The capacity in the October, <br /> 1948, survey, is 394,640, a reduction in capacity, if I have 0 <br /> figured it correctly, of 25,428 acre feet. <br /> At elevation 3,870, which is the top of the flood pool, <br /> w <br /> the initial capacity was 701,218 acre feet. The capacity in <br /> the October, 1948, survey is given as 676,087 acre feet, a <br /> loss in capacity of 26,131 acre feet. <br /> I was interested, Mr. Chairman, to turn to Table 16 in <br /> the interim report, where the engineering committee attempted <br /> to estimate the rate of silting. The reservoir first began <br /> to accumulate silt in 1942, although not complete, in fact, <br /> in the great flood of that year considerable silt moved in. <br /> Thus the reservoir has been accumulating silt for seven <br /> years. In our interim report we estimate the silt accumula- <br /> tion in the first seven years of operation at 39,631 acre <br /> feet. Apparently we overestimated it a bit, the figure now <br /> being 28,131. <br /> CHAIRMAN KRAMER: Roughly two-thirds. <br /> JCR. KNAPP: I think that is all I have to report, Mr. <br /> Chairman. <br /> CHAIRMAN &RAK.2 R: Are there any comments or questions? <br /> MR. IRELAND: Is that largely a matter of siltation--how <br />
