July 22, 1994 Draft <br />7/22/94 <br />Mr. Jack Garner <br />U.S. Bureau of Reclamation <br />Loveland Projects Office <br />Loveland, CO 80537 <br />SUBJECT: Ruedi Round 2 Water Sales - Reinitiation of <br />Consultation Due to Critical Habitat <br />Dear Jack: <br />I want to express our appreciation for your taking the time to <br />meet with Tommy Thomson, Eric Wilkinson, Eric Kuhn, Peter <br />Evans and me on June 15 to discuss our concerns regarding the <br />pending reinitiation on consultation on Ruedi Round 2 water <br />sales resulting from the critical habitat designation, and for <br />our follow -up discussion on July 22. We appreciate your <br />efforts to insure an equitable and timely resolution of this <br />matter. <br />I think it would be useful at this time to clarify the water <br />users, position regarding the reinitiation of consultation and <br />conservation measures that may result from that consultation. <br />Based on our meeting and conversation on July 22, we <br />understand that the following will take place: <br />1. Your office will provide a draft letter to U.S. Fish and <br />Wildlife Service suggesting that consultation on the Ruedi <br />Round 2 water sales be reinitiated to address critical habitat <br />issues. Your letter will request consideration of the fact <br />that Ruedi is already providing water to offset the Round 2 <br />
