RE:

Platte River Cooperative Agreement Budget

Since your last meeting, the most important development in the implementation of the
Platte River Cooperative Agreement has been the development of a draft budget for the
remaining 21 months of the Cooperative Agreement period. A summary of this draft
budget, which totals $1.315 million, is attached for your information. Colorado's share of
the total would be approximately $263,168, or 20 percent of the total cost.

Proposed expenditures mainly are intended to support activities necessary for the land,
water, outreach, and technical committees to complete milestones described in the
Cooperative Agreement. This budget does not include costs associated with water
conservation 1 supply demonstration projects, which are also called for by the Cooperative
Agreement, but which lack any firms plans or cost projections.

The Cooperative Agreement obligates Colorado to expend $900,000 in support of
Cooperative Agreement activities over the term of the agreement. To date, we have
committed approximately $300,000 of the total obligation. The proposed budget is
therefore well within our earlier obligation.
