The intent of the Valley <br /> <br />Growers, Incorporated was to hopefully assure themselves of <br /> <br />adequate water, especially during below normal and near norma <br /> <br />winter seasons. <br /> <br />Consequently, it was proposed that an upper <br /> <br />limit to the snowpack be set at 125 per cent of normal; and <br /> <br />this would be derived from taking monthly soil conservation, <br /> <br />core snow measurements, one in each of the three drainage <br /> <br />basins, and averaging those so that the average snowpack <br /> <br />across the project Area then would be approximately l25 per <br /> <br />cent, or exactly 125 per cent. <br /> <br />When that value has been reached, seeding opera- <br /> <br />tions will be suspended and not resumed until the conditions <br /> <br />again are verified that they are below l25 per cent. <br /> <br />Q Mr. Hjermstad, let me interrupt you right there. <br /> <br />/ <br /> <br />ification <br /> <br />do you have any knowledge with regard to what <br /> <br />the natural, normal snowpack variations are in the San Juan <br /> <br />-23- <br />
