Barr Lake EIS

[Norm Erthal]

I doubt if FRICO needs an EIS. When I was working at DOW we increased the storage of a reservoir and an EIS was not needed. Barr being an off channel reservoir likely would be exempt and FRICO would be allowed to basically remove most if not all of the large cottonwoods that are dead or dying because of the poosibility of them floating towards the outlet and the possibility of blocking it.

FRICO is removing all cottonwood trees right now, not just dead and dying ones. I'm at the Barr Lake Banding Station six days a week, and they are making their way towards us. They will continue (unless somehow stopped) past us, past the Nature Center, clear up to the biggest gazebo (eagle viewing one). For those who have been to Barr Lake, at the visitor/nature center, the trail does turn into a nature preserve, but if all goes as FRICO has planned, they will take out all the vegetation there as well. They are probably (I don't know for sure) stopping at the gazebo due to laws preventing destruction of Bald Eagle nesting areas. Too bad the eagles haven't used other trees around the lake for nesting.
