The purpose of the concept paper <br />was to solicit input from various affected and knowledgeable parties, and assist the <br />Board in selecting one or more of the alternatives for further analysis. The concept <br />paper was discussed at the May 6-7, 1993 Board Meeting and a subcommittee was <br />established to further refine the interim flow concepts. <br /> <br />The subcommittee met on June 8 and July 8, 1993 and developed the attached <br />draft concept paper. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />A draft concept paper is attached for your review and comment.
