November 5, 2007 <br />1. Yampa & South Platte Roundtables -Dan Birch discussed the results of the meeting of the <br />Yampa and South Platte Roundtables, which took place in September 2007. He discussed a <br />proposed pumpback project on the Yampa River, which would move water approximately <br />100 miles backup river and eventually to the Front Range. The timeline for the project is <br />estimated at 15 years. He mentioned that there were concerns about what might happen to <br />the Yampa Basin. The Roundtable members discussed possible effects on the Colorado <br />Basin. <br />2. Water Needs Assessment Activities -Tyler Martineau said there had been two meetings of <br />the GBRT Water Needs Assessment subcommittee since the last GBRT meeting, where they <br />discussed both consumptive and non-consumptive water needs. Attributes relating to <br />environmental and recreational (R&E) activities will be summarized and presented in the <br />non-consumptive assessment. Committee was not comfortable prioritizing these needs. The <br />subcommittee recognizes that over time, the consumptive uses have facilitated the R&E uses <br />in the Basin. There was also a lot of discussion regarding availability of water in the <br />Gunnison Basin, and it was generally felt that any changes to status quo would have <br />detrimental impacts in some area of the Basin. <br />Todd Dougherty of the Colorado Water Conservation Board reviewed the status of each task <br />order and their progress. Todd announced that John Sikora of URS in Glenwood Springs <br />would be subcontracting with CDM as the Gunnison Basin Roundtable's Technical Advisor. <br />Report will be presented in January to the Roundtable. Mike Gross will continue in an <br />advisory role for the Basin. <br />3. Annual Meeting -Marc Catlin made a motion to retain the current officers of the Gunnison <br />Basin Roundtable. The motion was seconded by many members, and the motion carried <br />unanimously. <br />Peter Kasper made a motion to retain the official posting place as Delta County Courthouse. <br />Ron Shaver seconded and the motion carried unanimously. <br />4. Other - Hugh Sanburg mentioned that the bylaws were to be reviewed annually and <br />proposed to bring that topic forward in the next meeting. <br />Ralph Grover asked if there were any projects for the next month. No one mentioned any <br />new proposals. <br />Next Meeting <br />The next meeting of the Gunnison Basin Roundtable will be December 3, 2007. <br />Ad' ourn <br />There being no further business to come before the Roundtable, the meeting adjourned at 6:15 pm. <br />Mike B erry, Recorder <br />4 <br />
