Water Supply Reserve Account – Grant Application Form Form Revised May 2007 _______________________________________ objectives to be addressed by each plan component. The plan will be written in collaboration with selected stakeholders to ensure it correctly addresses key water resource topics and issues. The plan will be provided electronically and in hard-copy to facilitate future updates as new information becomes available. Task 4Public Outreach: $1,500 To inform the public of the results, future monitoring plans, and obtain additional feedback. A series of public meetings will be held in conjunction with the U.S.G.S team to solicit comments from interested parties regarding specific parameters and areas of interest. A more complete description can be found in the USGS proposal enclosed with this application which may be modified to include comments and recommendations of the Roundtable. ? Description of task: This task is actually, in part, a component of all preceding tasks, in addition to being the final tasks wherein all project results and products will be shared and demonstrated for the public and interested stakeholders and project participants. Throughout the project, numerous meetings will be conducted in order to provide and to obtain input. At the completion of the project 1-2 public outreach meetings will be planned and conducted to demonstrate how to access and use the website product as well as to summarize key findings that are documented in the final project report. ? Method: Plan and conduct meetings with stakeholders, project participants, and the general public. PowerPoint presentations and live demonstrations of to develop and complete user-customized data query and retrievals form the web-accessible database. USGS staff will conduct outreach in collaboration with Mike Zopf (Routt County) and representatives from the City of Steamboat Springs.

These previous and ongoing projects have been completed while achieving the full proposed scope of work on time and within budget. Since 2001, Mr. Wynn has supervised and provides technical and budget oversight to hydrologists, students, and contractors who are engaged in water resource projects with cumulative budgets exceeding $1,500,000 annually. Project Database and Web Development Lead: David Litke, Database and GIS Specialist, U.S. Geological Survey: Qualifications: Mr. Litke has personally designed and compiled as well as supervised the compilation of large scale (larger and more complex than the currently proposed database) water-resource databases since 1994.
