<br />early as late May and continuing until late September, therefore, the need for the <br />operation of the cannon as to those particular crops will be eliminated. The <br />operator estimates that the cannon may operate no greater than 20 times during <br />the season and then approximately 60 minutes in any given operation. The <br />operator will keep a log of dates and duration of each operation of the cannon so <br />that more definitive information may be available, <br /> <br />SPECIFIC INTERROGATORIES ARE ANSWERED AS FOLLOWS: <br /> <br />1. The objectives of the proposed project are to lessen or eliminate the occurrence of <br />- - - -natl-o'[-i<:epartlc1en>Ifth:e-operatorsiand:rwithin the-lIsteu-protecwd-areas:- - --- ----- --- - . - -. <br /> <br />2, The description of the target areas is a portion of the following described real estate <br />situate lying and being in the County of Saguache, State of Colorado; <br /> <br />Sections 3,10, 15, 16, 17 and 20 all in Township 41 North" Range <br />9 ENMPM and Sections 25 and 36 in Township 41 North Range 7 <br />ENMMPM. <br /> <br />3. The project will be carried out by the installation of hail cannons upon the forgoing <br />described real property. Said locations are as follows: <br /> <br />Sections 3,10,15,16,17 and 20 all in Township 41 North Range 9 <br />ENMPM and Sections 25 and 36 in Township 41 North, Range 7 <br />ENMPM and the North East Quarter of Section 25 Township 41 N <br />Range 7 ENMPM. <br /> <br />The hail cannons will cover a circle with a radius of 500 meters, The circle will <br />become elliptical and elongated by prevailing winds. The distortions will be <br />dependent upon the velocity of the prevailing wind, Generally prevailing wind <br />currents crossing the divide will be from the West or from the Northwest and would <br />present an ellipse elongated to the downwind side and shortened on the upwind side <br />of the defined area expected to be protected. The hail cannon is controlled by a <br />computer sequencing the time interval between the sound discharges, The working <br />portion of the hail cannon is a cylindrical shaped pot bellied upright chamber, <br />discharging the energy and from the top perpendicular to the surface and in a conical <br /> <br />form, The purpose is to direct sound waves in an upward direction to penetrate the <br />ice particle producing area of the cloud and to inhibit the formation of hailstones, <br />
