Denver CO Final Mile Delivery

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the FEIS is to provide decision makers and the public with information pertaining to the proposed action, and to disclose environmental impacts and identify mitigation measures to reduce impacts. The FEIS analyzes the Parker Water and Sanitation District's proposal to construct and operate Rueter-Hess Reservoir and the associated water delivery system. The proposed reservoir would be located in Douglas County, CO approximately 12 miles southeast of Denver and 3 miles southwest of the town of Parker. The reservoir would be located on Newlin Gulch with a diversion structure along Cherry Creek. The project would include a 16,200 acre-
foot (AF) reservoir inundating 470 acres, a 5,300-foot long and 135-foot high dam, two pipelines, a water treatment plant and booster pump station, a diversion structure along Cherry Creek with a pump station, and 16 Denver Basin extraction wellfields.
    The proposed water supply system would rely upon renewable sources of water, including the capability of capturing, storing, and reusing seasonal high flows in nearby Cherry Creek, and Advanced Wastewater Treatment (AWT) return flows currently discharged into Cherry Creek. The water from the reservoir would be used primarily to help satisfy the District's peak seasonal demands, thereby reducing the loading on nonrenewable Denver Basin aquifer groundwater and maximizing use of renewable water resources. The reservoir is needed by the District to provide operational flexibility to ensure a long-term, reliable water supply. In addition to the proposed action, the FEIS analyzes two
alternatives: (1) the Reduced Capacity Reservoir (11,200 AF), and (2) the No Action.
    The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was published in
February 2002. A combined public hearing on the DEIS and section 404
permit application was held on March 12, 2002 in Parker, CO. The comments and responses are included in the FEIS.
