Palisade whitewater park on hold

Palisade officials will have to wait until fall at the earliest to build a proposed whitewater park in the Colorado River.

Today was the last day that construction workers could have entered the Colorado River at Riverbend Park to start on the whitewater park, Town Administrator Tim Sarmo said.

The next chance window for construction open on Oct. 1 and Sarmo said he hoped the town would be prepared at that time to go forward.

The town is building a computer model that officials hope will confirm their belief that the whitewater park will pose no threat to the endangered fish species of the Colorado River. They also hope to show the park won’t interfere with irrigation or other uses of the river.

Officials are hoping to meet this month with officials of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Fish and Wildlife Service, Sarmo said.

The town also is meeting with the successful bidder for the project to determine how to handle a late start date, Sarmo said.
