2013 Colorado Flooding Response
The 2nd Ave bridge in Lyons, Colo., was impacted as high flows on the St. Vrain River forced the river from its channel flowing through a park and ball field, washing out parts of 2nd Avenue as well as impacting the 2nd Avenue bridge before returning to its natural channel. Regional General Permit 96-07 is being used to authorize larger flood related repair projects not covered under the Nationwide Permits. The Denver Regulatory Office developed RGP 96-07 for flood related activities in Colorado. Activities still require review from the Denver Regulatory Office.
