26 to be up for consideration.                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR  MICCICHE   said  some  of  his  constituents   had  concerns                                                           
about  their ability  to appeal.  His response  was that  they had  to                                                          
become  engaged  at some  point  before  the appeal,  and  the  second                                                          
concern  was water  reservations.  So,  he wanted  to respond  that  a                                                          
person  or NGO  has never  been given  a water  reservation  and  that                                                          
hadn't  changed.  He  also  stated  that  experience  has  shown  that                                                          
groups  or NGO's  with a  good case  are generally  able  to convince                                                           
a  political   subdivision   to  support   their   water  reservation                                                           
request.
