county’s approval of the Northern Integrated Supply Project last fall.
In the suit filed in Larimer County District Court, No Pipe Dream Corp., Save Rural NoCo Corp. and the Save The Poudre group argue that the board ignored evidence of multiple adverse environmental impacts by redirecting some flow from the Poudre River into the two reservoirs that would be built in northern Larimer County and northern Weld County.
In particular, the groups claim the board ignored evidence that redirecting some of the river’s flow would cause significant water quality degradation in the Poudre and the wetlands along it, along with flooding a valley in the county that would displace wildlife. The board is also accused of ignoring alternative measures on siting the reservoirs or the water pipelines that are included in the project plans.
