<br />,5,
<br />
<br />Bob McGregor, Greenwood Village- I was wondering if there was a map that shows the locations of the
<br />HMR 51 and 55A storms and those used in this study,
<br />
<br />Ed Tomlinson, AWA- Yes, it is in the report; but in the HMRs we don't know what storms were used to
<br />determine PMP in the Cherry Creek area,
<br />
<br />Lou Schreiner, BOR- Am I going to have an opportunity to state my findings?
<br />
<br />Larry Lang, CWCB- We need to cover the congressional items first and then further discuss this after
<br />lunch, By May 16th we will need to have the TRP comments and the NWS comments, This was our chance to
<br />give the draft report to the advisory committee, The Corps have been receptive to this process and now they
<br />need a bit of leeway to address the PMF in the future, Our study partners are in contact with their
<br />congressional representatives and await an answer from the Advisory Committee to the PMP issue,
<br />
<br />Bill Miller, USACE - I want to go on record that in FY98 the Corps ceased all dam safety activities, The
<br />Corps assured the state that we would be involved in this study as an observer, Since the legislation came out
<br />the Corps cannot respond to comments until the wording is changed in the legislation, The PMP number
<br />drives the flood, We went 10 the NWS to find this number, The Corps will have to review the two PMP
<br />Studies and decide how to use them, We are going to need to get a lot of help on this issue, - not just the
<br />Omaha office - but also from other agencies, There may be more entities that can help us, We will need all
<br />kinds of committees and other people to help us in this issue, Since we have stopped operations, we have not
<br />decided what our fmal recommendations will be, We will now need to decide where to go, We need to look at
<br />the infiltration rate; the state says one thing and we say another. We need to address the antecedent flood; we
<br />have a site, specific antecedent storm and need to address it as a group how we are going to handle this, We
<br />need more latitude in the wording of the Ie gislation that deals with the PMF; I am not drafting legislation
<br />here, our official people will do that; as districts, we don't draft legislation, We are going to make sure that
<br />the two congressmen understand and agree with what is being said in the wording and how the Corps will
<br />respond to the issue in the future,
<br />
<br />Larry Lang, CWCB - The Corps funding issue is on the table now before the community, What time frame
<br />are we looking at to get this back to the congressman?
<br />
<br />Jeanette Alberg, Allard's office - most of the deadlines have passed for appropriation requests for the FY
<br />2004; the biggest thing from Allards office would be the local support for this issue,
<br />
<br />Bob McGreggor, Greenwood Village - Doesn't the Corps have funding language we can use?
<br />
<br />Jeanette Alberg, Allard's office - Changes of wording can be made but not new appropriations can be
<br />requested, It is important to note that all 4 representative (2 Representatives / 2 Senators) need to support this
<br />issue, The more 'vocal' that local support is on this issue the more likely Congress will be interested to act.
<br />
<br />Larry Lang, CWCB - Our question is whether or not this group will allow the Corps to go on with the
<br />PMF? Are we at a point where we want the Corps to move ahead and address some of these PMP and PMF
<br />issues?
<br />
<br />Jack Byers, DWR - The Corps needs leeway to study this, and the Corps will see this as an impact to their
<br />other programs,
<br />
<br />Bob McGregor, Greenwood Village - This won't be decided here in a short conversation, It will take some
<br />real thought as how this is dealt with,
