g. Phil Overeynder recommended that the NCNA consider flushing flows as well as base flows, <br />since flushing flows are an important component of a river's health. <br />h. Chuck Ogilby commented that it is very important to address the Colorado River between <br />Kremmling and Dotsero. There are conditional water rights claiming 200,000-300,000 acre <br />feet of the Upper Coloradq and these could decimate annual flows below Kremmling. <br />Therefore, it is very important that the NCNA address the impact that developing these <br />conditional water rights would have on this river stretch. <br />Ken Ransford asked why the Basin Roundtables were being asked to prioritize important <br />river stretches before the NCNA was completed. Eric Hecox replied that funding dictated <br />this. <br />CBRT members who are active in the NCNA committees include Lane Wyatt, Ken <br />Neubecker, Rick Sackbauer, and Mel Reddig. <br />k.
