<br /> <br />Agenda Item 6 <br />January 15, 1992 <br /> <br />a wide variety of potentially interested persons or entities, nor have we invited public <br />comments on the issues of irrigation efficiency and water salvage. We have attempted <br />to focus the discussion, if any, on January 22 on the narrow issue of the adequacy of <br />the analysis itself. A copy of the distribution letter and mailing list is attached. <br /> <br />As you will recall, Staff has not drawn any specific conclusions, nor suggested <br />a proposed recommendation from the Board to the General Assembly. We have <br />attempted to place water salvage and water savings within a framework from which <br />the difficult policy and legal issues can be debated, weighed, and resolved by the <br />General Assembly. The staff understands that one or more bills attempting to create <br />a right to reuse or transfer water "saved" by reducing historical diversions will be <br />introduced in the current session of the General Assembly. Having provided a tool <br />to aid in the General Assembly's evaluation of water saving or salvage, it is neither <br />necessary nor advisable to make specific recommendations for legislative enactments. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the Board: <br /> <br />1) review the enclosed final drafts, <br /> <br />2) consider any written or oral comments concerning the adequacy of the <br />reports as objectively meeting the directive in HB91-1154, <br /> <br />3) approve the final drafts and transmittal letter to the General Assembly, <br />subject to any specific corrections or modifications the Board wishes to make <br />on January 22 or 23, <br /> <br />4) authorize transmission to the General Assembly. <br /> <br />In the alternative the Board may wish to make specific findings and <br />recommendations which could be incorporated into the reports and/or transmittal <br />letter. <br /> <br /> <br />DWW /SM/gI <br />Attachments: <br />Final Draft Reports <br />Draft Transmittal letter to General Assembly <br />Public Distribution letter and mail list <br /> <br />gl0167.ag6 <br /> <br />2 <br />
