ERO Resources Corporation
Scope of Work for Environmental Services for
Brush Creek Restoration Project
Eagle County, Colorado
October 7, 2021
Background
Eagle County Open Space (Eagle County) has requested ERO Resources Corporation (ERO) prepare this
Scope of Work (SOW) to perform the environmental services discussed below for the Brush Creek
Restoration Project. The project would consist of targeted stream improvements along approximately
of 1 mile of Brush Creek through the Brush Creek Valley Ranch and Open Space property.
Brush Creek falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers due to a surface connection
to the Eagle River, a known jurisdictional water. The proposed project will likely require a certain level
of Section 404 permitting. This scope of work outlines the tasks anticipated for the environmental
services related to the project.
ERO proposes to partner with Geomorphic Science Solutions and Otak, Inc. to develop the restoration
design.
Task 1. Project and Agency Coordination
ERO will coordinate with Eagle County and project team during the project design. This includes
meeting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Eagle County, and project geomorphologists to discuss
potential impacts and mitigation approaches, permitting approach, and environmental concerns. ERO
assumes that up to three meetings with the project team to discuss project plans and permitting
requirements will be required.
ERO will coordinate with the Corps through emails and phone calls early in the project to review project
goals, site constraints, preliminary design, and potential unavoidable impacts on waters of the U.S., and
to determine the appropriate permitting approach.
Assumptions
• Up to three meetings with the project team to discuss the project.

Eagle County, Colorado
Task 2. Identify and Map Wetlands, Open Water, and Channels
A qualified ERO ecologist will delineate all wetlands, open waters, and channels within the project area
that may be under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) jurisdiction through Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act. Wetlands will be delineated following the methods in the revised online version of the
Corps' Wetland Delineation Manual (1987) and the appropriate regional supplement. Open water and
channels will be determined based on the presence of an ordinary high water mark as defined in 33 CFR
Part 328. ERO will map the boundaries of wetlands, open water, and channels to submeter accuracy
using a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit or, when appropriate, boundaries will be mapped onto an
appropriately scaled aerial photograph. ERO will incorporate the wetland boundaries into project base
mapping provided by the Client and will send the Client a revised base mapping file that includes a layer
with the boundaries of wetlands, open water, and channels.
Products
• Map with wetlands, open water, and channel boundaries.
Assumptions
• The Client will arrange and provide permission to access the project area.
• Changes to the boundaries of the project area will require additional effort and ERO will
coordinate with the Client to determine if changes in the scope or budget are necessary.
Task 3. Geomorphic Site Visit
A senior geomorphologist will conduct a one -day site visit that will include coordination and discussion
with representatives from ERO and Eagle County on project goals, objectives, and proposed work.
Additionally, the site visit will be used for the collection of data, measurements, and observations that
will be used for site characterization, identification of structure locations, and preliminary design
development, which will be recorded on site maps, photos, and notes.
Task 4. Geomorphic Assessment and Design Development
The geomorphic assessment will consist of desktop analysis of GIS and remotely sensed datasets,
integrated with the field data and observations collected in Task 2. The geomorphic assessment will
provide a more detailed characterization of existing geomorphic conditions and constraints, as well as
aid in the identification of areas where restoration work and structure installation should be focused.
The assessment will identify the general locations for installation of BDA and PALS complexes, and/or
individual structures where appropriate. In addition, the assessment will help identify the approximate
type, size, and number of structures needed to develop effective BDA and PALS complexes to achieve
restoration goals. Based on this assessment, the approximate material quantities and costs will be
calculated for recommended structures.

ERO Resources Corporation
Scope of Work for Environmental Services for

Eagle County, Colorado
Products
• Maps and exhibits of the findings of the geomorphic assessment, including maps showing the
proposed installation locations of BDA and PALS complexes and /or individual structures.
• Maps and listed inventory of the anticipated location, type, and size of proposed structures.
• Approximate itemized list of estimated material quantities and costs for all proposed structures.
Assumptions
BDAs and PALS must be customized to each specific location and require "field fitting" at the
time of installation to optimize functionality and the likelihood of success.
All proposed locations, types, sizes, and material quantities are approximate and may vary
based on specific site conditions.
Task 5. Cultural Resources File Search
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA, 1966, as amended) requires that federal
agencies such as the Corps consult with the Colorado State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) to
ensure federal actions do not result in an adverse effect on historic properties (i.e., cultural resources
that are listed on or are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)). Because
the Corps continues to develop its guidance for compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA, the Corps will
use the file and literature review (Class I survey) results prepared under this task to assist in their
decision on the level of effort required to determine the project's potential effects on historic
properties.
ERO will conduct an archaeological file and literature search with the Office of Archaeology and Historic
Preservation to identify previous cultural resource surveys and previously documented cultural
resources within and surrounding the project area. Additional records may be consulted, including
general land office (GLO) records, county assessor records, cadastral surveys, master plats, and historical
records to assess the potential for archaeological or structural cultural resources to be located within
the project area.
This task includes time for coordination with the Corps to determine if a Class III (pedestrian) survey is
necessary and to define the extent of the survey area.
Products
• The results of the file and literature review will be summarized in a technical memorandum for
review by the Client and Corps.
Assumptions
• Because the Corps continues to develop its procedures for complying with Section 106 of the
NHPA, and because the project is in early planning stages and all areas of potential ground
disturbing activities cannot yet be defined, this scope of work only includes the costs for the file
and literature review and consultation with the Corps.

Should the Corps determine a Class III/pedestrian cultural resource survey is necessary to assess
potential project effects and consult with the SHPO, ERO will complete these tasks under a
revised scope of work.
Task 6. Prepare Preconstruction Notification (PCN)
If it is determined that the project can be authorized under one or more NWPs (such as NWP 27), or the
Regional General Permit (RGP) 12, ERO will prepare a PCN for submittal to the Corps. The PCN will
include a summary of the wetland delineation threatened and endangered species information, cultural
resource file search information, and project details such as plan and profile drawings for the project
area.
ERO will coordinate with the Client on what other information ERO requires for submittal to the Corps.
Typical information includes plan and profile views, cross -sections, figures showing and quantifying
impacts on jurisdictional areas, quantities of fill material below the ordinary high water mark,
background information on other approval requirements, and a discussion of the purpose of and need
for the project.
Products
• Draft PCN delivered to the Client via email.
• Final PCN; includes one hard copy mailed to the Corps.
• Redlined plan sheets with revegetation recommendations delivered to the Client via email.
• Seed mixes, plant lists, and revegetation notes delivered to the Client via email (if necessary).
Assumptions
• The Client will provide ERO with electronic and/or PDF project plan sets.
• The Client is responsible for transferring wetland and woody vegetation mitigation concepts
onto AutoCAD drawings.
• ERO assumes the Corps will not require a stream or wetland functional assessment. If the Corps
requires either a stream or wetland functional assessment a new scope of work will be
prepared.
Task 7. Develop Mitigation and Revegetation Approach
ERO will work with the project team to minimize impacts on wetlands and riparian habitat as much as
possible during the design phase. ERO will identify areas where restoration or enhancement will be
beneficial, as well as areas with high -quality habitat that should be protected as much as possible. This
task also includes two meetings with the project geomorphologist during design to discuss the channel
alignment and cross-section, bank stabilization treatments, and approaches for mitigating wetlands
onsite.
