As General Manager, I am vel) concerned about <br />the future of water and water use in Jackson County. The 1hree :filings I am <br />referring to are on the North Fork of the North Platte River and the South Fork <br />of Big Creek and Indian Creek, which will be particularly injurious to the <br />Silver Spur Ranch. <br /> <br />Agriculture is the main industry in Jackson County and It elieve that this <br />action will injure existing water rights critical to the indus':ry. Any future <br />expansion of agriculture or any other industry in Jackson County will be <br />seriously damaged by these filings. In the past, in-stream filings have been <br />above existing diversions. I strongly object to any in-stre2 m flow filings <br />below the first diversion on any stream in Jackson County These filings <br />should not be allowed. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Thad York <br />General Manager <br /> <br />
