<br />San Juan/Dolores/San Miguel Basin Roundtable Technical Meeting #4 <br />Meeting Summary <br /> <br />. M&I reuse by temporary storage <br /> <br />The benefits and issues with each of these options were also presented by Kelly and briefly <br />discussed by the group. <br /> <br />Water Supply Availability <br /> <br />The water supply availability at various locations in the SJDSM Basin and the method involved <br />was reviewed by Kelly DiNatale. Various issues are involved that can potentially affect future <br />supply availability. Examples of these factors include interstate compacts and decrees, <br />endangered species issues, instream flows, recreational in channel diversions and changes in <br />climate. <br /> <br />Feedback on water supply availability from the BRT members follows. <br /> <br />. The Durango RICD line item should include the following additional phrase "and CWCB <br />Instream Flow Rights." <br />. Consider the "unintended effects" potential of RICDs and instream flows; M&I will typically <br />find a firm supply, and water availability won't affect growth. <br />. Confirm the Animas water availability value. <br />. Annual totals don't show seasonality; variability is significant from year to year. <br />. The group discussed the implications of coal bed methane (CBM) water extracted as tributary <br />water and re-injected to deep aquifers, especially on Florida and Pine River systems, and it <br />was noted that CBM water will diminish in quantity of water pumped over time. <br /> <br />Alternatives Development <br /> <br />John Rehring presented the overall approach to the development of alternatives, specifically <br />highlighting the results of the objectives scoring process from previous roundtable meetings. In <br />order to develop alternatives, the performance of the options in terms of the water management <br />objectives were evaluated to give the SWSI team an outline of those ideas that would have wide <br />interest among BRT members. These options will be applied to the remaining gap, but are <br />limited to in-basin options. <br /> <br />The high, low and average results for the objective weighting in the SJDSM Basin were <br />presented, as well as the relative occurrence of each option being among the top 5 most <br />preferred choice for each basin roundtable member. <br /> <br />Rick Brown reviewed the alternatives development in regards to environmental and <br />recreational uses, M&I and SSI needs, and agricultural needs. <br /> <br />Feedback from the BRT members on the development of alternatives follows. <br /> <br />. The term "non-beneficial" should be reworded to "non-native" phreatophyte control. <br />. There may be no incentives now for a project proponent to go beyond environmental <br />mitigation to enhancement. <br /> <br />CDIVI <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />SJD BRT Mtg #4 Summary.doc 11/29/2004 <br />
