<br />CONCEPTS FOR BASIN EVALUATION AND <br />PRIORITIZATION <br /> <br />The following will be used to evaluate a project submitted to the Southwestern <br />Colorado Basin Roundtable: <br /> <br />Required: <br /> <br />A. Projects must be submitted on an application form used by the State IBCC and <br />CWCB. <br />All applicable sections must be completed. <br /> <br />B. Projects must address the values encompassed by the SW Basin Bylaws, especially <br />the following goals and objectives: <br />. Seek the involvement of all interested parties and stakeholders. <br />. Propose methods or projects, both structural and non-structural, for meeting any <br />future needs as well as utilizing any unappropriated waters. <br />. Promote the protection, conservation, and use of water in the Southwestern <br />Colorado Roundtable area. <br />. Promote the socio-economic sustainability of the Southwestern Colorado <br />Roundtable area. <br />. Promote the protection and conservation of the natural environment, including the <br />protection of open space. <br /> <br />C. Provide the financial details of the plan, including cost sharing and other possible <br />funding sources. Give a financial overview and rough timeline for completion of the <br />proj ect. <br /> <br />To assist the Southwest Roundtable in determining whether and to what extent a <br />proposed project meets the values set forth in the Bylaws, the following questions <br />should be addressed separately as can reasonably be answered by the applicant. <br /> <br />1. What benefit(s) does the proiect provide? Are there multiple purposes? <br />Note: this does not mean that a single purpose proiect would be reiected, but for maior <br />funding requests, addressing multiple use needs would be an advantage. <br /> <br />By integrating the interests of several entities in the region, the La Plata West Rural <br />Domestic Water Supply System would provide a critically needed water supply service <br />that is also practical and economically viable. Specifically, this project would bring a <br />domestic water supply to residents in southwestern La Plata County. Most of this area <br />has poor quality groundwater and lacks a water delivery system for domestic and fire <br />suppression uses. This project would develop a new beneficial use for waters allocated in <br />the Animas La Plata project and improve the La Plata River watershed water resources. <br /> <br />La Plata West Water Authority <br />La Plata West Rural Domestic Water Supply System <br /> <br />12/27/2007 <br />Page I <br />
