Grand Junction Process (Lower Colorado River)
This process is still in its infancy. The stakeholders have contributed funds towards this effort ,
and the Colorado River Water Conservation District has agreed to act as the fiscal agent. The
District has entered into a contract with Heather Bergman, of the Keystone Center, to act as a
facilitator, and there was a meeting on November 3, 2009 in Grand Junction wherein they agreed
to establish subgroups to deal with certain streams. This process is moving very quickly to meet
a May 2010 deadline. Rebecca Mitchell, of the Executive Director's Office is overseeing this
effort.
