Colorado has committed itself to finding ways of making wise use of its basic resources.

information, and programs of action. This process includes three major steps:

.

Progress Report, due February, 1972

Final Plan, due December, 1973

INTERIM PLAN
The Interim plan will contain specific plan recommendations with respect to resources,
capabil ities, trends, and policies determined during the identification and analysis
phase. These recommendations will center around the following areas:

. Criteria ond standards for assignment of specified environmental issues as areas
of local, regional, or state concern and delineation of the responsibilities and
authorities of the particular agencies involved.

Specific planning tools (impact models, forecasts, data, and criteria) for use by the
various state and local agencies.

Explicit land use recommendations for identified critical areas, such as major
recreation areas, transportation facilities, important conservation areas, and
areas documented as having hazardous conditions.
Financial programs associated with land use recommendations to ensure that
state and local agencies have the resources to perform adequately and where ap.
propriate, to recommend some form of restitution to private landowners for the ef.
fects of public environmental policy.

Administrative and management requirements of state and local agencies with
regard to the planning, evaluation, and regulation of public and private land use.

Identification of remaining deficiencies in the planning and implementation of land
use change in Colorado. These deficiencies will be identified by the issues in-
volved, the locations where they now occur and may occur in the future, and alter-
native approaches to their resolution.
