There are other cases where wildlife values and floodplain management values can coincide. In some urban or urbanizing areas, protection of undeveloped riparian lands for wildlife areas can also serve to preserve those lands in their undeveloped state and eliminate flood hazards by keeping out structures that would be subject to such hazards. Obviously there would still be a balance between preserving riparian vegetation and maintaining adequate channel capacity, but the opportunity exists to preserve the same area for two purposes. Fountain Creek in Pueblo is an example. One limitation on the Division of wildlife's role is that they have to justify the acquisition of lands on the basis of current wildlife values, not potential values. Where those current values indicate its appropriateness, the Division can act to work with communities on the condemnation or other means of acquisition of floodplains or on their management for wildlife values. An important vehicle for Division of Wildlife to provide input into floodplain decisions is the U.S. Army Corps' 404 Permit process. One other such vehicle is Senate Bill 40, concerning the protection of fishing streams. This bill is primarily intended to assure that the planning process for highways in river areas considers protect ion of the rivers for fishing. Other state activities are also included, with the exception of irrigation projects. The Colorado Water Conserva- tion Board administers the "minimum stream flow program with the assistance and recommendations of this Division. The Division of Wildlife also comments on all applications to the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission. A recent project where there were some problems was during the Big Thompson recovery effort. Obviously, at the outset, as- sisting property owners and others who suffered in the flood was deemed more important than recovering wildlife habitat. Later in the project, the Division of Wildlife provided one staff person on site to assist in the planning and reconstruction process. It is still felt, though, that along with the important concerns for people and their property, recovery policy should delineate that the loss of wildlife resources should be recoverable. 2.5.5 Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation The programs the Division administers in floodplain areas include recreation development on reservoirs, the state trails program, the minimum streamflow program, and Land and Water Funds. In administering these programs there are no established rules or regulations used to implement the Governor's Executive Orders regarding floodplain management and flood insurance. The Division has flOOdplain maps for areas that it manages, but they are not used in the administration of these areas. The only flood protection plans developed by the Division are devel- opment plans for reservoir recreation facilities where reservoir high water lines are a factor in locating and designing those facilities. 58
