He ' 1i idicated that getting A -LP Project Water from Lake Nighthorse would be a huge obstacle in utilizing A-

The rown of Ignacio (Ignacio) is surrounded on three sides by the Southern Ute Reservation. Ignacio has a
popi lation of about 700 people and purchases potable water from the Southern Utes off of the Vallecito
Rest rvoir. In discussions with Balty Quintana, Ignacio's Town Manager, and Dirk Nelson, Town Attorney, it

not i 7ant to upset their relationship with the Tribe and use of this water would require the construction of a
wate r treatment plant.
