■ <br /> I <br /> 11 mechanism can be worked out here, why we don't inherently have a problem with <br /> water being stored in the permanent pool. We've supported that for years,but in <br /> I reality you have a tradeoff between filling the permanent pool versus some amount <br /> of additional benefit downstream. Tom,that's what I was really trying to say <br /> earlier. <br /> ITrujillo: Okay,Mr. Evans and Mr ... any other discussion on this? Mr. Evans and Mr. <br /> Pope,how do you wish to proceed? <br /> IPope: Well, earlier, Peter Evans said, or Steve Miller, one had talked about some <br /> alternatives for sources of water and I guess I was still interested in having those, <br /> I at least hear about and consider, and perhaps after that we'll be in a position to <br /> know what action is appropriate. <br /> I Trujillo: Well, any alternative sources would, if this resolution is adopted, have to comply <br /> with the Operating Criteria of 1976. Am I correct? <br /> IPope: That's our view. That's right. <br /> Trujillo: Well,what would be the harm in adopting this resolution? And of course <br /> Itransfers couldn't take place without it being agreed upon both by the State <br /> Engineer of Colorado and the Chief Engineer of Kansas, and to proceed and leave <br /> this matter in their hands that that transfers could take place, one, if they agreed <br /> Iupon it and,two, if it met the Operating Criteria of 1976? Is there a problem with <br /> that, either Mr. Evans or Mr. Pope? <br /> IEvans; This is Peter Evans,Mr. Chairman, and certainly we don't a problem with that ... <br /> obviously we have some issues that our State Engineer and Mr. Pope would need <br /> to work out but I think that would provide the framework,taking advantage of <br /> this commission meeting to give us the latitude to do that. <br /> I Trujillo: Reading the draft of this resolution that's before me, it certainly doesn't approve <br /> anything other than what you have just stated because you still have those two <br /> criteria that have to be met,which is agreement between the two states along with <br /> 1 the compliance of the permanent ... of the Operating Criteria of 1976. Do you <br /> have a problem with that, Mr. Pope? <br /> I Pope: No, I think actually with a very minor change after hearing all the discussion,that I <br /> at least would be willing to consider the resolution and I would have to defer to <br /> my other fellow members of the Administration before we could make a final <br /> Icommitment, but ... <br /> Trujillo: Would you put that on the table for purpose of discussion to see that that minor <br /> G:\ARCA\MEE1INGS\1999\SP61499A revl.wpd <br /> I14 editedDecember 13,2004;printed:December 13,2004 <br /> I <br />
