are at each location. "How much water legally must flow past a liven point <br /> during peak times, and how much water physically can get through here without <br /> • <br /> significant impacts at those peak times?" <br /> We will also be interested in structural and non-structural means for addressing <br /> the problem locations you identify. Structural means might be wiers, bank <br /> protection, stream realignment practices to stabilize a currently unstable <br /> location. Non-structural means might be modifications to land use regulations, <br /> open space/riparian easements, or proposing limited reservoir control. " <br /> Presentation to the Board <br /> On Monday, May 22, 2000, the San Luis Valley Water Conservancy District will make a <br /> presentation to the CWCB at the Board meeting. The presentation will provide Board members <br /> with an understanding of conditions on the Rio Grande and how those conditions affected <br /> landowners and other interested parties. Because of the length of the study reach, the substantial <br /> width of the riparian corridor in many locations, and the difficulty of access to the river, a field <br /> trip was deemed infeasible. The slide show should be adequate to convey the concerns about the <br /> study reach. <br /> • <br /> Conclusion <br /> The Rio Grande Headwaters Restoration Project is expected to provide the Water Conservancy <br /> District with sufficient technical information and guidance to make decisions about responding <br /> to the problems identified. Strategies, whether they be structural or non-structural, will be <br /> identified. The Water Conservancy District can then determine how and when it wants to <br /> proceed in trying to address unsatisfactory river condition. <br /> L:\boardmem\may2000\1If—rio grande headwaters restoration project <br /> 4 <br />
