E <br />DlfeClOI CW'.:B <br /> <br />THRU: <br /> <br />Daries "Chuck" Lile, Director, CWCB <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />, <br />Larry Lang, Chief, Flood Control Section <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />August 4, 1993 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Colorado Requests Emergency Funds <br /> <br />As discussed during my 1993 flood report at Meeker, I welcome your assistance in securing <br />funds for a number of Colorado emergency flood protection projects. Enclosed is Chuck's letter <br />and a "News Release" for your information. <br /> <br />The applications should be completed and mailed to Washington on Monday, August 9, <br /> <br />1993. <br /> <br />The CWCB made a request to the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) on behalf of Colorado <br />communities. The State in cooperation with the SCS has formulated eight feasible projects which <br />will provide immediate assistance to the affected community. The funds will be made available <br />to Colorado through the SCS's 216 program entitled "Emergency Streambank Protection Program". <br />Recently, Congress has authorized $25 million for emergency flood protection projects. I am <br />hopeful these Colorado communities will be considered for funding. <br /> <br />We realize that the Mississippi and Missouri River floodplain communities will be priority; <br />however, Colorado has a number of flood emergencies, also. The emergencies are the result of <br />rapid 1993 snowmelt runoff. <br /> <br />Should your schedule allow, you may want to discuss Colorado's needs with: <br /> <br />Mr. Lloyd Wright, Director <br />Watershed Projects Division <br />NHQ <br />Washington, DC <br />Phone: (202) 720-1853 <br /> <br />LFL/bj <br />Enclosure <br />cc: Chuck Lile <br /> <br />bjl15l.memo <br />
