Deputy Attorney General <br /> <br />RE: Report of the Attorney General! <br /> <br />1. Forest Service Reserved Ri!!hts Cases. Case Nos. 81-CW-220 et al.. Water Division 2. <br />The cases have finally been dismissed pursuant to the stipulations with the Forest Service. <br /> <br />2. Forest Service Reserved Ri!!hts Cases. Case Nos. W-1146-73 et aI.. Water Division 7. <br /> <br />In June of2003, the state and water users responded jointly in writing to the Forest Service's <br />settlement proposal. Our response set forth some general principles to guide future negotiations <br />that we would require in order to continue on a settlement path. The United States is apparently <br />still considering our response. Trout Unlimited has renewed their request to be made a party to <br />the settlement discussions. As the Board may recall, TV intervened in these cases in early 2000. <br />In fall of 2000 they requested - and the U.S. and the other objectors, including the state, refused <br />- that they be given a seat at the settlement table. The Southwestern Water Conservation District <br />remains opposed to TU's participation and we see no reason to change our previous position. <br />3. Kansas v. Colorado.
