Fiscal Detail and Notes
The Department of Conservation will require a one-time General Fund appropriation of $1,370,000 in fiscal year 2007-08 for the costs of employing a consultant to develop a comprehensive total water management plan for the state.  The department considers this estimate to be very conservative based on review of only 10 watersheds for sustainability.
