Manager's memorandum to State Steering Committee members dated April 14,

was made, however, July 10, 1978, as discussed in attachment A-5. This

5.

That the Yampa River in the vicinity of Hatden, CO be
added.

all pertinent gaging stations(S) and placing the reaches upstream from

them in three groups, namely:
