Staying engaged…with river conservation while the Army Corps ponders it decision on Moffat.
This past Fall the Army Corps of Engineers, for the 2nd time, postponed it release of its “Record of Decision” (“ROD”) for the Moffat Collection System Project / Expansion of Gross Reservoir. Currently, they project a release “in 2016”. But we’re not sitting idly by waiting for them to make up their mind; we’ve continued to draft and submit white papers further strenthening our arguments against a decision in favor of the project, and we are increasingly advantageously poised for success in a legal case against the Corps, should they decide in favor of the project.
But while we are working the legal frontline of river conservation in Colorado, others are bringing artistic talent to the struggle – not the least of which is acclaimed photographer John Fielder. Please join us for an evening of photos, inspiration, and beer(!) on Friday, January 29th, 7-9pm at Twisted Pine Brewing (3201 Walnut St, Boulder, CO). John will show some of the amazing photos in his new book, “Colorado’s Yampa River: Free Flowing and Wild from the Flat Tops to the Green.” The event is free and open to the public, but when you buy a copy of John’s new book, a portion of the proceeds are donated to our Boulder County and Colorado River Legal Defense Fund, further our effort to put the kibosh on Moffat/Gross. Share the facebook event and invite your friends: https://www.facebook.com/events/1681533055437311/
Stay tuned for details on our upcoming 4th Annual Colorado River Celebration in March!
Donate to our Boulder County & Colorado River Legal Defense Fund to help us challenge Denver Water’s Moffat Collection System Project (Gross Dam/Reservoir Expansion) in court. Together, we can stop this!
