<br />This project is a Drainageway Master Planning, Preliminary Drainage Design, Floodplain Delineation Study on Bosley <br />Wash and Stub Ditch with the Grand Valley. The stream experienced three major flood events in the summer 1999. The <br />.. scope of work is prepared and the Request for Proposal (RFP) are on the street. The RFP submittals are due on October <br />_13,2000. <br /> <br />National Education Fottndation <br />Authorization: HB 00-1419 <br />Water Source: N/A <br />Location: Statewide <br /> <br />Grant Amount: $100,000 <br />Project Type: Educational <br />Project Manager: Dan McAuliffe <br /> <br />This two-year project consists of the development and distribution of the "Learning to be WaterWise" Program to <br />intennediate grade school students and households throughout Colorado beginning in the 2000/2001 school year. With the <br />funding provided by the CWCB grant and matching funds from local sources, the Program seeks to reach over 6,000 <br />students. About $25,000 will spent putting a variety of educational material on CD's for distribution in the fall 2000. A <br />$50,000 contract is expected to be signed with the Learning to be WaterWise program for distribution purposes. The <br />remaining funds will be held pending further review and recommendation from the Colorado Water Congress Education <br />Sttbcommittee. <br /> <br />Severance Tax Trust Fund Operational Account Grants <br /> <br />Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancv District - Water and Storage Needs Assessment <br />Authorization: HB Grant Amount: $100,000 <br />Water Source: Purgatoire River Project Type: Water Supply Study <br />Location: Pueblo Project Manager: Steve Miller <br /> <br />This project is being conducted by an enterprise created by the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District <br />ArSECWCDj in conjunction with municipal and agricultural water ttsers with its service area. In prior years, Phases I and <br />wn received CWCB grants of $100,000 from the severance tax account for an analysis of future water supply and storage <br />needs in the lower Arkansas basin [Buena Vista to Lamar). Phases I and IT resulted in a quantification of needed storage <br />space and a Preferred Storage Options Plan for meeting these needs. This work is now complete, and a required, detailed <br />presentation to the CWCB will made within the next 6 months. <br /> <br />CWCB - Regional Planning MeetingslW atershed Planning <br />Authorization: FY 200 I Grant Amount: $40,000 <br />Water Source: N/A Project Type: Watershed Planning <br />Location: Statewide Project Manager: Dan McAuliffe <br /> <br />The CWCB's local water basin planning efforts began in 2000. Meetings are being scheduled and local water basin <br />planning fact sheets were produced. Updating the information in the fact sheets and holding meetings is expected to <br />continue in this fiscal year. This information will be transferred to the Internet and updated annually. Additional <br />prodttcts, like specific basin instream flow fact sheets, will be prodttced as by-products and made available in hard copy <br />and on the Internet. <br /> <br />Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission - Rural Water Svstem/Methane Gas Fields <br />Authorization: FY 2001 Grant Amount: $30,000 <br />Water Source: N/A Project Type: Water Quality Study <br />Location: Trinidad Project Manager: Dan McAuliffe <br /> <br />The CWCB is authorized by statute (Section 37-60-115, CRS) to make water resource studies and investigations, <br />..:ncluding groundwater studies, watershed planning studies, and river restoration projects. An opportunity exists for the <br />w::tttdy of a rural domestic water supply created as a by-product of methane gas extraction near Trinidad. This study could <br />evolve into other water/energy production rehited technologies. <br />
