A. Purpose of Addendum

This'Addendum to the Fina'

In early 1981, a Final Env

Since completion of the Fi~ to the
Congress, a study of the uPI ___'" no> r1nallZed by the Tudor
Engineering Corporation under a contract to the State of Colorado. The
conclusions of that study, while not considerate of development options
in the entire Cache la Poudre River basin, are sufficient to provide cur-
rent data with which to resolve some of the uncertainty that was present
in the Final Report (See Section C of this Chapter). The study results
have satisfied the State and Department of Agriculture (USDA), that know-
ledgeable recommendations may now be made on the main stem reaches of the
Poudre River within the study area.

B. Relation of Addendum to FEIS and Study Report

The Final Study Report contains the main body of information necessary to
analyze and document the conduct of this study. The basic findings of the
River's eligibility for designation are unchanged. This Addendum describes
and identifies two additional alternatives; they are developed,analyzed,
and portrayed in a format similar to the FEIS/SR. Only the data which are
new to the study, or analyses not made previously, are considered here.
Dollar amounts have been indexed to 1982 values using accepted Federal
standards.

During the preparation of this Addendum, some discrepancies in the number
of acres contained in the various segments, as shown in the FEIS/SR, were
found. Some of the discrepancies were due to land ownership changes which
have occured since the FEIS/SR was completed. Others were errors discov-
ered during this Addendum's preparation. The current acreage figures are
presented in Table A-6 of this Addendum. The discrepancies were not of a
magnitude sufficient to warrant revision of conclusions reached or recom-
mendations presented in the FEIS/SR.
