This small subset <br /> includes representatives of the state, east slope water providers, west slope interests, and <br /> conservation and recreation interests. The full Stakeholder Group is set to meet on February 18th <br /> to review the changes for purposes of submission of this revised draft plan to BLM. I am very <br /> optimistic that the Stakeholder Group will submit an electronic copy of the revised plan by the <br /> February 28th deadline mentioned in your letter. We will inform you whether the Stakeholder <br /> Group will submit the plan for consideration by the BLM as soon as possible after February 18th. <br /> 201 Centennial Street/ PO Box 1120 ' Glenwood Springs, CO 81602 <br /> (970) 945-8522 • (970) 945-8799 Fax <br /> www,ColoradoRiverDistrictorg <br />
