We would, also, like extend our <br />appreciation for the help you gave us in preparing the needed documents prior to the meeting. <br /> <br />The grant will help us greatly in accomplishing the work we have longed envisioned for the <br />Alamosa River. We feel honored that the CWCB has partnered in a river which for thirty years <br />has seen such abuses as channel straightening, de-watering, and acid mine pollution. These <br />problems have longed plagued us economically and environmentally. Already, we have began <br />the process of stabilizing the ri ver channel and the inigation structures. With your help, this <br />river, which has been often classified "a dead river", has a chance to become the viable river it <br />once was when our fore-fathers used it. <br /> <br />We understand you and the CWCB will be in Alamosa during the month of May. We would like <br />to extend an invitation to you and the CWCB to come see the Alamosa River. We would like to <br />show you the project and share with you the plan and vision we have for the future. Again we <br />sincerely thank you. <br /> <br /> <br />i cerely YOu~ <br /> <br /> <br />], hn Shawcroft <br /> <br />
