As requested by the Board at the January 24, 2007 CWCB meeting, staff sent letters to the water
right holders located within the proposed in stream flow reaches to inform them: 1) the Board
formed its intent to appropriate the above-mentioned streams, 2) they have the opportunity to
comment in person before the Board at the March meeting or in writing, 3) if they choose, they
may formally contest these appropriations before the Board and 4) where on the CWCB website
they will find more detailed information.

In addition to these efforts, staff has been communicating with Terry Scanga, Manager ofthe
Upper Arkansas WCD and Dr. Timothy McLeod, a landowner along Alder Creek, to ensure that
all parties are aware of the appropriations. In accordance with the ISF Rules, staff mailed
noticed to the Fremont and Saguache County Commissioners and sent a notice to all on the
