We trust you will consider these comments when preparing the final EA. Owing to the
significant expenditure of taxpayer money, water user money and power user money
proposed to fund the RIP and especially this element, we believe a Finding of No
Significant Impact would not be an appropriate conclusion.

Sincerely,

".
