A. Eidsness, Jr. <br />Director~ 208 Water Quality Planning <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />SUBJ: Corps of Engineers' Proposal for Study of Urban <br />Flooding Potential on the Poudre River <br /> <br />As you know, the Army Corps of Engineers (COE) is proposing <br />a study of the flood potential of alternative land use patterns <br />in the Poudre River Basin. A copy of a'general summary of the <br />work plan is attached. <br /> <br />I would like to su"gest that,the staffs of our respective <br />organizations reach Some concensus, if possible, as to the <br />viahility or suitability of the proposed study .and present our <br />views to the elected officials. In addition, we owe a courtesy <br />to the COE to be specific as to what our needs are in this <br />regard so that they can respond accordingly. <br /> <br />Therefore, I request that you provide written comments by <br />Monday, February 13, 1977, on the summary proposal and make <br />specific requests for the type of information you would like <br />to see generated in such a study along with the use to which it <br />would be put by local units of government. <br /> <br />If you envision your work schedule being time-dependent <br />upon the Corps of Engineers' proposed study, please so indicate. <br /> <br />Finally, please indicate the level of detail or "degree of <br />resolution II you ~would requir'e in order for t11e study to be <br />useful. For example, are you interested in determining bridge <br />design criteria at specific l~cations along the poudre River <br />or the extent of localized or neighborhood flooding resulting <br />from different types of land uses or increased percent imper- <br />viousness in drainage sub-basins. <br /> <br />Our intent~on is to call a meeting the third week of <br />February to discuss our respective comments. The COG Governing <br />Board will review the COG Staff comments and recommendations at <br />the March 2, 1977, Governing Board meeting. <br /> <br />FAE:psj <br />Ene. <br />
