- 5 - Ed Tomlinson, AWA- Yes, it is in the report; but in the HMRs we don't know what storms were used to determine PMP in the Cherry Creek area, Lou Schreiner, BOR- Am I going to have an opportunity to state my findings? Larry Lang, CWCB- We need to cover the congressional items first and then further discuss this after lunch, By May 16th we will need to have the TRP comments and the NWS comments, This was our chance to give the draft report to the advisory committee, The Corps have been receptive to this process and now they need a bit of leeway to address the PMF in the future, Our study partners are in contact with their congressional representatives and await an answer from the Advisory Committee to the PMP issue, Bill Miller, USACE - I want to go on record that in FY98 the Corps ceased all dam safety activities, The Corps assured the state that we would be involved in this study as an observer. Since the legislation came out the Corps cannot respond to comments until the wording is changed in the legislation, The PMP number drives the flood, We went to the NWS to find this number. The Corps will have to review the two PMP Studies and decide how to use them, We are going to need to get a lot of help on this issue, - not just the Omaha office - but also from other agencies, There may be more entities that can help us, We will need all kinds of committees and other people to help us in this issue, Since we have stopped operations, we have not decided what our final recommendations will be, We will now need to decide where to go, We need to look at the infiltration rate; the state says one thing and we say another, We need to address the antecedent flood; we have a site-specific antecedent storm and need to address it as a group how we are going to handle this, We need more latitude in the wording of the legislation that deals with the PMF; I am not drafting legislation here, our official people will do that; as districts, we don't draft legislation, Weare going to make sure that the two congressman understand and agree with what is being said in the wording and how the Corps will respond to the issue in the future, Larry Lang, CWCB - The Corps funding issue is on the table now before the community, What time frame are we looking at to get this back to the congressman? Jeanette Alberg, Allard's office - most of the deadlines have passed for appropriation requests for the FY 2004; the biggest thing from Allards office would be the local support for this issue, Bob McGreggor, Greenwood Village - Doesn't the Corps have funding language we can use? Jeanette Alberg, Allard's office - Changes of wording can be made but not new appropriations can be requested, It is important to note that all 4 representative (2 Representatives / 2 Senators) need to support this issue, The more 'vocal' that local support is on this issue the more likely Congress will be interested to act. Larry Lang, CWCB - Our question is whether or not this group will allow the Corps to go on with the PMF? Are we at a point where we want the Corps to move ahead and address some of these PMP and PMF issues? Jack Byers, DWR - The Corps needs leeway to study this, and the Corps will see this as an impact to their other programs, Bob McGregor, Greenwood Village - This won't be decided here in a short conversation, It will take some real thought as how this is dealt with, Jack Byers, DWR - If this report has to wait until FY 05 to be addressed, it will not go over well with the sponsors; we need to get this process moving forward; it cannot wait until 05; they need the funds now; Flood Protection.
