We have enlisted the assistance of many technical <br />experts and numerous agencies that play an active part and have an interest in ground <br />water issues that affect Colorado's Front Range mountains, Please see the attached <br />summary of study expenses to date, and our projected expenditures through June 30, <br />1999. <br /> <br />The issues of water supply and water quality are becoming increasingly important as <br />population pressures increase. This study is specifically designed to produce methods <br />and information transferable to other counties with similar topography and population <br />issues, Representatives from other counties attend our meetings, and the process has <br />provided networking opportunities to see how others are handling similar issues. The <br />issues of ground water supply and quality are of statewide concern. <br /> <br />We are in need of additional funding for this study, to be expended by June 30, 1999. <br />We have several participants who have committed financial support, as follow: <br /> <br />Jefferson County <br />EPA <br />USGS <br />CWCB <br /> <br />$320,000 <br />$70,000 <br />$193,000 <br />$50,000 <br /> <br />Several of these grants require a matching cost share from the County or other source. <br />For every $1.00 we receive from the CWCB, we are able to leverage $3.00 from other <br />sources. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />100 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, Colorado 80419 <br />(303) 271-6511 <br />
