. . . Western States Water Council Water Quality Committee Seattle, Washington July 14, 2005 Discussion: Workshop once GAD report issued Schedule for our next WSWC meeting WGAlWSWC WATER POLICES In WSWC policy, needs to reference current title of WGA policy!! Stephen moved and Walt seconded to recommend the WSWC resolution. Adopted unanimously. GOOD SAMARITAN UPDATE Shaun McGrath provided an update of action on Good Sam within WGA. The lead governors have begun discussions with the Colorado delegation members who have introduced Good Sam bills. The hope is to eventually work cooperatively - WGA, Congressional offices, EP A, environmental groups, and mining industry groups - to develop a single bill that all can get behind. IMPROVING WATER OUALITY COMMITTEE PROCESS & P ARTICIP ATION Ask about participation with ASIWPCA, Have reps of both orgs present at meetings? What are their primary issues of interest? Ask if they have suggestions for things the WQ Committee might address. Paul suggests sending out an email to get ideas and then divide the list and make some personal phone calls to follow up. Walt thought this was a good approach. It might be useful to hold a conference call to get some uniformity. Formulate some questions and then follow up with the conference call. Susan Burke said that the time of the meeting is perhaps an issue. Perhaps overlap meetings, so that we don't lose folks. Shaun should schedule conf. call between Chair, himself and Stephen B, and Walt prior to the next meeting. STATES ROUNDTABLE Stephen Bernath mentioned that they have submitted their 04 list. Paul said Mark Pifher has left his position with the State and Steve Gunderson has been appointed in his position. Paul is not sure ofthe level of Steve's involvement with WSWC yet. There being no further matters, the Water Quality Committee meeting was adjourned. 7
