<br />o <br /><::1 <br />W <br />--J <br />O"J <br />CO <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />are not spelled out. Presumably all of these amendments could be had if <br /> <br />people were of one mind in an optimum development for the Arkansas Valley. <br /> <br />ADMINISTRA TION <br /> <br />Administrative wise, it is probably desirable to have Lamar continue <br /> <br />pumping as part of any plan. This assures the continuation of return flows <br /> <br />from their pumping and would be a part of the valley development. Lamar <br /> <br />could possibly have two systems of domestic water - one system for its <br /> <br />drinking water and another system for its sprinkling waters in which the <br /> <br />pumped waters or any other return flow from sewage waters and so forth <br /> <br />could be used. Colorado Springs has been doing this for a number of years <br /> <br />by reuse of sewage water. The problems of Lamar are very closely related <br /> <br />to the entire area below John Martin Dam and above the Kansas line. <br /> <br />There is every reason - administration, water development, economic <br /> <br />development, legal aspects - to treat the entire area below John Martin <br /> <br />as one area and to coordinate the requirements of that area with the Bureau <br /> <br />of Reclamation and the Army and thereby enlise the aid of Kansas in any <br /> <br />changes in the Compact or in the administration requirements of John <br /> <br />Martin that might be required. <br /> <br />UTE PASS PROPOSAL <br /> <br />The Army's plan involves the use of federal funds and funds from local <br /> <br />contributors. Currently the sponsor would have to put up $16,000,000 <br /> <br />for rights-of-way, etc., and would have to pay the annual O&M charges <br /> <br />of approximately $500,000. This proposal was initially based on a plan <br /> <br />-8- <br />
