Colorado River Recovery Implementation Program-- Page 9
• Water acquisition for the endangered fishes
Group Memory, February 28, 1992
Impediment Bin: Add to miscellaneous questions
* What happens when competing fishery instrument flow rights (sport vs.
endangered fish) comes before CWCB?
* Perceived lack of progress and emphasis in other aspects of R.I.P. is an
impediment.
* Perceived inadequacy of recovery goals is an impediment.
* How will other R.I.P. parties (including Bur. Rec.) deal with situations in which
it's not feasible to establish relationship b/t flow and population and/or habitat?
* CWCB criteria for ACQ of rights unclear. No recipe. Lack of planning
standards. Lack of substantive/process clarity. Need to break new ground in
reference to state water law and policy. No precedent.
* Lack of grassroots constituency support within agencies and among public.
• * Complexity of interpreting biological data vs. engineering data (technical, cultural
clash.)
