The National Park has funded scientific investigations for 15 years and <br />24 <br /> begain discussions 6 years ago about protecting the flow of fresh water through the park. On <br />25 <br /> September 13, 2013, a petition was filed by the National Park to seek State’s assistance in managing <br />26 <br /> fresh water as land uses change around the park. Salt water intrusion into the fresh water is one of <br />27 <br /> the main concerns. On October 16, 2013, the Commission on Water Resources Management <br />28 <br /> extended the review period for the petition until December 2014. This will allow time to clarify <br />29 <br /> the basics for the petition. A request to share additional information at a future meeting of the KCDP <br />30 <br /> AC and to request any questions be submitted to the National Park so that those items can be <br />31 <br /> addressed. <br />32 <br />33 <br />ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS <br />34 <br />1.Minutes were revised as noted.
