Mike Applegate: Are you looking just at flowing streams? Or include <br />reservoirs and lakes? <br />Tom Iseman: Both. <br />Bill Jerke: Hunting? Habitat and harvest cross over. <br />Nicole Rowan: Yes. Maps will be on South Platte website and will be on <br />view; <br />Tom Iseman: CO Natural Heritage Program, Division of Wildlife, <br />Nicole: much of this info from SWASI I and IL Looping for input from <br />roundtable; <br />Tom L We have lots of data but our focus is to figure out what to do with this <br />and where are our priorities; and how will we develop, as a roundtable, our <br />priorities? <br />Mike Shimmin: Is the focus on inventorying what is out there now or also <br />thought be given to what could be out there but is not such as an enhancement <br />or restoration, what is focus? <br />Tom L we have been focusing more on what info we have; but we will expand <br />focus; if there is an opportunity for developing any water supply, those are the <br />binds of opportuiuties we want to purse. <br />Tom: How to focus on prioritize places? Easiest thing is to put them on a <br />single map and see where these attributes overlap: boating, bird watching. <br />We should also think of setting goals; if we h~low there is an attribute that is <br />important...look at where the best places to protect this; for Nature <br />Conservancy this would be a focus: to protect native and threatened species, <br />therefore, should be overlap in the conservation goal. Want more input from <br />local commuiuties; need to hear from the conununities, where there are <br />resources that we have not noted; also what is the condition of the nature; <br />where is restoration work needed, for instance; therefore, it is up to us as a <br />Roundtable to take next steps. <br />AK basin has focused mostly on the overlap-where are the concentrations of <br />these attributes; <br />Last thing to preview: flow quantifications; have not yet decided where to <br />focus; we lalow that there is a relation between flows and protecting these <br />attributes, thus, once we know where we want to focus we can use the science <br />to understand the relation between flows and protection of the flows; many <br />different methods can be used, look at base flows, dynamic flows, peak flows, <br />channel maintenance flows, etc. Tool we can use in the future as we focus on <br />non-consumptive priorities <br />Julio Iturreria: Where are you today per your method? <br />Tom: Build on Attributes---develop criteria for establishing priorities...this is <br />where we are today. <br />Julio: Would be very helpful for me to lalow what you have honed in on for <br />the first cut, what are the non-consumptive areas that you have decided to <br />hone in on; we, as Arapahoe County, would be very interested in knowing. <br />Would be very useful to show us where your focus is, then you would have <br />feedback from Roundtable. <br />6 <br />
