<br />18 <br /> <br /> <br />0Q1957 <br /> <br />3. The work of the Recreation Subcommittee shall, at all times, be <br />coordinated with that of the PSIAC and with that of its other subcommittees <br />as the Chairman may decide to be advisable. <br /> <br />y <br /> <br />4. The chairman shall provide PSIAC with a brief annual report describing <br />activities and accompl ishments of the subcommittee not later than June 1st <br />of each year. This report will be on a fiscal year basis for inclusion in <br />the annual report of PSIAC. <br /> <br />PROGRAM <br /> <br />1. General, Owing in large part to the comparatively recent emergence of <br />recreation as a highly important aspect of water resources projects, firm <br />and consistent Federal and State pol icies thereon have not yet fully <br />evolved. Such policies are in a porticularly "fluid" condition at this <br />time, and appear unlikely to crystallize fully for some years to come. <br />Since the determination of such policies is properly the responsibility of <br />higher administrative and legislative bodies, it is considered that the sub- <br />committee should avoid dealing with the basic policy matters, insofar <br />as practicabl e. Unless specifically asked by the Parent Committee to <br />study and make recommendations on basic policy matters, it is considered <br />that the subcommittee should confine its studies to matten; essentially of <br />a technical nature, os implied by its designation as a "technical" sub- <br />commlttee. The principal objective of subcommittee efforts should be to <br />improve the implementation of established policies. For example, it <br />appears that particularly suitable matters for subcommittee study might <br />include items of the following general nature: <br /> <br />(a) preparation of administrative guides and technical manuals relative <br />to health, sanitation, safety, and the general means to enhance the public <br />enjoyment of recreation areas; <br /> <br />(b) Mtlthodology for implementing established policies, such as improve- <br />ment in techniques for predicting amount and types of publ ic use requiring <br />accommodations, as well as other factors affecting the qual ity of recreation <br />plans; and <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />(c) developing a glossary of terms used in recreation and related water <br />resources planning ond operation, as an aid to communication and mutual <br />understanding among representatives of various participating ogencies. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />Study Program, The following problem topics are proposed for early <br />consideration in suggested general order of priority: <br /> <br />(a) Practicability of utilizing domestic water supply reservoirs for recreation. <br />Consider developing a guide manual for recreation use of such reservoirs <br />consistent with preserving safe domestic woter quality. <br />
