The BLM believes that instream flow protection for these values can be achieved while allowing <br /> water to be developed for current and future needs, including municipal, industrial and <br /> agricultural uses. BLM is willing to meet with water users and stakeholders within the <br /> watershed to discuss any concerns they may have the impact of the proposed appropriation on <br /> future water uses and development. BLM is also willing to provide all of the supporting data to <br /> interested parties for their review. BLM requests that discussions with water users and <br /> stakeholder proceed during 2013 and that the CWCB proceed with its appropriation process at <br /> the regularly scheduled board meeting in January 2014. <br /> Attachments to this letter provide specific information with regard to recommended flow rates, <br /> habitat analysis, biological characteristics, and water availability. If you have any questions <br /> regarding this formal recommendation,please contact Roy Smith at 303-239-3940. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Helen Hankins <br /> State Director <br /> Cc: Barbara Sharrow, Uncompahgre Field Office <br /> Jedd Sondergard, Uncompahgre Field Office <br /> Valori Armstrong, Southwest District <br /> Katie Stevens, Grand Junction Field Office <br /> Nate Dieterich, Grand Junction Field Office <br /> Jim Cagney,Northwest District <br />
