" .' . J",rrJ M~ORANDUM COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD J. William McDonald Din'nm ~O: Bill McDonald, Director FROM: Larry F. Lang, Section A Chief DATE: September 18, 1981 SUBJECT: Seeking Funding for Phase II Engineering-- Fountain Creek Project On September, l7, 1981, I talked with Mr. Scott Parker, Chief, Program Development for the Albuquerque District, Corps of Engineers, regarding an appropriation for Fountain Creek Flood Control project--Phase II Engineering. He was against reducing the Arkansas River and Tributaries above John Martin $350,000 or Trinidad Lake (Dam Safety Assurance) $3,500,000. He offered the following three alternatives: 1. Add a paragraph at the end of the General Investigation's Table. See page 22, Locks and Dam, Number 26, Illinois and Missouri. suggested wording--"Within available funds, the Corps of Engineers is directed to commence Phase II engineering for the preparation of final designs and con- struction estimates for the Fountain Creek Flood Control Project. " / 2. Add a paragraph at the end of the General Investigation's Table. See page 24, Santa Ana River Basin and Orange County, California. Suggested wording--"Although the foregoing table dbes not reflect a committee allowance for Phase II engineering for the Fountain Creek Project, Pueblo, Colorado, the Corps should allocate $20,000 for the study and further within available funds may increase the study bUdget to $l50,000." Note: This would increase the overall budget-'bY$20,000. '- J 3. Add a line item on page 8 under Colorado entitled, "Fountain Creek $l50,000" and increase the "Reduction for Anticipated -~. Savings and Slippages" page 2l entry, from $l,650,000 to $l,800,000. Note: This would not increase the overall budget; however, all studies would be cut a bit more at the end. This is a good technique.
