the Hearing Officer noted that all findings of fact contained in the <br />CWCB's recommendation will be presumptive as to such facts during the <br />water court proceedings, in allocating time for Pueblo's presentation <br />and in affording Pueblo, as the applicant in this case, an opportunity <br />to present a closing statement. Additionally, Pueblo is aware that, <br />in <br />reliance on the Prehearing Order as published on the CWCB's web -site, <br />at <br />least several members of the public have arranged their schedules in <br />order to travel to Pueblo to participate in the 12:30 to 1:00 public <br />comment period. It is unknown whether these interested parties will <br />be <br />able to participate in the shortened public comment period proposed <br />for <br />6:20 in the evening in Mr. Kuharich's memorandum. <br />It is unfair to Pueblo, and to members of the public who intend to <br />participate in the hearing, for the CWCB staff to recommend dramatic <br />changes to the schedule at this late date. Pueblo opposes any changes <br />to the schedule included in the Prehearing Order. <br />Christopher L.
