (Reference 10) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
Designation C 444 – 03 for Perforated Concrete Pipe (Reference 2) with an assumed hydraulic
conductivity of three inches/hour and a constant one foot/foot hydraulic gradient. Each dry well
was assumed to be 6 feet in diameter with varied depths based on the 2012 survey data with no
initial water storage. Surveyed dry wells were found to be significantly silted in and depths
could only be measured to the observed bottom which was typically silt; therefore, the true depth
of each dry well is unknown. Perforations in each dry well were assumed to be in the bottom 3
feet of the surveyed depth with an impervious bottom. Overflow from each dry well was
assumed to act as a broad-crested weir with an estimated weir coefficient of 3. Information on
the surveyed dry wells has been incorporated into Aspen’s GIS database.
P74
I.
April 2015 2-25 | Stormwater Runoff and Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis
In addition to dry wells, two underground infiltration basins reside within the Study Area: one in
the Gibson Avenue Basin P01-G03) and the other in the Neale Avenue and OK Flats Basin (P03-
N16). Each of these storage areas were treated as retention elements as there is no evidence of
an outlet structure. The underground infiltration basin located in the Gibson Avenue Basin was
modeled with geometry specified by obtained as-built drawings. The modeled geometry for the
infiltration basin in the Neale Avenue and OK Flats Basin was estimated based on aerial
photography and topography. The entire bottom of each infiltration basin was assumed to be
pervious with a hydraulic conductivity of 3 inches/hour with impervious sides. Both infiltration
basins were assumed to have no outlet pipe and were modeled with weir overflows once storage
capacity was reached. Both retention elements were modeled with no initial water storage.
Multiple private detention ponds were entered into each model with stage-storage geometry
based on the best available topography of 1- or 2-foot contours. Several ponds were observed to
be full; therefore, initial water surface elevations were assumed to equal the crest of each pond,
which results in negligible attenuation at each storage element. Ponds were chosen to be
modeled based on their potential affects to stormwater runoff. If a pond was evident based on
GIS data or aerial photography and its size was thought to be large enough to attenuate
stormwater flow (by engineering judgment), the pond was modeled within InfoSWMM.
Otherwise, several private, aesthetic ponds were omitted from the analysis. Especially if the
pond was near the Roaring Fork River and was deemed a direct flow area.
Two retention areas (storage areas with no observed or surveyed outlet pipe), one located just
above the Riverside Ditch diversion in the Riverside McSkimming Basin (P01-R15) and the
other at the downstream end of the Smuggler Mine in the Neale Avenue and OK Flats Basin
(P02-N01), were modeled with no outlet pipes and were both shown to retain all contributing
flows up to the 100-year event.
There were no areas of standing water observed in study area, and therefore, groundwater was
not assumed to influence stormwater runoff characteristics.
All InfoSWMM storage element output, including peak flows and volumes, are in Appendix B.
All stage-storage calculations for each storage element modeled are in Appendix B.
2.6 HYDRAULICS
Hydraulic analyses were conducted for the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year recurrence interval
flood events for each major basin shown in Figure 2.1.
2.6.1 Modeling Criteria
Data for use in structure evaluations in the hydraulic analysis were selected on a structure-by-
structure basis. Where survey data was not found, field notes were referenced first, followed by
as-builts, then estimates based on aerial and topography. Hydraulic conveyance and
performance were evaluated within InfoSWMM and FlowMaster (Reference 6). Manning’s n
values were estimated based on aerial photography for each flow type.
All major outfalls for each InfoSWMM model either discharge into the Roaring Fork River or
Hunter Creek. The starting tailwater elevation for each model was assumed to be the 10-year
flood event water surface elevation estimated from the Flood Insurance Study for Pitkin County,
Colorado and Incorporated Areas, revised October 19, 2004 (Reference 16).

2-26 | Stormwater Runoff and Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis April 2015
2.6.2 Open Channels
Unless noted otherwise, open channels (natural and roadway) were analyzed using InfoSWMM
and Manning’s equation. If flooding occurred in an element during the 100-year event, or where
the depth of flow exceeded the typical channel cross-section, a Hydrologic Engineering Centers
River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) model or FLO-2D model was developed to depict the 100-
year flooding extents (see Section 2.6.4). Digital files for the HEC-RAS and FLO-2D models
are included in Appendix B.
2.6.3 Culverts
Cross culverts were analyzed using InfoSWMM. When the capacity of a culvert was not reached
during the 100-year event, FlowMaster (Reference 6) was used to calculate the culvert’s
capacity. Digital files for the Flowmaster and InfoSWMM calculations are included in
Appendix B.
2.6.4 Storm Sewers
The capacity of each storm sewer conduit element was taken as the conduit flow from which the
lowest return period causes overflow plus an additional 15 percent to account for the
uncertainties associated with hydrologic and hydraulic analysis. For example, if a 24-inch pipe
has a 5-year flow of 25 cfs and no overflow but in the 10-year event has a flow of 33 cfs and an
overflow of 2 cfs, the capacity of the pipe is assumed to be 33 cfs plus an additional 15 percent,
or approximately 38 cfs. If a pipe did not achieve a full flow condition during the 100-year
event, a FlowMaster analysis was conducted for each pipe section to determine the pipe’s
capacity. Digital files for the Flowmaster calculations are included in Appendix B.
2.6.5 Floodplain Modeling
Where the capacity of a surface flow conduit such as a channel or roadway was exceeded and
where flows are conveyed in unconfined surface flow paths, there is potential for flooding of
residences or other structures. The hydraulic function of these potential flooding paths (See
Figure 2.7) was evaluated using surface flow methods based on a set of flow and depth criteria
to see if HEC-RAS floodplain modeling would be needed. The evaluated reaches are listed
below in Table 2.10. The evaluation criteria to determine if surface flow analysis would be
needed are as follows:
1. Flows were greater than or equal to 10 cfs.
2. There is a known reported flood problem in the area.
3. Flow is immediately adjacent to an existing structure
4. The normal flow depth is greater than 6-inches.
If a reach satisfied any of the criteria, the reach was first modeled in FlowMaster to determine if
the 4th criterion was satisfied using the most upstream InfoSWMM node 100-year flow and
estimated cross-section. If the cross-section resulted in a flow depth less than 6-inchs, the reach
was not evaluated further in HEC-RAS and was deemed to be a low flood threat. Table 2.10
lists all the potential flow reaches analyzed, the associated 100-year flow rate, the flow depth (if
analyzed), and the conclusion for further analysis.

Based on the above criteria and the results stated in Table 2.10, six reaches required a HEC-RAS
analysis to map the 100-year floodplain extents. Each estimated floodplain was estimated using
the USACE’s HEC-RAS River Analysis System Model, version 4.1.0 (Reference 48), to perform
one-dimensional, steady-flow hydraulic calculations for each specified reach’s extents.
Geometric data for the HEC-RAS model were generated in an ArcMap® GIS environment using
the USACE’s HEC-GeoRAS extension to create a geospatially referenced hydraulic model. 1-ft
contours were used where available. 2-ft contours were used for areas where the 1-ft contours
did not extend. The 100-year channel top width water surface extents calculated in HEC-RAS
were then inputted back into GeoRAS and the floodplain was delineated using the water surface
extents as a guideline and manipulated using engineering judgment with the aid of contours,
aerials, determined curb/gutter sections, and flows around structures.
One reach in the Neale Avenue and OK Flats Basin has complex topography and a suspected
split flow along Park Circle. For this reach, FLO Engineering’s FLO-2D two-dimensional
hydraulic model, Version 98.1, was used (Reference 17). The base mapping from the mudflow
analysis, discussed in Section 3, was adopted to estimate flooding along Park Circle in the reach
from the Brown Lane and Park Circle intersection to the outfall to the Roaring Fork River past

East Francis Street, because of significant development in this area which divides the flow. All
resulting 100-year floodplain delineations for each major basin are shown in Figure 2.7.
It should be noted that these floodplain delineations are more representative of the extents of
surface flow than the conduits shown in Figure 2.7 as these flow paths include detailed
calculations taking into account the available contours whereas the conduits are merely a routing
mechanism to move flow around in the basin from one location to another.
2.7 DRAINAGE SYSTEM CAPACITY
Peak flows and corresponding hydraulic capacity for open channels, culverts, storm sewer
systems, dry wells, and detention and retention areas are summarized in Table 2.11 for each
node in each basin from upstream to downstream with associated downstream connected
conduits. Detailed results are discussed in the following paragraphs. Problem Areas, which are
areas with insufficient capacity or flooding issues, identified through the study or by citizens and
Aspen staff and the approximate 100-year floodplains generated by HEC-RAS and FLO-2D, are
shown on Figure 2.7.
2.7.1 Summary by Basin
The following subsections discuss the drainage system capacities for each major basin in detail.
For each major basin, refer to Figure 2.7 to see the locations of the capacity issues discussed
relative to each element ID in the model. Refer back to Section 2.5.2 for the general descriptions
of the types of elements used in the model.
Table 2.11 shows the tabulated results for each major basin by element, as well as the calculated
capacity issues from upstream to downstream in reference to each node along a flow reach. In
areas where there is a cross-culvert or a storm system, a divider node was used to estimate the
capacity of the pipe downstream. Any flow that is not conveyed in the downstream pipe is
labeled as “overflow” in Table 2.11 and carried downstream to the next node. Figure 2.7 shows
each major basin’s model layout and the stormwater problem areas tabulated in Table 2.11.

April 2015 2-43 | Stormwater Runoff and Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis
2.7.1.1 Hunter Creek Basin
Existing System Description: The Hunter Creek Basin has a total drainage area of
approximately 95.9 acres and is mostly developed with high density in the lower reaches
transitioning to low density residential property around Spruce Street. The upper headwaters
remained undeveloped and are designated open space.
Drainage Deficiencies: As the basin name indicates, most of the flow from the Hunter Creek
Basin flows through the residential area directly to Hunter Creek. There are known deficiencies
within the basin.
No storm conveyance system exists in the upper reaches of the basin so flow is primarily routed
along major streets and natural swales. A resident below the intersection of Spruce Street and
Spruce Court reportedly has had to sandbag during major storm events. Another property owner
to the south along Spruce Street reported flooding during a major storm event in 2006. The 100-
year floodplain was delineated from H01 to the outfall to Hunter Creek at OFALL-11. The
delineated floodplain shows flow skirting the house reported to have to sandbag during
precipitation events with a relatively shallow depth of approximately 3-inches adjacent to the
house. In the area to the south along Spruce Street that is reported to have flooded in a 2006
storm event, there is a relatively new curb and gutter section beginning just northwest of the
citizen’s house. It is suspected that this improvement was developed after the reported flooding
and that any potential split flow from H01 would be conveyed along the road and away from the
residence.
The only storm conveyance system within the basin is a bridge inlet located on the east side of
the Red Mountain Road bridge at H04; which was estimated to have 10-year capacity.
2.7.1.2 Gibson Avenue Basin
Existing System Description: The Gibson Avenue Basin has a total drainage area of
approximately 65.2 acres and is mostly developed with high and medium density residential
property dominating areas in the lower elevation regions, closest to the Roaring Fork River. The
upper headwaters are undeveloped and designated as open space.
The upper headwaters of the Gibson Avenue Basin flow along Silverlode Drive where the
majority of storm runoff empties into multiple lateral storm sewer systems that converge at an
engineered underground infiltration basin coupled with multiple dry wells in series, just above
Teal Court. Storm runoff then continues west along Spruce Street where it is conveyed through
residential parking lots and landscaped swales until a crossing at Lone Pine Road. Storm runoff
then continues to the west along Miners Trail Road where it meets a natural swale flowing to a
parking lot, then passes through a gap between the townhomes to continue south along Red
Mountain Road to the intersection with Gibson Avenue, where it crosses under the road to the
outfall (OFALL-3) into the Roaring Fork River.
A separate contributing area accumulates along Gibson Avenue which flows through a storm
system, beginning just past the Lone Pine Road and Gibson Avenue intersection, and outfalls to
the Roaring Fork River (OFALL-3), just on the east side of the North Mill Street bridge.
Drainage Deficiencies: All dry wells were found to be inadequate to capture the 2-year event.
The infiltration basin above Teal Court was able to capture up to the 100-year event with
minimal overtopping. The cross-culvert under Lone Pine Road at G05 was shown to be able to
convey up to the 5-year event. Overflow from larger storms goes to the northeast along Lone

Pine Road to a grate inlet just before Red Mountain Road, which outfalls (at OFALL-1) to the
Roaring Fork River. Lone Pine Road can convey the 100-year event with roadside curb and
gutter flow. The grate inlet at G06 captures all runoff up to the 100-year event and passes it to
the Roaring Fork River.
The area downstream of the Lone Pine Road crossing experiences flooding in the 100-year
event. A swale, evident from the 1-foot contours and aerial, flows through this developed area
but overtops the banks during the 100-year event and skirts around multiple structures. An 8-
inch inlet pipe at G08 cannot convey the 2-year event and overflow spills into the parking lot,
flows through an opening between the townhouse developments and down to Red Mountain
Road.
Evaluated culvert crossings and storm interception systems downstream of G08 along Red
Mountain Road were all found to be inadequate to pass the 5-year event. All other evaluated
storm systems were found to convey the 10-year event or more.
2.7.1.3 Neale Avenue and OK Flats Basin
Existing System Description: The Neale Avenue and OK Flats Basin has a total drainage area
of approximately 208.5 acres. The lower elevations within the basin are made up of a mixture of
medium and high density residential property. The Smuggler Mine is located near the center of
the basin while the upper half of the basin remains undeveloped with designated open space.
Two major drainage systems flow through the lower residential reaches of the Neale Avenue and
OK Flats Basin and empty into the Roaring Fork River. The largest collects runoff along Park
Circle from the major basin’s headwaters along Silver Lode Drive and Smuggler Mountain
Road. The collected flow continues to the west down Park Circle through the Oklahoma Flats
subdivision along East Francis Street before outfalling into the Roaring Fork River at OFALL-1.
The second drainage system collects into two lateral storm sewer systems that empty into the
trunk line that follows Gibson Avenue to the east and down Neale Avenue to its outfall on the
upstream edge of the Neale Avenue bridge at OFALL-2. This system originates with 12-inch
and 24-inch pipes that eventually lead to a 36-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) trunk line to the
Roaring Fork River.
The modeled mining retention area above Silverlode Drive at P02-N01 collects runoff from the
Smuggler Mine and was found to retain the full 100-year runoff volume. A private underground
detention area (P03-N16) within the Centennial Condominiums residential development collects
flow from the contributing area within the development (Sub-basin N16) and all upstream flow
contributing to Brown Lane.
Drainage Deficiencies: Flow originating in the headwaters is collected and conveyed along
Smuggler Mountain Road. When this runoff converges with flow from Silverlode Drive at
DW01-N10, the two storm conduits coupled with dry wells DW02-N04 and DW01-N10 are
unable to handle the 2-year event. These dry wells overflow into the road section along Park
Circle, at its intersection with Brown Lane, which is unable to convey the 100-year event and
spills into the Smuggler Park development to the south; flooding the lowest areas throughout the
Oklahoma Flats subdivisions downstream along East Francis Street as well as Gibson Avenue
and South Avenue.
The Neale Avenue and OK Flats sub basin that originates in the Smuggler Park development was
estimated to be able to convey the up to the 50-year event with the exception of a 12-inch CMP
(located at D13-N23) along the Neale Avenue Bridge at its outfall.

April 2015 2-45 | Stormwater Runoff and Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis
A separate underground detention area is located north of the intersection of Brown Lane and
Park Circle. The underground detention area (P03-N16), assumed to be hydraulically connected
to the street runoff from Park Circle, is unable to handle the 2-year event and provides no
attenuation of storm runoff in the area.
A known deficiency was reported along King Street where there is a localized depression in the
road with no storm sewer system at N22.
Water Quality Capture Volume Analysis: The Neale Avenue and OK Flats Basin was
selected as a pilot study to evaluate impacts to peak flows and total runoff volumes for the 2-, 5-,
and 10-year events from applying 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% of the water quality capture
volume (WQCV) for the impervious areas of each sub-basin. Per the URMP (Reference 1), in
Aspen, the WQCV to treat 100% of the impervious area for each watershed is 0.26 watershed
inches. Figure 8.13 from the URMP provided a curve for the “Effective Impervious of Tributary
Area to BMP (percent)” to determine the resulting fractional WQCV for the 75%, 50%, and 25%
treatment options, shown in Table 2.12.

Notes: % = Percent; WQCV = Water Quality Capture Volume
These WQCV depths were added on to the original estimated values for impervious depression
storage in the CUHP model for each fractional WQCV scenario within the Neale Avenue and
OK Flats Basin. The results of the InfoSWMM-routed WQCV scenarios are summarized in
Table 2.13. Generally, applying the WQCV is most effectual at the 75% and 100% levels in the
10-year storm event. For the more frequent events (e.g., the 2-year event), the reduction in flows
is minimal.

2.7.1.4 Riverside McSkimming Basin
Existing System Description: The Riverside McSkimming Basin has a total drainage area of
approximately 188.9 acres and mostly consists of medium-density residential property in the
lower reaches. A large cemetery is located in the south, central edge of the basin. The upper
headwaters become more sparsely developed traveling up Smuggler Mountain to open space
areas.
The Riverside McSkimming Basin consists of multiple flow paths through the widespread basin
along the Roaring Fork River with major flow paths converging along Park Avenue, East
Hopkins Avenue, East Cooper Avenue, and near Crystal Lake Road. East Cooper Avenue, a
continuation of Highway 82, is the only flow path that currently has a storm system on its
downstream end, consisting of 12-inch and 18-inch CMPs.
A private retention pond (P01-R15) is located adjacent to the Salvation Ditch, just east of Crystal
Lake Road which collects runoff solely from Sub-basin R15. It was estimated to have sufficient
capacity to retain the 100-year event runoff volume. There are three additional aesthetic, private
detention ponds located throughout the basin (P03-R08S, P04-R08N, and P02-R13), but these
were modeled as initially full for each simulation, since any capacity to provide attenuation for
storm runoff cannot be confirmed.
Drainage Deficiencies: The majority of the Riverside McSkimming Basin lacks a storm system
and flow generally is conveyed along streets, across parking lots, and through natural and
landscaped swales. These areas were analyzed with the floodplain modeling criteria outlined in
Section 2.6.5 and all areas were shown to have minimal flooding risk except for a known
flooding area at the intersection of Midland Avenue and Park Avenue as well as an area near
Regent Street to the south. A dry well (DW01-R07) at the corner of Midland Avenue and Park
Avenue cannot handle the 2-year event and creates flooding in the area. A HEC-RAS model of
this area along Park Avenue from Midland Avenue to outfall OFALL-04, including an overflow
branch along Regent Street, was constructed to estimate the 100-year inundation area. Several
private residences are impacted by the 100-year event along Regent Street and Park Avenue,
close to OFALL-04.
A single storm system located along the lower section of the East Cooper Avenue Outfall reach
at R19 cannot handle the 5-year event. Another separate storm culvert located at R11 along
Eastwood Drive is comprised of a single 12-inch CMP and cannot convey the 2-year event.
2.7.1.5 Eastwood Basin
Existing System Description: The Eastwood Basin has a total drainage area of approximately
156.6 acres with the lower reaches covered with medium density residential property, which
transitions to more sparsely populated towards Smuggler Mountain. The upper half of the basin
remains undeveloped and is designated open space.
The main flow path within the Eastwood Basin originates with runoff from the undeveloped
upper reaches collecting along Mountain Laurel Drive. Storm runoff is routed along this rural
road until it skirts the east side of the basin down natural swales through medium density
residential property, parallel to West Lupine Drive. Drainage continues to Roaring Fork Drive
and enters a grated storm inlet system just downstream of the Roaring Fork Drive and Highway
82 intersection at E02, where it is directed toward its outfall to the Roaring Fork River.
P101
I.
April 2015 2-51 | Stormwater Runoff and Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis
A smaller, separate reach to the west collects flow from Sub-basin E05. The reach runs along
the Highway 82 low point below a riprapped swale into another grated inlet where it is diverted
across the highway towards the Roaring Fork River.
Drainage Deficiencies: The upper area of the main outfall reach lacks any piped storm system
and is conveyed along streets, street ditches, and natural swales through residential property to
Highway 82. The 100-year flood inundation area was modeled along this main reach from
junction J06-E02 to the outfall to the Roaring Fork River at OFALL-01. The 100-year flow path
meanders and touches several residential structures between Mountain Laurel Drive and Roaring
Fork Drive. Downstream of Roaring Fork Drive to the outfall, runoff is conveyed along the road
alignment, crosses Highway 82 as shallow sheet flow and into the Roaring Fork River without
compromising any additional structures. The downstream 18-inch, in-series cross culverts at
Highway 82 along the main reach are unable to convey the 5-year event.
The smaller drainage system at Highway 82, to the west that collects runoff from Sub-basin E05,
was estimated to be able to convey the 10-year event. No known drainage deficiencies were
reported for this basin.
2.7.1.6 Stillwater Bridge Basin
Existing System Description: The Stillwater Bridge Basin is the largest and most undeveloped
basin in the project area with a total drainage area of approximately 371.5 acres that extends
beyond the city limits. The lower quarter of the basin is mostly medium density residential
property with the remainder of the basin being undeveloped open space.
Currently, there are no piped storm systems within the Stillwater Bridge Basin. All storm runoff
is conveyed along residential streets and natural swales. The smaller, eastern drainage reach
within the basin contains a private detention area upstream of East Lupine Drive. Large storm
events are conveyed to this detention area which retains runoff up to the 50-year event. During
the 100-year event, the pond attenuates the peak flow by reducing the peak inflow from 12 cfs to
approximately 1 cfs. Overflow from the 100-year event spills across East Lupine Drive. Runoff
then continues through residential property and down Highway 82 before crossing the highway
to the Roaring Fork River.
The larger Stillwater Bridge Basin drainage system collects runoff from natural drainage swales
from the large upstream contributing sub-basins along Mountain Laurel Drive; then flowing
through several residential properties before crossing Mountain Laurel Drive. The runoff then
collects along West Lupine Drive where the final contributing area joins the system at the West
Lupine Drive and Lupine Drive intersection. The resulting total runoff continues down along
Lupine Drive where it crosses over Highway 82 to a large residential property driveway, spreads
to the southeast, and eventually outfalls to the Roaring Fork River.
Drainage Deficiencies: The entire Stillwater Bridge Basin lacks any piped stormwater
conveyance and results in the largest runoff peak flows although no drainage deficiencies have
been reported in the area. The basin relies on residential streets and road side swales to convey
flow. The main, larger reach to the west convenes at West Lupine Drive and Lupine Drive,
creating large peak runoff flows (over 40 cfs) that exceed the street capacity along Lupine Drive.
Thereby adjacent properties to the west and across Highway 82 flood as flow makes its way
toward the Roaring Fork River. A HEC-RAS model was developed to estimate the 100-year
inundation area along this entire reach from Mountain laurel Drive to the outfall to the Roaring
Fork River at OFALL-2. A smaller branch to the reach (which collects runoff from Sub-basin
P102
I.
2-52 | Stormwater Runoff and Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis April 2015
S05) was also modeled as part of the main reach. The inundation area along the smaller branch
impacts two residences before joining at InfoSWMM junction S08. The main reach inundation
area impacts three additional residences before being contained in the street section along West
Lupine Drive to Lupine Drive. Flow then spreads out of the street into a private residence before
Highway 82. After flow crosses Highway 82 as shallow concentrated flow, the 100-year
flooding spreads around a residence adjacent to the Roaring Fork River where flow pools in the
driveway, overflows around the house to the east and spreads out along a field before flowing
into the Roaring Fork River (see Figure 2.7).
A smaller branch of the main reach in the Stillwater Bridge Basin, which collects flow from Sub-
basins S03 and S06, was analyzed with the criteria in Section 2.6.5 and deemed a low flooding
hazard due to the low flows and shallow flow depths.
The smaller flow reach to the east was also modeled in HEC-RAS to determine the 100-year
flood inundation area. Flow collected from Sub-basin S04 meanders through private property
alongside a residence before reaching East Lupine Drive. Runoff then flows into the private
detention pond. Flow then spills over East Lupine Drive, spreads to shallow sheet flow, which
compromises another private residence, before collecting along Highway 82 and flows to the
south. The flooding limits then spreads as shallow sheet flow over Highway 82 and spreads
across an undeveloped field before discharging to the Roaring Fork River at OFALL-1.
2.8 DISCUSSION
Apart from the Gibson Avenue Basin and Neale Avenue and OK Flats Basin, most of the
drainage areas evaluated do not have any piped storm systems. Instead, stormwater and
snowmelt runoff is conveyed by the existing streets, road side ditches and natural swales. This is
true in the Stillwater Bridge Basin, Eastwood Basin, and the Riverside McSkimming Basin,
where some of the highest peak flows were estimated. Of the evaluated storm sewer systems
that do exist and were surveyed, most were estimated to be able to convey the 5-year event
which meets Aspen’s current standards. The Neale Avenue & OK Flats, Eastwood, and
Stillwater Bridge Basins were shown to have the largest 100-year inundation areas with multiple
residences affected.
There are a number of private, aesthetic detention ponds located throughout the Study Area but
only one in the Stillwater Bridge Basin that was modeled with any storage to attenuate storm
peak runoff flows. That location was estimated to fully retain the 50-year event runoff volume.
Two retention areas, one downstream of the Smuggler Mine in the Neale Avenue and OK Flats
Basin and one in the southeast corner of the Riverside McSkimming Basin, were found to retain
the 100-year runoff volume for their respective contributing areas. An engineered, underground
infiltration basin in the upper reaches of the Gibson Avenue was evaluated and estimated to be
able to substantially attenuate all frequency storms. A separate private underground detention
tank in at the upstream end of the flooded Park Circle street in the Neale Avenue and OK Flats
Basin was also evaluated and shown to be inadequately sized for the 2-year event. All dry wells
that were surveyed and evaluated in this study were found to be inadequate for the 2-year runoff
volume and did not attenuate any peak flows for any return period.

SECTION THREE
MUDFLOW ANALYSIS
April 2015 3-1 | Mudflow Analysis
3 Section 3 THREE Mudflow Analysis
3.1 SCOPE OF WORK
This section discusses and analyses the potential hazards from mud floods and mudflows that
may develop in the watershed from rainfall events. The work scope of the mudflow analysis is
to:
1. Obtain and review current available information and data, including previous debris-flow
studies for Aspen. A field investigation was performed to identify critical watersheds
that could develop potential mudflow, based on site-specific land cover, top soils/rock
conditions, and slope stability.
2. Estimate the magnitude of potential debris-flow events originating from the critical
watersheds by creating a detailed 2-D mudflow model. The 2-, 10-, 50-, and 100‐year
storm flow hydrographs were obtained from the CUHP model outputs in this study and
were used to produce the mudflow in a FLO-2D model. The 2008 2-foot contours were
used to generate the topographic basis for a FLO-2D model. The downstream limit of the
2-D hydraulic model will be along the Roaring Fork River.
3. Delineate the approximate extent of the debris-flow hazard area and potential mudflow
depths along the flow paths and the historical alluvial fan within the Study Area.
4. Describe the methods, assumptions, and the results of the mudflow analysis.
3.2 RELEVANT STUDIES AND MATERIAL
Previous study reports and information provided by Aspen or obtained directly from other
sources by URS were reviewed. In addition, related information and studies along the Roaring
Fork River were also considered. Specific documents and data that were considered include the
following:
• Drainage Facility Capacity Analysis of the City of Aspen, Colorado. WRC Engineering,
Inc. 1998. (Reference 63)
• Surface Drainage Master Plan for the City of Aspen, Colorado. WRC Engineering, Inc.
2001. (Reference 64)
• Geomorphic, sedimentologic, hydraulic and sediment-continuity reports prepared by
Mussetter Engineering, Inc. for the San Miguel River (Reference 27) and Cornet Creek
(Reference 26).
• Field Notes dated May 2008: A mud slide occurred on the uphill slope at the end of
North Spruce Street and generated mudflow to the downstream adjacent properties. The
pictures of mud slide were obtained from the City and are shown in Figure 3.1. These
indicate active unstable slopes and hazard areas in the watershed.

3.3 CHARACTERISTICS OF MUDFLOW AND MUD FLOOD
For the purposes of this study, the National Research Council (NRC) (1982) terminology for
describing mudflows and other forms of hyperconcentrated flows has been adopted.
Hyperconcentrated sediment flows (mudflows and mud floods) are part of a continuum in the
“physics of flowing water and sediment movement that ranges from clear water flow to mass
wasting processes (landslides)” (SLA and O’Brien, 1989). In general, sediment transport
characteristics range from suspended and bed load transport in water floods to mass wasting in
landslide events. Suspended and bed load transport mean sediment particles are mainly carried
by running water and travel along stream paths. Landslide is a downward and outward
movement of unconsolidated material caused by gravity. Generally, movement of materials stops
at the toe of the downhill slope.
The NRC Committee (NRC, 1982) proposed four categories to delineate the continuum of types
of sediment transport: water floods, mud-floods, mudflows, and landslides, as shown in Figure
3.2. The bounds of each of these categories can be approximated based on the fluid properties
and in particular by the sediment concentration (by volume) of the fluid as shown in Table 3.1.
The sediment concentration of fluid is defined as the ratio of the sediment volume to the total
volume and is given by:
ܥ௩ ൌ ೞ

P106

where Cv = sediment concentration by volume, Vs = volume of sediment, and Vw = volume of
clear water.
Figure 3.2. Hyperconcentrated Sediment Flow Classification
(after National Research Council 1982)
This study focuses on the sediment transport characteristics of the mud flood and mudflow
categories. Table 3.1 provides brief descriptions of the sediment transport characteristics for
each mudflow category.
Mudflows are typically non-Newtonian, very viscous and hyperconcentrated sediment flows,
whose fluid properties change dramatically as they flow down alluvial fans or steep channels.
The behavior of the mudflow is a function of the fluid matrix properties (i.e. density, viscosity,
and yield stress), channel geometry, slope, and roughness. Viscosity is in turn a function of the
type of sediment (clay or silt), the sediment concentration, and the water temperature. Mudflows
have high sediment concentrations and high yield stresses, which may produce laminar flow.
Large flood events, such as the 100-year flood, may contain too much water to produce a viscous
mudflow event.
Per Section 7.0 of the URMP (Reference 1), higher recurrence interval rainfall events such as the
10- or 25-year return period storm may have a greater propensity to create viscous mudflows
with high viscosity and yield stress. Usually, the peak concentration of sediment during a

mudflow event is about 45% by volume, and the average sediment concentration is between 20%
and 35% by volume. Mud floods will be produced by larger flood events such as the 50- or 100-
year flood. Since mud floods contain a higher proportion of water than mudflows, mud floods
are less viscous and are always turbulent.

According to the previous studies and Chapter 7 – Mudflow Analysis of the URMP,
hyperconcentrated flows are categorized as mudflows emanating from smaller precipitation
events (2- and 10-year events) and are categorized as mud floods emanating from larger
precipitation events (50- and 100-year events).
3.4 SITE INVESTIGATION AND CRITICAL WATERSHED
IDENTIFICATION
A field investigation for the mudflow analysis was conducted on October 9 and 10, 2012. For
this project, the study area is divided into six major basins. Field conditions of each watershed
were observed, including land covers, topsoils/rocks, overland slope, surface erosion or soil loss
locations, and flow paths. The field photographs shown in Figure 3.3 briefly explain the

existing watershed conditions and were used as the reference material for identifying the critical
watersheds which would potentially produce mudflows during precipitation events.
In addition, the potential geologic hazard map on Smuggler Mountain above Aspen obtained
from the USGS and shown in the 2001 Surface Drainage Master Plan for the City of Aspen
(Reference 64), shown in Figure 3.4, was referenced to identify the unstable areas within the
study watersheds (i.e. alluvial fans, landslide areas, rock fall areas, and other unstable slopes).
Alluvial fans identified in the areas are generally indicative of past and potential mudflow events
in the watersheds. This field information and evaluation criteria were used to identify the critical
watersheds for the mudflow hazard analysis. The existing conditions, historical mudflow records
and identification are described for each watershed below.
In this study, a critical watershed for mudflow hazard was identified by the observed or
documented mudflow evident in the watershed and a significant portion of the watershed labeled
as Potential Unstable Slopes in the USGS Geological Survey Map (Figure 3.4). A quasi-stable
watershed for mudflow hazard was identified by no mudflow observed or documented, and well-
vegetated surfaces in the watershed, but a portion of the watershed labeled as Potential Unstable
Slopes in the USGS Geological Survey Map.
3.4.1 Hunter Creek Basin
Approximately 55% of the watershed is undeveloped and located at the uphill area east of the
end of Spruce Street. Half of the undeveloped area is labeled as Potential Unstable Slopes in the
USGS Geological Survey Map (Figure 3.4). The existing residential properties were mainly
built on historical alluvial fans. Photograph No. 4 in Figure 3.3 shows that the current hill slope
is covered by grass, shrubs, and bare topsoil. In addition, a mud slide and associated mudflow
were observed along Spruce Street in May 2008 (Figure 3.1). These observations indicate that
the Hunter Creek Basin is classified as a critical watershed for mudflow hazard.
3.4.2 Gibson Avenue Basin
Approximately 29% of the watershed is undeveloped and located at the uphill area east of
Silverlode Drive. The undeveloped area is mostly labeled as Potential Unstable Slopes in the
USGS Geological Survey Map. The existing residential properties were mainly built at the toes
of the slopes and on historical alluvial fans. Photograph No. 7 in Figure 3.3 is a street view of
Silverlode Drive. No historical remains of mudflow such as debris flow stains or damages were
seen on buildings and trees, and no sand and silt depositions, were observed from the field
investigation. However, from conversations with local residents during field reconnaissance, the
URS Team learned that mudflow damage occurred at the condominium properties near Free
Silver Court. The current hill slope above the retaining wall on Free Silver Drive is covered by
grass, shrubs, and oak. These observations indicate that the Gibson Avenue Basin is classified as
a critical watershed for mudflow hazard.
3.4.3 Neale Avenue and OK Flats Basin
Approximately 70% of the watershed is undeveloped and located at the uphill area east of
Silverlode Drive and Sesame Street. Mud slide remains were observed at the north part of the
watershed near Smuggler Mountain Road. Photograph Nos. 2, 3, and 5 in Figure 3.3 show the
obvious wide surface erosion areas covered by loose sandy soils and piping erosion on the slope.
A bare soil area is exposed in the Smuggler Mine site just east of Silverlode Drive and north of

Smuggler Mountain Road (Photograph No. 1 in Figure 3.3). These areas could potentially
initiate mudflows during a rain event.
A potential hazard area of about 42 acres is labeled as Potential Unstable Slopes in the USGS
Geological Survey Map (Figure 3.4). The location agrees with the erosion areas observed in the
field. The existing residential properties were mainly built at the toes of the slopes and on
historical alluvial fans. The current hill slope is covered by bare soil, grass, shrubs, oaks, and
aspens. These observations indicate that Neale Avenue and OK Flats Basin is classified as a
critical watershed for mudflow hazard.
3.4.4 Riverside McSkimming Basin
About 38% of the watershed is undeveloped and located in the uphill area in the northeastern
portion of the watershed. An area of approximately seven acres is labeled as Potential Unstable
Slopes in the USGS Geological Survey Map (Figure 3.4). Photograph Nos. 8 and 9 in Figure
3.3 show the existing slope conditions. The existing hill slope is a wide and flat surface covered
by grass, weeds and short bushes. No visible open channels or erosion gullies were found on the
slope. No historical remains of mudflow were observed during the field investigation. These
indicate that no concentrated flow was present in the past that could result in mudflows. The
current hill slope is well-covered by bare rock/granite, grass, shrubs, aspen, and oak. These
observations indicate that the watershed of Riverside McSkimming Basin is classified as a quasi-
stable watershed for mudflow hazard.
3.4.5 Eastwood Basin
Approximately 64% of the watershed is undeveloped and located in the uphill area northeast of
Mountain Laurel Drive. Only a small area is labeled as Potential Unstable Slopes in the USGS
Geological Survey Map (Figure 3.4). No visible open channels were found on the slope and no
historical remains of mudflow hazard were observed from the field investigation. These indicate
that concentrated floods and mudflow might not have occurred in the past in this area. The
current hill slope is well-covered by bare rock/granite, grass, shrubs, aspen, and oak. These
observations indicate that the Eastwood Basin is classified as a quasi-stable watershed for
mudflow hazard.
3.4.6 Stillwater Bridge Basin
Approximately 90% of the watershed is undeveloped and located at the uphill area northeast of
Mountain Laurel Drive. A mountain arroyo runs between the properties of 711 Mountain Laurel
Drive and 681 Mountain Laurel Drive and then disappears downstream from Mountain Laurel
Drive. Photograph No. 6 in Figure 3.3 shows a high-density coniferous forest and vegetation
located on the upper hill slopes. The lower hill slopes are well-covered by coniferous forest and
aspen. No historical remains of mudflow hazard were observed from the field investigation. In
addition, the state geological map shows that the geologic unit in this watershed is mainly
granite. These observations indicate that the Stillwater Bridge Basin is classified as a quasi-
stable watershed for mudflow hazard.

3.4.7 Summary
In summary, three critical watersheds were identified for potential mudflow hazards and were
analyzed using FLO-2D in this study – the Hunter Creek Basin, the Gibson Avenue Basin, and
the Neale Avenue and OK Flats Basin,. As described above, the remaining watersheds were
deemed quasi-stable based on field observations, vegetative cover, and with presence of only
small areas of unstable slopes. Those watersheds do not warrant FLO-2D analysis.
3.5 FLO-2D
3.5.1 Introduction
FLO-2D is a quasi-two-dimensional, finite difference flood routing model. The model utilizes a
volume conservation scheme to simulate both subcritical and super-critical flows. Overland flow
is modeled using a 2-D diffusive wave approximation of the momentum equation. A central
difference routing scheme with eight potential flow directions is used to simulate the progression
of the floodwave hydrograph over a system of square grids. In addition to modeling water-only
flow, the program can also model hyperconcentrated sediment flow or mudflow.
Hyperconcentrated sediment flow is runoff that contains a very high concentration of sediment.
FLO-2D requires a representation of the topography of the study area. This is accomplished by
establishing a network of nodes and assigning x-y coordinates and elevations to each node. A
typical grid node spacing is 200 feet to 500 feet. Decreasing the node spacing increases the
number of nodes and decreases the length of time step used in the model. Both factors increase
the model’s run time. In this study, a fine grid size, 30 feet, was used.
The FLO-2D model contains several components that are used to represent and model the
complex topography and processes, including: channel-floodplain flow exchange, loss of storage
due to buildings, flow obstructions, simulation of hydraulic structures, simulation of street flow
and simulation of hyper-concentrated sediment flows (mudflows). Flow in a FLO-2D model can
be generated by inputting a runoff hydrograph at select nodes. Hyperconcentrated sediment flow
is simulated by the FLO-2D model using a quadratic rheological model that includes viscous
stress, yield stress, turbulence and dispersive stress terms as a function of sediment
concentration. FLO-2D does not have the ability to model unsteady phenomena such as surging.
It also assumes a rigid boundary, and therefore, does not model aggradation or scour.
The governing equations used in FLO-2D to route water flow and/or hyperconcentrated sediment
flow include the numerical integration of the continuity equation and the dynamic wave equation
as shown in the FLO-2D User’s Manual (Reference 17). In a FLO-2D model, flow depth,
velocities, and discharges between adjacent nodes are calculated every time step. The model
makes a single sweep of the grid system, explicitly solving for flow depth one node at a time for
each time step, and storage volumes at each node for both water and sediment are computed.
The inflow, outflow, and change in storage across the entire grid system are assessed at the end
of each time step to ensure that volume is conserved within tolerance levels. If the volume is not
conserved sufficiently, the model will automatically reduce the time step and re-solve for flow
depth at each node.
In this study, mud floods and mudflows were modeled using inflow hydrographs obtained from
the InfoSWMM model presented in Section 2. FLO-2D routes the hyperconcentrated flows,
tracking the sediment volumes through the system. Changing sediment concentration and
dilution effects are simulated at each node by the FLO-2D program. Sediment concentration
P113
I.
3-10 | Mudflow Analysis April 2015
governs the movement of the fluid matrix. Quadratic rheological equations are used to predict
viscous and yield stresses as a function of sediment concentration.
Simulation outputs generated by the FLO-2D model include maximum mudflow depths and
velocities, and a summary of the total inflow, outflow, storage, and losses within the study area.
3.5.2 Methodology and Assumptions
The CUHP basin hydrology models were first run to estimate runoff hydrographs for clear water
only. These outflow hydrographs at the critical outfall locations, along with the estimated
sediment concentrations at each time step, were imported into the inflow nodes on the upstream
arroyos above the residential areas in the FLO-2D models. The peak sediment concentration by
volume corresponds to the peak of the clear-water flow hydrograph.
Hydraulic structures such as bridges and culverts were assumed to be blocked in the FLO-2D
models. The existing storm drainage system only covers a very limited area within the City, and
a majority is located at the downstream end area of each drainage basin close to the Roaring Fork
River. Therefore, the local inlets and grates were conservatively assumed to be clogged by
sediment or debris during mudflow events. Since the surface runoff hydrographs were obtained
from the CUHP model outputs, there are no additional losses due to infiltration and initial
rainfall abstractions in the FLO-2D model.
Determination of the recurrence interval of hyperconcentrated sediment flow events is difficult
due to the complex relationships between rainfall, antecedent soil moisture conditions and
availability of sediment. Antecedent moisture conditions can influence whether a mudflow event
will occur for a given rainfall event. For example, a 25-year rainfall event may initiate a
mudflow if the soils are saturated, whereas the same 25-year rainfall event may not initiate a
mudflow if the soils are not saturated. Antecedent moisture conditions can also effect soil
erosion, bank and slope stability, and the magnitude and timing of runoff. In addition, the
availability of stored sediment in the basin affects the magnitude and characteristic of the hyper-
concentrated sediment flow. The time elapsed since the last major storm event also affects the
quantity of sediment stored in the channel and watershed, which could increase the mudflow
potential during the next storm event. In this study, the frequency of a mudflow was assumed to
be equal to the frequency of the rainfall.
The hypothetical two-hour frequency rainfall events were used as the standard storms to generate
the runoff hydrographs for the mudflow simulations.
The outputs from the FLO-2D modeling are limited by the assumptions or inputs such as rainfall
distribution, sediment concentration, topographic accuracy, etc. The results only present the
potential and magnitude of mud floods and mudflows that may develop due to rainfall events in
the study area.
3.5.3 Input Data for FLO-2D Models
Mudflow simulations were conducted for 2-, 10-, 50-, and 100-year frequency storm events for
this study. The model inputs include topographic data, inflow hydrographs with sediment
concentration conveyed by the flow, and Manning’s friction coefficient along the flow paths.
The input data that affects the results of the modeling effort the most are described below.

3.5.3.1 Elevation Data and Grid Size
The FLO-2D topographic surface was generated from the 2008 Aspen/Pitkin County Airport
(ASE) 2-foot contours. For this study, 9,574 cells were created at a spacing of 30 feet. A grid
size of 30 feet was assumed to adequately resolve the topography, yet limit the total number of
cells so each computer run would be completed in a reasonable time. It should be noted that
topographic surfaces often do not adequately resolve roadway embankments, stream crossings
and areas of recent development. Therefore, the flood routing results may not provide adequate
detail at these features.
In addition, in the FLO-2D topographic surface, the existing Smuggler Mine on-site pond was
filled up to the existing ground elevation. This results in a slightly more conservative inundation
extents and mudflow hazard mapping.
3.5.3.2 Buildings and Streets
Buildings were identified using the GIS data and the 2008 aerial image and incorporated into the
analysis as a GIS dataset. Building heights were added to the ground elevation so no flow was
allowed to pass through the buildings. Major roads and streets were specified and modeled as
flood conveyance features. A global street width of 20 feet and curb height of 0.5 feet were
assigned to the street elements in the FLO-2D models.
3.5.3.3 Overland Flow Manning’s n Roughness Coefficient
The routed overland flow travels over floodplains or historical alluvial fans which are fully
developed with buildings, landscapes, and public infrastructure. Overland flow velocities and
depths vary with topography and the surface roughness. Typical Manning’s “n” roughness
coefficients for overland flow are shown in Table 3.2. According to the existing site conditions,
a global Manning’s n-value of 0.05 was applied to the entire model besides street elements. In
the FLO-2D model, the floodplain roughness will be increased when the flow depth decreases to
below 0.2 ft. This roughness adjustment will slow the downstream progression of the
floodwave. For this study, the floodplain Manning’s n-values vary from 0.05 up to 0.2
depending on the computed flow depth. For streets, a global n-value of 0.02 was used.

3.5.3.4 Outflow Boundary Conditions
To discharge flows from the grid system in the FLO-2D model, outflow cells must be specified.
The outflow boundary for this project area is continuous along the Roaring Fork River and up
Hunter Creek. The model calculates outflows using the free flow method.
3.5.3.5 Numerical Routing Setup
The following computational tolerance values were selected for the FLO-2D model for the Study
Area:
• Floodplain Limiting Froude Number = 2.0
• Tolerance value for the percent change (DEPTOL) = 0.2
• Surface detention value (TOL) = 0.1 foot
• Maximum value of the numerical stability coefficient for full dynamic wave flood routing
(WAVEMAX) = 1.0
• Dynamic wave stability coefficient = 0.1
The simulation time is 48 hours, which is much longer than the inflow hydrograph duration
(about 2 hours). This allows the simulated flood peaks to pass through the entire study area
unless the entire flood volume is captured in the storage areas in the watershed.

3.5.4 Modeling Scenarios
Based on the scope of work for this study, four scenarios were modeled, namely:
• Scenario I: Mudflow from the 2-year rainfall event
• Scenario II: Mudflow from the 10-year rainfall event
• Scenario III: Mud flood from the 50-year rainfall event
• Scenario IV: Mud flood from the 100-year rainfall event
3.5.5 Mudflow Hydrographs and Initiation Locations
Mudflow was assumed to be initiated on the upstream arroyos within each critical watershed.
Six sub-basins were subsequently identified as the potential mudflow hazard sources that
produce mudflow to the downstream watershed areas. They are Sub-basins H01, G01, G02,
G04, N01 and N04, and N02. The clear water outflow hydrographs from these basins were
obtained from the CUHP model outputs. These clear-water inflow hydrographs are input to the
FLO-2D model at the specified elements near the head of the flowpath in the study watersheds.
The inflow cells in the FLO-2D model are shown in Figure 3.5.
Figure 3.5. Locations of the Inflow Cells in the FLO-2D Models
The clear-water hydrograph is bulked with an estimated sediment concentration (by volume, Cv)
to represent the mudflow hydrograph. The total volume of the water and sediment in a mudflow
can be determined by multiplying the clear-water volume by the bulking factor, where the
bulking factor, BF, is defined by:
P117
I.
3-14 | Mudflow Analysis April 2015
𝐵𝐵=1(1 −𝐶𝑣)
For example, a sediment concentration of 10 % (Cv =0.10) creates a bulking factor of 1.11,
indicating the flood volume is 11 percent greater than if the flood was considered to be only
water. For this study, the maximum bulking factors are about 1.8 and 1.5 for mudflow and mud
flood events, respectively.
The sediment concentrations during a flood hydrograph vary with flow discharges and were
estimated based on Aspen’s criteria, previous studies, and recommendations provided in the
FLO-2D manual. The developed sediment concentration hydrographs are included in Appendix
C and have the following characteristics:
1. The peak sediment concentration during a mudflow event from the 2- and 10-year storm
events was assumed to be 45%, and associated average sediment concentration was 35%,
according to Aspen’s criteria. For a mud flood event from the 50- and 100-year storm
events, the peak concentration of sediment was assumed to be 35%, and associated
average sediment concentration was 25%.
2. Sediment transport capacity of clear water can be expressed as a power function of flow
discharge. Cv−clear water =a ∙𝑄𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑏
where Cv-clear water = clear-water sediment transport capacity in concentration by volume,
Qwater = clear-water discharge, and a and b = empirical coefficients of a power function.
The power function resulted in maximum sediment concentration at the peak discharge of
a hydrograph. The empirical coefficients a and b were determined by trial-and-error so
the predicted maximum sediment concentration would equal either 45% or 35% and the
predicted average sediment concentration would equal either 35% or 25%, for mudflow
or mud flood, respectively, as described above.
3. The dynamic viscosity, η, and yield stress, τy, of mudflow were estimated based on
O’Brien’s 1986 study (References 31 and 32). Table 3.3 shows the summary of power
functions and corresponding coefficients and exponents from O’Brien’s study. The
parameter values of Aspen Watershed were adopted and used for the FLO-2D mudflow
modeling in this study.

3.6 FLO-2D MODELING RESULTS
Summary outputs from the FLO-2D model runs for all scenarios were provided in Appendix C.
The FLO-2D post processor program, Mapper Pro, was used to generate the computed maximum
mudflow depth and inundation area that were used in creating the inundation maps.
Figures 3.6 through 3.9 depict the mudflow inundation areas and depths resulting from the
FLO-2D modeling under the four scenarios. These simulated results present the potential
mudflow hazard under the existing conditions with the frequency-precipitation events.
3.6.1 2-Year Mudflow Event
The flow velocity at the end of model run (48 hours) is about zero feet per second. This
indicates that the 2-year mudflow will be captured in the depression areas within the drainage
system and limited areas will be impacted. About six residential buildings would be impacted by
the mudflow with a flood depth less than one foot. The potential mudflow produced from the
Smuggler Mine site would be captured and stored on the mine site.

3-16 | Mudflow Analysis April 2015
3.6.2 10-Year Mudflow Event
The flow velocity at the end of the model run is about zero feet per second. This indicates that
the 10-year mudflow will be captured in the depression areas within the watershed and limited
areas will be impacted. The potential mudflow hazard areas are the neighborhoods and
communities close to Silverlode Drive, and upper Spruce Street, and the Smuggler mine site.
The potential maximum mudflow depths would be less than two feet.
3.6.3 50-Year Mud Flood Event
The flow velocity at the end of the model run is about zero feet per second. The simulated mud
flood would travel west from Smuggler Mountain through Spruce Street, Silverlode Drive, Park
Circle, and the developed area and communities. The potential mud flood hazard areas are the
neighborhoods and communities close to Silverlode Drive, Williams Ranch Drive, Spruce Street,
Teal Court, Free Silver Court, and Park Circle. The potential mudflow produced from the
Smuggler Mine site would inundate the neighborhoods and communities next to Oak Lane, Ajax
Avenue, and Park Circle. The potential maximum mudflow depths would occur at the front
entrance of the building at the end of Spruce Street (0.8 ft), Oak Lane (1.1 ft), the front yard of a
residential building at mid of Silverlode Drive (1.0 ft), the landscape pond at the northeast end of
Race Street (2.7 ft), and the on-site pond at the Smuggler Mine site.
3.6.4 100-Year Mud Flood Event
The simulated mud flood would travel west from Smuggler Mountain through the developed
areas and flow into Roaring Fork and Hunter Creek. The mud flood would be conveyed by
Spruce Street, Silverlode Drive, Park Circle, Vine Street, Gibson Avenue, South Avenue, Ajax
Avenue, Oak Lane, Cottonwood Lane, Maple Lane, Teal Court, Free Silver Court, and East
Francis Street. The potential mud flood hazard areas are the neighborhoods and communities
close to Silverlode Drive, Williams Ranch Drive, Spruce Street, Teal Court, Free Silver Court,
and Vine Street. The potential mudflow produced from the Smuggler Mine site would inundate
the neighborhoods and communities next to Ajax Avenue, Oak Lane, Cottonwood Lane, Maple
Lane, Gibson Avenue, East Francis Street, and North Spring Street. The potential maximum
mudflow depths would occur at the north side of the building at the end of Spruce Street (2.2 ft),
a building side yard next to Spruces Street (2.2 ft), the low elevation areas on Oak Lane (2.8 ft),
the landscape pond at the northeast end of Race Street (8.5 ft), and the on-site pond at the
Smuggler Mine site.
3.6.5 Yellow Zones
Based on Aspen’s guidelines, areas with mudflow depth greater than 2 feet on the 100-year
mudflow inundation map are defined as yellow mudflow zones on the mudflow hazard map.
Figure 3.10 shows the delineated yellow zones from the FLO-2D modeling outputs.
3.7 DISCUSSION
The purpose of the FLO-2D mudflow modeling was to determine the level of risk the existing
buildings face during a mudflow event. The modeling results could be further used for
evaluating the potential effects on a new development or a redevelopment during a mudflow
event. The delineated mudflow areas agree in general with the observed mud slide event from
May 2008.
P120
I.
April 2015 3-17 | Mudflow Analysis
The FLO-2D modeling results depict areas which may be at high risk from mudflows and mud
floods. Based on the model results, the watershed areas above the parking lot on Teal Court,
Spruce Street, Silverlode Drive, and Oak Lane appear to have high risk for mudflow hazard as
shown on Figures 3.6 through 3.9. Based on the current conditions, the mud flow depth would
be less than two feet within the most of the delineated impacted area. The areas with mudflow
depth greater than two feet on the 100-year mudflow inundation map are defined as yellow
mudflow zones and shown in Figure 3.10.
Due to the relative uncertainty associated with the data and modeling assumptions, the computed
mudflow depths from this study should be considered as qualitative values for planning purposes
only.

SECTION FOUR
SNOWMELT ANALYSIS
April 2015 4-1 | Snowmelt Analysis
4 Section 4 FOUR Snowmelt Analysis
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Aspen experiences sufficient snowfall throughout the fall, winter, and spring seasons to
accumulate a significant snow pack both in the urban parts of town as well as in the headwaters
of watersheds. Melting of this snow pack releases large volumes of water and is a stormwater
runoff condition that must be evaluated so the impacts to the drainage systems, roadways,
structures and facilities in the Study area are understood and improvements can be recommended
if needed.
The EPA SWMM 5 (SWMM 5) model was used to compute snowmelt runoff from each sub-
basin by using the degree-day method approach (Reference 51), which is included in the SWMM
5 model interface. Input data for the snowmelt analysis includes time series data of air
temperature, snowmelt coefficients, and snow water equivalent snow pack for each sub-basin.
These input parameters were entered into the model via the Snow Pack Editor.
4.1.1 Theory
In EPA SWMM 5 program, a lumped approach is used to generate a runoff hydrograph for each
sub-basin. The rainfall intensity is the input control volume on the ground surface and the output
is a combination of runoff and infiltration. The flow resistance and travel time are controlled by
surface roughness and basin geometry characteristics. Manning’s equation is used to estimate
flow velocity at each sub-basin outlet. For snowmelt modeling, SWMM 5 converts snowmelt
rates to rainfall intensity via the degree-day method, and then computes exceeded runoff for each
sub-basin. The degree-day method of estimating snowmelt within SWMM 5 uses the following
equation: 𝑃𝑠=𝐾𝑠∙(𝑇−32℉)
Where Ps = snowmelt rate (inch/day); Ks = snowmelt coefficient in (inch/day-°F); and T = air
temperature in °F. A calibrated Ks was found to be 0.011 inch/day-°F or 0.00046 inch/hour-°F
for Aspen (Reference 1). The resulting snowmelt depth is controlled solely by the temperature
time series input generated by the temperature-frequency analysis for the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-,
and 100-year diurnal temperature swings within the Aspen area.
4.1.2 Extreme Temperature-Frequency Analysis
Based on historical data from the Aspen area, snow depth was observed to generally accumulate
from October to March, and usually begins melting from March to May. Figure 4.1 shows the
average, daily snow water equivalent depth from the Aspen 1 SWM, Colorado (050372) snow
gage station which is located south of Aspen, approximately one-half mile up Castle Creek Road.
The station is at an elevation of approximately 8,160 feet. The climate summary for Aspen is
presented in Table 4.1 (Reference 1). The snow water equivalent depth for this area based on
the snow gage station was found to generally be 1-inch in May which would result in minimal
flooding due to small potential snow water equivalent storage that can melt and runoff.
Historically colder temperatures in March seldom seemed to cause flood events due to snowmelt
due to the lower temperatures as the snowmelt rate is a function of the difference of the daily
temperature and 32°F. Therefore, a temperature frequency analysis was conducted for the month
P129

of April based on the historic available snow pack data and higher reported temperatures for the
month that would result more rapid snowmelt. The mean, maximum, and minimum
temperatures in April were obtained from Western Regional Climate Center, Station 050372 at
Aspen 1 SW, and Station 050370 in Aspen.
For the frequency analysis, there was a total of 80 years of recorded data from a historical period
of 99 years. Climate records from 1914-1980 were taken from Station 050370 in Aspen and
compiled with climate records from 1981-2012 from Station 050372 at Aspen 1 SW. The
average temperature observed at Station 050372 was generally 0.5 °F higher when compared to
Station 050370 due to the differences in weather station’s elevations. To combine these two data
time-series, the average temperature difference was used to adjust the temperatures observed in
Station 050372 by subtracting 0.5°F from each data point and then combining with the
temperature records in Station 050370 to form a composite series.
An annual, non-parametric frequency analysis was performed for the extreme maximum
temperature and average temperature data collected in April where temperatures for the 2-, 5-,
10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year return periods were estimated. This was done by sorting the entire
data for all historical temperatures for the month of April in descending order. Then each data
point was ranked from highest March temperature to the lowest March temperature with the
highest being 1. After ranking, each rank number was divided by the total number of data points
plus 1 (called the Weibull distribution). This number represents the frequency potential of
occurrence of each temperature. Temperature probabilities for the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-
year return periods were extracted by interpolating the ranked data probabilities for the inverse of
each return period. This non-parametric approach was completed three separate times for the
daily minimum, maximum, and average historic temperature data series. The resulting estimated
frequency-temperatures for the daily minimum, maximum, and average temperatures for the
month of April are shown in Table 4.2. Digital files for the frequency analysis are included in
Appendix D.

Generally, temperatures are higher in the day than night and the snowmelt rate mainly depends
on air temperatures. According to Part 630 Hydrology of the NRCS National Engineering
Handbook (Reference 50), a sine curve is suggested to represent the temperature variation within
a day. Using the sine curve, the temperature at any time could be determined by: 𝑇=𝑇𝑤+𝐴∙sin[15°(𝑡+𝐶)]
where T = air temperature in °F at time t, Ta = mean air temperature for the day, A = amplitude,
(Tmax-Tmin)/2, t = hour of the day, and C = time shift in hours when the maximum temperature
will occur during the day (assumed to be 16 hours or 2:00 pm).
The resulting daily temperature distributions used for the snowmelt analysis return periods are
shown in Figure 4.2 and Table 4.3.

4.1.3 Snowmelt Coefficient, Ks , and Elevation Lapse
The snow gage station, 050372 at Aspen 1 SW, is located at an approximate elevation of 7,930
feet. The elevation range in the study area varies from 7,845 feet to 10,545 feet. A lapse rate of
2.5 °F/1000 feet was adopted from the Surface Drainage Master Plan for the City of Aspen
(WRC Engineering Inc., 2001). This indicates that air temperature within the Study Area could
vary by approximately 6.8 °F from the base of to the very upper reaches. Therefore, snowmelt
rates were stratified into four elevation bands within the Study Area (Figure 4.3). For each sub-
basin, the snowmelt rate was calculated using the following equation: 𝑃𝑠−𝐸𝐸=𝐾𝐸𝐸−𝑏𝑤𝑏𝑏�𝑇𝐴𝑠𝐴𝑤𝑏−32°�
where Ps-El = snowmelt depth (inch/hour) in a certain elevation band, Ks = degree-day snowmelt
coefficient (inch/hour-°F) for each elevation band, and TAspen = temperature in °F in Aspen
resulting from temperature frequency analysis shown in Figure 4.2 and Table 4.3. Table 4.4
shows the temperature-frequency relationships for each elevation band. Table 4.5 presents the
computed snowmelt coefficients for each return period and elevation band that were inputted in
the SWMM 5 model to generate snowmelt runoff hydrographs for each sub-basin.

4.1.4 Model Inputs
The determined frequency-daily temperature distribution and snowmelt coefficients were input
into the SWMM 5 model to generate 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year snowmelt hydrographs.
Daily temperature distributions were input as hourly time series and impacts due to sublimation
and wind were ignored. Aspen’s URMP recommended values for Antecedent Temperature
Index (ATI), Negative Melt Ratio, study area elevation, Latitude, and Longitude Correction are
0.5, 0.6, 8100 feet, 39.2, and 0.0, respectively. As the snow melting process proceeds, the area
covered by snow gets reduced. In the SWMM 5 model, this behavior is described by an Areal
Depletion Curve that plots the fraction of total area that remains snow-covered against the ratio
of the actual snow water equivalent depth to the depth at which there is 100% snow cover. The
SWMM 5 default curves for Natural Area and No Depletion were adopted for this study to be
conservative by ensuring there is always ample snow pack available to melt when the
temperature increases above freezing.
The snow pack parameters were input in the Snow Pack Editor in SWMM 5. A constant
snowmelt coefficient was assigned to each elevation band from Table 4.5. Snowmelt was set to
begin at a base temperature of 32 °F. Dry snow pack was assumed as the initial conditions. The
average snow water equivalent depth of 20 inches for the month of April, based on the Aspen 1
SWM, Colorado (050372) snow gage station, was input as the initial snow water equivalent in
the model.
Snow Removal Parameters are operation variables that describe how snow removal occurs
within the plowable area of snow pack. According to Aspen’s Snow Plowing Plan, street snow
is plowed when there is 3 inches or more of snowfall in one event. Therefore, a 3-inch depth
was used to initiate snow removal within the SWMM 5 model. All removed, or plowed, snow
was transferred to impervious areas which were estimated to be approximately 68% of the total
area based on aerial imagery within the 7,500-8,500 study area elevation band. The ground soil
was assumed to be frozen, and no infiltration losses were assumed during each the snowmelt
simulation.

All sub-basin outfalls within the SWMM 5 model were labeled with a prefix “O” to be
transferred back into the existing InfoSWMM models created for each basin. Each basin’s
InfoSWMM model created for the rainfall analysis was copied into a separate folder and
modified by labeling each sub-basin inflow hydrograph node with a prefix “O” to link all
snowmelt hydrographs for each return period with their corresponding sub-basin. All model
elements within each InfoSWMM model remained the same as the rainfall analysis to route
snowmelt runoff generated from each sub-basin. Digital files for the InfoSWMM snowmelt
analysis are included in Appendix D.
4.1.5 Results and Discussion
Resulting snowmelt Design Point summary tables showing peak conduit flow rates and
cumulative snowmelt volumes at each node are shown in Table 4.6. Peak flow snowmelt rates
were substantially less than rainfall peak flows for each snowmelt extreme temperature return
period. Cumulative snowmelt volume was also reported for each modeling node in each basin
Design Point summary table for snowmelt. Because peak flow snowmelt rates were so low in
each basin relative to rainfall, a basin-by-basin description of deficient drainage systems is not
necessary. Although peak snowmelt runoff is not a threat relative to rainfall runoff values,
snowmelt cumulative volume can pose as flooding threat in areas with engineered drainage
systems. Areas can become flooded due to snow maintenance practices. Excess snow can be
moved to areas such as storm inlets or depressed areas and affect the originally designed
drainage patterns. Snow piles can also act as dams in areas and restrict large amounts of
snowmelt from draining from an area.
All existing storm systems were shown to convey the 100-year snowmelt runoff peak flow for all
basins with the exception of all dry wells, which could not contain the 2-year temperature event
cumulative volume nor attenuate any snowmelt frequency peak flow. All modeled retention,
detention, and underground infiltration basins were also inherently able to retain the 100-year
snowmelt volume. However, the private underground detention tank P03-N16 was unable to
contain the 2-year snowmelt peak flow. Snowmelt summary tables are highlighted to designate
areas that had no storm system and had the potential of flooding and also areas that had known
reported areas of snowmelt flooding on Table 4.6.

SECTION FIVE
ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT
April 2015 5-1 | Alternative Development
5 Section 5 FIVE Alt ernative D evelopment
5.1 INTRODUCTION
To manage stormwater runoff in the study area, alternatives for flood control were developed
conceptually so that feasibility and cost of flood control projects could be estimated and
compared. Generally, two basic strategies to mitigate flood hazards and improve water quality
aspects were investigated for each basin: 1) sub-regional detention and, 2) conveyance
improvements that include storm sewer improvements. In addition to these two design
approaches, two additional scenarios were considered when developing each alternative for each
major basin: 1) the “With Easements” scenario that minimizes storm sewer system costs by using
the shortest feasible route and obtaining easements to cross private lands and, 2) the “Minimal or
Without Easements” scenario, which uses longer storm sewer routes to minimize or eliminate
private easements for each alternative to reduce cost due to the expensive cost of land in the
study area.
The objective of this alternatives evaluation was to identify cost effective measures to control
stormwater runoff from the study area watersheds such that: 1) runoff can be conveyed safely
within existing and proposed infrastructure, 2) the potential for damages to conveyances and
buildings within each watershed from the design flood is reduced, and 3) flood control measures
can be implemented effectively as development occurs and funding becomes available. After a
feasible alternative was identified, it was conceptually designed according to established project
criteria and modeled using InfoSWMM and other hydraulic software to confirm performance.
After hydraulic modeling confirmed performance, conceptual-level cost estimates were prepared
to assess and compare the cost effectiveness of each feasible alternative. This evaluation
includes a listing of structural and conveyance improvements with the estimated total cost for
each, and considering the benefits for each alternative. The costs account for property
acquisition required for locating detention facilities and pipe alignments as well as estimating
costs to design and construct the project. Other continuing costs, such as operation and
maintenance, are not considered.
Benefits identified include:
• Areas made to convey the 100-year event without flooding
• Reduction in the frequency of roadway overtopping or flooding
• Storm systems designed to handle either the 5- or 10-year events
• Reduction of long-term maintenance costs
Implementation costs and benefits associated with each alternative were reviewed and one
alternative for each basin was selected as the suggested plan for consideration by Aspen.
5.2 GOALS, CRITERIA, AND CONSTRAINTS
Wherever possible, the criteria and methods used to develop detention and conveyance
requirements follow the Aspen URMP and Engineering Standards (References 1 and 9). The
minor (initial) design storms are either the 5- or 10-year event, and the major design storm is the
100-year event. Some of the urbanized parts of Aspen are served by existing storm sewer
P143

systems and major outfalls that have less capacity than needed to convey the minor event. Many
areas lack any storm sewer system at all. Providing 100-year storm sewer outfalls in these areas
would be extremely costly and not standard practice, so major storm sewer outfall improvements
in highly urbanized areas are sized for the minor (5- or 10-year) events.
Each alternative was developed to reduce flood impacts to public and private property, especially
property that is highly developed and major roadway crossings. Alternatives were developed to
also consider cost effectiveness and implementation.
5.2.1 Flood Impacts
Several reaches within the study area were shown to have flooding during the 100-year event
(See Figure 2.7). These modeled floodplain extents show a high flood risk to private structures
during the 100-year event as well as impede travel along major roadways throughout Aspen.
The relative flood risks for each basin were presented previously in Section 3.
5.2.2 Cost Effectiveness
Construction costs were estimated for each alternative and compared to other alternatives, along
with an evaluation of how well each alternative addresses previously mentioned drainage
problem areas in Section 3. The criteria and process for estimating right-of-way and the
financial costs, such as the use of assessor’s data for property costs in Pitkin County, was
established using parcel GIS data costs obtained from Aspen and estimating the limits of
disturbance based on the proposed structures size and depth. Cost effectiveness depends not
only on the bottom line construction cost, but also the benefits of the cost expenditure in
achieving all the goals of this Master Plan.
5.2.3 Implementation
To be effective, the preferred alternative for each major basin must be implementable as
development occurs, or in a sequence that allows the improvements to fully function as designed
after they are constructed, so benefits are immediately realized and the adverse impacts to the
watershed are controlled. This drives project phasing recommendations. If a developer is
dependent on improvements disconnected from the site to mitigate impacts, other requirements
may be placed on the developer to control stormwater release rates. The overall purpose of this
Master Plan is to propose mitigation for flood impacts, which can be implemented cost
effectively and sequentially by Aspen, various stakeholders, and individual developers.
The proposed solutions are conceptual. Alterations to this plan can be made, but should not
reduce the effectiveness for flood control.
5.3 CONCEPTUAL ALTERNATIVES
Basic flood control concepts considered for each basin are listed in Table 5.1. The Conveyance
alternative consists of releasing all stormwater runoff without any new detention. This
alternative would require that culverts and storm sewer outfalls in the study reaches be sized to
convey the estimated peak flows. Detention can be used to reduce stormwater flows from
upstream areas in the watersheds, and the Detention alternative examines this scenario for
potential detention sites in each watershed (if possible) where existing downstream infrastructure
does not have adequate capacity or to minimize proposed storm system costs downstream.

5.3.1 Detention
For this alternative, two potential detention pond areas were identified in the Gibson Avenue
Basin and the Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basins and where iteratively sized within the space
available to attempt to alleviate peak flows further downstream. The Gibson Avenue Basin
proposed detention area is located at storage P01-G03ALT (See Figure 2.3) where there is an
existing underground infiltration basin facility in place. This proposed detention area is
approximately 6.5 feet deep with a footprint equal to approximately 0.16 acres. The Neale
Avenue & OK Flats Basin proposed detention area is located south of Park Circle road in an
existing open field at storage P04-N15ALT, just north of the Smuggler Racquet Club. This
proposed detention pond was conceptually sized to be 10 feet deep with a maximum surface area
of approximately 0.25 acres based on the space available. Characteristics and performance
metrics for the sub-regional detention pond alternatives are summarized in Table 5.2. Both of
these detention alternatives require easements for the proposed piped storm sewer system. No
water quality capture volume (WQCV) was considered in the development of these detention
alternatives.

5.3.2 Conveyance
For this alternative, culverts and storm system networks are sized for either the 5- or 10-year
events using existing conditions land use. No new on-site or regional detention is proposed for
conveyance alternatives. Overflow from existing or proposed systems are contained in the rural
or urban roadway cross section, where available capacity is estimated based on the capacity of
the standard roadway cross sections shown in Aspen’s Design Standards. An 18-inch reinforced
concrete pipe (RCP) is the smallest proposed storm conveyance structure recommended in each
basin’s alternative analysis. In many instances, with the exception of the alternatives proposed
for the Riverside McSkimming Basin, the minimum proposed 18-inch RCP size was adequate to
convey the 10-year event, eliminating the 5-year event alternative.
To evaluate the “Minimal or Without Easements” scenario, conveyance alternatives for the
Gibson Avenue and Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basins were combined to keep the proposed
storm sewer system alignments within the road right-of-way. This was also done for the
Eastwood and Stillwater Bridge Basins. The “With Easement” scenario was also evaluated on
these combined basins for comparison.
5.3.3 Easements
Several alternatives required easements on private land for the proposed storm sewer system
alignments. Each of these locations are shown on Figures 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4 for the Hunter
Creek Basin, Combined Gibson Avenue and Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basins, Riverside
McSkimming Basin, and Combined Eastwood and Stillwater Bridge Basins, respectively, and
are discussed in the subsequent sections.
Easement areas for certain piped sections were calculated based on criteria outlined in Chapter
12 of the City of Springfield, Missouri’s Drainage Criteria Manual (Reference 10), which
provides a generalized method for estimating needed easement area. This was the only available
source found that outlined, in detail, a methodology to estimate easement area extents for buried
storm pipe based on depth and pipe size. The criteria states that if the depth of the pipe is less
than 4 feet deep, the minimal easement width of 10 feet should be used. If the pipe depth is
greater than 4 feet, the pipe diameter was summed with median pipe depth multiplied by 2, plus
an additional foot to determine the easement width. The final calculated easement width was
multiplied by the pipe length in the easement area and multiplied by estimated land cost per
square foot. Land parcel cost data obtained from Aspen (2012) was used to estimate the cost per
square foot.
5.4 STORMWATER ALTERNATIVES
Alternative plans examined for each basin in the study area are described in the following
paragraphs. Alternatives suggested for implementation based on least construction costs that still
achieve conveyance goals are illustrated schematically on Figures 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4 for the
Hunter Creek Basin, Combined Gibson Avenue and Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basins, Riverside
McSkimming Basin, and Combined Eastwood and Stillwater Bridge Basins, respectively, at the
end of this section. Hydraulic performance for each alternative is summarized in Table 5.3. The
supporting analysis for each alternative is included in Appendix E.

April 2015 5-5 | Alternative Development
5.4.1 Hunter Creek Basin
5-Year Detention Alternative: No detention sites were identified in the Hunter Creek basin
because no undeveloped land was available within the basin with sufficient area to provide
effective storm runoff flow attenuation or water quality benefits.
10-Year Detention Alternative: No detention sites were identified in the Hunter Creek basin
because no undeveloped land was available within the basin with sufficient area to provide
effective storm runoff flow attenuation or water quality benefits.
5-Year Conveyance Alternative: Currently, there is no existing system within the Hunter
Creek basin. The recommended minimum storm sewer (18-inch RCP) was estimated to be able
to convey the 10-year event; therefore, the need to for a 5-year conveyance alternative was
eliminated.
10-Year Conveyance Alternative: An 18-inch RCP storm sewer system is proposed beginning
at D06-H03 to run along Spruce Street, curve to the west at Williams Way, and outfall to an
existing ditch as Williams Way turns to the north. The storm flows will then continue in the
existing ditch through undeveloped, wooded areas to discharge into Hunter Creek. The proposed
system running along Spruce Street will capture upstream runoff within the basin, alleviating
flooding at the known flooding areas at the intersection of Spruce Street and Spruce Court and
further south along Spruce Street, and was estimated to be able to convey up to the 100-year
event. This improvement only affects a single property with known flooding issues and will
require an easement for construction. Therefore, this proposed improvement will be tied to
future improvements and/or development on that property.
5.4.2 Gibson Avenue Basin
5-Year Detention Alternative: Using the minimum recommended 18-inch RCP for proposed
storm sewer improvements coupled with the maximum amount of attenuation possible within the
available existing detention area at P01-G03, the proposed downstream storm sewer system is
able to convey the 10-year event which eliminated the need for a 5-year detention alternative.
10-Year Detention Alternative: A conceptual detention pond located upstream of Teal Court
in the area of the current underground seepage basin on Williams Ranch (P01-G03ALT) was
evaluated and found to attenuate the 10-year event without overtopping. To form the detention
pond, a 2.5-ft berm with 4h:1V side slopes is proposed adjacent to the Teal Court parking lot,
along with removal of the current underground seepage system and excavation of the area to
yield approximately 0.27 ac-ft of detention to the spillway and 0.47 ac-ft to the pond crest. The
total depth of the detention pond is 6.5 feet to the pond crest and 5 feet to the spillway crest. A
3-inch rectangular orifice outlet structure was sized iteratively in the InfoSWMM model. During
the 100-year event, this pond and outlet configuration would overtop the spillway by
approximately 0.4 feet (approximately 11 cfs). The pond offers minimal attenuation during the
100-year event but attenuates the 10-year event from approximately 4 cfs to 0.7 cfs, yielding a
10-year event peak reduction of approximately of 83 percent. The detention pond and piping
network through the Teal Court parking lot will require a private easement.
Although the proposed Gibson Avenue Basin detention pond offers a high percent reduction in
peak flow during the 10-year event, these flows are still relatively low and do little to minimize
peak flows further downstream along Lone Pine Road.

5-6 | Alternative Development April 2015
With the proposed detention pond, there are still a number of conveyance improvements needed
to be able to convey runoff from 10-year storm event to the Roaring Fork River without possible
flooding within the Gibson Avenue Basin. A 24-inch RCP storm sewer is proposed from D03-
G02 to the proposed detention pond. From the detention pond, the 3-inch rectangular orifice
outlet structure discharges to an 18-inch RCP storm sewer system that runs through the
Centennial Condominiums common area to Spruce Street. The 18-inch system continues along
Spruce Street until it curves to the east, to Walnut Street, turns north and drains along Lone Pine
Road. Two 18-inch storm sewers are proposed at G05 and G13. The G05 storm sewer is
proposed to collect upstream runoff currently routed to an existing undersized cross-culvert. The
G13 storm sewer is proposed to collect street runoff along Lone Pine Road from the intersection
of the cross culvert and the proposed 18-inch RCP storm system to D27-G06, where the system
is proposed to be upsized to a 24-inch RCP system that ties into the existing 24-inch CMP that
outfalls to the Roaring Fork River at OFALL-1.
A separate, 18-inch RCP storm sewer is proposed to collect runoff and ditch flow at the River
Bluff Townhomes and tie into the proposed Lone Pine Road system at the parking lot entrance.
5-Year Conveyance Alternative: The Gibson Avenue Basin was combined with the Neale
Avenue & OK Flats Basin to minimize cost and easement locations for the conveyance
alternative. The recommended minimum 18-inch RCP storm sewer was estimated to be able to
convey the 10-year event; therefore, the need for a 5-year conveyance alternative was eliminated.
10-Year Conveyance Alternative: The 10-year conveyance alternative for the Gibson Avenue
Basin was combined with the Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basin to minimize cost and easement
locations. The combined conveyance alternative for these two basins is described in Section
5.4.4.
5.4.3 Neale Avenue and OK Flats Basin
5-Year Detention Alternative: Using the minimum recommended 18-inch RCP for proposed
storm sewer improvements coupled with the maximum amount of attenuation possible within the
available detention area at P04-N15ALT, the proposed downstream storm system can convey the
10-year event which eliminated the need for a 5-year detention alternative.
10-Year Detention Alternative: A conceptual detention pond located on the south side of Park
Circle on the undeveloped northern portion of the Smuggler Racquet Club parcel (P04-N15ALT)
was evaluated and found to attenuate the 10-year event without overtopping. The detention pond
is comprised of a berm with 4H:1V sides slopes proposed to skirt around the southwest corner of
the area coupled with some excavation to yield approximately 0.32 ac-ft to the spillway and 0.55
ac-ft to the pond crest. The total depth of the detention pond is 7 feet to the pond crest and 5.25
feet to the spillway crest. A 2-inch orifice outlet structure was sized iteratively in the
InfoSWMM model. During the 100-year event, this pond would overtop the spillway by
approximately 0.7 feet (approximately 17 cfs). The pond offers no significant attenuation during
the 100-year event but attenuates the 10-year event from approximately 3.1 cfs to 0.2 cfs,
yielding a 10-year event peak reduction of approximately 94 percent.
Although the proposed Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basin detention pond offers a high percent
reduction in peak flow during the 10-year event, these flows are still relatively low and do little
to minimize peak flows further downstream along Park Circle.
With the proposed Smuggler Racquet Club detention pond, there are still a number of
conveyance improvements needed to be able to convey runoff from 10-year storm event to the
P148
I.
April 2015 5-7 | Alternative Development
Roaring Fork River without possible flooding within the Neale Avenue & OK Flats basin. An
18-inch RCP storm sewer is proposed to begin at N11 on Silverlode Drive that collects runoff to
the intersection of Park Circle and then runs under Park Circle to the proposed Smuggler
Racquet Club detention pond. The 2-inch orifice outlet structure discharges into a downstream
18-inch storm sewer system that runs back to and parallel Park Circle to J17-N17 at the
intersection of Park Circle and Brown Lane.
A separate proposed storm sewer originates at the intersection of Brown Lane and Nicholas Lane
where an 18-inch RCP is proposed southwest of the intersection of Brown Lane at D15-N12 to
existing inlets on either side of the road, just before the intersection with Park Circle. The
existing dual inlet system is proposed to be reconnected with an 18-inch RCP to the confluence
with the Park Circle system. It was unclear whether this existing storm sewer was originally
connected to the private underground detention tank under the Centennial Condominiums to the
west. The proposed system is assumed to not be connected to the underground tank and to
continue parallel to Park Circle with an 18-inch RCP to the intersection with Gibson Avenue
where the system crosses private property onto East Francis Street and will require an easement.
The system continues in 24-inch RCP on East Francis Street to D20-N25 where it continues
along the road and through another private property area until it outfalls to the Roaring Fork
River at OFALL-6.
A separate 18-inch storm system is proposed along King Street that will connect to the Neale
Avenue storm system at the King Street and Neale Avenue intersection to alleviate a known
flooding area. The stretch along Neale Avenue from Gibson Avenue to Queen Street is proposed
to be replaced by 36-inch RCPs to accommodate the incoming proposed storm sewer system
from King Street. All other existing pipe sections were estimated to be able to convey the
10-year event.
5-Year Conveyance Alternative: The Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basin was combined with the
Gibson Avenue Basin to minimize cost and easement locations for the conveyance alternative.
The recommended minimum 18-inch RCP storm sewer was estimated to be able to convey the
10-year event; therefore the need for a 5-year conveyance alternative was eliminated.
10-Year Conveyance Alternative: The 10-year conveyance alternative for the Neale Avenue &
OK Flats Basin Gibson Avenue Basin was combined with the Gibson Avenue Basin to minimize
cost and easement locations. The combined conveyance alternative for these two basins is
described in Section 5.4.4.
5.4.4 Combined Gibson Avenue and Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basins
Conveyance Alternatives
To simplify the conveyance alternatives and minimize proposed storm sewer construction and
required easements, the Gibson Avenue and Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basins were combined
into one alternative. The following sections describe each alternative in detail.
5-Year Conveyance Alternatives: The recommended minimum 18-inch RCP storm sewer was
estimated to be able to convey the 10-year event; therefore, the need for 5-year conveyance
alternatives for the combined Gibson Avenue and Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basins was
eliminated.

5-8 | Alternative Development April 2015
10-Year Conveyance Alternative (With Minimal Easements): For the 10-year conveyance
alternative with minimal easements, the combined Gibson Avenue and Neale Avenue & OK
Flats Basin model redirected flow from the upper reaches of the Gibson Avenue Basin to Park
Circle. The upper existing storm sewer systems collecting runoff from sub-basins G01, G02, and
G03 are allowed to flow into the existing underground seepage facility at P01-G03ALT and
several in-line dry wells. During a significant storm event (the 25-year event or greater), runoff
overflows this seepage area and spills into the Teal Court parking lot where the proposed storm
sewer system begins. An 18-inch RCP storm sewer system is proposed to begin in Teal Court at
D25-G05 and will require an easement along the proposed alignment until the intersection with
Williams Ranch Court. The system continues down Brown Lane where it intersects with the
proposed Park Circle system. This reach is known as the Brown Lane Branch in Table 5.3.
The proposed system along Park Circle, known as the Main Gibson Avenue Basin and Neale
Avenue & OK Flats Combined Main Stem in Table 5.3 begins at N11 as an 18-inch RCP along
Silverlode Drive. The proposed piped network then heads downhill where it takes a sharp turn
toward the northwest along Park Circle. After connecting with the Brown Lane Branch, the
system continues down Park Circle as an 18-inch RCP it takes a turn down Gibson Avenue and
is upsized to a 24-inch RCP at D34-G07. The final reach of the combined main stem continues
down Gibson Avenue as a 24-inch RCP to where it joins the existing outfall from a previous 24-
inch CMP section at OFALL-3.
A small separate 18-inch RCP storm sewer is proposed along East Francis Street in the
Oklahoma Flats area. This system begins at N25 and follows East Francis Street to where it
requires a private easement before discharging into the Roaring Fork River at OFALL-6.
Another separate storm sewer is proposed to replace an assumed 8-inch polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) pipe that discharges into a private detention area at D08-G08. An 18-inch RCP is
proposed to collect flow from the existing ditch at G08 and discharge into this private detention
area. This 18-inch RCP improvement will require a private easement. The detention area was
not modeled to estimate the attenuation for peak flows as it is small and has a relatively high
normal pool. The detention pond overflows into an undersized 6-inch CMP but overflow is
conveyed into a road side ditch along Red Mountain Road. An existing 12-inch CMP at D10-
G10 collects the overflow and discharges to the Roaring Fork River at OFALL-2. This existing
12-inch CMP was shown to have 100-year capacity with this combined basin storm system.
The rest of the storm sewer improvements for this combined conveyance alternative are identical
to the 10-year detention alternatives for the Gibson Avenue Basin and the Neale Avenue & OK
Flats Basin as described in Sections 5.4.2 and 5.4.3.
All other existing piped systems were shown to be able to convey the 10-year event with this
combined configuration.
5.4.5 Riverside McSkimming Basin
The Riverside McSkimming Basin has four proposed alternatives. Two proposed alternatives
that can convey up to the 5-year event; one with easements to minimize construction costs and
one with minimal easements to minimize easements cost to the overall project. The same
minimal easements and with easements scenarios are also proposed for systems that can convey
the 10-year event. The following sub-sections describe these proposed alternatives in detail.
P150
I.
April 2015 5-9 | Alternative Development
5-Year Detention Alternative: No detention sites were identified in the Riverside
McSkimming basin because no undeveloped land was available within the basin with sufficient
area to provide effective storm runoff flow attenuation or water quality benefits.
10-Year Detention Alternative: No detention sites were identified in the Riverside
McSkimming basin because no undeveloped land was available within the basin with sufficient
area to provide effective storm runoff flow attenuation or water quality benefits.
5-Year Conveyance Alternative (With Easements): The Riverside McSkimming basin has
two main proposed storm systems: the East Cooper Avenue (OFALL-06) and East Hopkins
Avenue outfalls (OFALL-10). All other drainage areas in the basin were considered direct flow
areas to the Roaring Fork River.
The proposed East Hopkins Avenue Outfall consists of two main southern and northern storm
systems. The proposed northern system begins as an 18-inch RCP starting close to the beginning
of Midland Park Place at D20-R07 where it runs along Midland Avenue to the intersection for
Park Avenue and Regent Street at D31-R05. An easement would be needed from D29-R07 to
R07 to connect to the existing system. From this proposed system confluence, the piped system
is upgraded to a 24-inch RCP. The 24-inch RCP northern system continues to the confluence
with the southern system at the intersection of Park Avenue an East Hopkins Avenue at D22-R10
and then to the proposed storm sewer system outfall to the Roaring Fork River at OFALL-06.
The East Hopkins Avenue southern system has two sections: one that begins as an 18-inch RCP
at the beginning of Mascotte Lane at D21-R05 and the other beginning as an 18-inch RCP at the
intersection of Ardmore Drive and Ardmore Court at D25-R08. The two sections meet at the
intersection of Midland Avenue and Smuggler Grove Road at D35-R05 where the southern
system flows to the intersection of Midland Avenue and East Hopkins Avenue. An easement is
required through a private property in the southern branch from D33-R05 to D34-R05. The
southern system then continues along East Hopkins Avenue to the main system confluence with
the northern branch at the intersection of Park Avenue and East Hopkins Avenue at D22-R10.
The aesthetic ponds in the area that contribute to this proposed system (P04-R08 and P03-R08S)
were modeled as full during the simulation to be conservative with the proposed storm system
capacity and provided minimal attenuation during all storm events.
The proposed East Cooper Avenue storm sewer system begins at the lower end of Eastwood
Drive at D06-R11 as an 18-inch RCP where it continues northwest along Eastwood Drive then
cuts to the southwest through a private parcel to Highway 82 that will require an easement from
D09-R09 to D10-R09. The proposed system then continues northwest along Highway 82 as a
18-inch RCP as it turns into East Cooper Avenue and outfalls to the Roaring Fork River at
OFALL-10. An 18-inch RCP storm sewer is proposed at the downstream end of Lacet Lane at
D16-R17 which will discharge into the main East Cooper Avenue storm sewer system at the
intersection of Midland Avenue and East Cooper Avenue. All other existing evaluated systems
and pipes were shown to have 5-year capacity.
5-Year Conveyance Alternative (With Minimal Easements): The 5-year conveyance
alternative with minimal easements includes one piped system change within the proposed East
Hopkins Avenue proposed storm system relative to the scenario with easements. The south
system at D33-R05 is connected to the north system at D21-R05, eliminating two sections to
create one large southern branch. It also eliminates the private easement and reach along
Smuggler Grove Road, decreasing costs for the overall proposed alternative. The easement
along the East Cooper Avenue Outfall system (D09-R09 to D10-R09) still remains for this
P151
I.
5-10 | Alternative Development April 2015
option as there is no alternative route to avoid private easements in this area and still capture and
convey runoff safely from private residences. All pipe sizes remain the same as the easement
alternative for the 5-year event.
10-Year Conveyance Alternative (With Easements): The 10-year conveyance alternative with
easements resembles the 5-year conveyance storm systems with easements with pipe size
upgrades to convey the 10-year event. The proposed East Cooper Avenue storm system requires
a 24-inch RCP from R19 to the systems outfall at OFALL-10. Easements are required from
D29-R07 to R07, D33-R05 to D34-R05, and D09-R09 to D10-R09. All other proposed
alignments and pipe sizes for the 10-year conveyance alternative with easements are identical to
the 5-year conveyance alternative with easements.
10-Year Conveyance Alternative (With Minimal Easements): The 10-year conveyance
alternative with minimal easements resembles the storm sewer system alignments for the 5-year
conveyance alternative with minimal easements. The proposed East Cooper Avenue storm
system requires a 24-inch RCP from R19 to the outfall at OFALL-10. All other proposed
alignments and pipe sizes for the 10-year conveyance alternative with easements are identical to
the 5-year conveyance alternative with minimal easements (as a single easement from D09-R09
to D10-R09). All other proposed storm system alignments and existing pipes were shown to
have 10-year capacity.
5.4.6 Combined Eastwood and Stillwater Bridge Basins Conveyance Alternatives
The Eastwood and Stillwater Bridge Basins were combined to minimize private easements and
construction costs. Each alternative has a scenario that either contains private easements to
minimize construction and itemized costs or eliminates easements to minimize the overall costs
for the alternative. The following sub-sections describe each alternative in detail.
5-Year Detention Alternative: No detention sites were identified in either of the Eastwood or
Stillwater Bridge basins because no undeveloped land was available within the basin with
sufficient area to provide effective storm runoff flow attenuation or water quality benefits.
10-Year Detention Alternative: No detention sites were identified in either of the Eastwood or
Stillwater Bridge basins because no undeveloped land was available within the basin with
sufficient area to provide effective storm runoff flow attenuation or water quality benefits.
5-Year Conveyance Alternative: The recommended minimum 18-inch RCP storm sewer was
estimated to be able to convey the 10-year event; therefore, the need for 5-year conveyance
alternatives for the combined Eastwood and Stillwater Bridge Basins was eliminated.
10-Year Conveyance Alternative (With Easements): The combined Eastwood and Stillwater
Bridge Basins 10-year conveyance alternative with easements is mainly comprised of two
separate proposed storm sewer systems: The Stillwater Bridge Basin storm system and the
Eastwood Basin storm system. The proposed Stillwater Bridge storm system consists of a main
stem and a south system. The main stem starts at D13-S03 along Mountain Laurel Drive as an
18-inch RCP. The system heads to the north, following Mountain Laurel Drive until it intersects
with West Lupine Drive and follows West Lupine Drive south. At the intersection of Lupine
Drive and East Lupine Drive the alignment turns toward the southwest down Lupine Drive
where at Highway 82 (S09) the pipe system is upsized to a 24-inch RCP and jacked under the
highway to D19-S10. The final reach requires a private easement to outfall to the Roaring Fork
River at OFALL-3. The south system begins at D02-S06, on the other side of a high point along
Mountain Laurel Drive and heads to the south, following the road as an 18-inch RCP. The south
P152
I.
April 2015 5-11 | Alternative Development
system follows Mountain Laurel Drive until D03-S04 where the alignment crosses a private
easement to meet East Lupine Drive to the west. The system then runs north along East Lupine
Drive where it turns to the west at D06-S10 to cross a private easement to join with the main
stem at D07-S10, just before crossing Highway 82.
The Eastwood Basin proposed storm system begins just downstream of the intersection of
Northway Drive and Westview Drive at D12-E02 as an 18-inch RCP. The proposed system then
heads south along Northway Drive where it turns toward the east along Roaring Fork Drive and
follows the road until Highway 82. At Highway 82 (D18-E02) the pipe size is increased to a 24-
inch RCP before being jacked underneath the highway and directed toward the intersection of
Stillwater Drive. The final reach of the proposed storm system follows Stillwater Drive until
discharging downstream of the bridge at OFALL-01.
10-Year Conveyance Alternative (With No Easements): This combined Eastwood and
Stillwater Bridge Basins alternative eliminates the need for any private easements to minimize
costs and closely resembles the 10-year conveyance alternative with easements with a few
modifications. First, the south section of the Stillwater Bridge storm system is altered at D03-
S04 to continue along Mountain Laurel Drive as an 18-inch RCP to East Lupine Drive where it
turns to the northwest and continues along East Lupine Drive to D05-S07 and follows the road
toward the north to Lupine Drive and joins the main stem at D31-S10.
The main stem requires the storm system to be upsized to a 30-inch RCP at Highway 82 (S09)
before being jacked under the highway toward Stillwater Drive where it joins the Eastwood
Basin storm system at D32-E06. The final reach of combined Eastwood Basin and Stillwater
Bridge Basin storm systems continues down Stillwater Drive as a 30-inch RCP before
discharging into the Roaring Fork River on the downstream side of the bridge at OFALL-01. A
small storm sewer collects flow along Highway 82, beginning at D07-S10 as an 18-inch RCP,
and joins with the Stillwater Basin storm system main stem at S09.
The Eastwood Basin storm system is identical to the 10-year conveyance easement scenario as
no easements were required for this alignment.

5.5 ALTERNATIVE COST ESTIMATES
The capital costs of detention and structure improvements, conveyance improvements, and local
structure improvements alternatives were estimated by assembling necessary design
requirements using the previously discussed criteria, and estimating the unit costs of each
component in a set of improvements.
Unit costs for each proposed item for each alternative were calculated based on the 2011, 2012,
and 2013 Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) cost data as well as recorded costs
from Ute Avenue work in Aspen in 2013 and the UD-MP Cost software from UDFCD (Version
2.2). Available values for each cost item were averaged and a 20% location adjustment was
added to account for inflation and uncertainty of costs for obtaining and transporting materials to
Aspen. These unit costs are presented in the “Unit Cost Database” spreadsheet in Appendix F.
Land acquisition costs were included for the detention facilities in the alternatives analysis, and
for other improvements on private land. Land easement costs are listed in the cost estimation
calculation packet in Appendix F.
Culvert costs are based on a per linear foot of pipe with flared end sections or two wing walls as
appropriate, complete-in-place, with the estimated number of manholes needed for the system.
The cost of detention ponds is based on the cubic yards of excavation and embankment, an
estimated cost for an outlet structure, and the cost of the land required for the facility.
Design engineering costs are added to the total cost of each alternative as 20 percent of the
construction costs. Construction contingencies (30 percent) are also added to the total
construction cost of each alternative to account for such items as utility relocations, mobilization,
temporary erosion control, and construction engineering.
Operations and maintenance costs have not been specifically estimated for the improvements;
however, given the nature of the proposed improvements, maintenance should be limited to
periodic inspection and sediment removal.
Permitting costs have also not been specifically estimates for the improvements, as the permits
may vary based on final configuration of a given project.
The total estimated capital costs for each alternative are based on the sum of the cost of the
proposed facilities, plus costs for engineering and construction contingencies. Detailed cost
estimates for each alternative for each basin are included in Table 5.4.

5.6 DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the evaluation of project benefits, and cost effectiveness, the preferred alternatives
suggested for implementation are projects listed in Table 5.5. These chosen alternatives were
primarily based on the least amount of cost compared to the other alternatives for each basin.
The 10-year conveyance alternative with limited easements in Riverside McSkimming was
chosen over the 5-year conveyance alternative with limited easements because of the small cost
upgrade to achieve a 10-year system over a 5-year capacity system.
All basins have conveyance improvements proposed. The proposed detention alternatives
provided little attenuation of peak flows in the upper reaches of each basin to affect flows
downstream and proved to be extremely expensive. The locations of these chosen improvements
are shown on Figures 5.1 through 5.4.

6 Conceptual Design
6.1 CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OVERVIEW
Based on the evaluation of the proposed improvement benefits and cost effectiveness, the
preferred alternatives for each major basin have been selected, as discussed in Section 5.6 and
summarized in Table 5.5. These projects were designed conceptually to confirm performance
and probable construction cost.
Generally, the overall objectives of implementing drainage and flood control alternatives in
Aspen are to:
1. Remove buildings from the 100-year floodplain and reduce flooding.
2. Improve public safety.
3. Improve stormwater quality.
4. Limit costs by reducing land acquisition needed for easements.
5. Leverage cost sharing opportunities.
The elements of the conceptual design of the selected projects are summarized in this section.
Each selected alternative is described in detail in Section 6.6 with conceptual drawings presented
in Appendix G. Per direction from Aspen, only those improvements within the City’s
jurisdiction are included in the final Proposed Improvements Plan shown on the conceptual
drawings.
6.2 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
As part of master planning for urbanizing watersheds, it is generally recommended that Aspen
implement the following:
• Continue implementing water quality treatment as much as practicable throughout Aspen
in accordance with the standards in Chapter 8 of the URMP.
• Coordinate with Pitkin County and the Smuggler Mine to ensure that Smuggler Mountain
Road is maintained with positive drainage to the existing cross culverts.
• Many basins in this Master Plan have significant area within Pitkin County’s jurisdiction.
Alternatives were proposed for those areas, but were not included in the conceptual
design, per Aspen’s direction. Coordinate future improvement projects with Pitkin
County to leverage funding and increase functionality by including the upstream areas.
• Coordinate with existing and future land owners to align these proposed improvements
with future development such as the private property within the Hunter Creek basin
where proposed improvements will be tied to the single affected land parcel and will be
the obligation of the land owner.
6.3 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Aspen currently performs routine maintenance for City-owned storm sewer systems and those
within their right-of-way. Aspen manages sediment and debris accumulation by periodically
removing sediment from the inlets and storm sewer systems, and through street sweeping on a
P179

regular basis, which reduces the potential for accumulation within the storm sewer system and
promotes stormwater quality. However, there are a few maintenance issues related to dry wells,
snow removal storage, and roadway grading. Recommendations to enhance the current level of
service for these issues are noted below.
• Provide regular maintenance of existing dry wells in the study area by cleaning out any
accumulated silt and debris that affects the infiltration rate of collected stormwater in
each well.
• Provide regular maintenance to existing and proposed storm sewer networks to ensure the
conveyance capacity is not hindered during a major precipitation event.
• Provide designated snow storage areas that do not block any storm sewer systems, and
that would not drain to private property.
6.4 PRIORITIZING AND PHASING
Prioritization of the selected projects is shown in Table 6.1, and is based on an evaluation of the
projects effectiveness in meeting the study objectives using ranking criteria. Several criteria and
weighting percentages were selected to prepare the ranking of the suggested projects, and the
project ranking scores were calculated.
In addition, each project must be implementable, i.e., be constructible, financially feasible, and
environmentally sound. Each project was evaluated by assigning a number between 0 and 4,
where 0 = “no benefit” and 4 = “best benefit,” as follows:
Buildings Removed from the Floodplain: 0 = none, 1 = value <0.9 project cost, 2 = value of
0.9 to 1.5 project cost, 3 = value of 1.5 to 2 project cost, and 4 = value > 2x project cost. (Value
= Actual land cost taken from Aspen’s parcel dataset.)
Public Safety (pedestrian and motorist safety, emergency response and government
facilities): 0 = no improvement or N/A; 1 = local, residential street flooding within criteria; 2 =
collector, commercial street flooding within criteria; 3 = arterial, business/commercial-industrial
street flooding within criteria; and 4 = no highway or major transportation route overtopping,
emergency response facilities and access protected.
Water Quality Improvement Possible: 0 = none, no potential water quality location in basin; 2
= water quality location in basin but not near project or existing drainage system; 4 = water
quality location along proposed project alignment.
Requires Easement: 0 = easement cost > 3x project cost; 1 = easement cost > 1x project cost; 2
= easement cost > 0.5x project cost; 3 = easement cost > 0.25x project cost; 4 = no easement
required.
Cost Sharing Opportunities: 0 = none; 1 = < 10 percent of project costs paid by others; 2 = 10
to 25 percent of project costs paid by others; 3 = 25 to 50 percent of project costs paid by others;
4 = > 50 percent of project costs paid by others.
Implementability: 0 = outside of jurisdiction and not on any planning horizon; 1 = project not
on jurisdiction’s planning horizon but could be added; 2 = project is on planning horizon but
needs funding; 3 = project is on multiple entities’ planning horizons waiting on known funding;
4 = project is planned, funded, and ready for execution.

April 2015 6-3 | Alternative Development
Proposed project phasing over the next 10 years is suggested in Table 6.2. The proposed phasing
is driven by project rank, sequence with related projects, and by financing and cost sharing
opportunities with Pitkin County, CDOT, or other entities. Phasing is shown over only 10 years
due to the relative average cost of the projects related to Aspen’s existing budget priorities
(Reference 43). It should be revisited every year as part of Aspen’s budgeting process.

6.6 SELECTED PROJECTS BY BASIN
The selected projects described below reflect only the proposed improvements that are within
Aspen’s jurisdiction. The projects are shown on the conceptual drawings in Appendix G.
6.6.1 Combined Gibson Avenue and Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basins 10-year
Conveyance Alternative
To simplify the conveyance alternatives and minimize proposed storm sewer construction and
required easements, the Gibson Avenue and Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basins were combined
into one alternative. The selected alternative for this combined basin approach was the
Combined Gibson Avenue and Neale Avenue & OK Flats Basins 10-year Conveyance
Alternative with Minimal Easements. A new 18-inch RCP storm sewer system is proposed to
begin in Teal Court at D25-G05 and will require an easement along the proposed alignment until
the intersection with Williams Ranch Court. The system continues down Brown Lane where it
intersects with the proposed Park Circle system. This reach is known as the Brown Lane Branch.
This project is not highly ranked, but the project is tied to the mainstem Gibson Avenue
improvements, which are dependent on the functionality of this system.
The proposed system along Park Circle, known as the Main Gibson Avenue Basin and Neale
Avenue & OK Flats Combined Main Stem, begins at D22-N13 as an 18-inch RCP along Park
Circle and heads northwest toward Brown Lane. After connecting with the Brown Lane Branch,
the system continues down Park Circle as an 18-inch RCP it takes a turn down Gibson Avenue
and is upsized to a 24-inch RCP at D34-G07. The final reach of the combined main stem
continues down Gibson Avenue as a 24-inch RCP to where it joins the existing outfall from a
previous 24-inch CMP section at OFALL-3. This is the highest ranked project with significant
floodplain improvement and water quality potential with no easements required.
Two 18-inch storm sewers are proposed at G05 and G13. The G05 storm sewer is proposed to
collect upstream runoff currently routed to an existing undersized cross-culvert. The G13 storm
sewer is proposed to collect street runoff along Lone Pine Road from the intersection of the cross
P185

culvert and the proposed 18-inch RCP storm system to D27-G06, where the system is proposed
to be upsized to a 24-inch RCP system that ties into the existing 24-inch CMP. This existing
piped section outfalls to the Roaring Fork River at OFALL-1. This is amongst the lowest ranked
projects, because it requires an easement and there is no flooding to be resolved.
A small separate 18-inch RCP storm sewer is proposed along East Francis Street in the
Oklahoma Flats area. This system begins at N25 and follows East Francis Street to where it
requires a private easement before discharging into the Roaring Fork River at OFALL-6. This
Oklahoma Flats Outfall is amongst the highest ranked projects because it removes several
buildings from the floodplain and resolves a known deficiency in the area.
Another separate storm sewer, the River Bluff Townhomes Branch, is proposed to replace an
assumed 8-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe that discharges into a private detention area at
D08-G08. An 18-inch RCP is proposed to collect flow from the existing ditch at G08 and
discharge into this private detention area. This 18-inch RCP improvement will require a private
easement. The detention pond outlet is an undersized 6-inch CMP but overflow is conveyed into
a road side ditch along Red Mountain Road. An existing 12-inch CMP at D10-G10 collects the
overflow and discharges to the Roaring Fork River at OFALL-2. This existing 12-inch CMP
was shown to have 100-year capacity. This project is not highly rated due to the need for an
easement; however, there is potential for water quality in the area.
A separate 18-inch storm system is proposed along King Street that will connect to the Neale
Avenue storm system at the King Street and Neale Avenue intersection to alleviate a known
flooding area. The stretch along Neale Avenue from Gibson Avenue to Queen Street (N21 to
N23) is proposed to be replaced by 36-inch RCPs to accommodate the incoming proposed storm
sewer system from King Street. All other existing piped systems were shown to be able to
convey the 10-year event with this combined configuration. The Neale Avenue Storm System
project is dependent on the King Street Branch project for full functionality. Both projects are
not highly rates because easements are required; however, there is potential for water quality
improvements in the area.
6.6.2 Riverside McSkimming Basin 10-year Conveyance with Limited
Easements Alternative
The Riverside McSkimming basin has two main proposed storm systems: the East Cooper
Avenue (OFALL-06) and East Hopkins Avenue outfalls (OFALL-10).
The proposed East Hopkins Avenue Outfall consists of main southern and northern storm
systems. The proposed northern system begins as an 18-inch RCP starting close to the beginning
of Midland Park Place at D20-R07 where it runs along Midland Avenue to the intersection for
Park Avenue and Regent Street at D31-R05. From this proposed system confluence, the piped
system is upgraded to a 24-inch RCP. The 24-inch RCP northern system continues to the
confluence with the southern system at the intersection of Park Avenue an East Hopkins Avenue
at D22-R10 and then to the proposed storm sewer system outfall to the Roaring Fork River at
OFALL-06.
The East Hopkins Avenue southern system begins as an 18-inch RCP along Midland Avenue at
D27-R05 and travels south to the intersection at East Hopkins Avenue and then to the west
where it meets with the East Hopkins Avenue system at R10. The aesthetic ponds in the area
that contribute to this proposed system (P04-R08 and P03-R08S) were modeled as full during the
simulation to be conservative with the proposed storm system capacity and provided minimal
P186

attenuation during all storm events. The East Hopkins Outfall North Branch is highly ranked due
to removing floodplain areas, potential for water quality and cost sharing opportunities; however
the downstream reach is dependent on the East Hopkins Outfall South Branch for full
functionality. Therefore, the South Branch is phased with the North Branch.
The proposed East Cooper Avenue storm sewer system begins at the lower end of Eastwood
Drive at D06-R11 as an 18-inch RCP where it continues northwest along Eastwood Drive then
cuts to the southwest through a private parcel to Highway 82 that will require an easement from
D09-R09 to D10-R09. This reach from D09-R09 to Highway 82 (D10-R09) follows the natural
grade of the hillside and results in a relatively steep slope that can result high storm water flow
velocities. Final design of this section should include dissipaters to ensure the system is not
damaged during high flows resulting in high velocities. The proposed system then continues
northwest along Highway 82 as an 18-inch RCP as it turns into East Cooper Avenue and outfalls
to the Roaring Fork River at OFALL-10. The proposed East Cooper Avenue storm system
requires a 24-inch RCP from R19 to the outfall at OFALL-10. An 18-inch RCP is proposed to
be jacked underneath East Cooper Avenue from R14 and connect to the East Cooper Avenue
storm system at D12-R19 downstream of the intersection of McSkimming Road and East Cooper
Avenue. An 18-inch RCP storm sewer is proposed at the downstream end of Lacet Lane at D16-
R17 which will discharge into the main East Cooper Avenue storm sewer system at the
intersection of Midland Avenue and East Cooper Avenue. This project is not highly ranked
because but it does offer cost-sharing potential as well as improving public safety.
6.6.3 Combined Eastwood and Stillwater Bridge Basins 10-year Conveyance with
No Easements Alternative
The Eastwood Basin proposed storm system begins just downstream of the intersection of
Northway Drive and Westview Drive at D12-E02 as an 18-inch RCP. The proposed system then
heads south along Northway Drive where it turns toward the east along Roaring Fork Drive and
follows the road until Highway 82 at D18-E02 where the City limits end. This project improves
public safety along Highway 82 and has cost sharing potential, but it also requires an easement,
so it is amongst the middle rankings.

No comments were made.
II. PUBLIC COMMENT
Jay Maytin provided comment on his idea to alleviate traffic going out of town in the
afternoon by opening the bus lane going down valley on the north side of the highway
from the roundabout to Buttermilk to automobiles. The bus lane is a regulated and
federalized component of the Record of Decision, FEIS, BRT and was part of a vote on
the use of open space. Opening the bus lane to automobile traffic is not possible.

Ralph Trapani, Joe Kracum and Phil Hoffman-Parsons
No decision Needed: Information only
The meeting objective was to provide a review of the project purpose and need, scope an
update and inspire a visioning process. The project purpose and need is to improve mobility
between Brush Creek and Rubey Park, reduce the number of buses and congestion in Aspen,
enhance transit and support current policies on transportation. The project scope provides
transit ridership forecasting, an analysis of LRT and BRT from Brush Creek to Rubey Park
on the preferred alternative alignment and cost estimating of the LRT and BRT alternatives.
The October meeting provided an update on potential technology solutions as they may
apply to the project.
The January meeting included a review of the ridership forecast, current bus operations, a
discussion of the BRT and LRT alignment alternatives and traffic impacts.
At the March meeting, there will be an update on the UVMS schedule, ridership forecasts
for both LRT and BRT alternatives and capital, operations and maintenance costs of both
LRT and BRT alternatives

Entrance to Aspen Transportation Options Study
Task Order XX
Scope of Work
Background
As a supplement to the ITSP, RFTA has asked Parsons to analyze a fixed guideway (light rail) transit
connection versus the forecasted bus rapid transit system currently in place in regards to ridership,
capital expenditures, and operations and maintenance costs from Brush Creek to Rubey Park, Aspen.
Existing data and reports will be utilized. No new alignment studies will be conducted for the fixed
guideway (light rail) transit system or bus rapid transit alignments within the study area. All alignments
will be as per the preferred alternative from the Record of Decision of the Entrance to Aspen (ETA)
document, 1996. Existing data will be updated based on Reports noted in Task 2
Included in the transit evaluation are the following components:
•Transit systems (fixed guideway and BRT) scope and phasing
•Scan for emerging transit technologies
•Triggers for implementation (bus ridership, numbers of buses in town, cost effectiveness)
•Capital and operating costs
•Funding opportunities and constraints
•Implementation plan
As part of the analysis, Parsons will examine transit system impacts to traffic on SH82, including at the
intersections of SH82 and Brush Creek Road, at the Maroon Creek roundabout, and local city street
intersections in Aspen.
This scope of work does not include analyzing any other mode of transportation besides light rail transit
and bus rapid transit as described in the Preferred Alternative. It does not include identification and
screening of any other alternatives. Please see the New Transportation Alternatives and Full Screening
Study Scope of Work (“Large Scope) for the tasks involved with identifying and screening other
alternatives. The EOTC may also direct that other specific mode alternatives be included for screening
or for screening and comparison. If that is the case, the schedule and cost of this work program will be
adjusted accordingly.
Schedule
It is anticipated that Notice to Proceed will be August 1, 2016. This task order will be executed in parallel
with Stage II and III of the RFTA ITSP to allow for efficient use of staff and management of data sets.
The project duration is for a 10 month contract period, anticipated to end on June 1, 2017.

Task 1. Project Initiation and On-Going Management
This task order will be contracted through the RFTA master contract with Parsons. Parsons will be
managed by Pitkin County staff. Our point-of-contact with Pitkin County will be Brian Pettet, Director of
Public Works. EOTC staff from member jurisdictions will form a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to
provide direction and oversight for this task order. RFTA will provide a member to the TAC.
The purpose of this task is to initiate the work of the ETA task, and then manage the budget, schedule
and resources throughout the duration of the work.
Parsons will have an initial kick-off meeting with the TAC to discuss the scope of work and associated
schedule. During this initial kick-off meeting, we will discuss inputs and procedures. A detailed schedule
will be developed for and reviewed at the initial kick-off meeting.

AGNEDA ITEM SUMMARY
EOTC MEETING DATE: March 23, 2017
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Snowmass Village Connections to Bus Rapid Transit Service
STAFF RESPONSIBLE: David Peckler
ISSUE STATEMENT:
Snowmass Village wants to begin discussions with the entire Elected Officials Transportation
Committee (EOTC) on the potential for making improvements to the regional service
connections between Snowmass Village and the Intercept lot to provide enhanced service to the
VelociRFTA (BRT) service. During the spring, summer and fall the regional connections along
the trunk line between Snowmass Village and the Intercept lot are every 30 minutes (this drops
to once an hour during portions of the weekend daytime service in spring and fall.) Snowmass
Village would like to receive EOTC support to explore the potential of increasing regional
service from Snowmass Village to the Intercept lot to approximately every 15 minutes during
periods when the BRT service is operating. This headway would provide a commensurate level
of service that other municipalities within the EOTC receive and would make travelling on the
BRT service more viable going to/from Snowmass Village.
BACKGROUND:
BRT service began in the fall of 2013. This service improvement was confined to the Highway
82 corridor and there were no changes to the regional service other than some “Direct” buses
being switched to BRT service. In the winter it became apparent that merging the BRT service
with the Free Skier Shuttles could improve connections between Snowmass and the Intercept lot,
and now the fifteen minute headway is part of the regional winter service plan. Snowmass
Village would like to see this improvement extended into the other seasons during the hours of
BRT operation. Snowmass Village views this as a logical and equitable progression that is worth
exploring with the EOTC members.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Many details are still to be developed. Staff is working to determine the cost of this service
expansion using regional service in the summer and local service in the spring and fall. The local
service plan in the spring and fall is to use 45 minute loops to make connections to the BRT
service at the Intercept lot under the existing service contract. This approach is expected to
provide a minimum of 25% savings to the regional service costs. The summer service
improvements would be operated by the regional service.
RECOMMENDED EOTC ACTION:
No formal action is needed at this time. Once the analysis is complete, it will be brought back to
the EOTC for formal consideration.

The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) conducted a regional travel patterns study in 2014 of the Colorado
River Valley and Roaring Fork Valley from Parachute to Aspen. Previous studies were completed in 1998 and 2004.
The project was a cooperative effort of RFTA, Colorado DOT, and area counties and municipalities. The project was
conducted to provide local jurisdictions and planning agencies with information on travel demand within the study
area. This includes information about current and future needs for motor vehicles, for public transit and for walking
and bicycling. Data from the study was also used to develop travel forecasts and will help companies and agencies
design commuter support programs to address needed changes in travel choices.
The data collection methodology included two rounds of surveys, a winter and summer survey. The winter survey
targeted employees and employers within the study area. The summer survey targeted residents. A total of 1,679
surveys of residents and employees were collected (1,352 in the winter and 327 in the summer) and 110 employer
surveys were completed. The region was divided into 23 transportation analysis zones (TAZs) and all data will be
available at the TAZ level. A comprehensive report of the study’s finding will be available through RFTA in early 2015.

The data collection methodology included two rounds of surveys, a winter and summer survey. The winter survey
targeted employees and employers within the study area. The summer survey targeted residents. A total of 1,679
surveys of residents and employees were collected (1,352 in the winter and 327 in the summer) and 110 employer
surveys were completed. The region was divided into 23 transportation analysis zones (TAZs) and all data will be
available at the TAZ level. A comprehensive report of the study’s finding will be available through RFTA in early 2015.
