Paae Two <br />Local Workgroup participants will be asked to attend and contribute to a minimum of 10 <br />facilitated meetings to share information, including stream protections already in place; reach an <br />understanding of available protection "tools "; and develop plans for the future through <br />consensus and /or negotiations. The goal of the Local Workgroup process is to engage a <br />diversity of people in collaboratively striking a balance between the protection of natural <br />resources and water development. The success for each Workgroup is defined as: a) <br />implementation and completion of a collaborative community process that includes diverse <br />stakeholders; and b) establishment of agreements regarding future action(s) or a determination <br />that current stream protections are adequate to protect priority values. <br />Along with designing the public involvement process, the River Protection Workgroup <br />Steering Committee has met over 20 times to inventory and document natural, economic, <br />cultural and social values for the six selected streams. The results of these meetings will be <br />presented to each Local Workgroup to kick off its discussions. <br />Contacts: For more information, contact Bruce Whitehead, SWCD (970- 247 -1302 or <br />water @frontier.net) or Chuck Wanner, SJCA (970- 259 -3583 or cwanner @frontier. net).
