We understand this proposal will go before the <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board at the March 12th and 13th meeting. This proposal is up <br />for competitive funding from the SB-179 legislation. <br /> <br />The Gunnison Basin is beginning to see development pressure from the energy industry. The <br />GBRT feels it is important to quantify the consumptive needs of the energy industry to better <br />understand how this emerging industry will impact our water supplies. The GBRT anticipates <br />we will also be conducting a similar study in the near future and we anticipate using the baseline <br />data that will be developed in this study for our own needs assessment. <br /> <br />Please include this letter of support from the GBR T in the packets for the Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board Members prior to the March 12th and 13th meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />Michelle Pierce <br />Gunnison Basin Roundtable Chair <br /> <br />Cc Dave Merritt, Colorado Basin Roundtable Chair <br />Tom Sharp, Yampa and White Basins Roundtable C~air <br />
