I am also confirming that I will be in attendance at the January 20th meeting in <br />Montrose, although I am not certain at the moment what organization I will be representing. <br /> <br />Objecti vesl S ubobj ecti yes <br /> <br />The only objective that I did not see listed but feel is very critical to this basin is the "protection of <br />existing water uses" ~ The first objective deals with trying to Ifmeet" demand, which comes close to the <br />concept of protection, but I would prefer to see the word nprotection" in the list somewhere~ In addition <br />to protecting existing or historic uses, we in this basin are constantly faced with protecting the right to <br />develop additional new supplies in the futuret <br /> <br />I would also add that in the upper basin, we are still trying to identify water management options that <br />will be responsive to these kinds of objectives~ but are in the planning and feasibility stage. In other <br />words, one of our water management objectives is to identify a good process for identifying <br />management objectives! The Upper Gunnison District is very active on this front, but there are other <br />entities involved as well. <br /> <br />Information Sources on Project Proposals <br /> <br />Probably the best source of information regarding project ideas being pursued by the Upper Gunnison <br />District is the District's Water Management Plan, Final Draft, dated January 2003. Another source of <br />information on possible projects is the District's annual budget, with reflects the immediate goals of the <br />Di strict. <br /> <br />Other entities thinking about or pursuing projects include the Gunnison County Stockgrowers, Hinsdale <br />County, the Mount Crested Butte Water and Sanitation District, and the City of Gunnison.. Each of <br />these entities has their own planning process and they should be checked with when developing a water <br />management project list. Here are contact people for each of these organizations: <br /> <br />Frank Glick - MT~ CBW&SD 349-7575 <br />Ken Coleman - City of Gunnison 641-8080 <br />Ray Blaum - Hinsdale County - 944-2225 <br /> <br />3/8/2004 <br />
