This Plan <br />expands on those goals and policies, giving <br />more specific direction. It does not replace <br />those plans but is intended to supplement <br />them. <br /> <br />This plan should be revised as necessary to <br />reflect the changing needs and priorities of <br />the watershed and citizens. A review after <br />five years of implementation is suggested, or <br />sooner if determined necessary. <br /> <br />OTHER WATER PLANNING <br />AND ADVOCACY EFFORTS <br /> <br />Northwest Colorado Council of Government's <br />208 Plan Update and Water Quality and <br />Quantity Program, the Colorado River <br />Headwaters Forum and the Eagle River <br />Assembly are all current efforts to formulate <br />solutions to the many water quality and <br />quantity issues faced in the watershed and <br />the region. Additional information on each of <br />these efforts is located in Appendix C. <br /> <br />,il\' <br /> <br />ORGANIZATION <br />OF THE PLAN <br /> <br />The Plan is organized into chapters, each <br />addressing a specific topic identified through <br />the planning process: Goals, Plan <br />Implementation, Water Quantity, Water <br />Quality, Wildlife, Recreation, and Land Use. <br /> <br />Each Chapter includes discussion on: Issues <br />identified during the process, Background to <br />create an understanding of the issues, and <br />Objectives and Recommended Actions that <br />should take place to implement the goals of <br />the plan. <br /> <br />It is not possible to entirely separate each <br />issue because of the inherent relationships <br />within the watershed. For example, water <br />quantity affects water quality, quantity and <br />quality affects wildlife habitat, land use <br />affects quantity and quality and so on. <br />Overlap between topics exists because of <br />these relationships, and in many cases, illu- <br />minates which actions are of greatest priority <br />because several issues can be addressed by <br />taking a specific action. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />7 <br />
