<br />Hefley, Tancredo review data

<br />News Staff Writer
<br />
<br />Two Colorado congressmen
<br />questioned National Weather
<br />Service experts Thursday about
<br />the probability of torrential rain-
<br />faU that could split the Cherry
<br />Creek Dam.
<br />Weather service data in a study
<br />by the Army Corps of Engineers
<br />concIuded- the Cherrv Creek
<br />Basin could get 25 inches of rain
<br />in three days.
<br />That would lead to flooding
<br />which would breach the dam, the
<br />report said.
<br />Reps. Joel Hefley and Tom Tan-
<br />credo, both Republicans, have
<br />pushed for the corps to conduct
<br />'an outside peer review of the
<br />
<br />Weather Service data.
<br />After - Thursday's meeting,
<br />however, Tancredo said he is sat-
<br />isfied with an internal review the
<br />Weather Service recently con-,'
<br />ducted. ·
<br />Hefley, 'however; remained
<br />skeptical. ' '
<br />"I, have more confidence in
<br />their projections than, I did
<br />befor~, "
<br />Hefley said.' "I am still not con-'
<br />vinced this is something we have
<br />to worry about."
<br />The corps determined in 1993
<br />the Cherry Creek Darn would fail
<br />in the event of a deluge seven
<br />times greater than a 100-year
<br />flood, resulting in thousands of
<br />deaths and billions of dollars of
<br />damage downstream.
<br />To make the darn safer, the
<br />corps is studying several alterna-
<br />tives, including raising the darn
<br />up to 15 feet and building
<br />upstream backup darns.
<br />
<br />That plan could require the
<br />federal government to purchase
<br />and condemn homes in Green-
<br />wood Village and Douglas Coun-
<br />ty. But n6decision has been
<br />made, said Bill Miller, the project
<br />director forthe corps. '
<br />A decision on the alternatives,
<br />previously expected by Septem--
<br />ber, will be delayed' until early
<br />winter, Miller said.
<br />Dozens of homeowners and lo-
<br />cal elected officials aren't con-
<br />vinced by the Weather' Service
<br />data.
<br />"Getting an outside peer
<br />review is still our main push,"
<br />said Jan Herman, an organizer of
<br />a group of landowners opposing
<br />upstream dams.
<br />The corps has scheduled the
<br />first of a series of public forums
<br />from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday at
<br />the Sheraton Four Points Hotel;
<br />600 S. Colorado Blvd,
