. These recent studies, while incomplete, confirm previous analysis and ~~~Qe Narrows Dam will be a safe structure. Further, there is no indication from data developed thus far that seepage from the reservoir - ^.. will be excessive or create conditions to undermine dam stability. 5. Validity of Flood Control Benefits Flood control benefits for the Narrows Unit are supplied by the Corps - of Engineers. The latest benefits were provided by the Corps in November 1975 based on the 3-l/4 percent authorized interest rate and r-- were $800,000 annually. These benefits were based on the assumption that Cherry Creek and Chatfield Lakes would be in place and operational. - The addition of Bear Creek take to the system would not affect the flood control benefit analysis for the Narrows Unit according to a ,....... letter from the Corps of Engineers dated April 22, 1977. 6. Reservoir would Dislocate 642 People ........ The 642 people are made up of 212 families. (The FES indicated that - 825 people would be displaced but an actual count recently completed reduced that number to 642.) Of the 212 families l3l are owner f . t occupants and 60 or 46 percent have requested appraisals. Of 8l renter occupants several families have indicated they are anxious to , move as soon as possible. A total of 90 owners, including resident ,. and aBsentee owners, have requested appraisals.
