We <br />will begin the consultant selection <br />process for the 1998 projects as soon as <br />the funding agreements are executed <br />between the District and each project's <br />local sponsors. <br />Master plans for the following <br />watersheds were completed and reports <br />for them published in 1997: Niver <br />Creek, Grange Hall Creek, Brantoer <br />Gulch North Tribntaries, Arapahoe and <br />Magpie Gulches, and Big Dry Creek in <br />Arapahoe County. At this time we are <br />procuring mapping and are in the <br />process of selecting consulting firms for <br />the following four new master plans: <br />select Big Dry Creek (ARAPCO) <br />tributary areas, update ofBroomfleld <br />and Vicinity master plan, Sulphur and <br />Tallman Gulches, and the areas <br />tributary to Quincy Reservoir. <br /> <br />l <br />l <br />I <br /> <br />Technology Transfer & Education <br /> <br />Erosimt Control Training <br />Red Rocks Community College is <br />continniT\g to offer training in runoff <br />quality management during <br />construction. Red Rocks also can <br />certifY for the Colorado Department of <br />Transportation that an individual has <br />successfully completed the Erosion <br />Control Supervisor Training program. <br />A certified supervisor is now required <br />on COOT construction projects. Scott <br />Olson at Red Rocks (telephone 988- <br />6160, X-282) can provide you with <br />more information. We encourage all <br />municipal official., consultants and <br />construction contractors to take this <br />class and to also obtain the COOT <br />certification. <br /> <br />Erosimt Colltrol Jl"uleo <br />The Denver Regional Counci1 of <br />Governments (DRCOG) has completed <br />a training video for the selection, <br />design, insta11ation and maintenance of <br />stormwater quality management <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br /> STATUS OF PLANNING PROJECTS <br />Proiect S I) Consultant Statui <br />Ni_, _" CJrance 'fbondon" Adams Co.

This <br />worl< was done under a Section 319 <br />grant to DRCOG. The District <br />contributed approximately $40,000 in <br />funds to provide a sigt>ificant portion of <br />the local match for this effort This <br />video addresses some uuique conditions <br />fiIced during construction in Colorado, <br />especially within its semi-arid regions. <br /> <br />Software <br />The District and Computer Software <br />Library, Inc. cooperated to upgrade the <br />District's hydrologic software. Two <br />packages, namely, CUHPFPC and <br />UDSWM386 are expanded versions of <br />earlier software. CUHPFPC now <br />provides for an option to account for the <br />effects of hydraulically unconnected <br />impervious areas and UDSWM386 has <br />corrected some of the reported problems <br />and can now handle up to 1900 <br />gntter/pipe elements. Both have been <br />compiled using the Microsoft <br />FORTRAN Power Station 32 bit <br />compiler. Both programs have <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />undergone considerable testing. These <br />two programs and other District <br />supported software can be obtained <br />through the District's software <br />distribution agent, Computer Software <br />Library, Inc. P.O.

In 1998 the <br />focus will be to complete and update <br />Volume 3 - Best Manage1tU!nt <br />Practices. When it was first published <br />in 1992, it contained chapters that were <br />set aside for future completion. This <br />effort will complete these sections and <br />will update and improve other chapters <br />in response to the comments received <br />from manual users since its initial <br />publication. Most of the experience so <br />far has been positive, however it needs <br />clarification on how to select, use and <br />
