<br />NOlih Platte Basin Roundtable Meeting Minutes, May 22,2007 <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Bob asked Erin L. if she had gotten a call from anyone. She said no. There was <br />discussion about the list of key structures. Emphasis is on accurate data for the North <br />Platte. <br /> <br />Debbie Alpe asked about how the old data was made up, how the model was developed. <br />Bob talked about the database from division of water resources and how they sat down <br />with Sue P. and Caid Waldron and Bob P., and worked through getting water rights <br />correct and key structures correct. It was done by water commissioners and consultants. <br />Sue hasn't gotten a chance to go thorough it yet. <br /> <br />Kent talked about the task orders: non-consumptive uses, unappropriated waters, crop <br />coefficients. The roundtable will talk about crop coefficients next month. Kent <br />explained the unappropriated water task order and what he thought it was asking for. <br />Kent will let the Needs Assessment committee know the times of the meeting with Ted <br />Kowalski and Ray Alvarado, and anyone who wants to come to the meeting is welcome. <br />CDM might be coming, but Kent is not sure. <br /> <br />Sandy K. asked how many places are in basin where there is a discrepancy about who <br />owns the water rights. Erin L. can't speak to ownership on water rights; they are not <br />required to have that on file. Sue said some of the older rights are harder to track. <br />Depending on the ditch, some have problems, but some are nice and clean. Some may <br />require an attorney to figure out the water rights. <br /> <br />Kent talked about the email from Eric about a groundwater training (Groundwater <br />Institute). The IBCC public education committee will pay for one member from each <br />roundtable to attend this training, so they can report back to the roundtable. Kent said if <br />any member wants to go down, to let him know and the IBCC will pay for registration <br />fee. The training lasts two days. We don't have a lot of groundwater problems in this <br />basin, but if someone is interested in learning more, they are welcome to tell Kent. <br />Travel and lodging are not covered. <br /> <br />Kent asked Hal H. about Gunnison and if Hal had gotten a hold of Viola Bralish to ask <br />here if he could get his expenses to the Non-consumptive Needs workshop covered. He <br />. .

Hal Simpson has been there for 13 years or so. Deb <br />asked if the new one will be appointed. Bob P said the new head ofDNR will decide <br />where they are hired from -inside or outside. <br /> <br />Kent asked if anyone knows about possible projects people might be bringing to this <br />roundtable. <br /> <br />Bob P. asked Paula B. what kinds of projects are going on the Colorado. <br />
