SOUTHWEST BASINS ROUNDTABLE <br />Michael Preston, Chair <br />c/o Dolores Water Conservancy District <br />P.O. Box 1150 <br />Cortez, Colorado 81321 <br />970-565-7562 <br />EMAILED September 15, 2008 <br />Mr. Todd Doherty <br />Chief, Intrastate Water Management and Development Section <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />1580 Logan Street, Suite 600 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />SUBJECT: Applications Recommended for funding from the Basin fund of the Water <br />Supply Reserve Account Including Happy Scenes Water System and the <br />La Plata Archuleta Water District. <br />Dear Mr. Doherty: <br />The Southwest Basins Roundtable is pleased to recommend $50,000 from the Basin fund <br />for Happy Scenes Water System and $100,000 from the Basin fund for The La Plata <br />Archuleta Water District. <br />These applications were considered in detail at the September 10, 2008 meeting of the <br />Southwest Basins Roundtable. There was a quorum of Roundtable members present. <br />There was a minority opinion on the part of one Roundtable member who was concerned <br />about the effect that the La Plata Archuleta Water District proposal could have on <br />agriculture. The applicant agreed to evaluate the effects of various water supply options <br />on agriculture in the preparation of the master plan which is the focus of the District's <br />proposal. <br />Southwest Basins Roundtable recommends that the CWCB approve the requested <br />funding for the Happy Scenes Water System and the La Plata Archuleta Water District <br />from the Basin Account. The completed Grant Applications will be forwarded directly to <br />you by the applicants. Please contact the applicants or me at 970-565-7562, <br />mprestongcfrontier.net, if you have questions or wish to discuss these applications in <br />more detail. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael Preston <br />Southwest Basins Roundtable Chair
