<br />The management of the South Platte River corridor is 1mportant. In fact,
<br />it is key to upgrading the corridor. lOe have included a section in the
<br />report on River Corridor Management.

<br />Dear Mr. Tucker:
<br />
<br />The master planninQ included the detailed study of eight distinct river
<br />reaches. For each'reach n\JITIerous alternat1ves were considered and select
<br />alternatives were studied in detail. The study of alternatives included
<br />engineering evaluation, construction costing, determination of flood dam_
<br />agesandd<Ynagereduction,andeconomicanalys1s.
<br />
<br />The preliminary design of the 40 mile reJch of the South PlatteRiv erfrom
<br />ChatHeld Reservoir to Br;qhton ha~ been comolete<'!. The river corridor
