years ago the fed eral age ncies were abo ut to des ignate th e South Pl att e Ri ver, above us, as 'wild and scenic '. That
could have ca used all kind s of water suppl y a nd other probl ems for loca l munic ipalit ies and th ere was a lot of
ques tio ns as to wheth er it co uld eve n be that way , brca use th e South Plane is su hi ghl y controlled anyway with dams
und rcservoi rs ... but it could have ca used a lot of ~,oblems. A number of agencies got to geth er and fo rm ul;ued a
plan and proposed an e ndowm ent th at would do a lot of th e thin gs that a 'wild and sce ni c' des ignatio n would do
with out going lo th e extremes. They fi ni shed their work, the Fore st Service has acce pted it and now we arc all
joining in on a pro-rata basis to form th e fund th at will do thi s work . I would hi ghl y reco mm e nd it and I think
keepin g it from a "wild and sc eni c' des ignati on protects our future wat er suppli es.
