<br />. Tracy Bouvette, working with Rich Vidmar and Kevin Urie (Denver Water) will <br />circulate information regarding South Platte Water Related Activities Program <br />(SPWRAP) to all water users for their consideration to help stream line evaluations of <br />downstream mitigation needs related the project's future depletions. <br />. Some understanding is needed with the EIS team to determine how membership with <br />the SPWRAP will help in evaluating EIS and FR alternatives, and in streamlining <br />future Section 7 consultations. This will be a topic for future TetraTech meetings. <br />. Ronda Sandquist and Rick McLoud spoke regarding our need for two sub-committees <br />formed with water users (from both upstream and downstream interests), to talk about <br />and make provisions for future contracting during project mitigation tasks. <br />. We need to revisit the organizational chart to better clarify project communications <br />between the local team members and the USACE, and other project stakeholders. <br />This will be a topic for one of the next Water User Coordination Meetings. <br />. Tracy Bouvette will begin to pursue the possibilities/requirements for agricultural use <br />of Chatfield space in terms of the FR/EIS - including the inclusion of agricultural use <br />in the alternatives, the interim nature of agricultural water use, and the cost breaks, if <br />any, for inclusion of agricultural water in the reallocated storage. A committee was <br />suggested and should be formed to assist in this regard. Communications with <br />USACE will be documented and CWCB should be notified of all communications <br />and findings. (Note: Contact with USACE should be handled through Eric Laux and <br />Sandy Rayl). <br /> <br />Finally, a discussion was made regarding whether or not to waive the "Pre-Draft EIS" <br />review of chapters, and the group decided that it is best not to waive this review at this <br />time. <br /> <br />Attendee list will be scanned and sent as a PDF file via separate email. <br /> <br />The next meeting will be at the same location on May 1st at 1 :30 pm. Location to be <br />determined. <br />
