Testimony of Everett V. Richardson, 1990-1991
Scope and Contents
This subseries concerns Richardson's work as an expert witness for the Water Supply and Storage Company (WSSC) and the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD) for the case U.S. v. Colorado (W-8439-76). The National Forest Service (NFS) filed claims to in-stream water rights on the Cache la Poudre River in the late 1980s. WSSC and NCWCD opposed the filing and hired Richardson to investigate and testify on the validity of NFS claims. The case went to trial January 8, 1998, in Water District Court 1, and the NFS claims were denied. Richardson's files include notes, correspondence, depositions, legal testimonies, and court decisions. Richardson's arrangement was retained as found.
