Based <br />on comments from our staff and constituents, this has been a productive process. We <br />support and congratulate you on convening the Roundtable. <br /> <br />In preparing a new Management Plan, your staff has evaluated streams segments for <br />eligibility for Wild and Scenic River designation. We understand that you have placed <br />approximately 42 streams on the eligibility list. We further understand that you now <br />intend to undertake a process to determine the "suitability" of those eligible streams for <br />Wild and Scenic River designation. <br /> <br />At the Roundtable meeting August 2, 2006, you briefly mentioned a process you plan to <br />follow in conducting the suitability analysis. The purpose of this letter is to request that <br />you provide a written description of the suitability analysis process so that we and our <br />constituents can fully understand and participate in that process. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration in this matter, and we look forward to working with <br />you and your staff. If you have any questions please contact Ann McCoy in Senator <br />Allard's office at 970-375-6311, Ann Brown in Senator Salazar's office at 970-259-1710, <br />or John Whitney in Congressman Salazar's office at 970-375-3264. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />b~ <br /> <br /> <br />eseniative <br />
