III. Analysis <br />Comparisons among repeat cross sections were examined to identify natural <br />variability, intra annual variability, and to isolate errors from the individual surveys. <br />To assist in error analysis of topographic data and to insure that the channel bed is <br />being sufficiently described, the topographic data collected were inserted into the <br />USGS quasi-31) hydraulic modeled flow fields examined. A first year data report will <br />be published once all data reduction is completed. <br />IV. Information Dissemination <br />The USGS has provided periodic updates and presentations to the Technical <br />Committee, Platte River EIS Team, Parsons Engineering, The Whooping Crane <br />Maintenance Trust concerning the monitoring activities at the Cottonwood Ranch. <br />Preliminary data was released to Parsons Engineering and the Executive Director's <br />Office and has recently been available for dissemination on the USGS Platte River <br />Program web site (http://mcmcweb.er.usgs.gov/platte/) maintained by USGS <br />personnel in Rolla, MO. These data are preliminary and are released with a <br />disclaimer. The web site allows individuals to read about the project and access cross- <br />section survey data and sediment size data. <br />V. Cost Reimbursement <br />Reimbursement is requested as indicated on the attached table. This is the sole and <br />complete request for the federal fiscal year ending September 30, 2001. Please note <br />that costs exceeding the agreed upon budget are being borne by USGS.
