CENT BY :USER LOWER COLO REG' '; 2 -21 -92 ; 9:46 ; AUMIN15fRV `N Or C-► 8U15318705;;22 <br />Depending upon direction of the Steering Committee, advisory <br />oommittees could be formed to provide specific direction on the <br />following three areas: <br />1) water management and legal issues, <br />2) dito specific and local community issues, and <br />3) scientific and technical issues. <br />Task 2 Cost $9S,700 <br />Task 2 - River modeling studies. This task would address the <br />question of how additional water produced by cloud seeding would <br />affect the Basin. over 8 years have passed since the last <br />studies were conducted. The hydrological conditions in the <br />Colorado River basin have varied significantly since that time, <br />and the potential benefits of additional water supplies need to <br />be evaluated in light of the current conditions and operating <br />criteria. This task would involve employing Reclamation's <br />Colorado River Simulation System model to determine how and where <br />additional streamflow would affect the Basin, including an <br />analysis of salinity impacts. <br />Task 2 Cost $31, 600 <br />Task 3 - Environmental compliance. Cloud seeding, involves <br />modifying clouds to produce additional precipitation, and will <br />require a National Environmental Policy Act compliance document <br />prior to initiation of any seeding. in addition, environmental <br />monitoring will be required throughout the duration of the <br />program; This task will identify the actions /activities required <br />to meet these requirements. <br />Task 3 Cost $26t700 <br />Task 4 - Report prep4ration. This task will result in a final <br />report in the form of ac recommended Program Plan. This plan will <br />provide the reader with a clear description of the activities, <br />time, and monies required to validate, quantify, and transfer <br />cloud seeding technology within the Basin. <br />Task 4 cost $20,000 <br />20 <br />
