1.5 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT

A publ ic involvement program was establ ished and implemented in
conjunction with the Study in order to achieve the following objectives:

1. Inform the public about the Study process, purpose, and need;
2. Invite public comment during the Study process;
3. Establish and maintain credibility of the Study process.

The Authority has been responsible for conducting the public information
and involvement program. HDR has provided information and other materials in
support of the Authority's efforts, and has also attended and participated in
meetings at the request of the Authority.

Interaction with the AC and the public has been the responsibility of the
Authori ty' s Project Manager. Several publ i c meet i ngs and AC meet i ngs have
been held in Montrose and Gunnison during the course of the Study. Dates and
subjects of these meetings, all of which were open to the public, are shown in
Table 1.3. In addition to these meetings, Authority representatives and Study
Team members met with more than 20 individuals or representatives of economic,
environmental, and governmental entities. Their input is also gratefully
acknowledged.

In addition, data repositories were established where interested parties
not serving on the TSC or AC could have access to all the reports prepared
during the course of the Study. A list of the data repositories is in Table
1.4.
