Additional Information to describe the Operations and Evaluation of the Project <br />Many design and operational features of this program have been based upon the findings and <br />experience learned through operating the Bureau of Reclamation's Colorado River Basin Pilot Project in <br />the upper San Juan River Basin. The placement of ground -based generators, identification of storm <br />systems with favorable modification potential and concern for public safety and awareness through <br />reasonable operations are specifically some of the refinements to be incorporated into the proposed <br />wintertime weather modification program. An operational report will be furnished to the program <br />participants and the Director of Natural Resources following each seeding season in which precipitation <br />within the project area will be indicated with any pertinent comments to comparison with respect to <br />normal or precipitation in adjacent areas. The proposed program will be operated nearly identical to <br />programs operated by Western Weather Consultants LLC during the past 35years in Colorado. <br />Evaluations of these programs have been consistent with research findings from the San Juan CRBPP <br />Program and the Vail Operational Evaluation. Both of these evaluation studies were completed by <br />Western Weather Consultants LLC. <br />
