Scope of Work 4-10-2009 � Colorado River Basin Nonconsumptive Needs Quantification � Completing this task will be contingent on recommendation and acceptance of Watershed Flow Evaluation Tool by Colorado Basin Roundtable Nonconsumptive Subcomxnittee and Colorado Basin Roundtable after reviewing its application in the Roaring fork pilot study. ■ Any site-specific quantifications completed in the basin will be considered to take precedent over the Watershed F1ow Evaluation Tool results and these site-specific quantifications will be used to validate results from the Watershed Flow Evaluation Tool Task 2.1 Stakeholder Meeting and Facilitation Cost: $42,206 ($42,206 WSRA, $0 Match) Public Outreach NCNA Sub-Committee and Consultant team will develop and hold a min;mum of three public meetings to gain additional public input and provide public education about the NCNA process. The public will be able to suggest other stream reaches that may be added to the mix for evaluation and quantification. Other means of public outreach will also be developed using various media and forums. In particular, the Sub-Committee will work with staff of the major transmountain diverters who are participating in the CBRT to develop an approach to outreach to this interest group. The final report will also be distributed to various public outlets and be available through the IBCC web site. Project Team Meetings and Coordination The primary means of coordinating on project activities will take place through the Colorado Basin Nonconsumptive Needs Assessment Sub-Committee. The Consultant team will meet with the Sub-Conunittee on a bi-monthly basis during the course of the project. At a m;n;mum the CDM project manager will meet with the Sub-Committee. When key deliverables are presented to the Committee other project team members will attend the Sub-Committee meetings. It is anticipated that other project team members will attend up to four subcommittee meetings. The CDM team will also develop monthly status reports on study progress. The following topics will be discussed during the bi-monthly Sub-Committee meetings: ■ Review of scope of work ■ Review schedule ■ Coordination with Colorado Division of Wildlife and other stakeholders on past quantification efforts in the Colorado Basin and what data is available for comparison with Watershed Flow Evaluation Tool Results ■ Locations to apply the Watershed Flow Evaluation Tool, with special consideration of how these locations will coordinate with CWCB's Colorado River Water Supply Availability Study. ■ Summarize where we have Colorado Decision Support System (CDSS) baseline nodes throughout the basin and develop stakeholder agreement on main nodes to be considered in the basin based on where the tool will be applied Page 4 of 15
