<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />.J..::;:l'-:tv <br /> <br />feet. We think that quite adequate for <br />the preservation of fish life when it is <br />considered that there is a constant inflow <br />to the reservoir. Oxygen is coming in con- <br />stantly. Always there is an inflow into <br />the reservoir. If you put another 10,000 <br />feet of water in there for a total of <br />20,000 you only increase the depth by six <br />feet. We think that's an insignificant <br />contribution for perhaps an expenditure of <br />a million or two million dollars. <br /> <br />Based upon these factors, it was the <br />consideration of our staff that if a perma- <br />nent pool were to be established, 10,000 <br />acre-feet would be sufficient. We have <br />concluded that 10/000 acre-feet in any <br />event would be very difficult to purchase <br />for any reasonable figure, and that 20,000 <br />acre-feet would be almost impossible to <br />purchase and thereafter maintain at a cost <br />of less than three or four million dollars. <br />That is the basis for our decision to stick <br />with a 10/000 acre-foot pool, and we have <br />not been able to come up with any facts which <br />in any way have altered our opinion. <br /> <br />I think, Mi. Chairman, that is all I <br />have to say." <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: <br /> <br />"Thank you, Mr. Sparks. Would Mr. <br />Baker of the Game and Fish Commission have <br />something to say at this time? Would you <br />speak into one of the microphones please, <br />sir?" <br /> <br />MR . BAKER : <br /> <br />"I don't have too much to say, gentle- <br />ment, because I'm not too familiar with the <br />sUbject. We have had so many pros and cons <br />on this. From Mr. Sparks' state~ent there, <br />do I understand that this 10,000 feet will <br />be on top of the silt regardless if it keeps <br />coming up ?" <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />"Yes. Because the permanent pool is an <br />invasion of the flood pool." <br /> <br />MR. BAKER: <br /> <br />"That looks very feasible to me. How- <br />ever I I lwould like to turn this over to Mr. <br />Eckles. He lives down there and he is very <br />familiar with this situation and I would <br />
