COLORADO'S PLAN FOR FUTURE DEPLETIONS <br />Documentation as Required by Cooperative Agreement, <br />Milestones W6-1, W7-1, W8-1, and Tab 3B(I)E <br />January 12, 1998 <br />This documentation is divided into two sections: summarv responses to milestones and <br />interactive spreadsheet tool and supporting documentation. It should be considered in <br />conjunction with the interactive spreadsheet tool for Colorado's Plan for Future Depletions, <br />file-dated January 12, 1998. <br />Summary Responses to Milestones <br />Milestone W6-1: "Within 6 months from the effective date of the Cooperative Agreement, <br />Colorado will provide to the Governance Committee population estimates within the South <br />Platte River Basin in Colorado (in Accordance with Att. III, App. A, Tab 313, Paragraph A.1)." <br />Response: Population estimates for 1997 are as follows: <br />North Region: 697,964 <br />Central Region: 1,754,463 <br />South Region: 182,981 <br />Total South Platte Basin: 2,631,408 <br />Documentation for these estimates is included in the attached memo entitled "Colorado <br />Prelim.inary Population Projections, Colorado Division of Local Government" <br />(September 1997). It should be noted that the State's population estimates are <br />disaggregated to the county level and are not organized by basin. The estimates above <br />include the entire population for the counties within each region eyen though some <br />portions of some counties lie outside the basin boundaries. Therefore the total South <br />Platte basin estimate above slightly overstates the actual South Platte basin population. <br />Milestone W7-1: "Within 6 months from the effective date of the Cooperative Agreement, <br />Colorado will provide to the Governance Committee an estimate of the expected population <br />increase within the South Platte River Basin in Colorado for the period ending five years from <br />the effective date of the Cooperative Agreement (in Accordance with Att. III, App. A, Tab 3B, <br />Paragraph A.1)." <br />Response: Estimates of population increase within South Platte River Basin in <br />Colorado between the years 1997 and 2002 are as follows: <br />North Region: 79,422 <br />Central Region: 100,197 <br />South Region: 30,325 <br />Total South Platte Basin: 209,944
