I appreciate your support of the technical discussion regarding the probable <br />maximum precipitation (pMP) for the Cherry Creek Dam Safety Study. I am gratified to he:ar <br />the discussion was informative. <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />Your comment ;about the current availability of adequate information is understandable <br />given the Corps of Engineers has not presented an official position on the Cherry Creek Dam <br />Safety issue. This information will be presented in the draft Dam Safety Report for the: Cherry <br />Creek Dam. The Corps has been developing the data that is needed to make a determination and <br />receiving scoping comments from the public. Rather than trying to answer all of these conc,erns <br />and comments as they *re presented, the Corps records these issues and addresses them in the <br />draft dam safety report; This report provides all the data and necessary supporting material in a <br />complete and consolidated manner which allows the reader to have the type of information and <br />explanation you are requesting. The draft report is then reviewed by the public and additional <br />comments are considered. <br /> <br />, <br />The Omaha District is writing the draft dam safety report at this time. Prior to the July <br />1999 meeting, the Cor~s anticipated having the draft report to the public by February 2000; <br />however, the additional! review of some issues by the National Weather Service may possibly <br />delay the release date. ; <br />, <br />I <br />i <br />I am requesting ,you withhold your opinion on the study and delay any formal comments <br />to the public, congressionals, and the Colorado,Water Conservation Board members until you <br />have completely revie~ed the draft dam safety report for Cherry Creek Dam. <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />'I <br />! :~ <br />\yJ <br />
