COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD
Permit Application - Scheduled Repair/Maintenance or Emergency
(Approval of the Permit Application from the CWCB must be obtained prior to any activity)

][n the 1980s, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) constructed the Chatfield Downstream
Channel Improvement Project ("Project"). The Project consisted of improvements to the flow of water in the
channel of the South Platte River in Arapahoe County to provide (1) drainage (2) flood control, and (3) water
flow. As part of its participation in the Project, the CWCB owns and controls approximately 7 miles on the
South Platte River channel and floodplain through Littleton, Colorado in Arapahoe County. The CWCB
management of this land is subject to the terms of the September 7, 1977 and January 29, 1980 Agreements
between the CWCB and the Corps, which obligate the CWCB to operate and maintain the Project
improvements. On May 5, 1997, the CWCB entered into a Contract for and Conveyance of Easement with the:
South Suburban Park and Recreation District ("South Suburban Contract") that conveyed an easement to
South Suburban for certain recreational facilities. The CWCB works in conjunction with its Project partners,
the South Suburban Park and Recreation District and the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, to
maintain the Project and Project lands.
