Walcher <br />Executive Director <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Project Advisory Committee - Cherry Creek PMP Technical <br />Review <br /> <br />Rod Kuharich <br />CWCB Director <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Larry Lang, Project Manager <br /> <br />Dan McAuliffe <br />Deputy Director <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />March 28, 2003 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Discussion Topics for the April 2nd Cherry Creek PMP Meeting <br /> <br />Additional discussion topics for the Project Advisory Committee (Committee): <br /> <br />I. Congressional actions regarding the Corps of Engineers' Funding Bill language for FY 2005 <br />Cherry Creek Dam Safety Study Program - The funding language under their Operation and <br />Maintenance Funds (0 & M) has been the same for FY 01, FY 02, FY 03, and FY 04, which <br />is under the House Committee instructions. The language states: <br /> <br />"None of the funds provided for Operation and Maintenance at the Cherry Creek <br />Project in Colorado may be used to undertake a study of dam safety at tbe Project". <br /> <br />This language has placed a complete stop to any Corps of Engineers Dam Safety Study <br />activity at the Cherry Creek Reservoir. Congress placed this language in the Corps' funding <br />bill to bring attention to the public's concerns over the Corps' study <br />findings/recommendations. In response to the Corps' Cherry Creek Dam Safety issues a non- <br />federal technical review team was formed to perform a technical review of the Corp's 1995 <br />Cherry Creek PMP Study. The review/study findings will be presented to the Committee on <br />April 2' 2003. <br /> <br />Question: Does the Committee want to consider the following language for an amendment to <br />the Corp's funding bill? <br /> <br />"Except limited funding may be used for a technical review of the existing and any new <br />Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) and collaborate on the performance of a <br />Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) study by others and the Corps". <br /> <br />2. Suggested review/study meeting schedule for the completion ofthe non-federal PMP <br />technical review for Cherry Creek Dam and Reservoir. A suggested schedule is: <br /> <br />Flood ProtectioIl . Water Supply Planning and Finance. Stream and Lake Protection <br />Water Supply Protection. Conservation and Drought Planning <br />
