S 37-75-101 et seq., established Basin Roundtables and the Interbasin <br />Compact Committee to discuss interbasin issues. Any discussion of the above referenced <br />proposal is more appropriately raised in that format where all effected parties are given a <br />VOIce. <br /> <br />3. Pursuant to Senate Bill 07-122, the Colorado Water Conservation Board ("CWCB") is <br />charged "'lth evaluating water availability in the Colorado River basin and its tributaries. <br />Prior to the evaluation of available supplies by the CWCB any consideration given to the <br />above outlined proposal as a solution to the South Platte ba.<;in issues is premature. <br /> <br />4. The above referenced proposal implicates a number of intergovernmental agreements, <br />cotut decrees, interstate compacts, federal and local permits, and Acts of Congress, the <br />scope ofwmch cannot be fully appreciated by the Task Force prior to its September 30, <br />2007 deadline. This is not simply a matter of looking west to solve the South Platte River <br />basin issues. <br /> <br />~cerely, I <br /> <br />t,-.~ k,>J~ // <br /> <br />J6mes L.
