Important Water Issues: Environmental Impact Study Comment PeriodKirk Klancke gave us a brief summary of the latest information at our November 5 Breakfast Meeting. The text from a Trout Unlimited email by Kirk is included here. Please go to the Downloads section of this web site to get more information on the Moffat Firming Project.
The public comment period has begun and the Colorado River Headwaters Chapter of Trout Unlimited is working with National TU to interpret the draft Environmental Impact study as quickly as we can to develop the comment points.
We will also be holding a meeting in Grand County in mid November to educate our chapter members and members of the public on the public comment process.
There will be public hearings in Boulder (Dec.1) SilverCreek (Dec.2) and Denver (Dec.3). We will prepare everyone to be effective at these hearings and in their written comments.
The future of the Fraser River depends on the political will of the people in Colorado and it is our chapter’s mission statement to make sure that every voice possible can be heard.
