(Please see attached project description and map.) <br /> <br />Staff Comments <br /> <br />The Closed Basin project, and its subsequent efficient operations, are considered <br />to be of statewide concern and importance since the purpose of the project assists the <br />State of Colorado in meeting its' commitment to the States of New Mexico and Texas <br />under the 1939 Rio Grande Compact. The rehabilitation of the project wells will allow <br />the BOR's project operations to meet the water quality and quantity requirements set <br />forth in the Rio Grande compact. For these reasons, this project should be considered as <br />addressing an issue of "statewide impact or importance", The District's funding request <br />is for less than 45% of the total project cost. The BOR is continuing to search for cost <br />sharing opportunities to be combined with federal funds to enable the project to reach a <br />more sustainable and reliable level of production. <br /> <br />Flood Protection.
