<br />: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />DRAFT <br />BATollefson:ks <br />2/17/77 <br /> <br />UPDATE ON THE COLORADO WILD AND SCENIC RIVER STUDY <br /> <br />As our study nears some important decisionmaking points, we felt that <br /> <br />it was appropriate to let everyone know how the study has been <br /> <br />progressing. The following is a brief summary of what the study <br /> <br />team has been doing since the public meetings last July. <br /> <br />1. A summary of the input received at the July public meetings was <br /> <br />prepared. A copy of this summary has been enclosed. If you <br /> <br />desire more complete information on the outcome of those meetings, <br /> <br />please contact one of us. Thank you for taking the time to give <br /> <br />uS your thoughts. <br /> <br />2. In August the study participants made a field inspection of the <br /> <br />river. In all, about 25 individuals representing Federal and <br /> <br />State agencies, environmental organizations, and members of the <br /> <br />public participated in the field trip. <br /> <br />3. Following the public meetings the process of gathering resource <br /> <br />data was begun. Since that time we have been compiling information <br /> <br />on everything from vegetation, wildlife and minerals to population, <br /> <br />economy, transportation, and land use. This is one of the most <br /> <br />time consuming portions of the study, but should be completed by <br /> <br />mid-March. <br /> <br />0638 <br />
