difference between what an irrigation company says <br />they want and (there's possibly a difference) what <br />they actually need. So we are trying to clarify <br />and get a picture of the whole South Platte River <br />and then we will work from there." <br />MR. GILDERSLEEVE: "I'm sure you are, but the only point I'm <br />making is that those are studies which you are <br />carrying on and which you will carry on and the <br />members of the steering committee have expressed <br />concern about both of those." <br />MR. BARRETT: "That's right. That's why I say it may be the <br />desire of the steering committee that they delay <br />a decision on Weld County or Narrows until they <br />have some additional studies based not on costs, <br />but on hydrology and the service areas which should <br />be recommended. " <br />MR. GILDERSLEEVE: "It would seem to me that's what the concensus <br />of opinion has been." <br />MR. STAPLETON: "Would Mr. Sloan withdraw his motion then, on <br />that basis ?" <br />MR. SLOAN: "I'll withdraw it." <br />MR. BARKLEY: "I'll withdraw my second." <br />MR. GILDERSLEEVE: "Mr. Sarchet has a comment." <br />MR. SARCHET: "Would it be possible that we have an evalua- <br />tion here of the cost analysis and comparison of <br />the two sites from that angle? Would it be possible <br />to have an evaluation of the irrigation potential <br />of the two sites without going to the nth degree <br />as to considering transmountain diversions? But <br />there is a comparison that can be made of the <br />irrigation potential of the two sites from the <br />area directly affected, whether there is sufficient <br />demand for supplemental water below the Narrows <br />that would make full use of the irrigation poten- <br />tial. I doubt if there is. I'm not convinced but <br />what there is a far greater potential to serve <br />irrigation interests by the Weld County site. I <br />could be wrong but I still feel that way. <br />-42- <br />
