I am testifYing before you today on <br />behalf of the Director and Secretary of the Colorado Water Conservation Board, Daries <br />C. Lile. The CWCB is the water policy planning agency for the State of Colorado. The <br />CWCB has not yet adopted an official position on this Bill. However, the CWCB has <br />been actively involved with this legislative effort for a number of years and would like to <br />provide the Committee with the following observations. The CWeB hopes to provide <br />the Committee with formal written comments after its July meeting. <br /> <br />S. 1424 will create the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park Complex. <br />This will be achieved by redesignating the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National <br />Monument as the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park; creating the Gunnison <br />Gorge National Conservation Area on Bureau of Land Management lands downstream <br />and immediately adjacent to the new park; and incorporating these two areas with the <br />existing Curecanti National Recreation Area that surrounds the three reservoirs which <br />comprise the Aspinall Storage Unit of the Colorado River Storage Project located along <br />the Gunnison River immediately upstream of the proposed park. <br /> <br />Roy Romer <br />Govemor <br />James S. f och....." <br />&.emive Dixmor.
