<br />Wilkinson: North Platte of pipe line crossing their area: but under decree of <br />equitable appOltionment, CO v WY... <br />www.ncwcd.org <br /> <br />Jerke: keep in mind the importance of no 2: alternative of drying up ag; <br /> <br />Janet Bell: Article fi"om DU and economic value of ag land on east slope <br />(distributed to all in Febmary via email); is there a piece of cost benefit <br />analysis where value of ag land is figured in? <br /> <br />Harold Evans: Ag dry up is the only option, if we don't do something <br />different; this is much better alternative. <br /> <br />Janet Bell: Seems like this is a perfect project for roundtable cooperation. <br /> <br />Wilkinson: NOlthern put it on the table; Northern wants it to be advanced; <br />political climate not right for use of 179 money unless Yampa asked for it. If, <br />for example, South Platte, AK and Metro, went to Yampa... could go forward. <br />Before change of administration, would have been a vetting of this in front of <br />IBCC, Russ George thought this would be an example of common interest; <br />this has been discussed with Harris Sherman... still figuring out how it fits. <br /> <br />Hecox: appropriate path: Yampa roundtable is the key area; Yampa did talk <br />about it at last meeting and decided it was interested enough to have <br />Wilkinson present at April meeting; the fact that we have this venue of the <br />roundtable in which to present, is a success in and of itself. Very fact that we <br />have a venue where discussion can take place is of value. <br /> <br />Sue Morea: RE: SWSI: water supply objectives that State accepted; it was <br />always intent to take projects and compare them against each other in order to <br />get back to objectives to see which projects score the highest; need to take <br />some of these big projects with final S WSI of showing how these projects <br />meet these objectives. <br /> <br />Shimmin: What can we do to initiate discussions with another roundtable? <br />2 part question: <br />1) Since you are meeting with the Yampa in April, would it be helpful for this <br />roundtable to take some action to start discussion phase with Yampa... then to <br />grow to other basins? Is there a tangible step we could take as roundtable? <br />2) In terms of additional studies: have you identified what the next phase <br />would be in terms of the next step? Would there be a 179 proposal between <br />South Platte and Yampa to take this to the next level? <br /> <br />Wilkinson: Next step: quantification of CO River Compact and what is <br />available; if this roundtable took olive branch to Yampa and said we would <br />like to talk about a cooperative study on this.. .see what their reaction would <br /> <br />7 <br />
