<br />1 is that correct? "pilot proj ect. " <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />That's correct. 'I have been operating weather <br /> <br />A <br /> <br />3 modification operations in this area for the last four years <br /> <br />4 for the Bureau of Reclamation. The project is actually <br /> <br />S operated for five years, and the initial results and findings <br /> <br />6 from this program have led to the consideration of the selec- <br /> <br />1 tion of favorable storm events which will be utilized in the <br /> <br />8 design of this program in the San Luis Mountains. <br /> <br />9 Essentially, as I mentioned, once the favorable <br /> <br />10 storms have been selected, appropriate generators will be run <br /> <br />11 during that favorable storm period and shut down as that <br /> <br />12 storm period comes to an end. <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br />Q <br /> <br />will you seed every storm? <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br />A <br /> <br />No. As I mentioned earlier, some storms not <br /> <br />IS meeting these characteristics will not be seeded. In general <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />there have been, from preliminary results of the pilot Pro- <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />ject, a certain type of storm, generally with high wind <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />velocittes at mountaintop level, have been indicating a nega- <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br />tive seeding effect, or, therefore, decreases in precipita- <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />tion in the intended upwind Project Area and have been highly <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br />correlated with unintended slight increases in precipitation <br /> <br />\ <br />in downwind areas, this effect being somewhat named a down- <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br />23 <br /> <br />wind effect of the Pilot Project. <br /> <br />24 <br /> <br />These storms, since they are not contributing <br /> <br />2S <br /> <br />positively to increases in seeding in the project Area would <br /> <br />-16- <br />
