<br />resource, from Denver to Julesburg, Offered to make bibliography of references, <br />Offered to make presentations on depletion methods (e.g, Glover vs, Modflow), <br /> <br />John Akolt - Counsel for Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company (referred to <br />handout provided by Manual Montoya) <br />The norm is going to trend back to the period of time before the 70s, 80's <br />and 90s, and that means there is not enough water to meet the demands in the <br />South Platte, Concerns with change of conditions on the river is reduced return <br />flows, increased reuse of transmountain water puts more pressure for senior <br />calls to come on. Senior water rights below them need their water before they <br />can fill; they have a limited window to fill. Overall change of administration of <br />wells; recognize the flexibility of the appropriation system; manage aquifers with <br />augmentation plans, The system is not broke. In the event there is <br />grandfathering of depletions, who bears the shortage? Not all water users are <br />impacted the same, Some are willing to forgive them (e.g, Riverside) since they <br />are senior and can keep call on to satisfy right. Should pursue voluntary <br />agreements with downstream reservoirs. <br /> <br />John Meininger - Spoke on behalf of Senator Anderson <br />Senator Fred Anderson asked him to emphasize a particular point of the <br />understanding of the statute and what the legislature did 40 years ago, basically <br />to not interfere with the priority system, The focus amongst the Task Force <br />should be that the statutory intention was evidenced by SB-407 which was <br />enacted in '67 to generate the studies that was referred to by Bob Longenbaugh, <br />The reports predict that strict priority administration will not achieve maximum <br />beneficial use, <br /> <br />Next four meetings: July 27, August 13, August 27, September 6, in Denver at <br />the State Capitol in Room 0112, 9:00 a,m, Additional testimony will not be taken <br />at these meetings, <br /> <br />The public meeting adjourned at 5:30 p,m, <br /> <br />- 9 - <br />
