(EPCW A) in the Arkansas River Basin for the Upper Black Squirrel Creek Basin
Aquifer Recharge and Storage Evaluation. The objective of the project is to
evaluate and refine the existing knowledge of the hydrogeology of the alluvial
aquifer system in the Upper Black Squirrel Creek Basin for the purposes of
assessing the potential for aquifer recharge and storage implementation. Funding
will be contingent upon resolution of the items in the issues/additional needs
section of the application. Harris Sherman was not present for this agenda item.
The motion was approved (7-0).

Tape 2, Track 2 01:41:47 -01:44:29
Action: A motion was made by Harold Miskel and seconded by John Redifer to withdraw
the Arkansas Basin Account Grant Request Application in an amount up to
$50,000 from the Water Supply Reserve Account by the Arkansas Roundtable in
the Arkansas River Basin for the Arkansas Basin Water Supply Needs Matrix
until the May 2007 CWCB Board Meeting. The motion was approved
unanimously (8-0).

Tape 2, Track 3 00:00:00 - 00:06:37
Action: A motion was made by John Redifer and seconded by Carl Trick to approve a
Statewide Grant Request Application in an amount up to $250,000 from the
Water Supply Reserve Account to the Eagle Park Reservoir Company in the
Colorado River Basin for the Eagle Park Reservoir Enlargement. The purpose
and need for the proposed reservoir enlargement is to provide additional water
during late summer, fall and winter months to meet growing water supply needs
in Eagle County. Grant funding would be used to cover up to 68% of the cost
associated with final design engineering, environmental studies, permitting,
construction and mitigation of 0.27 acre of wetlands impacts. Funding will be
contingent upon resolution of the items in the issues/additional needs section of
the application. Harris Sherman was not present for this agenda item. The
motion was approved (7-0).

Tape 2, Track 3 00:06:37 - 00:25:58
Action: A motion was made by John Redifer and seconded by Harris Sherman to approve
a Colorado Basin Account Grant Request Application in an amount up to
$30,000 from the Water Supply Reserve Account to the Board of County
Commissioners, Grand County for Grand and Summit Counties in the Upper
Colorado River, Fraser, Williams Fork, and Blue Rivers for the Grand County
Stream Management Plan (SMP) to develop a scientifically defensible
methodology for a non-consumptive water needs stream management plan for
Grand County in order to determine the critical stream reaches, flow times, and
key flow needs. The Stream Management Plan will also develop a framework to
identify problematic stream reaches and recommend approaches to determine
flow solutions to address instream flow and other aquatic habitat issues to protect
important environmental and recreational values, while continuing to allow for
development of water needed for human consumption on both the West Slope
and the Front Range of Colorado. Funding will be contingent upon resolution of
the items in the issues/additional needs section of the application. Harold Miskel
asked if the Grand County Stream Management Study met Threshold Criteria #2,
in that the application would result in a water activity that is consistent with

Flood Protection. Water Supply Planning and Finance. Stream and Lake Protection
Water Supply Protection. Conservation and Drought Planning
