<br /> <br />'lbank you very much for your consideration of this matter. <br /> <br />As the CWCB addresses this Policy at the January Board Meeting, the <br />Roundtable would request that it remain limited to environmental or broad public purpose <br />benefits, such as enumerated above. <br /> <br />For the most part, there was support of the activities which the CWCB could <br />undertake a<; a result of the implementation of this policy. However, the Roundtable felt <br />very strongly that these activities should be restricted to the general public purposes of <br />"addressing compact calls, drought mitigation, endangered species, instream flows, river <br />restoration, and recreation". The Roundtable was concerned with the possibility of the <br />CWCB actively getting into the role of developing agricultural, municipal or industrial <br />water supplies for resale. While there has been considerable success with the CWCB <br />being involved as an owner in environmental projects, such as the recent construction of <br />Elkhead Reservoir, Colorado has long resisted the notion of a "State Water Project". <br /> <br />At the December 17 meeting of the Colorado Basin Roundtable, there was a <br />discussion of the Proposed Policy Number 18 concerning the "Application and Approval <br />Process for Use of Investments and Loans from the Severance Tax Trust Fund...." <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Gimbel <br /> <br />SUB.meT: Comments on Proposed Policy Number 18 <br /> <br />Via E-Mail and Us.
