Creek particularly, and perhaps on some of the other areas; that they <br />could not successfully work together unless they were in agreement <br />on basic project data. The Corps can refer their hydrologic work to <br />the Service and either get their concurrence or do the work together <br />in order to be in agreement. <br />The Corps suggests the Water Board check the information <br />as to the accuracy and relationships of the frequency of floods in <br />the Denver Metropolitan area. <br />Mr. Gardner stated the Corps would like the Soil Conserva- <br />tion Service to become active in evaluating potential flood damages <br />from the urban development south of Colfax up above Aurora; that <br />they should exchange freely: their urban damage data or frequency <br />studies or hydrology studies with those of the Soil Conservation <br />Service. <br />Mr. Gardner passed around a statement of the work now <br />being done by the Corps in this basin. (See Appendix A). <br />Mr. Chalmers of the Soil Conservation Service said that <br />the West Arapahoe and West Adams Soil Conservation Districts re- <br />quested the Soil Conservation Service in August, 1957, for a joint <br />investigation of Sand Creek by the Corps of Engineers and the Soil <br />Conservation Service. A meeting of interested groups in the pro- <br />posed project met to establish the fields of responsibility for the <br />study and to coordinate the work. <br />He stated that it is the practice of the Soil Conservation <br />Service to require the District sponsoring a project to satisfy the <br />downstream water users that the project would not impair their water <br />rights. <br />He agreed with the Corps of Engineers on their plan for the <br />coordinated project studies; however, the plan should be given full <br />consideration to the overall land treatment and use of the land. <br />The request for the project planning studies by the spon- <br />soring Soil Conservation Districts was read by Mr. McCrimmon. The <br />request was signed by Messrs. John Race, president of the West Arapa- <br />hoe District and Mr. James L. Johnson, West Adams District, (See <br />Appendix B). <br />Mr. McCrimmon said the Soil Conservation Service will now <br />initiate their planning for Sand Creek and cooperate with the Corps <br />of Engineers to the fullest extent possible. <br />MR. SPARKS: "In connection with this application by the <br />West Arapahoe and West Adams Soil Conservation <br />Districts, there arises the problem of the respon- <br />sibility of determining possible infringement on <br />decrees on the South Platte River which has been <br />-3- <br />
