<br />Martineau: <br /> <br />Jencsok: <br /> <br />Martineau: <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />this is simply a first step in making an appropriation. <br /> <br />Gene if I recall in the agreement between the Water Conservation Board <br />that Nature Conservancy with respect to the 300 cfs donation in the Black <br />Canyon the approach of the Board there was that it was at least 300 cfs <br />was what was needed in that minimum stream flow appropriation and <br />that's been the approach taken in the Black Canyon. Is there any <br />of that concept here, in this case? <br /> <br />Yes and no. Yes in that this a--it's not necessarily a minimum, we don't <br />know what a minimum is, I don't think the service provided us with a--well <br />they did in fact provide us with a minimum but it was more of a range and <br />as I recollect they provided us with a number of 600 cfs is that correct,-- <br />as the minimum that would be required in July, August and September but <br />based on their biological studies they recommended a flow window of 700 <br />to 1,200 I believe. 9 to 11 was the best recommended number and so in <br />some sense there is a minimum included in their report but this--the <br />implication is not that this is the minimum required to preserve the natural <br />environment to a reasonable degree. This is the amount that we found, <br />based on the studies we have done is available for the appropriation and <br />then we do more comprehensive studies and we have more, the full year <br />recommendations from the Service we will most likely revisit this period <br />and see if there's more water available on appropriation or do some other <br />things. <br /> <br />The 581 is based on the amount that can be checked back at the Orchard <br />Mesa Check, isn't--that's where is comes from. <br /> <br />Any other questions or comment, Eric <br /> <br />13 <br />
