<br />-.J <br /> <br />TUDOR ENGINEERING COMPANY <br /> <br />Mr. Ulrich Kappus <br />June 30, 1989 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />, <br />-.J <br /> <br />The Clear Creek Project could provide a major recreational attraction to <br />the Denver metropolitan area and to Clear Creek and Gilpin Counties. <br />Recreational opportunities could include activities such as: camping, hiking, <br />boating, and fishing. Recreational areas could be located along the reservoir <br />and throughout a corridor along Cl ear Creek Canyon downstream of the dam. <br />Project benefits beyond water supply and recreation may include improvements to <br />eXisting water quality, flood control to downstream communities, and production <br />of hydroelectric power. <br /> <br />The next step in project development should include further evaluation of <br />the plan for U.S. Highway 6 relocation. The evaluation should consider the <br />long-term needs of the local communities, the highway users, and the Clear Creek <br />water users. Future phases of project planning will require additional <br />investigations to select a specific dam and reservoir site in Clear Creek Canyon, <br />and to identify the environmental and socioeconomic issues to be addressed in <br />an environmental impact statement. As part of future investigations, an advisory <br />committee should be formed to enhance public involvement in the planning stages <br />of this major project. <br /> <br />We appreciate the continued opportunity to conduct these evaluations of <br />the Clear Creek basin. We wish to acknowledge the excellent support and guidance <br />we have received from you and your Project Manager, Ralph Kerr. We look forward <br />to working with you in the future. <br /> <br />-.J <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />-.J <br /> <br />TUDOR ENGINEERING COMPANY <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />Vice President <br /> <br />---' <br /> <br />Enclosure: As stated <br /> <br />-..i <br />
