6. It is understood by all parties that some
environmental resources depend on
antecedent conditions. Therefore, it is
necessary that antecedent conditions be
documented prior to initiation and
analysis of the collected data.
D. Need for Additional Clarification from
the Executive Review Committee
Prior to the development and initiation of an addition-
al environmental technical study plan, direction and
clarification is needed from the Executive Review
Committee. The primary areas are as follows:
1. Identification of all decisions for which
a lower than 75% level of risk is needed,
(i.e., are there decisions which require
less error and more certainty?) Priori-
ties (if these exist) for decisions are
needed.
2. A commitment to ensure employment of a
Senior Scientist who will assist in the
design and over-sight of the integration
of the GOES technical studies.
3. outline the relationship of the Executive
Review Committee, the GCES study teams,
and the Senior Scientist in determining
the scope and make-up of the scientific
program of the Phase II efforts.
4. An outline of the decision-making process
that will result in recommendations to
the Secretary of the Interior, including
the weighing of environmental impacts,
some of which cannot be measured in
dollars lost or gained, and economic
impacts which do have a monetary basis.
5. Direction of a thorough review of
Colorado River water law and other legal
aspects which define the management of
the resources of the Colorado River.
E. Process To Be Followed
