<br />. <br /> <br />the equipment needed to meet the tough standards <br />may be driven out of business by their large C(lrl- <br />petitors. <br /> <br />BUREAU OF RECLAMATION ADDS <br />ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALISTS <br /> <br />The Bureau of Reclamation has shifted several <br />employees with d wide range of specialities to for~ <br />an environmental staff.

RQMCOE again urged, as it did a <br />year ago, that top priority be given to the enactment <br />of "an effective and enforceable" state environmental <br />policy act patterned generally after the ilational <br />Environmental Policy Act of 1969. <br /> <br />In calling for an environmental policy act, <br />Kenneth R. Wri 9ht, ROMCOE pres i dent, stated; "Time <br />is runnin9 out. Colorado cannot afford to lose <br />another year in enacting strong, comprehensive <br />1egisla.tion to protect environmental quality. New <br />Mexico and r!ontana enacted such legislation in 1971. <br />HO'Wever, we feel that inclusion of specific numerical <br />population limitations for urban areas in tne 1971 <br />Colorado bill contributed greatly to its defeat. <br />This error should not be repeated..' However, ROMCOE <br />continues to support population provisions similar <br />to thOSlO' in thlO' federal Environmental Policy Act. <br />in which numerical limits are not stipulated. <br /> <br />According to \ojright, RQMCOE is also conClO'rned <br />that efforts to enact a state environmental poliCy <br />act may be fragmented by tl'1e introduction of a <br />"plethora" of ""ide1y varying bills. "It is cd tical <br />that citizens of the state be able to unite behind <br />one bi 11 ,~ !.'rignt said. <br /> <br />With regard to other major recommendations of the <br />Colorado Environrrrental Commission, ROHCDE too~ <br />these positions: <br />ROMCDE generally supports the concept and ob- <br />jective of an "envirOfll'lental bi 11 of rigMs <br />amendr..ent" to the state constitution, pro- <br />viding that i t ~i 11 actually achievlO' <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />,5, <br /> <br />substantive rights not now existing and will not <br />detract from efforts to enact needed legislation <br />on air quality, watlO'r quality, land use, strip <br />mining. transportation and other key environ- <br />mental concerns. <br /> <br />Enactment of a state \Oater pol icy and legislation <br />to g; ve the Colorado land Use CO/Trni ssion greater <br />autnority should both be given hig" priority. <br />Close coordination, if not the COlllbining, of <br />these two functions should be carefully con- <br />sidered. <br /> <br />""right. a hydraulic engineer, stated that "Water re- <br />sources development programs and land use decisions <br />are inc-.tricably related; one is the fulcrum for the <br />other. For too long water deCisions and I and use have <br />been severed. with each protected by a vacuum. !.'ater <br />development scherres cannot be allowed to continue to <br />force land use decisions. Actions of a state land use <br />cOllJl1isslon ...i11 prove futile if not related to water <br />management decisions. The u<,;e of water development to <br />force population growth, industrial e;o;pansion and <br />agricultural practiclO'S beyond the carrying capacity of <br />the land must be reexamined as a matter of critical <br />policy in this state." <br /> <br />CONNORS RECEIVES <br />MOUNTAIN CLUB AWARD <br /> <br />Ed Connors, President of the Colorado Open Space <br />Council (CDSCl, was named recipient of the Colorado <br />Mountain Club's 1971 Conservation Service Aware. <br /> <br />Connors, an educator and active environmentalist, <br />has worked with outstanding effectiveness behind the <br />scenes of all the major envirOmlental 'issues that <br />have faced Colorado in the past several years. casc <br />now includes 34 environmental groups throughout <br />Colorado. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />,~~ <br /> <br />W'lllht <br /> <br />ROMCO PRESIDENT ELECTED TO <br />BOULDER TOWN BOARD <br /> <br />Runnino on a strong environmentalist platfo~ <br />Kenneth R: Wright, President of the ROMCOE Board of <br />Directors, was elected to a four-year term on the <br />Boulder City Council. Wright polled 9.811 votes in <br />running a strong third in a field of t""enty-two <br />candidates for the five available seats. <br /> <br />Part of ~right' s campaign paraphernal ia was a <br />button .,mich read. "Wright is for the birds." A <br />strong showin9 of newly franchised 18-21 year old <br />voters from the University of Colorado campus <br />obviously had much to do ""ith turning out four in- <br />cumbent councilmen and electing a candidate who <br />ran on SUCh a blatant St. Francis platform. <br /> <br />ROMCOE ADDS STAFF MEMBER -- Jut ie Barker has <br />RQMCOE as Associate Director of DevlO'lopment. <br />will ...ark with Ma.
