<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />37 <br /> <br />1 <br />2 <br />3 <br />4 <br /> <br />gent. The local people want a reservoir. They would prefer, <br /> <br />I think, the value of a tax base from that power plant, but <br /> <br /> <br />lacking that, they want to go with a water supply for Rangely; <br /> <br /> <br />that is, that improves the reliability. And they have said, <br /> <br />5 and our resolution says, the 14,000 acre-foot would be the <br /> <br /> <br />6 first phase of a project which would involve not only the <br /> <br /> <br />7 14,000 but also which would be maybe 55 or 60 thousand acre- <br /> <br /> <br />8 feet. But we have resolved on a two-phase Rangely Reservoir <br /> <br />9 with the second phase having to be paid in part by the sale of <br /> <br />10 water by the thermo power plant. <br /> <br />11 MR. GORMLEY: Does the segmenting of the project <br /> <br />12 have a chance of delaying our realization of what rights the <br /> <br />13 <br />14 <br />15 <br />16 <br /> <br />district has? Are you going to be way down the line to gettinc <br /> <br />anything else done? <br /> <br />MR. FISCHER: How do you mean? <br /> <br />MR. GORMLEY: Would it be better to build one plant <br /> <br />17 rather than the two is what I'm saying. <br /> <br />18 MR. FISCHER: I'm in a tough political situation. <br /> <br />19 The river district president is the president of the river <br /> <br />20 district subdistrict. As staff, I have always recommended <br /> <br />21 that, hydrologically, it is better to build one big one. The <br /> <br />22 cost of water per acre-foot would be less. But nevertheless, <br /> <br />23 as staff, I am going to follow the instructions of my board. <br /> <br />24 MR. GORMLEY: You may have the need for that-- <br /> <br />25 <br /> <br />MR. FISCHER: Sure, they've got a need for the 14,00( . <br />
