up to something in excess of $60/acre-foot for the National Forests within the Colorado River drai~age. 7he Task Committee discussed the ccmponents used by the USGS in developing the revised values. Since the revised values do not include any instream valuations for added hydroelectric generation or for salinity control, the USFS representatives said that they would look at increasing the values further for these elements. The USBR representatives said that they would make available to the USFS their studies on these valuations. Status of Forest Plans in Intermountain Region Pete Stender said that the forest plans in the Int'ermountain Region have all been deferred to enable the incorporation of newly revised valuations under the RPA system. As a result, the draft plans from the seven National Porests~ithin the Colorado Rive= drainage will all be completed and sent out for review in a 2-month period, December 1984 through January 1985. The National Forests are the Bridger-Teton, Wasatch, Ashley, M~nti-La Sal,Fishlake, Dixie, an~ Uinta. Stender indicated that only the first three of the above-named National Forests have significant timber harvesting opportunities that would lead to an increase in water yield from the National Forests. The possibility of snow fencing was discussed and Stender in- dicated that this was looked at in most areas, but found to be non-economical. Status of Forest Plans in Rocky Mountain Region Tom Elson distributed a summary of the status of the forest plans in the Rocky Mountain Region, Attac~~ent C. He said that most of the forest plans for the National Forests within the State of Colorado have been completed, and the Wyoming National Forests will be done soon. The tabulation shows some of the significant factors with regard to water yield increases for these National Forests. Those that are either wholly or partially within the Colorado River Basin would have a total average annual increase, over existing, of 88,000 acre-feet per year. It was stated that this yield increase was developed in the face of strong opposition to prcposals for increased timber harvesting on the Colorado National Forests, which harvesting is the principal means by which increased water yield occurs. Elson indicated that snow fencing has been considered a possible means in some of the National Forests. USFS Planning Process for Forest Plans John Rector of Region 5 of the USFS, covering the State of California, gave a comprehensive report on how the USFS conducts its RPA planning to accommodate all of the constraints and options on the planning effort. After extensive analysis of the lands, ~-1
