<br />. . <br /> <br />Study are a location map showing general location of the project, Figure 3-1 of the Dry <br />Creek Flood Control Plan showing the location of the alternatives and a 1990 Census Tract <br />map for the basin. <br /> <br />Q4: Shorter paragraphs would make the report much easier to read. <br /> <br />R4: This comment will be reflected in the Dry Creek Feasibility Report. <br /> <br />Q5: The Study Obj ective should be moved to the first page of the report and clarified in specific <br />terms. What exactly is the report intended to accomplish in terms of the project need and <br />purpose? In the first sentence "technical" should be included with "economic, institutional <br />and financial feasibility". <br /> <br />R5: See response to Question Number 2. <br /> <br />Q6: Introduction and Background Information (now on page one) should be reduced and <br />clarified. A brief description of the proposed project and the funding request should be <br />included in this section of the report along with the need for and purpose of the project. <br /> <br />R6: See response to Question Number 2. <br /> <br />Q7: The information beginning with the second paragraph under Scope of Work on page three <br />should be in a separate section dealing with Study Area. <br /> <br />R7: See response to Question Number 2. <br /> <br />Q8: Suggest deleting the heading Scope of Work. <br /> <br />R8: See response to Question Number 2. <br /> <br />Q9: Are the proposed improvements intended primarily for the benefit of the lower basin? <br /> <br />R9: That is correct. The Dry Creek watershed, for the purposes of this study, is broken into three <br />regions. The regions are the Upper Basin describing the watershed above Douglas Dam, the <br />Middle Basin for the watershed between Douglas Dam and the Larimer and Weld Canal and <br />the Local Basin for the watershed between the Larimer and Weld Canal to the confluence <br />with the Cache la Poudre River. The quantified benefits of the project are primarily for the <br />Local Basin. The recommended alternative does provide flood control benefits to the <br />Middle Basin and provides for the Larimer and Weld Irrigation Company to release stored <br />water directly to the Larimer and Weld Canal. Currently, the Larimer and Weld Irrigation <br />Company trades water with Water and Supply and Storage Company through Long Pond. <br />The water trade is necessary because of the inadequate capacity of privately owned <br />hydraulic crossings along Dry Creek prevent the release of stored water from Douglas Dam <br />reaching the Larimer and Weld Canal. Larimer and Weld Irrigation Company believes this <br />project will increase delivery to their customers by 5,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Page 2 of7 <br />
