The Kremmling and Glenwood Springs BLM field offices are currently rewriting their
Resource Management Plans and are considering whether certain "eligible" streams (under the
wild and scenic rivers act) are "suitable" for wild and scenic designation. The Little Snake
BLM field office is currently father along in this same process. In addition, the Forest Service,
Park Service and other BLM offices are at different stages of similar processes. These project
funds would be used to facilitate the process that has been recently irritated by the Colcrado
River Water Conservation District, the Northern Colorado Water Conservation District, Denver
Water, and others, and/or other processes that could occur in other basins.
