<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />hbl'006,htm at www.state.co.us <br /> <br />Page 3 of6 <br /> <br />recovery programs for the Colorado River, the San Juan River, and Platte River, The total cost of <br />these programs is estimated to be approximately $29 million through FY 2015-16, as explained in <br />the following paragraphs.. <br /> <br />The recovery programs for the Colorado and San Juan rivers are scheduled to commence in FY <br />1998-99 and are anticipated to require nine years for completion. The annual cost of these programs <br />is estimated to be approximately $1 million, therefore, the total cost for the Colorado and San Juan <br />river species recovery programs is estimated to be approximately $9 million for FY 1998-99 through <br />FY 2006-07. <br /> <br />The recovery program for the Platte River is scheduled to commence in FY 2001-02 and is <br />anticipated to require 15 years for completion. The annual cost of the program for existing permitted <br />facilities is estimated to be approximately $1 million. The program will require an additional <br />$333,333 per year for yet-to-be permitted facilities on the South Platte River. Therefore, the total <br />cost of the Platte River species recovery programs are estimated to be approximately $20 million for <br />FY 2001-02 through FY 2015-16. <br /> <br />Other programs approved by the DOW. This bill requires that any agreement to conserve threatened <br />or endangered species, or candidate species, must assist in meeting the regulatory requirements <br />pertaining to the conservation of species. The bill requires the funds to be utilized, to the maximum <br />extent possible, for the purchase or construction of capital assets that shall be initially owned by the <br />state then sold or used for other purposes when the agreement is terminated. <br /> <br />The DOW has developed a strategic plan to address the state-wide issue of conserving all native <br />species, and has subsequently developed a five-year plan, including cost estimates, to accomplish the <br />tasks of the strategic plan, Table I provides a summary of the annual expenditures for capital assets <br />and operating expenses that will be required for the DOW to accomplish each species conservation <br />program for FY 1998-99 through FY 2002-03. <br /> <br />Capital assets are generally comprised of fencing, habitat enhancements, conservation easements, <br />fish passage structures, water management retention ponds, real property, and equipment. Operating <br />expenses include personal services, travel expenses, operating supplies, leases, and rentals. The DNR <br />estimates that up to approximately 60.0 additional FTE will be required to support the requirements <br />of these programs. The DNR will attempt to utilize contracted or temporary personal services in all <br />practical applications, however, the total personal services costs have not been fully defined and are <br />not included in this fiscal analysis. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />peratmg <br />Costs <br /> <br />Costs <br /> <br />reenback Cutthroat; Colorado River Cutthroat; <br />io Grande Cutthroat; Boreal Toad/Wood Frog; <br />South Platte Native Fishes; Arkansas/Rio <br />rande Native Fishes; Amphibians, Reptiles, <br />rustaceans, and Mollusks; and Native Aquatic <br />rograms <br />errestna rograms <br /> <br /> <br />eregrine Falcon; Bald Eagle; Least Turn and <br />iping Plover; Black Footed Ferret; Prebles <br />eadow Jumping Mouse; Prairie Grouse, Lynx <br />nd Wolverine; Burrowing Owl; Kit Fox; and <br />ther species <br /> <br />http://v.'ww.state.co.us/gov_dir/leg_dir/lcs/fn/fnote98/hb I 006.htm <br /> <br />1/21/98 <br />
