<br />. <br /> <br />-2- <br /> <br />water in about one and one quarter (I \4) foot of storage above elevation 5,432 feet at Chatfield <br />Reservoir. Even if Denver is allowed to reduce the fish flows and it receives permission to store <br />water to an elevation of 5,433.25 in Chatfield Reservoir, some water will be lost to Denver's <br />customers. However, eveI)' little bit saved during this drought would help. <br /> <br />All parties, including the Colorado Pmks and Outdoor Recreation Division, Denver, and the <br />Water Conservation Bomd are working together to assure that impacts to recreation and <br />recreation amenities at Chatfield Reservoir will be minimi7ed if the Corps approves this <br />emergency use of one and one quarter foot of storage at Chatfield Reservoir for up to six months. <br />Denver is losing water every day this issue goes unresolved. Hopefully, the Corps will <br />appreciate the urgency of this request and quickly approve Denver's use of an additional one and <br />one quarter foot of Chatfield Reservoir storage above elevation 5,432 feet.
