Several stream <br />segments in the Gunnison River Basin are <br />out of compliance with Colorado's water <br />quality standards including the lower <br />Uncompahgre and Gunnison Rivers, <br />Sweitzer Lake and Leroux Creek. The <br />Gunnison River Basin Selenium Task Force <br />has been formed to find ways to reduce <br />selenium within these reaches while <br />maintaining the economic viability and <br />lifestyle of the lower Gunnison River Basin. <br />The NIWQP is interested in reducing <br />impacts from federal irrigation projects and <br />is concerned about potential impacts to <br />endangered Colorado River fish. <br /> <br />Please call or send us Your thoUQhts on <br />the enclosed Comment Card. <br /> <br />Ideas for future newsletters? <br />What information you would like presented <br />in future newsletters?
