Agenda Item _, Native Species Conservation Trust Fund Recommendations <br />January 27 -28, 2009 Board Meeting <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />through the states financing of the Elkhead Reservoir enlargement. Approximately $_ of <br />appropriated funds remains in the SCTF capital account and that is earmarked for the Platte River <br />Program. We have a foreseeable need for approximately $1.883 million over the next 2 or 3 years to <br />complete Colorado's remaining cost share obligations under the UCRIP and SJRIP. In addition, we <br />anticipate a need for at least $24 million to complete the 1St increment of the CA recovery program <br />and that need could increase depending on the final program that is agreed upon and the outcome of <br />the ongoing cost share discussions. The CDOW would like to see $3.5 million left in the SCTF <br />O &M account to support an on going species conservation program of $400,000. <br />The attached spreadsheets provide a summary of selected SCTF financial information. There <br />is no detailed information on total long -term projected State funding needs from the SCTF. <br />However, the spreadsheets do show that the existing SCTF balance is inadequate and that additional <br />funding must be provided this year. <br />Attachments <br />Flood Protection • Water Project Planning and Financing • Stream and Lake Protection <br />Water Supply Protection • Conservation Planning <br />
