needs as well as utilizing any unappropriated
waters.
• Promote the protection, conservation, and
use of water in the Southwest BRT area.
• Promote the socio-economic sustainability of
the Southwest BRT Roundtable area.
• Promote the protection and conservation of
the natural environment, including the
protection of open space.
C. Provide the financial details of the plan,
including cost sharing and other possible
funding sources. Give a financial overview and

project would be rejected, but for major
funding requests, addressing multiple use needs
would be an advantage.
2. Outline the steps needed for completion of the
project. What permit issues must be overcome?
How will funds acquired in this process be used
to accomplish the final goal?
