Agenda Item 11 - Bear Creek Reservoir Space Allocation -
Appendix E
• In his report on this item, Mr . McDonald recalled the Board
discussions at the July and September 1984 Board meetings
concerning the interest expressed by several local entities to
acquire allocation of space in Bear Creek Reservoir for
conservation storage space. In a response to an earlier Board
request, the Corps indicated that a final determination on the
availability and allocation of space was awaiting the
completion of the Corps ' Denver Tri-Lakes System Operation
Study.
Preliminary results of the study were received from the
Corps early in November . However, a complete report and final
analysis is still being prepared. The preliminary data
received raise a number of questions and, consequently, it was
not possible to prepare a thorough analysis and study results
for the November meeting.
No formal motion was offered . Consensus of the Board was
that the staff should continue working with all interested
parties to finalize the determination as to the availability of
space for water conservation purposes in Bear Creek Reservoir
and to determine a plan for the allocation of any available
space to interested parties .
