<br />in the southwestern part of the state? <br /> <br />Mr. Hampton: I didn't say they don't register them. The wells that <br />have been drilled most recently seem mostly to be registered. If it <br />looks like it is new, it is not encrusted with rust and filled up <br />with black widow spiders in the well house, et cetra, chances are I <br />that it has been registered. I do have a registration form that was <br />filed with Mr. Kuiper. But I might walk out of the well house door <br />and see well houses on fifty different places nearby - you can see <br />that far in some of that area. There is no scrap of record on most <br />of them, but they are old ones. <br /> <br />Mr. Vandemoer: Of course, Ben, the South Platte doesn't register <br />these small wells either. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: I guess they don't. <br /> <br />Mr. Kroeqer: Ben, it isn't that we really want to be backward down <br />there, but this church hollow well he mentions where they haul the <br />water so far, someone asked why he hauled the water six miles to his <br />place. He says, "It's the closest water I have got. It is cheaper <br />and quicker than drilling." <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: We appreciate your report. We are going to break then <br />now for lunch. We have reservations for twenty people over at the <br />Profile Room, which will include the board. We'll be back at 1:15. <br /> <br />The meeting recessed at ll:55 a.m. for lunch, reconvening at 1:20 p.m. <br />with Chairman Stapleton presiding. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: We will call the meeting to order again, please. The <br />next item on the agenda is item No. 4 - proposed policy for state <br />financial assistance in flood plains and flood control projects. <br />Larry. <br /> <br />Mr. Sparks: I have sent to the board a memorandum on this subject. <br />There are two principal methods now used to prevent or abate flood <br />damages. One is the adoption of legal restrictions concerning the <br />use of land and the other is the construction of dams and protective <br />works to prevent flood damages. This is a subject in which the Colo- <br />rado General Assembly has expressed considerable interest. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />As the board will recall, several years ago the legislature authorized <br />the creation of the Urban Flood Control and Drainage District here <br />in the metropolitan area, which has been quite active. <br /> <br />-26- <br />
