limited to local governments as opposed to say conservation group of <br /> whatever that would want to get some rights? <br /> R. Kuharich: I would look at this as middle ground. I would look at the potential for <br /> holding these water rights for individuals and special interest groups as <br /> potentially being fraught with mischief where an attempt to develop a <br /> water right would be met with an in- stream flow filing for recreational <br /> purposes. At the other end of the spectrum, I think it also excludes the <br /> federal government from filing on these water rights. In November of <br /> last year, the Forest Service published a report on by -pass flows, <br /> saying that in addition to requiring by -pass flows, the Forest Service <br /> could also modify channel, the channel structure and claim in- stream <br /> flow filings the same as Ft. Collins and Golden had claimed. I think it <br /> results in endless litigation, is my feeling. I do think that you have <br /> elected and appointed bodies that oversee their responsibilities and <br /> they do have a constituency to respond to. <br /> Mme. Chair: Senator McElhany. <br /> Sen. McElhany: Thank you, thank you, Rod. <br /> Mme. Chair: Are there further questions for Mr. Kuharich? Mr. Catany, did you <br /> want to make a statement? <br /> • <br /> Mr. Catany: No, I don't have anything to add. <br /> . Mme. Chair: Oh, OK. Thank you very much. Oh, yes, Senator Entz was going to <br /> tell us what order he wanted people to speak in. <br /> -Sen. Entz: Yes, Madam Chair, I'd like to have Rod Kuharich stay with me. _ ... . <br /> Mme. Chair: Sure. <br /> Sen. Entz: Now I'd like to call the ones that are against the legislation in order. <br /> Mme. Chair: The ones that are opposed. All right. The first person then would be <br /> Don Hartman, Dan. And a lot of people signed up without names — <br /> without addresses. <br /> Man: [unintelligible] <br /> Mme. Chair: City of Golden. OK, so we've got to assign Golden on a — <br /> [unintelligible], small town. <br /> Dan Hartman: I have some pictures. Would — can I just hand these to you now? <br /> April 12, 2001 <br /> Page 9 <br />
