<br />~ <br />.- -...,.... <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />(e <br /> <br />(e <br /> <br />The Hon. Dirk Kempthorne <br />Page Two <br /> <br />Accordingly, I urge BLM not to recol end in stream flow appropriations that terminate <br />at the state line in Colorado. In additi , BLM should take no further steps to appropriate <br />in Jackson County, or similarly situatJ counties, without the consent of all affected <br />landowners and the relevant water dis I . cts. Finally, BLM should restrict its <br />recommendations to streams upon wh h reliable gage data exists. Alternatively, BLM <br />could work with stakeholders to instal stream gages and begin to record measurements, <br />from that point, for an adequate peri fyears. <br /> <br />Irrigation and water development in J1 kson County has improved the natural <br />environment. Irrigated hay meadows ovide wildlife habitat and ensure many streams <br />now flow year-round. With ingenuity d hard work, rather than federal mandates, <br />private land in Jackson County has be~ me exceptionally productive for both people and <br />the environment. ! <br />I <br />I <br />Please help ensure that remains the c~ in this unique part of Colorado. Thank you for <br />your attention to this important matter: <br />, <br />i <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />i <br />! <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />Si~ U 441 <br />Wayne %~ <br /> <br />United States Senator <br /> <br />cc.
