The GOCO <br />Constitutional Amendment states that GOCO cannot impact water laws, but does not provide any <br />other guidance on an appropriate role for GOCO in this popular outdoor recreation activity. <br /> <br />There has been an increase in the number of applications received by GOCO for whitewater park <br />projects and it is apparent there will be more submitted in future grant cycles. <br /> <br />The GOCO Local Governmcnt Committee has held two stakeholder meetings to receive public <br />input on whitewater park projects, which have helped in drafting general conditions that may be <br />required for these types of projects to assure that they are consistent with existing standards for <br />GOCO Local Park and Outdoor Recreation projects. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I <br />
