The staff, within the Office of Water Conservation & Drought Planning (OWCDP), has <br />determined the Plan to be in accordance with S37-60-126 and the CWCB's Guidelines for the Office to Review Water <br />Conservation Plans Submitted by Covered Entities. The OWCDP retained the services of Aquacraft Inc., a water <br />engineering and management company, to evaluate and review pending water conservation plans submitted to the State for <br />approval. Denver Water's was one of those plans. The Plan is hereby approved and Denver Water may proceed with its <br />implementation. I am enclosing a copy of the Plan evaluation for your review and records. <br /> <br />The Plan will be kept on file at the CWCB and shall be accessible to the public through our website and the Water <br />Resource Information Center. The Plan will also be made available to the Colorado Water Resources & Power <br />Development Authority and the Water Supply Planning & Finance section within the CWCB should you apply for a loan <br />from either agency. <br /> <br />Due to the legislative intent of the Water Conservation Act of 2004, the Office may contact you to discuss how your <br />conservation planning and implementation efforts are progressing. As Denver Water begins implementing the conservation <br />measures outlined in the Plan, please be aware that the CWCB has grant monies available to assist entities, with approved <br />plans, in their efforts to implement those measures. I have enclosed a brochure providing a general overview of the Water <br />Efficiency Grant Program and encourage Denver Water to apply. <br /> <br />Thank you again for all your efforts in developing a Water Conservation Plan. Should you have any questions or need <br />additional assistance, please feel free to contact me. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Veva McCaig <br />Section Chief <br />Office of Water Conservation & Drought Planning <br /> <br />cc: Mike Brod, Colorado Water Resources & Power Development Authority <br />Mike Serlet, CWCB Water Supply Planning & Finance Section <br /> <br />Flood Protection · Water Supply Planning and Finance · Stream and Lake Protection <br />Water Supply Protection · Conservation and Drought Planning <br />
