General guidance for using the Data is: One SNOTEL site nearing but not exceeding
thresholds requires the Permit Holder to notify the CWCB and Project Sponsors via
email.' If two or more SNOTEL sites in or near the target are nearing snowpack snow
water equivalent suspension criteria then the Permit Holder will email and initiate
discussions with the CWCB about operations. If two or more SNOTEL sites in or near
the target area have exceeded the State's suspension criteria then the generators that
reasonably affect those SNOTEL sites are suspended until the NRCS mapping shows
readings drop below the State's suspension criteria.
B. The Permit Holder will suspend operations when there is any emergency that affects
public welfare in the region. Operations in the target area will be suspended until
the emergency conditions are no longer a threat to the public.
C. The Permit Holder will coordinate with the Colorado Avalanche Information Center
(LAIC) on how cloud seeding_ operations affect public safety with respect to
avalanches. The CAIC will operate and maintain a Cloud Seeder user group on their
website. The permit holder user group will have access to highway avalanche
hazard levels. The CAIC will provide advice on public safety with respect to
avalanches. Regulations and operational decisions are the responsibility of the
CWBC and the Permit Holder.
