<br />003340 <br /> <br />M I NUT E S <br /> <br />Task Committee on Augmentation <br />of the <br />Colorado River, PSIAC <br />Quality Inn, San Francisco <br /> <br />September 20, 1984 <br /> <br />The meeting was called to order at 9:00 a.~. by the Chairman. <br />_~e following co~~ittee members and participants were present: <br />~.S. Forest Service - Tom Elson, Pete Stender, Bob Erwin, John <br />?ector, and Larry Schmidt; U.S. Bureau of Recl~"ation - Bernard <br />Silve~an, John Lease, and David Gudgel; Soil Conservation <br />Service - Ron Moreland; Utah - Barry Saunders; Colorado - Gene <br />.:"er.cso!::; Nevada - Dave Hetzel; New Mexico - Carl Slingerland; <br />:'~yc::1ing - John Shi.elds; and California - Vernon Valantine. <br /> <br />'.'aluation of Increased Runoff <br />i~ Colorado River Basin <br /> <br />Pete Stender reviewed the past standard 0: the USFS for in- <br />oreasi~g runoff for the national forest. The standard was set in <br />:980 at $5.00 per acre-foot for the planning activities of the <br />~s=s u~der the Resources Planning Act (RPA). 7he USFS raised the <br />evaluation up to $45.50/acre-foot, except for the Intermountain <br />?egion which was set at $12/acre-foot. The Intermountain Region <br />objected, and was permitted to further analyze the $12.00. The <br />?egion's analysis resulted in a valuation of $58.00/acre-foot <br />for the Great Basin and the Colorado Basin portions of the <br />2egion, and $9/acre-foot for the other areas of the Inter- <br />:::ountain Region. <br /> <br />Stender brought out that there has been a backlash from some <br />e~virQnmental groups and individuals, not of the USFS, saying that <br />the re'lised value is driving the forest planning process towards <br />greater amounts of timber harvesting and other commodity-oriented <br />objectives. <br /> <br />Tom Elson handed out a tabulation, entitled "Water Values- <br />,:se for Economic Evaluation of Alternatives" (attachment A hereto), <br />which showed the water values used for the National Forests in the <br />Rocky Mountain Region. The values ranged from $4.04/acre-foot <br />up to $9.93/ acre-foot. The tabulation also indicates that a <br />S45/acre-foot minimum would be used for the Colorado River Basin <br />for project implementation evaluations, reflecting the change in <br />the RPA standards. Elson also distributed a copy of a memorandum <br />',.,ith the subject, "Water Values for Economic Analysis", attachment <br />B hereto, which discusses the development of a revised water value <br />analysis. Elson said that the Rocky Mountain ?egion is pursuing <br />this analysis and hopes to obtain approval for :.Ising one of the <br />revised numbers shown herein. This would raise the water valuation <br /> <br />~/l? <br />
