<br />- 3 - <br /> <br />o Tetra Tech has completed much of Chapter 2 and will incorporate the additional information <br />necessary based on responses to the request noted above. The discussion of alternatives is <br />iterative and Chapter 2 will continue to evolve as the impact analysis (Chapter 4) is developed <br />and will not be finalized until late in the process. A preliminary version of Chapter 2 should be <br />available for review by the cooperating agencies sometime in early May. <br />o US Fish and Wildlife Coordination - Pete Plage provided some clarification as to the <br />consultation process and contacts for the Prebles meadow jumping mouse (Pete) and the <br />depletions issue (Din Anderson).

Tracy Bouvette and representatives of Western Mutual Ditch Company, Central Colorado Water <br />Conservancy District, Denver Water and the City and County of Denver are going to Washington D.C. <br />shortly after this meeting to meet with Colorado's Congressional Delegation. <br />. Water Users asked if letters of support were needed and if this effort would also discuss the current <br />federal budget situation. Letters of support aren't needed right now and the budget issues were high on <br />the priority list of topics to discuss with Colorado's Congressional Representatives. <br />. This consortium has also spent time with meeting with key officials at the Corps District, Division and <br />Head Quarters levels. Current Corps criteria make environmental restoration in urban corridors <br />difficult. This is a policy level discussion right now. The Environmental Restoration Group will be <br />planning for a South Platte River tour for Congressional representatives at some point this year. <br /> <br />Recreation Impact Study Phase II (Parks) <br />Brad Buckner gave brief update about the progress on this study that is contracted with EDA W.
