<br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />Richard D. Lamm, Governor <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br /> <br /> <br />DIVISION OF WILDLIFE <br /> <br />Jack R. Grieb, Director <br />6060 B road way <br />Denver, Colorado 80216 (825-1192) <br /> <br />!!~!!Q!~!~ll.M <br /> <br /> <br />TO: David Walker, Deputy Director <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br /> <br />FROM: Don Smith <br />Colorado Division of Wildlife <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Draft Report, Water Use and Management <br />Upper South Platte River Basin <br /> <br />DATE: May 19, 1982 <br /> <br />The draft report is very well done and requires but few comments from <br />me. It would be useful to have a list of representatives on the Study <br />Coordination Committee appended and also a map of the water projects <br />listed on page 99. I have listed a few minor comments below: <br /> <br />Page <br /> <br />. Paragraph <br /> <br />Remarks <br /> <br />38 <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />The description of the Colorado Big-T is too <br />detailed for this report. Compare with the <br />North Platte projects (pg. 34). <br /> <br />94 <br /> <br />Table <br /> <br />There are two -1/ footnote symbols for habitat <br />maintenance. <br /> <br />99 <br /> <br />Table 21 <br /> <br />List Greyrocks Reservoir. Why isn't the Cache la <br />Poudre Unit in Colorado listed? <br /> <br />101 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />Mention that there is no adverse economic impact <br />in Wyoming, if this is the case. <br /> <br />106 <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />The advisability of predicting future economic' <br />losses is questionable. We have been advised <br />by the Bureau of Reclamation to base wildlife <br />impacts from development only upon existing popu- <br />lations, not potential populations and losses. <br /> <br />111 <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />The loss of 40% of the flows in the South Platte <br />would also adversely impact hundreds of fish and <br />wildlife species dependent upon this river. <br /> <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Monte Pascoe, Executive Director' WILDLIFE COMMISSION, Donald Fernandez, Chairman <br />James Smith, Vice Chairman.
