of Elk Head Reservoir, very interesting tour. Gorgeous trip. Favorite <br />quote: Fletcher: "I talked to Tom Sharp about being on roundtable, I <br />decided that roundtables were a lot of talk and I have a lot to do." <br />Eric Wilkinson: Proposal on Wild and Scenic Designation on Yampa in <br />Dinosaur which would preclude the pump back project; anything <br />mentioned? <br />No. <br />Webb Jones: Energy development is rampant: their attention seems more <br />focused on the impact of energy. <br />Eric: Wild & Scenic would preclude those energy projects as well. <br />Mike Shimmin: Fletcher also built Steamboat Reservoir in the 60s, <br />enlarged Fishback as well. Busy man. <br />Janet Bell: vis a vis Wild & Scenic Designation: where would those <br />water rights come from <br />Webb: My sense is that the water rights for energy would be more from <br />White River. <br />Eric: They would have to divert water downstream of designated sections <br />into White. <br />Any h-,-_ drologic connection between White and Green? <br />No. <br />This would be a transbasin diversion. <br />If the Wild & Scenic is designated by Congress, freezes water right. If <br />suitable it would be administered by BLM and any 'kvater projects <br />proposed upstream would be treated in review process as if it had been <br />designated by Congress. <br />Sue Morea: FYI: after recent meeting: High side is 400,000 acft from <br />Yampa and Colorado for energy development. This would be high side <br />in 2050. <br />Eric W.: Most of this would be for energy use to produce 12,000 <br />megawatts of energy. <br />It Discussion of IBCC Visioning Exercise <br />Sue Morea and Todd Doherty: <br />Asking for comments on Visioning Conference. On October 29, IBCC and CWCB Board <br />meeting. <br />Attempt is to come up with draft vision statement: "We envision a Colorado that <br />sustainability meets municipal, industrial, agricultural. environmental and recreational <br />needs by promoting cooperation among all water users." <br />--Vision Goals: will include more focus on sustainability <br />--Water Supply Strategies: going to 2050, focus on conservation, <br />--Focusing on 3 strategies: M&I. ag transfers and transbasin diversions. <br />--looking at tradeoffs between ag transfers and unappropriated water. <br />Feedback? <br />Harold Evans: Don't have time to go through this line by line to make corrections, <br />something fairly simple: for last 4 years, through SWSI, SWSI 2, until we address <br />compact development and transbasin diversions, rest is academic. Was on a SWSI 2 and <br />conservation group, put together white paper on these-never published-these have <br />been addressed and addressed well. Peter Maher, Aquacraft, and Dave Little of Denver <br />Water. Time to get down to difficult discussions about whether there is water <br />unappropriated or transbasin water. <br />Sue Morea: Thev are on the CWCB website. <br />6
