Forest Service Reserved Rights Cases, Case Nos, 81-CW-220 et aI" Water Division 2. <br /> <br />Wendy Weiss on behalf of the state parties signed the stipulation allowing the Forest Service <br />to withdraw the Division 2 claims with prejudice. Only two other objectors have yet to sign <br />similar stipulations, because of what we believe are only procedural delays. Dismissal should <br />still be imminent. <br /> <br />2. Forest Service Reserved Rights Cases, Case Nos. W-1146-73 et aI" Water Division 7. <br /> <br />In June, the state and water users responded jointly in writing to the Forest Service's <br />settlement proposal. Our response set forth some general principles to guide future negotiations <br />that we would require in order to continue on a settlement path. The United States is apparently <br />still considering our response. Trout Unlimited has renewed their request to be made a party to <br />the settlement discussions. As the Board may recall, TU intervened in these cases in early 2000. <br />In fall of2000 they requested - and the U.S. and the other objectors refused - that they be given <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I Text concerning previously reported matters will usually contain only information on recent developments rather <br />than repeating background information. Material to which we wish to call special attention appears in bold italics, <br />and any entirely new matters are specifically identified as [NEW]. <br />
