The effort to stop the proposal by Denver Water to expand Gross Reservoir Dam by 131 feet has gotten some strong publicity lately. Please check out these media features on Colorado Public Radio to hear interviews with involved parties.
In the next few months we expect the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to finish their permit and “Record of Decision” for the Gross Reservoir (“Moffat”) expansion project. We believe there’s only a slim chance that the Corps will deny the permit, so we are diligently preparing for the next and final stage of the fight, in court.
Working with Save The Colorado, TEG has now joined a coalition of environmental groups that intend to challenge the Corps’ permit in court. We’ve retained an attorney and have a team of legal and other professionals in place to file lawsuits when the time comes. We’ve also set up an ear-marked bank account, the “Boulder and Colorado River Legal Defense Fund” (BCRLDF), a specialproject account managed by TEG, to which all people and groups fighting the expansion can donate to fund the lawsuit. We believe we have a strong chance to win the lawsuit and stop the expansion!
Save the Date: Sunday, March 5th
TEG will be hosting a community gathering to update everyone on the latest status on our fight and to let you speak to Community leaders about this project. Please plan to join us at 3pm at the Coal Creek Community Improvement Association facility to hear the latest news, ask questions and visit with neighbors. We will keep you posted on details and will hope to see you there!
Once again, please consider including us in your year-end tax deductible charitable giving plans. As you know this is entirely a grassroots lead endeavor so it is up to the people who live close to, and/or love & appreciate, Gross Reservoir to contribute the resources necessary to effectively win this fight.
