Gary Hausler said that he is involved in a development north of Gunnison which <br />has two commercial wells which pump 100 gallons per minute. He said that the <br />wells were permitted by state before the Gunnison River was deemed over - <br />appropriated and no augmentation plan was required. One well was put to <br />beneficial use in 1965 and the other one last year. He said that his <br />understanding is that the board will not call its RICD right when the Gunnison <br />Tunnel or Redlands is calling.
