our authorization and our funding to do an RFQ that would result in a firm or firms coming on board to actually do the planning, design and implementation of environmental mitigation according to the scope that is put forward by this group. This is where Steve Dougherty is crucial, he will be Tom's assistant in getting this done, helping scope out what a completed mitigation plan would look like and then seeing it done. This authorization is what we would point to, to give us the ability to do this. Rhonda: Discussed would like to do some of the planning before the ROD is issued. Can we do that? Dan: The broad authorization is key, on planning and design, Corps says anything you do you before you do on your own risk. Weare now saying we are past investigating, we are in implementation phase, the $200 million will give us the authority and ability to design and implement this. Rick: The $200 million comes from state? Dan: Comes from you all. We hold it. Rick: Does it say that? Dan: It is similar to our donation program. It will all go into the Chatfield fund, and we can use it to do the implementation, and the O&M project responsibility. Denver Water now tells them when, one entity doing it through Denver operations. Bob Peters: Document with Corps outlining operations? Dan: Operations will have to be implementation. Bob: It says Denver Water Now, suspect continue in normal role, then change later. Rick: Is this a role that you would like to have the CWCB play, but not absolutely essential to have them. As entity to get approval for more storage, has the obligation of mitigation process, and conduit of money from 15 entities to Corps. Is there another entity to do this as well? Dan: It must be unless the original word of statute is changed. Rick: It says you must have that role until approval. Dan: That would require additional federal process. Once you have the space allocated, who will manage it? Rick: You need a role to request this allocation and coordinate the allocation. The allocation in my mind is the approval to the ROD.
