President Clinton initially approved Federal disaster aid for several Colorado <br />counties on May 17, 1999 following a request from Colorado Govemor Bill Owens. Our role as <br />lead agency for disaster mitigation necessitates that we manage or perform certain tasks and <br />projects to fulfill the requirements of the Federal Emergc~ncy Management Agency. <br /> <br />REQUEST <br /> <br />I am formally requesting that the CWCB, through DNR Director Greg Walcher, ask that <br />Govemor Owens make funds available to us for the projects that are sunimarized in Table 1 <br />below. It is our understanding the Govemor has' access to money that is available within the <br />State Disaster Emergency Fund. (See attached Executive Order D00399, "Declaring a Disaster <br />Emergency due to Widespread Flooding in Certain Areas of Colorado"), <br /> <br />Table 1 <br />Requested funding for disaster related projects <br /> <br /> <br />roject <br />Flood Documentation Report <br />Hazard Mitigation Grant Program <br />La Junta Feasibility Study <br /> <br /> <br />Total <br /> <br />h <br />12,500 <br />330,000 <br />50,000 <br />$392,500 <br /> <br />Federal <br />hare ($) <br />37,500 <br />990,000 <br />o <br />$1,027,500 <br /> <br />Total <br />Cost ($) <br />50,000 <br />1,320,000 <br />75,000 <br />$1,445,000 <br />
