<br />Additional ChanQ'es Added bv Sunset/Sunrise Committee <br /> <br />During the sunset hearing, additional changes were made by the committee. In general, we support <br />the changes recommended by the report and have some concern about the other changes. The <br />proposed bill, if passed as introduced by the sunset committee, would: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />Continue the permitting of <br />weather modification <br />operations <br /> <br />We support continuation of the program, but we <br />believe it should be extended beyond year 2003 <br />which is in just 7 years. <br /> <br />Section 20, page 16, line 25 <br />Section 21, page 17, lines 9-12 <br />Section 22, page 17, lines 13-24 <br /> <br />The Colorado WM program is a small but important <br />tool in the development of Colorado's water <br />resources. <br /> <br />It is the only "new" source of water to the state. <br /> <br />We recommend that the pennitting program be <br />continued to provide oversite and guard against <br />potential adverse effects such as additional damages <br />from flooding, higher snow removal costs, <br />difficulty in feeding livestock, and burdens to <br />wildlife. <br /> <br />3 <br />
