A dam proposed on the Green River in Sublette County could undergo scrutiny from Wyoming senators and representatives next week as the state’s Select Water Committee prepares to send an omnibus water bill to the Legislature. The select committee, which includes State Senator Marty Martin and Representative Stan Blake, is set to consider the 2011 water development funding bill Dec. 15 in Cheyenne.
Members of the Wyoming Water Development Commission, a separate, appointed board, voted 7-1 last month not to include a proposed dam above the Warren Bridge on the 2011 list. Therefore, $750,000 requested by Sublette County is not included in a bill the appointed board will consider before forwarding it to the legislative committee. The commission's deputy director, Jon Wade, says either the commission or the committee could amend the list and recommend the dam move forward.
The Wyoming Water Development Commission meets for a two-day workshop Monday to finalize the bill and forward it to the Wyoming Select Water Committee. The committee will meet to consider that bill Dec. 15. Both meetings take place in Cheyenne.
