Arkansas Basin Roundtable <br />Meeting of February 8, 2006 <br /> <br />Meeting Notes <br /> <br />The meeting notes attempt to follow the agenda. <br /> <br />1. Chairman Hamel convened the meeting and asked all attending to introduce themselves. Mr. <br />Ralf Topper of the Colorado Geologic Survey presented a Colorado Groundwater Atlas to the <br />Roundtable for its use. 42 voting members of the 53 seated members of the Roundtable were <br />present, a 79% attendance, and the Chairman declared a quorum established. A 50% majority <br />was determined to be 22 vot es, a 67% majority to be 28 votes. <br /> <br />2. Mr. Harold Miskel, the CWCB liaison, introduced the Statewide Water Supply Initiative <br />presentation, giving a brief history of that program. Ms. Sue Morea of CDM presented the <br />findings of Phase I of SWSI, with emphasi s on the Arkansas basin. Mr. Smith expressed the <br />opinion that consumptive use (CU) was approximately 1/3 higher in Lake County that reported in <br />SWSI. Mr. Verquer asked how historic consumptive use (HCU) was calculated? Ms. SeEtta <br />Moss commented that rec ent demand reductions resulting from increased conservation practices <br />had not been factored into the demand estimates. Mr. Smith asked if dry - up of agriculture as <br />depicted on a slide was only related to in - basin demand or both in - basin and out - of - basin de mand? <br /> The response was in - basin only. <br /> <br />Mr. Miskel responded to questions about statewide water and the availability of water from the <br />Colorado Compact. He followed that discussion with a description of Phase II of SWSI and the <br />interface between SWSI II and the Roundtable process. <br /> <br />3. The IBCC Representatives, Mr. Danielson, Mr. Hamel, and Mr. Vanderschuere (appointed by <br />the Governor), plus Ms. Jane Rawlings who also attended, gave their impressions from the first <br />Interbasin Compact Committee meeting. D raft bylaws and a charter from the IBCC were <br />distributed, Members being asked to forward their comments and input to the IBCC <br />representatives at their earliest opportunity. The next IBCC meeting is scheduled for March 3, <br />2006, prior to the next Arkansas R oundtable meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Danielson encouraged Members to begin identifying issues for discussion by the Roundtable <br />and the IBCC, both internal basin issues and state level issues. Legislation affecting the <br />roundtable process was also discussed, HB 1142, Ro tating Crop Management or Fallowing Bill <br />and SB 179, Concerning Additional Financial Support for Water Projects. The discussion <br />indicated that SB 179 is specifically targeted to support projects generated by the roundtable <br />process. Finally, Mr. Danielson expressed optimism about the initial dialogue at the IBCC, stating <br />he thought the exchange of ideas was excellent. <br /> <br />Mr. Vanderschuere stated that he felt the IBCC needed to ask tough questions about the <br />availability of water for Colorado’s entitlement un der the Colorado River Compact. He also <br />affirmed that IBCC Director Russell George was intent on submitting a charter to the General <br />
