Todd Doherty <br /> Colorado Basin Roundtable Grant Request <br /> Page 2 <br /> ready and this money, along with cash and in-kind services, allows it to proceed <br /> to completion. <br /> - Colorado River Restoration and Conservation Projects/Eagle River Watershed <br /> Council. The vote was 19-1 in favor. Dissent cited the fact that while this paves <br /> the way for projects, it is still a study. The request is for$20,000 in Basin Funds <br /> and $90,000 in Statewide Funds. This initiative seeks to create baseline <br /> information about a stretch of the Colorado River that has been little studied. It <br /> will prioritize strategies regarding rehabilitation projects and assess recreational <br /> impacts with an eye toward directing recreation to the most suitable sites on the <br /> river. <br /> - Crystal River Watershed Assessment and Design of Restoration <br /> Projects/Roaring Fork Conservancy. The vote was 20-0 in favor. The request is <br /> for$15,854 in Basin Funds and$301,219 in Statewide Funds.This is a proposal to <br /> study a heavily impacted area of historical coal mining in drainage of the Crystal <br /> River. It will lead to projects,and includes a pilot project on road restoration. <br /> As well, we approved one grant request addressed at consumptive uses.The Robinson t <br /> Ditch Company that serves the Basalt-El Jebel area in the Roaring Fork Valley is seeking <br /> assistance for ditch piping. The request from the CBRT is for$60,000 from Basin Funds. <br /> The vote was 19-1. Please note that the application asks for$120,000.The dissent cited <br /> the lack of a revegetation plan, a need to engage the neighbors, impacts to wells and <br /> the fact that no ag was involved in this ditch that has seen uses migrate to urban uses. In <br /> halving the request, the applicants were also encouraged to apply for a low-interest <br /> CWCB loan to complete the work.The CBRT agreed overall that there are many benefits <br /> to piping this ditch that include safety to neighbors and the more efficient movement of <br /> water that enjoys about half its flow under pre-Colorado Compact water rights. <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> girt& Ctibtitoilr--: <br /> Jim Pokrandt <br /> Chair,Colorado Basin Roundtable <br /> Attachment:CFWE grant applications <br />
