<br />5. Bill clarified that he did not solicit "assistance" from the Working Group in order to <br />determine what congressional work is needed for getting the Corps to accept PMP results <br />from a source other than the National Weather Servic(:. <br /> <br />Other members of the Working Group were satisfied wilth the meeting minutes and requested <br />that the final minutes remain unchanged from the draft version. The . Corps ' comments during <br />the January 5, 2000 meeting were duly noted. The minutes will reflect those comments. <br /> <br />Corps of Engineers Presentation <br /> <br />1. Bill Miller presented a draft "scope of work" for a federal independent review of the July <br />13, 1995 Cherry Creek Site-Specific Study. <br /> <br />2. The draft scope was prepared by the NWS for the COIpS of Engineers technical review. <br /> <br />3. The Corps will select an "external" consultant that would be selected under federal <br />procurement procedures. The state/local interest would be allowed to have a representative <br />on the project team for this process. <br /> <br />4. The Corps has not submitted a cost proposal to the congressional appropriations committee <br />at this time. <br /> <br />5. The Corps does not have study funds to prepare a detailed "scope of work" or cost <br />proposal. <br /> <br />6. The NWS is performing an in-house review of their July 13, 1995 PMP study. The Corps <br />has not received any new information or findings about the study to date. Miller does not <br />foresee an opportunity for any significant changes in the NWS findings. <br /> <br />7. Miller still envisions that a joint technical review c:ould take place using the following <br />proposed scenario: <br /> <br />· Colorado interests (Working Group) and the Corps would prepare a detailed scope <br />of work for an independent, site-specific PMP study for the Cherry Creek basin <br />upstream of the Cherry Creek dam. <br /> <br />· The Working Group would solicit for and contract with a group to formulate <br />technical study parameters with Colorado interests in mind and present to the Corps <br />and NWS for consideration. <br /> <br />· The Working Group would contract for a review team for technical evaluation of <br />any Corps/NWS study products <br /> <br />· The Corps of Engineers would pay for a study contractor to do the actual <br />independent PMP analysis or review of the NWS work. <br /> <br />2 <br />
