<br />6. Factora indicating that the project is acientifically and technically feasible <br />(applicable only to commercial projects): <br /> <br />The operational procedurea implimented for this proj~ct were basicly derived <br /> <br />from the operations and research results of two long-term Colorado-based <br /> <br /> <br />winter weather modification research programs. One project waa 'located near <br /> <br /> <br />Climax, Colorado, which indicated the seedabllity of,orograpbic-type winter <br /> <br /> <br />cloud syatema. Concluaiona and a summary of research results are attached <br /> <br /> <br />to tbis page to substantiate the anticipated augmentation potential from <br /> <br />orographic cloud systems. Significant facts of the results have been under- <br /> <br /> <br />scored. <br /> <br />The otber Colorado research program was located in tbe San Juan,Mountains. <br />Research results from the evaluation report are also attached to this page <br />to substantiate that similar cloud systems in the San Juan Mountains respond <br />to cloud seeding with about the same augmentation potential astbe Central <br />Colorado orographic cloud systems. <br /> <br />All of these research results and an independent evaluation of tbe San Juan <br />project by Mr. L.M. Hjermstad of Western Weather Consultants 'I ' indicate <br />.....-. ..,: <br />that the anticipated seasonal precipitation augmentation potential derived <br />by these research efforts ranges between 15 and 25 per cent for thia type of, <br />a winter weather modification project. <br />
