Section 2 CCR 406-16-1605 - Procedures for Granting an Enhancement Grant
A.Requirements of Applicants

Any applicant who can demonstrate that the project will enhance fish and wildlife resource values over and above existing levels may apply, within two years after the adoption of the official State position on mitigation, for an enhancement grant by submitting ten (10) copies of an enhancement plan to the Division's Denver office and five (5) copies to the appropriate regional office.

The enhancement plan will include:

1. A time schedule for construction of the project and implementation of the mitigation measures.
2. Any significant changes in the project and/or the mitigation plan.
3. A time schedule for the implementation of the enhancement measures.
4. A cost estimate of implementing the enhancement plan.
5. An analysis of the plan's benefits to fish and wildlife.
6. Desired results of the enhancement plan.
7. Impact of the enhancement measures on the surrounding environment.
8. A cost estimate and assignment for the operation and maintenance of the enhancement measures.
9. A plan to monitor the effectiveness of the enhancement measures.
B.Commission Action
1. The Commission will review the applicant's enhancement plan according to the requirements defined in #1605.A. If the Commission approves the applicant's plan it will submit a report to the Board approving the enhancement plan, evaluating the plan's contribution to the state's fish and wildlife resources, approving the cost estimate, and committing the Commission to contribute one-half of the costs. Commission concurrence of the enhancement plan is required before the Board can consider an enhancement grant.
2. If the Board agrees to fund the enhancement plan, the Commission will enter into a contract among the Commission, the applicant, and the Board, prior to the disbursement of the enhancement grant.
