Sherman <br />Executive Director and <br />Co-Chairman of the South Platte River Task Force <br />Colorado Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Shemlan Street, Room 718 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br /> <br />Dear Co-Chairman Stulp and Sherman and South Platte River Task Force Members: <br /> <br />It has recently come to the attention of the Grand County Board of Commissioners that one of <br />the options proposed for consideration by the South Platte River Task Force is: "Support of <br />existing storage projects (e.g., Windy Gap Firming Project) and proposed projects (e.g., pump <br />back projects from Colorado River Basin)." South Platte River Task Force: Options for <br />Consideration at' 2.d. (July 27, 2007). <br /> <br />In its attempt to solve the problems associated with junior well pumping in the South Platte River <br />Basin the Task Force should not create additional problems for the Colorado River basin. The <br />County respectfully requests that the Task Force remove this proposal from any further <br />consideration for the following reasons: <br /> <br />1. The proposal outlined above impacts the Colorado River Basin. The Colorado River <br />Basin is not represented on the Task Force and therefore any consideration by the Task <br />Force of this proposal is wholly inappropriate and beyond the scope of the Governor's <br />executive order, which was in part to "bring together a broad range of stakeholders to <br />analyze the existing situation." <br /> <br />( 0OO26623.1X)C II} <br /> <br />P,O.
