An idea surfaced <br />during this analysis of forming a committee federal, state, and local representatives to establish <br />the exte:nt of analysis needed, level of protection provided, priorities for providing protection, <br />and suggest means of providing protection. These ideas are offered to further the possibility of <br />implementing the passage of flows higher than 5,000 cfs from Navajo Dam down the San Juan <br />River. <br />
