J <br /> <br />Make note that the City of Steamboat Springs is going forward with the process to apply for a Recreational In- <br />Stream Channel Diversion for the Yampa River through its downtown corridor. I suspect the application will be <br />submitted within the next month if everything falls into place. The City is also going to ask for an lnstreanl <br />Flow for the reach of the Yampa through downtown, along with the RISCD. <br /> <br />During the SWSI meeting, everyone agreed that recreational use of water should be a requirement of future <br />water consideration in this basin. A RISCD and Instream Flow on the Yampa through Steamboat Springs will <br />allow for river level stability, which will drive recreation for years to come. As we all know, river recreation is a <br />very important aspect of the health of our local economy and these water allocations will allow for a somewhat <br />stable future. Please make note of this that I am 100% behind the RlSCD and an Instream Flow for the Yampa <br />River through downtown Steamboat Springs. <br /> <br />Thanks. <br /> <br />...~ent Vertrees <br />www.blueskywest.com <br />(800) 288-0543, (970) 871-4260 <br />Box 3239, 1724 Mt Werner Circle <br />Steamboat Springs, CO 80477 <br />mailto: kentv@blueskywest.com <br /> <br />1 <br />
