Northern Colorado Water’s Offer to Help Fund NISP EIS Approved

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has announced its decision to accept funding from the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (Northern Water), in order to expedite the preparation of the Northern Integrated Supply Project Environmental Impact Statement and evaluation of the NISP 404 Permit application. The Corps of Engineers has been hampered by a lack of funding since sequestration and Northern Water hopes its ability to pay for the EIS will expedite the project.  Those who oppose NISP say this decision will taint the Corps’ final decision, something the Corps denies.
