Chatfield Reallocation FRlEIS Study Meeting Tetra Tech Conference Room, Lakewood, Colorado Thursday, September 18th, 2008: 9:00 am -11:30 am 1) Introductions and Welcome . Tom Browning (Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB)) welcomed meeting attendees and announced that agenda item five (Public Involvement) will be moved up in the meeting schedule because Brooke Fox (Chatfield Basin Conservation Network (CBCN)) needs to leave early. . Tom reported that the board meeting in Alamosa went well. Mount Carbon and the State Parks are now under contract. There was a healthy discussion about the Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) and the controversy associated with it. The environmental mitigation was a huge issue because no specific commitments were spelled out in the EIS. Friends of the Poudre came up with their own plan that is considered a complete alternative. Tom said there were over 700 pages of comments on the NISP EIS and the CWCB has not taken a position on it yet. He pointed out that there was not as much involvement from stakeholders on that project-Chatfield has tried to keep the doors open to all involved parties. . The Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) has submitted comments on Chapter 4 and from the discussions Tom has had they seemed very positive about the whole process. Brooke added that the DOW will present their views on the Chatfield reallocation to the CBCN sometime in October. She will flag that meeting so that any interested Cooperators can attend. 5) Public Involvement . Brooke informed the attendees that Webb PR is crafting the content of the flyer, website, and hotline and distributing it to the public relations subcommittee. After it gets subcommittee approval it will be sent to Eric Laux (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (CaE)) and Gary Drendel (Tetra Tech). The hotline content will be sent out today or tomorrow. The website is under construction and there are currently about 10 pages of content. The flyer is almost ready. There is a new map on the flyer that encompasses some changes that subcommittee members made. The colors have been changed to aid colorblind people in interpreting the map. After Eric's approval, copies of the flyer will be made and distributed. . Karen Sitoski (CaE) said that she cannot find the meeting minutes on the CWCB website. Tom directed her to go to the CWCB homepage and from there click on the Chatfield homepage. The minutes are located under the Meeting Materials link on the left side of the page. .
