Yampa Integrated Water Management Plan Subcommittee Projects
YIWMP Subcommittee identified projects
Using the IWMP recommendations and the Yampa-White-Green Basin Roundtable Basin Implementation Plan Identified Priority Projects (IPP) the YIWMP subcommittee has grouped the projects into three categories:
- Tracking – Tring to find a way to assist an on-going project
- Monitoring – project is funded and running, the committee will only follow it to verify it gets accomplished
- Not tracked – projects either has no proponent, is on hold, will be worked on in the future time, or is being run by an organization that is capable of funding the project and completing it
Using this grouping the subcommittee will only work on the tracking projects and monitor the projects that need monitoring. The not tracked projects will be reviewed as time allows or as when needed.
