17 <br />1 1 The decree is a little complex, but if anybody would like to <br />2 go through the numbers, why, we can figure that out. <br />3 MR. COOLEY: I don't know about the rest of you, <br />4 but I would be delighted to get into a discussion of Muddy <br />5 Creek. It would be singularly appropriate for you to do a <br />6 thorough job on this, Bob, at this time. <br />7 MR. JESSE: Well, can everybody hear nee all nigh <br />8 The court issued, on the 13th of June, 1968, a <br />9 decree that changed the Muddy Creek -- a portion of the Muddy <br />10 Creek water rights to John Martin storage, and I went through <br />11 the decree and, as I understand it, they changed 5,000 acre --fee <br />12 of the Muddy Creek reservoir rights and in the decree there was <br />13 a number of conditions, but the major one was the construction <br />14 of the two gages: which we were discussing here that have been <br />15 completed and, as I understand, are in operation. We are <br />1611 planning to monitor them as best we can. <br />17 <br />MR. COOLEY: <br />Bob, <br />I want to interrupt. I've got <br />18 <br />a whole bunch of questions <br />that <br />are fundamental to this and I'd <br />ig <br />like not to put you on oath <br />but <br />I'd like to ask you five or ten <br />20 <br />quick questions just to lay <br />the <br />groundwork on this thing <br />21 <br />because if we don't get to <br />the bottom of the barrel, then all <br />22 your fine remarks on where we are today will have less bearing. <br />23 We were taken to a washed -out reservoir on <br />24 Muddy Creek that had a large capacity. Is the right for that <br />25 breached reservoir a valid water decree? <br />
