<br />Addressing the Gap Technical Roundtable Meeting #1 <br />Meeting Summary <br /> <br />3. Showing trade-offs between the alternatives and assessing the potential benefits of <br />cooperation <br /> <br />Approach for Gap TRT <br /> <br />Once alternatives are developed, they will be evaluated based on how they meet the following <br />SWSI objectives: <br /> <br />. Sustainably Meet M&I Demands <br />. Sustainably Meet Agricultural Demands <br />. Optimize Existing and Future Water Supplies <br />. Enhance Recreational Opportunities <br />. Provide for Environmental Enhancement <br />. Promote Cost Effectiveness <br />. Protect Cultural Values <br />. Provide for Operational Flexibility <br />. Comply with All Applicable Laws and Regulations <br /> <br />Alternatives examined based on these objectives will be considered reconnaissance level and <br />further evaluation and analyses would be required prior to implementation. <br /> <br />Key Findings of SWSI and Interaction with Interbasin Compact <br />Roundtables <br /> <br />. Work Product Discussion <br />- Agriculture and M&I shortages vs. Environment/Recreation Enhancement. <br />. Are we going to sacrifice M&I/ Agriculture for Recreation/Environment? <br />- Are shortages, gaps, and enhancements interchangeable? Yes and one use should not be at <br />the expense of other use. <br />- Problem with enhancing environment if it affects agricultural yield. <br />. In Colorado BRT, discussed that environment/recreation have to find a way to pay. <br />. Looking at projects for M&I that can benefit recreation and environment. <br />. Interruptible supplies can be used for recreation/ environment <br />. What is the funding source for recreation to pay for interruptible agreements? <br />. Potential Work Product <br />- Develop ways to address environment/ recreation as part of meeting gap <br />. Funding. <br />. Piggyback on M&I/ Agriculture releases. <br />. What types of options for alternatives will be developed? <br />- Will specific projects be developed? <br />- What about risk of IP&Ps? <br />. Gap is much larger <br />- How can this group develop specific projects when existing IP&Ps have EIS, Hydrology, <br />and other uncertainties? <br /> <br />CDIVI <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />\\Densvr01\swsi\SWSI 2\TRT Meeting - Specific\Addressing Gap\summary\Addressing Gap TRT #1 Summary.doc <br />
