<br />reflect estimates of additional seeding hours, fmal costs would reflect actual seeding <br />hours and seeding rate. These costs do not include randomization or evaluation <br />components, which are recommended to be added to these ongoing programs. Expanding <br />the programs by adding generators would be an additional cost. <br /> <br />Potential New Project Areas <br /> <br />The suggested criteria for selecting new sites is that used by CREST (DOl, 1993). In <br />summary, the mountain ranges examined should have: significant areas above 9,000 feet; <br />a location at least partially within the Colorado River Basin; a limited area with a <br />wilderness land use designation; at least a 20 kilometer west-to-east dimension, and some <br />mountains with parallel north-south ridges separated by a valley. Although there are sites <br />that met these criteria in Wyoming and Arizona, this paper focuses on mountains in <br />Colorado and Utah. <br /> <br />. Areas identified in the CREST for further consideration for WxMod evaluation and <br />recommended to be considered for operations here: <br /> <br />Colorado: <br /> <br />Elkhead Mountains north of Hayden <br />Park Range east of Steamboat Springs <br />Park Range (south end) northwest ofKremmling <br />Elk MountainslParkview Mountains north of Parshall <br />Front Range east of Dillon <br />Red Table Mountain south of Eagle <br />White River Plateau (south end) north of Glen wood Springs <br />Grand Mesa east of Grand Junction <br />Sawatch Range east of Crested Butte <br />Monarch Pass area east of Gunnison <br />Cochetopa Hills southeast of Gunnison <br />Cimarron Ridge area southeast of Montrose <br />Uncompahgre Plateau west of Montrose <br />Central San Juans around Silverton <br />Southwestern San Juans northwest of Durango <br /> <br />Utah: <br /> <br />Boulder Mountain north of Escalante <br />Wasatch Plateau east ofMt.
