A <br />contractor has been hired to design the system. In addition, the Board is seeking up to $480,000 <br />for the equivalent of 3.5 FTEs during FY96-97 in the Division of Water Resources and the <br />CWCB. <br /> <br />Satellite Monitoring System Maintenance <br /> <br />The Board is again seeking up to $113,000 to continue their long-term commitment to the State <br />Engineer's Office to rehabilitate and up-grade the existing satellite monitoring system.

The plan will identify and evaluate potential solutions to improve channel conveyance, <br />reduce sediment deposit, control vegetation, enhance reservoir operations, and develop a self-help <br />program for landowners. The plan will address problems in the river reach extending from <br />Chatfield Reservoir to the Nebraska state line. Other participants in developing the plan include <br />the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, Weld County, Morgan County, Logan County, <br />and Sedgwick County. <br /> <br />Consolidated Water Resources Information Center <br /> <br />The Board is seeking up to $15,000 from the fund to continue the operation of the consolidated <br />Water Resources Information Center. <br /> <br />CWCB Annual Report, page 21 <br />
