RESOLUTION No. 82- -�>�-,,
WATER EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
WHEREAS, it has been brought to the attention of the
Board of County Commissioners of the County of Eagle, State
of Colorado, hereinafter referred to as the "Board ", the
concept of a water exchange program as an alternative water
delivery system which would fulfill the present and future
water needs of both East and West Slope interests without
the necessity of developing all or a major portion of the
transmountain water diversion projects presently proposed
by East Slope interests on the Western Slope; and
WHEREAS, the Board 'believes it is in the best interests
and for the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens
and residents of the County of Eagle, as well as the citizens
and residents of the other West Slope Counties and of the
State of Colorado, to support a cooperative approach to the
resolution of water supply issues, and in conjunction therewith,
the further study of the concept of a water exchange program.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of County
Commissioners of the County of Eagle, State of Colorado:
THAT, the Board hereby supports the concept of a
cooperative approach to the resolution of future water supply
issues on both the East and West Slopes of the Continental
Divide, and in furtherance thereof, the concept of a water
exchange program.
THAT, the Board recognizes that there are significant
environmental, institutional, economic and legal details to be
resolved before a specific water exchange plan can be
implemented.
THAT, by reason of the foregoing, the Board further
supports and would cooperate in a meaningful discussion of the
details of any proposed water exchange program for the purpose
of proceeding with the resolution of future water supply issues,
but does not commit the Board at the present time to proceed
with nor support the implementation of any specific proposal.
THAT, this Resolution is necessary for the public,
health, safety and welfare.
MOVED, READ AND UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED by the Board of
County Commissioners of the County of Eagle, State of Colorado,
