November 2, 2026 · County 1041 vote

Eagle County approved a standalone 1041 package on October 27 and made it effective upon passage of a separate enacting resolution. Passage and the effective date remained unverified as of November 2. The package expressly includes fens in the definition of Waterbody. Whitney would require a separate project review.

How the water comparison works

The water comparison distinguishes Homestake Tunnel exports from flow past Gold Park and from the separate Red Cliff record. Slightly more water went through the tunnel than passed Gold Park during WY2007–2024. Each figure names its period and area; the basin’s rain and snow are climate estimates.

Wildlife sightings and breeding records

Historical breeding reports, current wildlife sightings and regional studies describe different evidence. The moose study concerns summer observations of 21 adult moose in and near Rocky Mountain National Park. It is regional evidence about water and habitat, not a measured Homestake population.

Which ground could flood

The reservoir outlines are labeled as Save Homestake models. We removed the earlier claim that more than 80% of Aurora’s parcel would flood because we could not reproduce that percentage. The separate calculation of wetland overlap remains available with its methods.

Why the fen maps differ

Two CNHP map services show different fen boundaries and counts for the same area. Their relationship remains unresolved, so the older dated map and newer inventory are identified separately. Different map counts do not mean that fens disappeared.

Adopted rules and proposed changes

The September 15, 2026 proposal is shown separately from the adopted Chapter VI rules. As of September 24, the planning-commission outcome was unconfirmed and the Board’s adoption hearing was scheduled for October 27, 2:30–4 p.m. An unsigned resolution template was not evidence of adoption. The dossier keeps that dated legal distinction with the source records.

Conservation already achieved and future plans

Conservation savings already achieved, the capacity of reuse systems and future goals are shown separately. Readers can compare what is operating with what is still planned.
