would be a channel improvement capable of
carrying only the outlet work's releases from
the two dams with a recommendation that local
interests zone the area to preclude additional
developments downstream in the flood plain.
The other alternative is to construct a channel
capable of carrying the runoff in the area
downstream from the two dams. The latter pro-
posal will require a provision of cost-sharing
from local interests for the lands and rights-
of-way for relocation. The recommendation in
the report is that we go with the latter. If
,
local interests at some future date decide they
don't want it, we could go with the smaller
channel. If the larger channel is constructed,
we also have the provision that the federal
government would buy the land and would look to
the local interests for reimbursement for the
land. This would be different than we have on
Chatfield where we are looking to the state
for acquisition of rights-of-way. We feel that
this package would be a little easier to admin-
ister, where we would go in and acquire the
lands and then assess the local sponsors for the
cost."

"The local sponsors would be what entities
here?"

"This could be possibly the Urban Drainage
District or the cities or the state. It wouldn't
matter. I foresee the Urban Drainage District
as probably the sponsor that could easily pick
it up. but this is something we could determine
in the future."

"Any questions in regard to these portions
for flood control? Now, again, what kind of
hearings have we had on Toll Gate and Sand
Creek?"

"The two meetings that I mentioned, 30
April 1969 and the 13 January 72 meetings, were
held at Hinkley High School in Aurora. Notices
