<br />future as needed. Additional $600,000 available from CWCB to pay back Channel Improvement Project <br />account and add more funding to reallocation project. <br />· Marty distributed draft copy of reallocation study schedule that indicates preliminary draft EIS released in <br />March 2007, and negotiation/execution of water supply contracts in July 2008. The dates are subject to <br />change, especially given the fact that certain tasks that are out of the team's control (e.g. obtaining <br />approval from Parks Board regarding EDAW recreation mitigation study that is desperately needed by <br />Tetra Tech at this time). <br />· Dan is very interested in keeping Tetra Tech on-track and on-time with the EIS study. He asked if there <br />were any known obstacles to project success, and nobody was aware of such obstacles. A brief <br />discussion took place regarding which EIS chapters have been drafted and released for internal review, <br />and which chapters are still being written. Dan will likely attend the 11-30-06 progress meeting at Tetra <br />Tech office. <br />· Dan suggested that it might be valuable for the water users to begin contacting state parks to convey the <br />importance of completing/releasing the EDAW recreation mitigation study. EIS work is being held up at <br />this time. <br />· The meeting ended at approximately 12:30pm and all agreed that it was valuable and worthwhile. <br /> <br />Action Items: <br />· CWCB to set/distribute agenda and confirm EIS study meeting for 11-30-06; Corps PM is available that <br />day as well as Tetra Tech staff. <br />· Essential Corps personnel to travel to Denver 12-14-06 and/or 12-15-06 in preparation for the Vertical <br />Team Meeting to be proposed to Corps HQ. <br />· Essential Corps personnel to travel to Denver for Vertical Team Meeting on 1-18-07 and 1-19-07. <br />· Chatfield local sponsors and interests will finalize issues/questions with Omaha District team for Vertical <br />Team meeting approximately 30 days prior to actual meeting. <br />· CWCB and Corps to meet as needed for contract related discussions. <br />· CWCB to continue to pursue additional water user funds valued at $10/acre-foot per the letters of <br />agreement between CWCB and each of the 16 users. <br />· Marty will notify Tom when project funds are running low so that we can stay ahead of the funding curve <br />and avoid any contract issues with Tetra Tech. <br />· CWCB (Rod) will finalize and sign support letter to Colorado Congressional delegation asking for <br />continued support of the $400,000 in the Energy and Water Appropriations Bill and passage of the WRDA <br />Bill. <br /> <br />2 <br />
