<br />3. <br /> <br />1 on that, these provisions of the statute govern this kind <br /> <br />20f hearing; not onlybefor~the ~epartment of Natural <br /> <br />3 Resources, but other state departments. <br /> <br />4 So it is that we will follow those rules and <br /> <br />5 regulations, and the conduct of the hearing. They are not <br /> <br />6 terribly structured, and insofar as we can, we'll conduct <br /> <br />7 the hearing in a rather free and open way. <br /> <br />8 The Applicant will have the opportunity to present <br /> <br />9 its evidence first, and then anyone who wishes to cross- <br /> <br />10 examine the Applicant or anything that is present upon <br /> <br />11 the Application will have a right to do so. <br /> <br />12 The purpose being that the public have the <br /> <br />13 opportunity to participate as fully as possible. <br /> <br />14 I would ask you, for the purposes of our record, <br /> <br />15 and so it will be easy on our Reporter that, as you proceed, <br /> <br />16 if there be someone in th~audience who wishes to ask any <br /> <br />17 questions, that they identify themselves first so that <br /> <br />18 Mrs. Claar can note your name as she records the proceedings. <br /> <br />19 With those few preliminaries, I would indicate <br /> <br />20 that the hearing that we have this afternoon is in the <br /> <br />21 matter of the Application of Water Resources Development <br /> <br />22 Corporation on behalf of Grand Mesa Water Users Association. <br /> <br />23 And, at this time, I will recognize the attorney <br /> <br />24 for the--I guess it's going to be the Association--Mr. <br /> <br />25 Willett. <br /> <br />SUZANNE M.
