<br />o <br />In <br />o <br />~ <br /><;.? <br />o <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />additional water is needed. Completion date is set for December, <br />1990. <br /> <br />Cooperative Wetland Development Program - <br />In order to meet the strategy of waterfowl nesting/brood <br />rearing habitat and to meet the goals of the Statewide Waterfowl <br />Plan and to establish non-game habitat, the Division and the SCS <br />are interested in initiation of a coop project with private <br />landowners. This project would be associated with a canal system <br />to develop new wetlands and would involve private landowners who <br />would be requested to develop recharge pits in the form of <br />wetlands. This would involve exchange agreements and would also <br />act as a recharge system to the aquifer and benefit water <br />quality. <br />Action Needed: Area 17 personnel and southwest Regional <br />Habitat Section are to develop further details and contact <br />landowners and canal systems before final analysis of project can <br />be completed. Decision date is set for December, 1990. <br /> <br />BlM Jensen Tract - <br />This project would enhance the wetland habitat by direct <br />flow of water on to the property through a yet to be developed <br />system. Management will be conducted by the BlM and is <br />associated with the Blanca WHA. . The strategy of waterfowl, <br />nestin9/brood rearing habitat, open winter water areas, fall <br />migration habitat, non-game habitat development and enhancement <br />as well as additional viewing areas would be met. <br />Action Needed: Upon completion of technical analysis Area <br />17 personnel in cooperation with the BlM shall determine project <br />benefits. MARSH project has been submitted. Completion date is <br />set for early 1991. <br /> <br />Blanca WHA/State Land Wetlands - <br />Action Needed: Denver Water Resources Unit and Area 17 <br />personnel have initiated planning with the BlM to enhance the <br />wetlands at this area. The BlM has identified various options to <br />expand existing or enhance existing wetlands habitat to better <br />Quality. These options will all require additional water in <br />order to fully achieve the desired results. Negotiations are to <br />begin with the Rio Grande Water Conservation District and the BOR <br />to determine if water can be exchanged between the Division and <br />the Project and delivered via the canal to existing turnouts on <br />the Blanca WHA. MARSH project has been submitted. Completion <br />date is set for December, 1990. <br /> <br />Alamosa Refuge/Murnm Well Augmentation/Early Spring/Fall and <br />Additional Water <br />Action Needed: Upon completion of the technical <br />analysis the Denver Water Resources Unit and Area 17 personnel, <br />in cooperation with the refuges will determine project benefits. <br />Proposed benefits are to allow more open winter water, early <br />
