From the Fort Collins Coloradoan (Bobby Magill):
The federal government sued the ditch owner, Fort Collins-based Water Storage and Supply Co., demanding compensation for the damage. A settlement was reached in 2008. Since then, park officials have been working with Colorado State University to gain a better understanding of the ecology of the area and how to return it to its natural state. The park is now turning to the public to comment on which of the five alternative reclamation plans works best before a final decision is made in late 2012. Those interested in voicing their concerns about the project have until Nov. 1 to do so and can meet with Rocky Mountain National Park officials to discuss the environmental impact of the reclamation process…
The National Park Service’s public meeting on Grand Ditch repairs will be at 7 p.m. Thursday inside the Café Columbine conference room, 802 W. Drake Road, Fort Collins.
