Promoting Collaboration and Cooperation

This proposal addresses consumptive needs of the Stagecoach Development and

will seek partners for recreational needs and other interests. It is a coolaboration

between the UYWCD and MCW&S. Additional partners will be sought as the
project feasibility is developed and permits sought.

Facilitating Water Activity Implementation

Funding will move this project from a concept to a feasibility stage and develop
these resources prior to urgent need in the Stagecoach area. We believe a five year

time frame is reasonable for this project based upon other projects developed by the
applicant. The UYWCD has already provided significant work in the development
of Morrison Creek water resources and will provide project management for this

proposal and future phases of the Morrison Creek Reservoir.
