The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in cooperation with the city of Greeley, will hold a public meeting on Monday, Apr. 21 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Rodarte Center, 920 A Street in Greeley, Colorado.
At this meeting, they will solicit comments on a draft feasibility study report and environmental assessment that identifies alternatives for flood risk management and ecosystem restoration within a 17-mile reach of the Cache la Poudre River, near Greeley.
There will be a formal presentation at 6:30 p.m. followed by a question and answer session.
“ Several nonstructural measures to address flood risk management appear to be feasible, including elevating houses, wet and dry flood proofing commercial structures, and constructing a floodwall around three Weld County buildings in Greeley, ” said Steve Rothe, project manager . “ Opportunities to increase critical habitat for migratory birds and other native species along eight miles of the study area are also discussed in the draft report,” according to Rothe.
