• Board Meeting Date: 7/23/2002
• Description: Flood Section - Wild Fires Updates - Watershed Restoration
• Board Meetings - Doc Type: Memo

.

12 federal agencies and four state departments (DNR, CDPHE, Ag, and DOLA--including OEM)
are involved in fire restoration efforts to protect watersheds and water supplies. These folks have
formed a "Multi-Agency Restoration and Rehabilitation Team (MRRT). The MRRT has a
leadership council that will meet as needed that Rick Cables will chair. There is also a task force
that will meet more regularly that I will chair. The task force will do more of the day-to-day
coordination.

The mission of the MRRT is "to facilitate communication and coordination among federal and
state agencies for restoration and rehabilitation needed due to wildiand fires in Colorado."

Here are the main contacts for press on the fire coordination efforts (I don't have contact info for a
few of the signatories--FWS and BIA).

Rick Cables USFS [phone]
Ann Morgan BLM [phone]
Allen Green NRCS [phone]
Lind Kerr NPS [phone]

Hope this helps!
