<br />In Federal FY-98, the fund provided $11,900 to Prowers
<br />County for the development of a local flood hazard
<br />mitigation plan, In addition, Prowers County received
<br />$54,000 in project funds for a band stabilization and
<br />channel improvement project at the City of Lamar sewer
<br />lagoons, Also, the City of FI. Collins received $52,000 in
<br />project funds to assist in the implementation of the Dry
<br />Creek Flood Control Project,
<br />
<br />Examples of eligible projects include: 1) elevation of
<br />insured structures; 2) acquisition of insured structures
<br />and real property; 3) relocation or demolition of insured
<br />structures; 4) dry floodproofing of insured structures;
<br />5) minor, localized structural projects that are not
<br />fundable by state or other federal programs; and 6)
<br />other activities that bring an insured structure into 3.2.1,2.3 Division of Water Resources

<br />the Colorado Revised 51alutes. The mission of the
<br />program is to prevent loss of life and property damage,
<br />and protect the state's water supplies from the failure of

<br />The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) completed the
<br />Colorado Landslide Hazard Mitigation Plan in 1988. The
<br />CGS continues to respond wrthin existing programs to
<br />floodplain and geologic hazard management goals,
<br />Salient points of continuing activities, as well as those
<br />that have been eliminated or curtailed, are described
<br />below.
<br />
<br />Block grant requests are now screened by the CGS by
<br />title and location, Only those thought to have serious
<br />potential geologic hazard or floodplain problems are
<br />reviewed in detail.
<br />
<br />The CGS continues to review some 51ate Building
<br />Division activities and all Colorado Department of Heallh
<br />referrals for review of sewage treatment plant sites,
<br />Because sewage treatment plants are frequently located
<br />on or near floodplains, careful location and engineered
<br />protection are frequently needed, These reviews are a
<br />powerful tool for implementation of hazard
<br />managemenl.
<br />
<br />The CGS also reviews all subdivision applications from
<br />unincorporated areas, This is a requirement of SB 35
<br />and it is now operated under a cash-funded fee system.
<br />These reviews provide an
<br />excellent opportunity for
<br />hazard review and
<br />recommendations for local
<br />governments. When
<br />geologic hazard problems
<br />are identified CGS staff
<br />recommend plat changes
<br />andfor mitigation measures.

<br />problems are identified CGS staff recommend
<br />delineations of the 100-year floodplain for review by the
<br />ewCB and any necessary changes in the plat or other
<br />initiation,
<br />
<br />, The CGS has assisted local governments and their
<br />staffs on education goals, There is a continuing need for
<br />such in-service training because of the relatively high
<br />turnover of local government officials and staff, The
<br />CGS recognizes the authority of local governments to
<br />regulate land use within their jurisdiction, but II serious
<br />problems are evident, CGS will inform the local
<br />government of the srtuation to be sure they are aware of
<br />it and the need to address il.
<br />
<br />The reservoir dams have been assigned hazard
<br />classifications based upon their potential for causing
<br />loss of life or property damage, High Hazard dams
<br />receive safety inspections annually, Significant Hazard
<br />dams bi-annually, and Low Hazard dams every six
<br />years, If a safety inspection finds a dam unsafe for full
<br />use, it is restricted in storage to ensure safety, The
<br />standards for High Hazard dams are greater than Low
<br />Hazard ones,
