would install permanent raw-water monitoring equipment at four priority locations on
Mount Lambom, providing more accurate flow and spill data upstream of the

available funding, the scope of current and future monitoring, state measurement
requirements, and the difference between the existing temporary monitors, which

expected to provide greater than 95% accuracy.

Staff noted that reference checks had been completed and summarized, and that
the interim process was being handled through the Colorado City & County
