Senator Fred Anderson <br /> April 4, 1980 <br /> Page four <br /> assuredly cost several hundred dollars per acre-foot of yield, <br /> thus indicating that water from Ruedi is likely to be an attractive <br /> and economically competitive alternative for the industry. <br /> With respect to the point that public policy factors could be <br /> taken into account if the State controlled the marketing of water, <br /> a few examples should serve to illustrate this point. First, state <br /> control would permit a balance to be struck between the marketing <br /> of water and the maintenance of a recreation pool. Second, state <br /> control could permit the adoption of operating criteria which would <br /> enhance the management of instream flows below the reservoir on the <br /> Fryingpan River, which is one of the state 's blue-ribbon trout <br /> fisheries . Third, differential prices could be charged to differ- <br /> ent classes of users . This may be a particularly important point <br /> in light of the fact that the Carter Administration has implied <br /> from time to time that they might adopt a policy of simply selling <br /> water from federal projects to the highest bidder on a first come <br /> first served basis . <br /> • <br /> BMcD:tam <br /> cc: Rep.
