<br />. <br /> <br />t <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />-- ____ .........u rl"'!;;Ul'1 <br /> <br />TO <br /> <br />13038664474 P.02 <br /> <br />March 21. 1999 <br /> <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />Attention: Greg Espergen <br />721 Centennial Building <br />.1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br /> <br />Dear Greg, <br /> <br />Our family bas been living and/or traveling to Colorado for over 30 years, <br />drawn by its incredible natural beauty and endless outdoor activities. Over <br />that time, we have been amazed at the growth and progress made throughout <br />Summit County. The building and commercialization has brought needed <br />volume for the loc:al businesses and prosperity for developers. The quality of <br />life for the vacationers and the loc:aJs has been refined to offer any living and <br />shopping conveniences of a sprawling suburban area. Unfonunately, it has not <br />been without an environmental price to the entire county. <br /> <br />The most recent issue is the efforts of Brec:kenridge developers to lay clAim to <br />the water rights of Miner'. Creek. If diverted, the water would allow <br />Breckenridge a new water source for snow making and increase the Vcllue and <br />marketability of the land along the new water way. Miner's Creek is a natural <br />stream which feeds two Jakes, Rainbow and Bill's .Ranch Lake, with tributaries <br />into multiple wetlands and Lake Dillon. If the water source is eliminated, so <br />would be the natural habitat for ALL the water dependent wildlife including the <br />beaver and spawning trout. <br /> <br />We would like to encourage the Water Conservation Board to couserve this <br />bastion of historic beauty for SWDDIit County before the only tourist attractions <br />left are outlet malls and chair lifts. <br /> <br />Sincerely, ~ <br /> <br />K~ruc:e Given <br />Bedminster, New Jersey <br />Frisco, Colorado <br />
