I'm worried about preparing for an EIP when the organizers aren't even
considering the state's indiginous species in the discussion.

There is NO WAY that all the introduced species of plants and animals
will be removed and all the indigenous ones restored to the river
corridor that would be affected by the reservoir. This is not Rocky
Mountain National Park. It is a river corridor that runs through the
city of Fort Collins then easterly through farm country. There are
countless numbers of introduced species in the area. There are parks,
gardens, homes, bike paths, farms, ranches, ponds, etc. all along the
corridor.

Actually there is a chub on the endangered list that lives in the lower
river. I believe a study on the chub that was done by one of the members
of our group will be part of the EIS. Greenbacks are no longer on that
list and they no longer exist in that part of the drainage.

Water quality studies will be included that show high levels of
estrogen, nitrates, etc levels in the water.



Seems like folks just don't want to hear the C word in Colorado.

What is the C word?
