State of Gross Dam Reservoir Presentation
This Thursday, 7pm at CCCIA (Coal Creek Canyon Community Center)
On Thursday, December 6th, at the CCCIA Hall (Coal Creek Canyon Community Center), the board of TEG (The Environmental Group) aided by members of CSWM (Citizens for Sustainable Water Management) will present the latest information and answer questions about Denver Water’s proposed expansion of Gross Dam Reservoir (aka the Moffat Collection System Project).
The unnecessary expansion of Gross Dam, as proposed by Denver Water, would take 4 or more years to complete, with many detrimental impacts on residents in the mountain and foothills communities. The amount of environmental damage inherent in a massive construction project such as this is staggering, but this proposed project is unique in that it would nearly totally consume (diverting 80% of natural flows) the Fraser River on the other side of the Continental Divide.
TEG, specifically through the efforts of its project group CSWM (Citizens for Sustainable Water Management), has been working hard to find ways to stop the project.
Come to the Coal Creek Canyon Community Center (CCCIA), 31528 Highway 72, on Thursday December 6th to learn all about TEG’s efforts and findings, and discover what needs to be done in order to succeed in stopping the dam. TEG’s monthly board meeting will be held at 5:30pm, followed by a pot-luck and the “State of the Dam” event at 7pm. The evening is free and open to the public.
