In Colorado, all projects and operations under the Great Plains Region are managed out of the Eastern Colorado Area Office
located in Loveland, CO. The ECAO has a wide range of responsibilities in an area that stretches from Aspen, Colo. to the Kansas border and from the Wyoming
border to Trinidad, Colo.
At this time, all reservoirs for both
the Colorado-Big
Thompson Project in the northeastern part of the state and the Fryingpan-Arkansas
Project in the southeastern part of the state are sitting at approximately 125% of their storage capacity. They are full!
Additionally, the ECAO hosted its 14th annual CAST for Kids event at Horsetooth Reservoir the first weekend of June. Photos are available here.
Through both the C-BT and the Fry-Ark projects, the ECAO's daily responsibilities include supplying water for municipal, industrial, agricultural interests and for hydro-electric power generation. The office also oversees the Leadville Mine Drainage Tunnel and Treatment Plant
in the central part of the state, and the repayment portion of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's Trinidad Project in the southeastern part of the state. For
more information on the Trinidad Operations Plan, please see our Revised Draft 10 Year Review of the Trinidad Project.
