<br />CWCB - Floodolain Maooing <br />Authorization: FY 2001 <br />Water Source: N/A <br />Location: Statewide <br /> <br />Grant Amount: $30,000 <br />Project Type: Flood Mapping <br />Project Manager: Tom Browning <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The Flood Protection Program's role is to mjnimjze Colorado's flood loss vulnerability and related economjc impacts. <br />This is accomplished by mapping floodplains, determination of stream hydraulic and hydrologic characteristics, the <br />identification of 100-year floodplain areas, the preparation of floodplain management plans, and by assisting local <br />communities to establish flood mitigation measures. We intend to work on at least two locally cost-shared floodplain <br />mapping projects. <br /> <br />ewCB - River Mttlti-Obiective Proiects <br />Authorization: FY 2001 <br />Water Source: <br />Location: Fountain Creek <br /> <br />Grant Amount: $50,000 <br />Project Type: Multi-Objective Study <br />Project Manager: Brian Hyde <br /> <br />Colorado's floodplains have many competing interests for their use. During a flood, the stream channel and its floodplain <br />serve as a floodwater conveyance path. Under normal flow regimes, the stream and floodplain serve as wildlife habitat, <br />components of water supply systems, and opportunities and constraints for various land-use activities. Following a major <br />flood event or a stream use issue/concern, the Board will consider a request for a Multi-Objective study/project. The <br />project is scoped to address multi-objective management, stream flood issues, and development of mjtigation measures <br />for problems that are identified. For this fiscal year the Board has received a request for a Fountain Creek GIS study. <br />The request for the proposed study was developed following the 1999 flood event. <br /> <br />ewCB - Water Education Programs <br />Authorization: FY 2001 <br />Water Source: N/A <br />Location: Statewide <br /> <br />Grant Amount: $10,000 <br />Project Type: Water Edttcation <br />Project Manager: Dan McAuliffe <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Work has commenced to implement the Water Education Initiative using $115,000 approved by the General Assembly in <br />2000. These funds would be used, if necessary, to supplement the initiative if more CD's containing lesson plans need to <br />be produced, if funds are needed to support Children's Water Festivals, or to hire a project coordinator. The initiative is <br />designed to improve public understanding of the value of water as a scarce natural resource. The Colorado water <br />Congress Education Committee has recommended that we use these funds to hire a contract "edttcation coordinator." We <br />are expecting a scope of work in October. <br /> <br />ewCB - Water Information Center <br />Authorization: FY 200 I <br />Water Source: N/A <br />Location: 1580 Logan in Denver <br /> <br />Grant Amount: $30,000 <br />Project Type: Water Information <br />Project Manager: Dan McAuliffe <br /> <br />This project is The CWCB has identified available office space next to the Colorado Water Congress office at 1580 <br />Logan in Denver. The funds would be used to make the space a Decision Sttpport System operating center and to <br />accelerate the process of cataloguing, imaging and makjng available for public use, via the Intemet and in a walk-in <br />center, decades of historical documents, case files, floodplain maps and other information. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />C:\SERLET\BoardMemos\Grant Status Report.
