Corps of Engineers

Intent To Prepare a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement for

Cherry Creek Dam Safety Evaluation

Denver, Colorado

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

DOD.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: Cherry Creek Dam was

constructed in the 1940’s by the Corps

of Engineers primarily to provide flood

control for the City of Denver. Although

the project became operational in 1950,

the facility was operated without a

permanent pool until 1958. The State of

Colorado, through its Department of

Parks and Outdoor Recreation, operates

the project as Cherry Creek State Park.

A 1993 reconnaissance-level report by

the Corps revealed that the dam does

not meet the level of safety currently

required for such a project when located

upstream from a major metropolitan

area. The proposed action is to provide

increased flood storage capacity, an

increase in emergency spillway

capacity, or a combination of the two, so

as to bring the project up to current dam

safety guidelines/requirements.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

implementing regulations, an

environmental impact statement will be

prepared to analyze the impacts of the

proposed action and alternatives. Public

scoping meetings have been scheduled

to solicit comments regarding the scope

of the environmental studies.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Questions about the proposed action

and Environmental Impact Statement

should be directed to: Ms. Candace M.

Thomas, Chief, Environmental Analysis

Branch,U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

215 North 17th Street, Omaha, Nebraska

68102–4978; telephone (402) 221–4598,

FAX (402) 221–4886.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A selected

plan has yet to be defined. A number of

possible alternatives were identified in

the 1993 report; it is planned to refine

the number of alternatives in the current

study. The alternatives most likely to be

studied in detail in the EIS are as

follows:

• No Federal Action.

• A dam rise.

• A supplemental spillway.

• A combination of dam raise and

addition of a supplemental spillway.

• Supplemental upstream storage.

• Other, partial solutions such as

closing the existing spillway and/or

changes to the existing outlet works

capacity.

An afternoon public open house and

evening scoping meeting have been

scheduled for March 4, 1997 at 2:00

p.m. and 7:00 p.m. respectively at the

Holiday Inn Denver Southwest, 3200

South Parker Road, Aurora, Colorado.

The purpose of these meetings is to

solicit input on issues, alternatives to be

evaluated, and potential environmental

effects. Written comments will also be

solicited.

Potential significant environmental

issues include possible impacts to

threatened and endangered species,

wetlands, upstream areas of special

biological significance, and social and

economic impacts to upstream and

downstream residences and businesses.

Other applicable and pertinent

environmental review and consultation

requirements will be undertaken

simultaneously with the NEPA process,

including requirements of the

Endangered Species Act, Fish and

Wildlife Coordination Act, National

Historic Preservation Act, Clear Water

Act, Clear Air Act, and others.

Army Federal Register Liaison Officer.
