The County issued a request <br />for proposals on September 24th and NA WC submitted a proposal on October 3'd for a <br />feasibility/design study plus the conduct and evaluation of a program. NA WC was awarded a <br />contract on November 5th to design, conduct and evaluate a program for all the higher elevation <br />areas of Gunnison County_ <br /> <br />A cloud seeding permit was obtained from the State of Colorado following submission of <br />an application, publication of intent and the conduct of a public hearing in December 2002. A <br />network of cloud seeding generators was established and seeding operations were conducted <br />during the two and one-half month period of February 1 through April 15, 2003. The following <br />sections describe this project in more detail. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />. <br />. <br />
