<br />4326 <br /> <br />HR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />REP. HOOLF: <br /> <br />HR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />HR. GOODWIN: <br /> <br />Development of this type of structures on the <br />upper reaches of some of these drainages <br />seems to be more possible and feasible than <br />to attempt construction to control an overall <br />drainage. This is definitely a possibility <br />that should be looked into in some of these <br />more remote areas." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"I see Representative Harvin 1'10olfe from <br />Boulder here. I guess you are the only mem- <br />ber I can see from the Legislature here. <br />Harvin, nice to have you here. Do you have <br />any comments from a legislative point of <br />view or the City of Boulder that you would <br />like to express?" <br /> <br />"I'm happy to be here, Hr. Chairman. <br />am here only as an observer and listener <br />have no comments." <br /> <br />I <br />and <br /> <br />"Are there any comments that any members <br />of the Board have about these agenda items <br />before we ask if there are any questions from <br />members of the audience? !.Jr. Goodwin." <br /> <br />"11r. Chairman, I think \'le are all in <br />sympathy 1tlith the loss in the South Platte <br />Valley, particularly the City of Denver, <br />and then the lower towns d01tffi the Arkansas <br />River have suffered. I think it's a little <br />bit like trying to get the barn door shut <br />after the horse is gone. We have advocated, <br />or at least I have, in our water agency that <br />preceded the Hater Congress, flood control <br />in small reservoir sites on the streams <br />higher up. Nobody ever took much interest <br />in it; even our Governor kind of shoved us <br />around, he didn't think much of it. <br /> <br />I think this, I think the time has come I <br />that Colorado people should make themselves <br />heard. They should ask our national Congress <br />to do something about this. I think we sit <br />here and probably we have danger areas on the <br />western slope, maybe from a weather pattern <br />standpoint, not quite as bad as you have on <br />
