<br />Issues involving patterns of population growth and devel-
<br />opment are very important.
<br />

<br />Flood plain management is an issue.
<br />
<br />The aesthetic and lifestyle connected with loss of farm-
<br />lands is a concern.
<br />
<br />Population growth and its associated impacts affects every
<br />corner of the basin. It is of critical importance at both
<br />local and regional levels.

<br />Speaking of increasing demands from urban areas, also
<br />need to look at water diverted from other river systems
<br />and its impacts on Colo, River. (See 10).
<br />
<br />This refers to a bill that requires developers to consult
<br />with water board before building. The issue is linking of
<br />water demands to supplies.
<br />
<br />Impact on supply of Colorado River water caused by envi-
<br />ronmental or other demands from other river systems.

<br />REGIONAL STAKEHOLDER MEETING
<br />SALT LAKE CITY, UT
<br />We can collect good data, but we don't know what to do
<br />with it.
<br />
<br />This isn't really a good issue for this group to discuss.
<br />
<br />We think population growth drives everything,
<br />
<br />This is the context by which all other issues are discussed.
<br />There is really nothing this forum can gain by analyzing
<br />this issue. We just need to recognize that growth has cre-
<br />ated a lot of the problems, and continuing growth will
<br />exacerbate those problems and create new ones.

<br />Due to increasing population, the formerly remote lands
<br />(e,g., Forest Service and ELM) are becoming more heavily
<br />used and, in some cases, are crowded, Yel, because of the
<br />vastness of the federal domain, it is very difficult to police
<br />the use of these lands-whether that it is prevent overuse,
<br />litter, or vandalizing of native antiquities.
<br />
<br />Unleis dramatic steps are taken, many of the values of
<br />these :western lands are likely to be degraded or lost. These
<br />dram~tic steps might include (1) higher recreational fees
<br />for d~veloped sites, (2) reqniring fees and permits for back-
<br />counfry use, (3) developing a system of registration and
<br />tagging for all antiquities.

<br />anli through a process that is less court-focused and glacial

<br />b9 promptly resolved,

<br />We can not make decisions for the Native Americans

<br />Iris is a very important issue.
<br />
<br />It not convinced that tribes are really interested in selling
<br />e isting water supply off reservatlon, It's a whole dIfferent
<br />i .sue when talking unquantified water rights not presently
<br />u.sed.
