<br />8. OreT~tj0nal Plan: <br /> <br />a. Stat~~cnt of the nature and objectives of proposed project. <br /> <br />The nature of the proposed program is to augment natural precip- <br />itation ':'ithin the project area to provide improved sno"'packs and <br />additional wate* supplies for storage or beneficial use. The opera-. <br />tiona 1 t echnology and procedures util ized in thi s program ,,'ere <br />derived from previous snowpack augmentation progr3IDs operated in <br />Colorado, specifical1y: the Climax and Wolf Creek research programs, <br />the Colorado River Basin Pilot Pl'oject and the last five winter's <br />programs operated by Western "eather Consultants. Inc. in the Central <br />Colorado and Southeastern San Juan Mountains. <br /> <br />The objectives of the project are to increase snowpacks in the <br />. drainage basins of all major mountain massifs in the project area <br />which should result in increased run-off into the storage systems in <br />these basins and result in an additional water supply for agricu1tural, <br />industrial or domestic use along with an additional sno"~ack for wiriter <br />recreational use. <br /> <br />b. }lap of the ..E!9posed operating area specifying the primary target <br /> <br /> <br />area and the area reasonaelY. ex~ected to be affected. <br /> <br />A map of Colorado showing the primary project area is attached. <br />Also, indicated by the hatched area are the project area counties <br />and enclosed in the single black line are the'counties adjacent to <br />the project area counties which could reasonably be expected to be <br />affected by the project. <br /> <br />c.
