DECISION AND-PERMIT-Page Three

2) The Colorado Weather Modification Advisory Committee bas indicated
that hail suppression operations conducted over Colorado to affect
Kansas could reduce potential precipitation in Colorado. Therefore,
penetration by cloud seeding aircraft into airspace over Colorado
is limited to a distance one half of the west to east component
of the miles per hour cloud motion. Cloud motion is determined
from tbe.centroid of the radar echo, for example, if a cloud is
moving toward the Kansas border at 10 miles an hour the penetration
allowed into Colorado is 5 miles west of the border, or if a cloud is
moving toward the Kansas border at 20 miles an hour the penetration
allowed into Colorado is 10 miles west of the border.

3). Th~. Applicant shall suspend seeding operations during storm periods
forecast to produce heavy precipitation amounts as set forth in his
application.

4) The Applicant shall submit monthly written reports to the Executive
Director throughout the period of the permit summarizing activities
and results. The report shall specifically note compliance with the
conditions of this permit and shall contain a special section noting

of the approval thereof as required in Paragraph one of these terms
and conditions.

area to advise the applicant and the Executive Director of weather
modification activities.
