<br />" <br /> <br />1. Support the DWR in their effort to maintain complianc!J with new satellite remote sensing technologies <br />through the ongoing refurbishment and replacement program, <br />2. Development of new stream gaging methodologies through research and advances in technology . <br />3. Flood Hardening of existing stream gages throughout tI;1e state. <br />4. Upgrade existing Colorado gaging stations to telemetr)j capability; improve real time access to the data; and <br />install new gages when required for CWCB and/or DWR programs, <br />5. Upgrade and maintain gaging and survey equipment, mid computer hardware and software required for <br />stream gaging data collection and analysis and provide Iltaff training as new gaging technologies are <br />developed. ' <br /> <br />Gaging Program Goals <br /> <br />The CWCB' s gaging program is part of the Board' sistrategic planning effort and focuses on the <br />following generalized issues and goals: <br /> <br />. Development of a process by which the CWCB, DWR, USGS and other stakeholders cooperatively <br />strengthen Colorado's gaging program, while meeting the needs and missions of all entities. Such a process <br />requires regular meetings to enable the CWCB and other entities to be informed, especially in instances <br />when the USGS, DWR, and/or other entities can no longer fund a gage that may be important to one of the <br />CWCB program areas. ' <br /> <br />. Development of a comprehensive list of streams that the CWCB has identified for gaging, and coordination <br />with otl1er entities for usage an~ .cost ~haring purposes. , <br /> <br />. Cooperation between the CWCB and DWR to identify roles and responsibilities with regard to Satellite . <br />Gaging needs within both agencies (A gaging MOA between the agencies has been formulated and work <br />plans and goals for each agency are outlined and updated on a yearly basis.) <br /> <br />. Identification of critical need gages that should be immediately funded as well as existing CWCB gages that <br />will require funds for continued operation and maintenahce. <br /> <br />. Development of a strategy to deal with long term Operation and Maintenance Issues including the possible <br />need for additional FTEs for the expansion of the DWR'satellite monitoring system. <br /> <br />. Continued development of the CWCB gaging budget, \yhich will be requested as part of the annual projects <br />bill process to meet CWCB's growing needs. Private o~tside contracts will be required to accomplish all of <br />the CWCB's Gaging issues and goals. ' <br /> <br />CWCB Request <br /> <br />This year Staff has identified the following projects" which will be funded with the proposed $331,000 <br />appropriation. This list will be refined in the next six montJ;1s to further identify project specifics such as <br />location of specific gaging stations and refinement of costs ~ssociated with the projects. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Flood Protection.
