<br />early as tate May and continuing until IuLe September, therefor~" the need tor the <br />operation of the cannon as Lo those particular crops willllc eliminated. The <br />operator estimates that the cannon may operate no grcater than 20 times during <br />the season and then apprnximately 60 minutes in any given operation, Thc <br />operatur will keep a log of datcs and dllfation of each operation ofthe cannon su <br />that more definitive infonnationway bc availahle, <br /> <br />SPECIFIC INTERROGATORIES ARE ANSWERED AS FOLLOWS: <br /> <br />1. The objcctives of the proposed project aIe to lessen or eliminate the OCCUlTence of <br />hail or ie_e _p~ar~icles on the opcra!or's~ I~l~~ ~j~lin the listed prot~ctedarcas, _ , <br /> <br />2, The description ofthc target areas is a portion of the following uescribed real estate <br />situate lying and being in the County of Saguache, State of Cu]oraunj <br /> <br />Sections 3, 10, 15, 16, l7and20 all in Township 41 NOlih" Range <br />') ENMPM arid Secliuns 25 and 36 in Township 41 North Range 7 <br />ENMMPM, <br /> <br />3. The project will be carried out hy the installation or hail cannons upon the forgoing <br />described rea] property. Said locations are as follows: <br /> <br />Sections 3,10,15,16,17 anu 20 all in Township 41 North Range 9 <br />ENMPM and Sections 25 and 36 in Township 41 North, Range 7 <br />ENMPM and the North East Quarler or Section 25 Township 41 N <br />Range 7 TINMPM, <br /> <br />The hail cannons will cover a circle with a radius or 500 meters. Thc circlc will <br />bec.ume elliptical and elongated by prcvailing winds, The distC'lltiol1s will be <br />dependent upon tbe velocity of the prevailing wind. Generally prevailing wind <br />current~ crossing thc divide will he from the West or from the NorUlwest and would <br />present an ellipsc elongated to the downwind side anu shurlened on the upwind side <br />of the defined area expected to be protected, The hail cannon is controllcd by a <br />CompLl[er sequencing the time interval bet ween lhe sound discharges. Thc working <br />portion of the hail cannon is a cylindrical shupeu pot bellied upright charuber, <br />uischarging the energy and from the Lop perpendicular to the surface anu in a conical <br /> <br />fonn, The purpose is to direct sound wavcs in an upward direetiol1 to penetrate the <br />ice particlc producing area of the cloud and to inlribitthe formation of hailstones, <br />
