SPARKS: . <br /> <br />the 1965 flood. did not have any effect in the <br />area we are talking about for the proposed <br />Castlewood site. Our view is that there is a <br />possible engineering overkill in that - to <br />construct a project of this magnitude that <br />would hold three 100-year floods - appears. <br />from my standpoint. to be just as I say. an <br />engineering overkill. especially when there is <br />a viable alternative to construction of the <br />site. <br /> <br />Thank you." <br /> <br />"Any further discussion on Cherry Creek? <br />I don't see.

It has been bogged down <br />for lack of funds to expand it any further.
