4 <br />Study Components <br />Facilitated Stakeholder Discussions <br />Over the course of the two-year study, the Grand Canyon Trust will develop a <br />comprehensive summary of the emerging trends and management issues facing <br />Colorado River basin resource managers, solicit and compile the concerns and <br />recommendations of stakeholders and members of the public interested in basin . <br />issues, and identify key components to create a workable dialog among these various <br />parties. This will be achieved in two broad phases, each with a product to be <br />delivered to the Bureau of Reclamation. <br />First, the Trust will conduct extensive discussions with resource experts and <br />stakeholders concerned with the Colorado River basin to identify key issues and 4 <br />concerns. The Trust will contact a core group of 5-10 experts to develop a list of broad <br />issues, which it will then share with a larger working group of stakeholders <br />consisting of federal, state, tribal, and local public officials and representatives of <br />water development, public power, environmental, and other interests. This group <br />will identify and describe their concerns regarding issues such as water, power, <br />recreation, fish and wildlife, environmental, tribal and cultural resources and <br />suggest prioritization. The Trust will identify experts to write detailed issue analysis <br />papers on the highest priority issues, and will distribute these papers to the larger <br />working group to define a range of potential solutions. In early 1996, the Trust will <br />prepare a "Emerging trends and management issues" report. This information, 4 <br />along with the issue analysis papers, will provide background and structure for a <br />stakeholder workshop, described below. In the fall of 1995, the Trust will produce a <br />report describing the results of stakeholder discussions. <br />Second, the Trust will organize and convene a workshop in early 1996 bringing <br />together many of the parties who contributed to the previous two steps in this <br />interactive process. The experts who have prepared issue papers will provide the <br />primary addresses at the program. The focus, however, will be on interactive <br />discussion between the working group and others who attend the program. The <br />Trust will produce a report summarizing the discussions and proceedings at the <br />workshop. <br />Final Stakeholder Discussions report November 1995 <br />Final Emerging Trends and Management Issues report January 1996 <br />Final Stakeholder Workshop report May 19% , <br />4/1/95 <br />41 <br />APPENDIX C 4
