City backs Samson–Robinson Gulch pond overhaul to improve maintenance and reduce sedimentation
Summary
An amendment from Mile High Flood District would fund reconstruction of the Samson–Robinson Gulch detention pond outlet and access to allow safer maintenance and address sedimentation problems; staff asked the committee to forward the item to council.
Staff described an IGA amendment from the Mile High Flood District to overhaul the Samson–Robinson Gulch detention pond, addressing sedimentation and poor maintenance access at the confluence where Samson and Robinson Gulch meet.
Presenters said the detention facility was built roughly 24 years ago without safe, accessible maintenance access and that sedimentation and flow patterns have limited operations’ ability to clear and manage the outlet. The amendment would fund a large reconstruction so crews can more easily access and maintain the pond and would bring the project to construction readiness early next year.
Staff asked the water policy committee if it supported moving the item to regular council for approval; the committee indicated support and the item will be forwarded.
