We recognize that this is a non-consumptive recreational water project <br /> and that recreational boating is a significant component of Grand County's and Colorado's <br /> economy. <br /> Throughout the lengthy negotiations culminating in the Colorado River Cooperative <br /> Agreement(CRCA), Denver Water and Grand County have worked in good faith with others <br /> to address a wide range of historic disputes. Recently, Grand County joined Denver Water in <br /> signing the CRCA. We trust that this letter will serve as a demonstration of our continued <br /> determination to cooperate on efforts important for Colorado's future. <br /> Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> r " <br /> James S. Lochhead <br /> CEO/Manager <br /> CONSERVE <br />
