Colorado. This Board (CWCB) in cooperation with the local government <br />sponsors (Arapahoe and Douglas Counties. City of Aurora and City of Greenwood Village. <br />Colorado) have been tasked for performing a technical review of the Corps and the National <br />Weather Service (NWS) Site-Specific 1995 PMP Study. The CWCB is accomplishing this <br />project by contract with Applied Weather Associates (AW A) for the performance of certain <br />meteorological. climatological, and hydrological tasks using World Meteorological Organization <br />(WMO) PMP procedures. The PMP procedures require professional judgment and knowledge <br />of extreme storm data in the performance of a PMP analysis. Any site-specific investigation <br />requires the regional transposition of extreme storm events. <br /> <br />In addition to the Board's contract with AWA, the Board formed a technical review panel with a <br />make-up of recognized PMP experts to perform technical review for the project. The eWeB <br />feels that the technical review panel comments were addressed and recommendations <br />incorporated to a satisfactory level. The basin project impacts and PMP concerns were <br />addressed through regular meetings of the Cherry Creek PMP Advisory Committee whose <br />membership includes representatives of the cities and counties, professional groups with an <br />interest in the project, agency and organizational officials and a number of citizens. <br /> <br />At the June 19th meeting, the AWA and the NWS presented their respective PMP study findings <br />31'1d provided study comparisons to each other's study results regarding the PMP for the Cherry <br />Creek Basin. These comparisons are presented in the document entitled "Site-Specific <br />Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) Study for the Cherry Creek Drainage Basin - Second <br />Final Report Review Meeting June 19,2003 Denver, Co" which is posted on the CWeB web <br />site @ www.cwcb.state.co.us. AWA will incorporate the il'lformation and comments that 1'18'-8 <br />presented at the June 19th meeting into their draft report entitled "Probable Maximum <br />Precipitation (PMP) Site-Specific Study for Cherry Creek ReseNoir dated April 2003". <br /> <br />ficod Protl;clion .
