<br />.. <br /> <br />The following sections outline the central aspects of <br />the proposed plan for a demonstration project. The <br />environmental studies and development of suspension <br />criteria for minimizing possible ecological stress or <br />social hazards during heavy snow periods are discussed <br />in Part V. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />l. Areas. - The demonstration project would conduct <br />seeding in four or five separate subtarget areas <br />throughout the Upper Basin. The total target area <br />proposed would be about 6,000 to 7,000 square miles. <br />A typical subtarget area would be some l,500 square <br />miles or about the size of the current pilot project <br />target area (1,300 square miles). <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />subtarget areas would essentially be located within <br />the eight primary target areas. Location and selection <br />of the subtarget areas will be a main aspect of the <br />planning and will involve major coordination with <br />local and state groups, environmental interests, <br />concerned citizens, and other Federal agencies. <br />Local opinions and attitudes have been an <br />impor}ant aspect in determining sites for weather <br />modification research. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />19 <br />
