There were approximately 1200 qualified ditch bill <br />applications in the Rocky Mountain Region, most of which occurred in Colorado. As of March <br />2004 approximately 300 easements had been issued. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />To "kick-off' the Forest Service's renewed activity on ditch bill issues, the Forest Service - <br />Rocky Mountain Region, Colorado Department of Natural Resources, and the Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board jointly sponsored a Ditch Bill Forum in Alamosa, Colorado in September of <br />2004. Mr. Cables has updated the Board annually on the Forest Service's Progress since that <br />time, and his staff has provided bi-monthly reports which have been made available in the <br />Director's Reports for each CWCB Board Meeting. <br /> <br />Today, Mr. Cables will update the Board on the Forest Service's activity to date and their plans <br />to proceed with this effort in the coming year. <br /> <br />. <br />
