<br />Operational PIan: <br />1. A Description of the Objectives of the Proposed Project. <br />The nature of the proposed program is to augment natural precipitation <br />within the project area to provide improved snowpacks and additional <br />water supplied for storage and beneficial use. The operational <br />technology and procedures utilized in this program were derived <br />from previous snowpack augmentation programs operated in Colorado, <br />specifically: The Climax and Wolf Creek research programs, the <br />Colorado River Basin.Pilot Project and the last 22 winters' programs <br /> <br />operated by WESTERN WEATHER CONSULTANTS <br /> <br /> <br />and San Juan Mountains. <br /> <br />The objectives of the project are to increase snowpacks in the <br /> <br />in the Central Colorado <br /> <br />drainage basins of all major mountain massifs in the project area <br />which should result in increased run-off into the storage systems in <br />these basins and result in an additional water supply for agricultural. <br />industrial or domestic use along with an additional snowpack for <br />winter recreational use. <br /> <br />2.
