We believe the above measures will allow CSU to monitor the

environmental and public response to the seeding project and to

take appropriate actions for minimizing any associated risks.

4. Atmospheric SamplinR

Since the primary objectives of this cloud seeding project are to

document and define the effect that seeding has on the physical

processes which occur in winter orographic clouds, an extensive

~ling, and monitoring network~planned. This will be one of

the more extensive sampling efforts undertaken in connection with

cloud seeding.

In direct conjunction with the seeding proposed in this

application, the Atmospheric Science Department of CSU will operate

approximately 10 remote wind, temperature and precipitation stations,

a rawinsonde station, a Ku-band radar station, a microwave radiometer,

a lidar, and a fully instrumented cloud physics monitoring aircraft (see

Attachment II). Intensive satellite observations will be received

and analyzed. Results of their research observations and analysis

program will be published in technical reports prepared for the

sponsoring government agencies.

5. Reports
CSU will submit all required reports to the appropriate agencies

and will maintain copies of same and records of all seeding logs on

file at the Department of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State

University, Fort Collins, Colorado. The reports required and the

recipients of the proposed project are:
