" v?::?'? <br />Dear M herty: <br />The Metro Basin Roundtable ?BRT} has determined that conducting the South Platte River <br />Recreation and Habitat Feasibility Study is an important element in the Metro BRT's basin <br />nonconsumptive needs assessment. The objective of the recreation and habitat improvements <br />would be to identify areas with the mast potential to enhance and increase greenways, public <br />fish areas, flatwater and whitewater boating, waterfowl hunting, native riparian vegetation, and <br />the abundance of aquatic life habitat. Proposed improvement options would be developed to <br />complement the existing habitat, vegetation, and landuse. Biological, physical, and hydrological <br />characteristics would be examined and improvement options will be identified based on <br />stakeholder input. The feasibility study would also identify required permits to implement the <br />proposed improvements. The requested amount to be considered is $150,000. <br />At the July 9, 2008 Metro BRT meeting, the membership unanimously voted to recommend <br />funding for the Upper South Platte River Recreation and Habitat Feasibility Study in the amount <br />of $150,000. There was a quorum present at the July meeting and the vote was unanimous in <br />favor of the funding request for the South Platte River Recreation and Habitat Feasibility Study. <br />Attached please find the application and supporting materials for this project. If you require <br />additional information, please notify me accordingly. <br />Sin ely your , <br />,? <br />,,? <br />Rod Ku arich <br />Chair, Metro Basin Roundtable
