Agreement Number 2- AB- 30- 001110 Development of a Program Plan for a Precipitation Management Demonstration Activity August 16 through September 19, 1992 Considerable work was done on Task 3 - Environmental Compliance, resulting in a first draft report by the end of the reporting period. The draft is being circulated among all participants in the Environmental Compliance working group, including meteorologists, for review and comment. Individual comments will be incorporated into a new draft during the next reporting period. Significant progress was also made on the Task 1 - Program Design. Rough drafts have been prepared for most key sections of the Program Design, including appendixes dealing with (1) the experimental site selection process, (2) comparison of precipitation and supercooled liquid water observations between the Grand Mesa and the Wasatch Plateau, and (3) estimation of runoff associated with snowpack enhancement. The organization of the current rough draft of the meteorological program design includes the following sections: Introduction, Background, General Approach, Direct Detection Experimental Phase, Statistical /Physical Experimental Phase, and Project organization and Management. Sections have not yet been drafted for transferability studies or costs and schedules. A reasonably polished first draft of each section should be available for review by the end of the next reporting period.
