<br />This has never been about, nor should it be about, some <br /> <br />large entity coming to get all the money to transfer water out <br /> <br />of somebody's basin. <br /> <br />That's not what this is about, even though <br /> <br />I know there's people out there that have this paranoia that <br /> <br />think that somehow that this is going to allow Two Forks to be <br /> <br />rebuilt or something, you know? <br /> <br />This is nothing about that. <br /> <br />This is to help the small <br /> <br />entities that do not have the financial wherewithal to do <br /> <br />environmental compliance and permitting and project feasibility. <br /> <br />And that's the biggest gap we see out there and that's what <br /> <br />we're trying to address, to help those small entities get over <br /> <br />that hurdle. <br /> <br />And I didn't really intend to glve a speech. <br /> <br />I just wanted <br /> <br />to kind of frame where we're at and why I think we should move <br /> <br />ahead at this time, and ask to dissolve the Committee and--what <br /> <br />am I trying to say--adhere, not adhere, concur with the House <br /> <br />position. <br /> <br />Discussion? <br /> <br />Senator Tapia: <br /> <br />I'd just make a quick comment if I could, <br /> <br />Mr. Chairman. <br /> <br />I appreciate your comments. <br /> <br />I think the decision to adhere to the House-passed verSlon <br /> <br />lS a decision to glve this Interbasin Compact Negotiation <br /> <br />Process a chance to succeed. <br /> <br />- 4 - <br />
