<br />'.. <br /> <br />- <br />!dR, NORVIEL:i'ihen YOUl" }:roje0t was undertaken, \Vere you ab- <br /> <br /> <br />solutely assured that there would be no d'olvelopment a.bove that <br /> <br /> <br />th~t would interfere with your pruject? <br /> <br /> <br />MR. RUMP: No sir, \'Ie hal1 no USS:lrc.nce of that. We did know <br /> <br /> <br />that there \Vas d period for about two weeks of the year when it <br /> <br />would be a question whether we would have enouiih water to use. <br /> <br />The Hydro-electric plant might have to run on the river return or <br /> <br /> <br />stop; and we'have not had to do that. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: You \Vould expect the state to protect you in your <br /> <br /> <br />priority in the use of water of the stream? <br /> <br />MR. RUMP: Yes sir. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: If a proj"ct, above could divert a certain amount <br /> <br /> <br />of the stream, \Vould you be \Villing to waive your priority because <br /> <br />there was a more econo~ical use of the \Vater by the upper diver- <br />. sion? <br /> <br />MR. RU!~: No sir, <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: You would wish your project and its rights re.- <br /> <br />spected? <br /> <br />]',iR, RUMJ?: Yes sir. <br /> <br />~rn. NORVIEL: And enforced by the State? <br />MR. RU]~: Yes sir. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: According to my interpretation of your position, <br /> <br />the \Vater sup)ly should be developed according to the most econ- <br /> <br />omical use and your project might waive a certain amount of that <br /> <br />priority because \Vater could be used above and then re-used in <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />part by your project? You would be willing to subvert the last <br />priority because water could be used to better advantage by a <br /> <br />certain re-use of your project? <br /> <br />G. J. <br />
