I I MR. STAPLETON: of about 3,200 acre-feet and the discharge on that particular day was l,061 feet. Flaming Gorge is in such a position that they can dis- charge at any time at capacity of 4,500 second feet. We had a construction problem at Navajo Reservoir. The inlet tunnel to the Navajo Indian Irrigation project will require that water to be retained or not to exceed eleva- tion 5,955 feet. So we will have to limit the content of that reservoir. As I under- stand it, the construction contract has been awarded and the contractor is ready to move on the job to start work on that tunnel. Moving on to General Investigations, I think we have included in here the last action' pertaining to all of our investigations on the western slope of Colorado. I think the San Miguel Project and Dallas Divide Project are slightly behind schedule. We have in our offices now, I think, pre~ared all of the appendices except the designs and estimates and the final economic analysis. We have run into a few changes that we have to make. They are changing a few of our estimates but we will push those through to completion. On the Yellow Jacket Project, Battlement Mesa Project, Bluestone Project, and Grand Mesa Project, these are all on schedule. with reference to the Small Reclamation Project that we have with the Orchard City Irrigation District near Austin, Colorado, the plans for this project have been reviewed and with, a few changes a good part of those plans and specifications have been approved and we expect that they will be going into construc- tion very shortly. I believe that's all, Mr: Chairman, unless there are questions." "Thank you, Bob. Any questions from mem- bers of the Board?"
