MEMORANDUM COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD J. William McDonald Director TO: Bill McDonald David Walker Larry Lang FROM: Bill Stanton L~ DATE: January 18, 1983 SUBJECT: Flood Hazard Mitigation Plan The status of the mitigation plan is as follows: Last Friday (1/14/83) a meeting with the Governor (as set up by Pat Byrne) was held to brief the Governor on the plan and provide him with a revised draft similar to the attached. All comments from state agencies on the first draft and received by the deadline were included in the revision. The Governor scanned the plan while the letter of transmittal was re-typed on his stationary. He then signed the letter. (Pat Byrne still has it.) This Friday is the 180 day deadl ineJ and at that time I intend to deliver one copy of the plan to Alton Cook, FEMA Regional Director. I am now making last minute corrections and cleaning up the drawings as time permits. Late review comments allegedly sent from the Division of wildlife have not been received or included and we are still trying to track them down. The plan to be delivered to FEMA will not have the benefit of comments from any of you which, I think you will agree, is unfortunate. By necessity the report had to address "critical issues" which could be considered as highlighting deficiencies in existing state programs or as opportunities for improvement, depending on one's point of view. I hope the press does not find anything too sensitive that will embarrass the state. At least 40 copies of the plan are needed for distribution to various federal, state and local agencies. I estimate the cost to do this through Quick Copy will be about $230. Do you have any suggestions? 601 JWM/DW/LL ,
