<br /> <br />For the Recreation hnpacts Study, a scope of work h!ls been developed in conjunction with State <br />Parks. The objective of the study involves developing a GIS system of all existing and underground <br />utilities, evaluating existing recreational amenities and facilities and computing the costs for recreational <br />impacts and additional benefits at the 20,600 Ac.-Ft. pool at elevation 5444. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />Floodplain Mapping Prol!Iam <br />Authorization: SBOI-157 <br />Water Source: N/A <br />Location: Statewide <br /> <br />Grant Amount: $250,000 <br />Project Type: Floodplain Delineation <br />Project Manager: Brian Hyde <br /> <br />This program provides state financial and technical support for local floodplain mapping initiatives. <br />This funding will support five local efforts in different regions of the state. <br /> <br />The first three of the five mapping projects are well underWay. <br /> <br />1) The Town of Basalt (Eagle/Pitkin Counties) has completed much of the work for its River <br />Master Plan for the Roaring Fork River. Completion of the remaining work iu Basalt is expected <br />in the fall of2002. <br />2) Eagle County has selected a consultant and begun work on the floodplain study for the Eagle <br />River from its confluence with Gore Creek (below Vail and Minturn) to the confluence with the <br />Colorado River at Dotsero and down the Colorado River to the Garfield County line in the <br />Gijmwood Canyon. Work is expected to continue into the summer of 2003. <br />3) Gunnison County has begun topographic mapping of streams in the Marble area and in the <br />Gunnison/Crested Butte area. Tn addition, the Corps of Engineers has begun hydrologic analyses <br />for these stream reaches. Completion of the topographic mapping is expected in the late fall of <br />2002. The Corps ofEugineers is expected to begin some of the hydraulic analyses at that time. <br /> <br />Two other communities have beeu identified for the remaining floodplain mapping, but work has not <br />begun there yet. Those two communities are Delta County and Weld County. Meetings will be scheduled <br />during the summer of 2002 to begin th.e mapping studies in those counties. <br /> <br />These floodplain mapping dollars are matched by local government resources and federal agency <br />program funds. <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />CWCB - CherrY Creek Flood Safety Tnvestigation <br />Authorization: SB 99-173 <br />Water Source: Cherry Creek <br />Location: Southeast Denver Metro <br /> <br />Grant Amount: $150,000 <br />Project Type: Flood Control <br />Project Manager: Larry Lang <br /> <br />This project is a technical review of the Corps ofEugineers and National Weather Service July 13 <br />1995 Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) Study f6r the Corps Dam Safety Tnvestigation of the <br />Cherry Creek Dam and Reservoir. The Board, in coop~ration with the Cherry Creek Work Group, is <br />performing a teclmical review ofthe Corps ofEngineers"PMP investigation for the Corps, Cherry Creek <br />Reservoir Flood Safety Study The Board with local gov~mments in Douglas and Arapahoe Counties has <br />selected Applied Weather Associates to perform a PMP review and a new site specific PMP analysis. <br /> <br />The contract is now underway and a draft final report is scheduled for general review on July 25, <br />2002. The project is receiving much interest using regional procedures for the determination of PMP <br />values for the Cherry Creek Basin in Colorado rather ,than general national procedures.
