The US Army Corps of Engineers announced two additional meetings and an extension of the scoping comment period for the RWSP, also known as the Green River Pumpback. One of the proposed benefits of the RWSP, the largest water project in Colorado's history, is the mitigation of future pressure on the Upper Colorado River and the state's western slope rivers. With the recent ACOE announcement, western slope communities will have a chance to review and comment on the proposed project. The comment period has been extended until July 27, 2009 and two additional scoping meetings will be conducted in both Grand Junction and Craig, Colorado.
American Whitewater has joined the Outdoor Industry Association and Outward Bound in formally protesting oil and gas leases that threaten the recreational experience in Utah's Desolation Canyon on the Green River. The development threatens potential wild and scenic designation, and the recreational experience of thousands of whitewater boaters.
