<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />003052 <br /> <br />- 3 - <br /> <br /> <br />basis for coordination. The Board needs information from the U. S. Depl;rtment <br />of agd.culture that will fill the "gap" which exists between farm-by-farm <br />conservation operations information and the larger project-type information, <br />now available, or to be made available by the Corps of Engineers, Bureau of <br />Reclamation, and other interested Federal agencies. <br /> <br />The U. S. Department of Agriculture needs information about opportunities <br />and need for development of water and related land resources including out- <br />door recreation, as a part of multiple purpose planning, development and <br />use of the natural resources, including sub-watershed units of'250,000 acres <br />or less, within the basin. Local organizations. can sponsor the development <br />of these opportunities with the assistance available from the Department <br />under the provisions of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act <br />(P. L. 566, 83rd Congress, as amended). <br /> <br />There are four soil conservation districts in the drainage area of the Yampa <br />River. Interest in possible development of projects under p. L. 566 is high, <br />especially in agd.cultural water management and recreation. <br /> <br />.The physical and other conditions in the Yampa River Basin are such that an <br />over-all basin framework plan is a prerequisite to the sound development of <br />P. L. 566 projects which are coordi2:;~g with existing or prospective projects <br />or programs of other agencies. t. f m'9Wf1rk plan is designed to be a composite <br />of existing and proposed projects and of development opportunities selected <br />from available information and from this and other investigations. The <br />composite would present relationships among the various elements in the <br />plan, thereby providing a basis for coordination. <br /> <br />COORDINATION ARRANGEMENTS OF <br />THE COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD <br /> <br />The Colorado Water Conservation Board has requested assistance and will <br />assist in coordinating agency efforts to meet agreed upon objectives. <br /> <br />Concerned local, State and Federal agencies include: <br /> <br />Local <br /> <br />1.
