   Draft Roaring Fork Watershed Plan  As of March 2nd, the Draft Roaring Fork Watershed Plan is available for review and comment. The Plan consists of a number of sections including an introduction and overview, recommendations for urgent actions, recommendations applicable to water quality, water quantity and regional water management, and a discussion of implementation. The matrices, which arrange the recommendations in a sortable format, divide the recommendations into several categories which allow for examining the recommendations from a number of perspectives such as location, key entities and recommendation type (study, project or regulation). Over the next several months we will be reviewing the Draft with local governments and other water management agencies with the objective of gaining the endorsement of those governments and agencies and moving towards a common implementation strategy. In the meantime, we want to invite the stakeholders who have been part of the watershed planning process for the last several years to review this Draft and provide us with your comments, questions, and impressions. Although the Plan is intended to be an ever-evolving and flexible document we do hope to have a final version in hand sometime in 2011.Roaring Fork Watershed Plan - March 2011 Draft Plan Roaring Fork Watershed Plan - Recommended Actions (Matrix Format - .pdf) Roaring Fork Watershed Plan - Recommended Actions (Matrix Format - .xls) Comment on Draft Roaring Fork Watershed PlanTwo Local Water Groups Release Draft Watershed Plan - Aspen Public Radio 3/10/11 Notable Quote "After experiencing three of these input sessions and listening to the dialogue, I have come to understand that we are really talking about changing the culture of our relationship to water in the region. We can propose some regulatory changes that could have some impact, but the real change will be based on people having a different relationship with water and a culture of water responsibility becoming part of our regional ethic. That cannot be mandated." - Bob Schultz, meeting facilitator Benefits of a Watershed Plan • A structure for continued input from and dialogue between all stakeholders |
