<br />" <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />~ <br />\:'-'- <br /> <br />< <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Monte Pascoe <br />July 21, 1982 <br />Page two <br /> <br />Under the above authorities, and in response to local requests, we <br />have estimated the extent of flooding in the event of a dam failure in <br />a few instances. Due to lack of funding, however, we have never been <br />able to implement a program for methodically evaluating the flood <br />hazards associated with the failure of dams in Colorado. Obviously, <br />such a program would be highly desirable. <br /> <br />Funding Cutback <br /> <br />Our general fund appropriation for F.Y. 82-83 has been reduced by <br />$116,000, which represents about half of the budget for the Board's <br />floodplain management program. The $116,000 is to be recovered by <br />charging for some portion of the services we render. <br /> <br />I do not expect to be able to generate this much money. Thus, as <br />you will recall, I have already reduced the personnel allocated to the <br />Board's floodplain program by leaving a position in that program vacant. <br /> <br />BMcD:mm <br />
