The proposed Gross Reservoir Expansion Project would add an additional 900,000 cubic feet of concrete to the existing dam, effectively tripling the size of the reservoir.
Key Points:
- The proposed Gross Reservoir Expansion Project would add an additional 900,000 cubic feet of concrete to the existing dam, effectively tripling the size of the reservoir.
- If completed, the Gross Dam would be the tallest in Colorado and the tallest roller-compacted concrete dam in the United States.
- We look forward to presenting our legal challenge to this permit in federal court as soon as possible.
- The conservation groups are represented by the Washington, DC public interest law firm Eubanks & Associates, PLLC.
