The major- <br />ity of the power sites on the Green River lie within a radius of <br />one hundred and fifty miles from Salt Lake City. and they are <br />immediately adjacent to that area of such wonderful future in <br />the .b;astern part of the tlta te. '.i.'he map on the board illustrates <br />this. (See Bxhibit C, A~pendix ~alt T~ke City Hearings) <br />A large Bmount of preliminary enginecring data has already <br />been collected u90n this potential water power. In U.S.Geol- <br />og:Leal Survey ~iater Supply papcr No. 395 entitled "ColoradO <br />River and Its Utilization". Mr. :C. C.
