March 13 South Platte Minutes

• Basin Roundtable: South Platte
• Title: Minutes
• Date: 3/13/2007
• Basin Roundtables - Doc Type: Minutes

Sue: SWSI II findings of environmental/rec impact and needs will be
revisited; will look at statewide environmental/tech; flow requirements. . .

Bert Weaver: Do you include snow making in rec requirements?

Sue: Snow making looked as a demand, not on the recreational side.
Considered an industrial use; accounted for on the M&I side

Fred Walker: On page 2 of preliminary draft outline; section b: roundtable
will be asked for help in facilitating the interviews and information
sharing: this will be an opportunity for members of this Roundtable to
help;

Sue: Analysis only as good as information behind it.

Mike: Next draft will have budgets?

Harold: More work here that has been identified than we have funds for
There may be $100,000 over 15 months maximum; that is probably not
enough to do first four questions; we conclude that Republican River and
Upper States need to be studied; thus this will be out of basin account; so
we either don't do needs assessment or it comes out of basin account. Out
of water supply reserve account...maybe there.

Fred Walker: Would there be another way to approach this?

Sasha Charney: Maybe could be cross sharing with Metro Roundtable

Sue: Looking at about $300,000-400,000 price tag for all three scopes.
Metro has requested a little different look but yes perhaps could do cross
study.

Harold Evans: Are these unreasonable things to be asking for as part of
our needs assessment?

Sue: No, look at Yampa energy scope was scoped at 300,000 level joint
application with Colorado..so they went with 179 request for that.

Harold Evans: Next time statewide is September; basin wide is June.

Sue: Could package this with Metro and go statewide; ask Metro to go
with assessments out of basin account;

Bob Streeter: Please give us scope, costs and time line: completion of
projects.
