Evans@state.co.us <br />Tamarack Operations & MWSI <br /> <br />When we had lunch, you expressed a desire to join a meeting regarding how we <br />structure an agreement between DOW, CWCB, and water users on Tamarck <br />operations, This meeting will take place on Friday, February 26 at 9:00 am <br />in Room 719, The focus of the meeting will be Steve Sims' analysis of the <br />role that must be retained for DOW to ensure we do not run afoul of federal <br />aid diversion requirements, Steve believes strongly that DOW must retain the <br />ability to shut the project down if it ever conflicts with the purposes for <br />which the property was acquired (Le" the created wetlands become so <br />sominated with cattails that wildlife habitat values actually go down), <br />However, Steve also believes we can craft an agreement that anticipates these <br />circumstances and provides sufficient remedies to aleviate concerns of water <br />users and entities like the CWCB that are helping to finance construction of <br />the facilities, For Friday's meeting, the principal audience is Bennett <br />Raley, who i believe thinks we are overstating the importance of the the <br />federal aid diversion issue, We need to demonstrate to Bennett that we have <br />done our homework on the problem as well as possible solutions, Otherwise, I <br />can envision Bennett starting a groundswell of water-user opposition to the <br />Tamarack site in favor of an alternative site not owned by DOW. While I am <br />not opposed to looking a alternative sites, they each will proably have cost <br />and control issues we cannot even anticipate, so unless Tamarack proves to be <br />totally unworkable, I'd like to retain our current focus, <br /> <br />DR <br /> <br />Page 1 <br />
