<br />1 approximately the same seeding rates.as that used again in <br />I <br />I <br />2 the Pilot project, so that will be essentially the materials <br /> <br />3 utilized for seeding. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Now, Mr. Hjermstad, do you have an opinion as to <br /> <br />Q <br /> <br />5 whether or not the proposed project that you have outlined <br /> <br />8 here is scientifically and technically feasible? <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />A <br /> <br />Yes, I do. I feel that the results of what we <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />have learned from the Colorado River Basin pilot Project and <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />previous results incorporated into the initial design of that <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />program, which were derived from a weather modification pro- <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />gram at Climax, Colorado, have been born.out-as far as their <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br />concepts; and these conditions will again be repeated in the <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br />Project Area leading to definable, favorable storm events <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br />that do have a favorable modification potential. <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br />Q <br /> <br />And assuming that the success of our project and <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />one thing and another, then what would be the results for the <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />Project Area or the San Luis Valley as a whole? <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />A <br /> <br />Essentially, the intent is to increase the snow- <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br />pack in the Project Area to increase the spring run-off and <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />water available for agricultural and industrial and general <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br />use in this portion of the san Luis Valley fed by the Rio <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br />Grande, conejos and Alamosa Rivers. <br /> <br />23 <br /> <br />Q <br /> <br />Do you have an opinion, Mr. Hjermstad, with <br /> <br />24 <br /> <br />regard to the project as to whether or not it is designed for <br /> <br />25 <br /> <br />and offers any promise of expanding knowledge of technology <br /> <br />-l9- <br />
