Re: [cobirds] Barr Lake EIS (Adams County)

[Susan Rosine]

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.

[cobirds] 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.
