P� <br />PRRIP — ED OFFICE DRAFT <br />.......... ...____ ........... _.__ ._....._____ <br />01/30/2008 ._._._... <br />The GC would receive a draft report from Boyle on the Water Management Study in January and <br />then would have time to provide comments and review the draft. The postponed Water <br />Management Study workshop would be held on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 13 in <br />Kearney. After that, final comments would be due to Boyle quickly so they could finalize the <br />Phase I report. <br />Kraus asked Butler if the Service is targeting March 2008 as the preferred time for the pulse flow <br />release. Butler said yes, assuming all factors in place like insurance, the EA bypass agreement <br />signed, and other necessary authorizations. Kraus asked about the status of pulse flow <br />a4oaitoring Smilb said the. eurrent direction is to us monitoring on water tracking and <br />hydrology as opposed to monitoring like vegetation and geomorphology. Butler said there is <br />discussion underway about where the water will come from and how to move it through the <br />system, and whether any diversions will be made at that time. Mike Drain said he was not sure <br />there are 4,000 acre -feet of available storage, but rather 4,000 acre -feet of available capacity. <br />That will influence the borrow /payback issues. Brian Barels said the bypass agreement needed <br />to be finalized and signed in order to move ahead. Butler said the federal authorization needs to <br />be passed, and the insurance issue needs resolved. <br />Meeting adjourned. <br />This document is a draft based on one person's notes of the meeting. The official meeting minutes may be different <br />if corrections are made by the Governance Committee before approval. Page 7 of 7 <br />
