• Board Meeting Date: 1/27/1999

• Board Meetings - Doc Type: Memo

.

Progress of the La Plata County Rural Domestic Water Study ($20,000), the Southern High
Plains Ground Water Management Study ($10,000), and a few other FY99 projects has been slow.
The staff has since identified several other projects that might warrant consideration provided some
of these funds may be reallocated. It would be a good idea to run any proposed changes by the water
subcommittee of the MEGA Board.

The new ideas include the projects identified in the attached memo by Larry Lang and the most
of the projects to be presented under agenda item 16 at this meeting. Specifically, these projects
include:

South Platte River Decision Support System Scoping Initiative
El Paso County Water Authority Water Study
Colorado Climate Center - Colo. Collaborative Rain and Hail Study
Southeastern Colorado WCD -'Phase II Needs Assessment
Purgatoire River WCD - Transit Loss Study AmendmentJReauthorization
1-25 Corridor Master Drainage Plan
