W2 -1 The Nebraska Districts will implement any water reregulation and water
<br />conservation measures required by new FERC license articles for FERC
<br />Projects Nos. 1417 and 1835.
<br />W3 -1 Nebraska will develop means for protecting Program water deliveries, above the
<br />existing flow conditions, to and through the critical habitat and will, in
<br />cooperation with the other parties, select pilot projects for potential protection
<br />under Nebraska Statute 46 -252.
<br />W4 -1 Nebraska will develop means for protecting, where appropriate, existing flow
<br />conditions in Nebraska by: monitoring and documenting new water related
<br />activities in the Platte River Basin in Nebraska upstream of the confluence with
<br />the Loup River and, in coordination with the depletion impact analysis described
<br />in Milestone W14 -1, identifying and beginning to evaluate optional ways to
<br />mitigate, offset for, or prevent any new depletions if a Program is initiated.
<br />W5 -1 Colorado will develop means, if such are necessary, for protecting Program
<br />water deliveries to the Colorado- Nebraska state line and, as appropriate, the
<br />Colorado - Wyoming state line.
<br />W6 -1 Within six months from the effective date of the Cooperative Agreement,
<br />Colorado will provide to the Governance Committee population estimates within
<br />the South Platte River Basin in Colorado (in accordance with Att. III, App. A,
<br />Tab 3B).
<br />W7 -1 Within six months from the effective date of the Cooperative Agreement,
<br />Colorado will provide to the Governance Committee an estimate of the expected
<br />population increase within the South Platte River Basin in Colorado for the
<br />period ending five years from the effective date of the Cooperative Agreement
<br />(in accordance with Att. III, App. A, Tab 3B).
<br />W8 -1 Within six months from the effective date of the Cooperative Agreement,
<br />Colorado will recommend to the Governance Committee assumptions
<br />concerning the monthly distribution of the accretive /depletive effects of sources
<br />of supply in accordance with Att. III, App. A, Tab 3B. The Governance
<br />Committee will review and verify assumptions concerning the monthly
<br />Committee will be directed to engage the services of a competent hydrologic
<br />engineering entity through a competitive bid process, and thereby initiate the
<br />Study. The Governance Committee, acting through the Water Management
<br />Committee, will identify and initiate any demonstration water
<br />'
<br />conservation/supply projects that could be pursued immediately without the
<br />benefit of further information to be derived from the study.
