North Platte Basin Roundtable Meeting Minutes, 08-28-07 2 <br />for commonalities based on the feedback, which led to the statewide efforts occurring <br />right now (consumptive, non-consumptive, and supply availability). <br />Approach: they saw the potential for roundtables to go in different directions-data <br />heavy or non-data heavy. But also wanted roundtables to have a say at the grassroots <br />level. (See Eric's presentation handout). They also built and assembled the data on what <br />they call "attributes" to capture values and coverages, attributes. Put it on a map / GIS <br />database. Roundtable can look at what can be assembled for our basin and see what is <br />there and if it is adequate. Different roundtables will have different priorities. <br />At the next workgroup meeting, possibly at the beginning of October, they want to <br />identify additional attributes that the roundtables came up with, and to try and put in <br />place processes for roundtable prioritization for larger roundtables. <br />Once the roundtable has established priorities, they will look at strategies for <br />implementation. Eric discussed a few examples. <br />The main message is that each roundtable has control over prioritization and <br />quantification. <br />Carl Trick asked: If a roundtable in the state comes up with a priority that is in the state's <br />interest according to the working group...will all the roundtables have to abide by that <br />interest? <br />Eric: It will not be one of their priorities, but if we are mapping a particular resource, and <br />a roundtable said they didn't want that info gathered, they would respect that. The first <br />step is assembling info or the attributes that each roundtable needs to make a decision. <br />CWCB doesn't have the resources to go out and gather a large amount of new data. They <br />have to get the existing information from somewhere else. <br />Carl: As far as the state is concerned, if we have different priorities in each basin, will the <br />state pick out one or two and decide what the state's non-consumptive needs and <br />priorities are? <br />Eric: Haven't directly addressed that question. But the state will not set anon- <br />consumptive priority (as a state). But there are other acts (like endangered species) that <br />have already set some priorities. <br />Implementation or quantification strategies are what is going to come out of <br />prioritization. CWCB wants to put together a list of all the methodologies that are <br />available for the different non-consumptive uses. <br />Eric tallced about roles and responsibilities of the different agencies involved <br />Rountables will prioritize the attributes; CWCB will help the roundtables address those <br />priority areas. <br />
