<br />· Website- a page explaining what to begin collecting and how to <br />. Well seminars- <br />· County outreach at HOA meetings, etc. <br />· Brochure- an "everyday person" brochure that explains the data needed to start a <br />study <br />3. Review of Scoping Document for Phase II MGWRS <br />Elements 1-2: Upgrades and operation of monitoring network <br />~ Temperature and runoff drive the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS). <br />~ Will increase data collection efforts. <br />~ Bob Longenbaugh: CSU has::!: Stevens Recorders that we might be able to use. <br />Element 8: Borehole geophysics and aquifer hydralic characteristics oversight <br />~ National Research Program has some of this equipment. <br />Element 12: Development of evapotranspiration distribution algorithms <br />~ Evapotranspiration Tower (ET) measurements to be coupled with other characteristics of sites (i.e., <br />vegetation, slope, aspect, soils, etc.) <br /> <br />DISCUSSION: <br /> <br />~ Why not use a ground water modeling tool in addition to PRMS modeling tool? Put model together <br />up front to help determine what we still need. A ground water model will be a useful tool in the long <br />run. (Eileen Poeter). Decision was made early on to focus on empirical data. <br /> <br />~ Concern that we have 6-8 months to collect and analyze and create tool. The group needs to focus on <br />what "tool(s)" the county needs and which of these elements are going to get us there. There is <br />concern that there will be no time or money to accomplish all of these. <br /> <br />ANNOUNCEMENTS: <br />~ Jean Reince Schwartz: Grant-funded activities: <br /> <br />· CDPHE Water Quality Sampling <br /> <br />30 samples, 10 parameters - would have cost $lOk if done outside EPA <br /> <br />. 319 Booklet Workgroup Status and required input <br /> <br />Consider including in quantity section an overview on mountains in the arid west - the <br />misperceptions about water/precipitation/ET, etc. "We live in mountains and get twice <br />the precipitation of Denver we have plenty of dollars." <br /> <br />~ Dick Burrows: Feels the public wants information now. They'll have a hard time waiting until the <br />end of Phase II. <br /> <br />JRS:ps <br /> <br />MGWRS Steering Committee Meeting <br />March 16, 2001 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br />
