The amended <br />version was to address the deficiencies discussed during the conference call. The plan was thoroughly evaluated, by <br />Peter Mayer, to determine if the deficiencies in the previous plan had been resolved. .Upon completion of the review <br />process~ the submitted Plan is hereby approved. <br /> <br />The Plan will be kept on file at the CWCB and shall be accessible to the public through our \vebsite and the Water <br />Resource Information Center. The Plan will also be made available to the Colorado Water Resourc.es & Power <br />Development Authority and the Water Supply Planning & Finance section within the CWCB should you apply for a <br />loan from either agency. <br /> <br />Due to the legislative intent of the \Vater Conservation Act of 2004, the Office may contact you to discuss how your <br />conservation planning and implementation efforts are progressing. As Erie begins implementing the conservation <br />measures outlined in the Plan, please be aware that the CWCB has grant monies available to assist entities, with <br />approved plans, in their efforts to implement those measures.
