August 4, 2008 <br />Report from the IBCC Representatives <br />Bill Trampe stated that the IBCC had not met since the last GBRT meeting, and therefore there <br />was nothing to report. The next IBCC meeting was scheduled for August 22 in Palisade. Bill <br />mentioned that the visioning process would be the focus of the next IBCC meeting. He <br />requested that any member that had questions or concerns should contact him with those items. <br />Report from the Educational Committee <br />George Sibley was not present at the meeting, and Dennis Steckel had nothing to report for the <br />Educational Committee. <br />1. Presentation by South Platte Basin Roundtable <br />Bill Jerke, Weld County Commissioner and Chair of the South Platte Basin Roundtable, and <br />Fred Walker, also of the South Platte Basin Roundtable, gave a presentation on the South <br />Platte Basin. <br />2. Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Association/Project 7 <br />Marc Catlin and Dick Margetts gave an overview of the results of their feasibility study that <br />was funded with a grant from the Roundtable. The purpose of the feasibility study was to <br />find a suitable location and determine the cost to build a new larger reservoir that would be <br />used for regulation of the South Canal and as a raw water supply for the Project 7 water <br />treatment plant. The capacity of the current reservoir is estimated to hold 21 days of water. <br />The goal is to build a reservoir that will hold enough water to supply Montrose suppliers for <br />one year. Both Marc and Dick felt the results of the study to be useful but have concluded <br />that it would be good to look at additional alternatives due to the estimated cost. <br />3. Consumptive Needs Assessment <br />Nicole Rowan and Hal Simpson of CDM provided a draft report titled Gunnison Basin <br />Roundtable Needs Assessment Task Order. They discussed the four completed task orders. <br />Nicole requested feedback on the report within a couple of weeks. CDM will then refine the <br />report. <br />4. Funded Projects <br />Ralph Grover attended the CWCB meeting, and the Phase II proposal for the Lake San <br />Cristobal project was approved at that meeting. Ralph indicated that signatures were still <br />missing from Roundtable members to approve the Phase III proposal for funding, which is <br />the last phase of the project. <br />There was a new project inquiry for the Heartland Diversion Dam on the North Fork. <br />Greg Clifton indicated he would be bringing a project proposal for the Town of Ridgway to <br />the Project Screening Committee. <br />3
