<br />MR. MC CANDLESS: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. KNIGHTS: <br /> <br />" Abou t three or four car s . " <br /> <br />"Now we will start the agenda of the meeting <br />and we'll ask for reports from the federal agen- <br />cies. I'd like to call on Region 7, Jim Knights." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"Mr. President, members of the Board and <br />ladies and gentlemen, I'll use the written report <br />which has already been furnished you as a guide <br />to the progress within Region 7 and the first <br />item is on the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. On <br />that project we have 71 employees total as of <br />June 1. Forty-seven of them are in the field <br />and twenty-four are in the Pueblo office. We <br />had an open hOuse at Pueblo to inaugurate their <br />new office down there a couple of weeks ago. <br />Some of you may have attended that. <br /> <br />They have started work on the contract re- <br />payment plan for the project there and opened <br />first contacts with the Southeastern Colorado <br />Water Conservancy District and outlined the work <br />on the general plan. No actual negotiations <br />have been undertaken yet but they have gotten <br />started on it. <br /> <br />On the location surveys on the damsite at <br />Ruedi they are continuing and on the relocations <br />of public utilities facilities through the reser- <br />voir area. We have completed the drilling on <br />the damsite itself. On the exploratory work as <br />to the capability of the reservoir site and the <br />damsite they have completed the 1,000 foot deep <br />hole in the last couple of days. We found <br />nothing unusual in it whatsoever. There are <br />two rigs continuing to gather geologic data by <br />drilling the damsite itself. That drilling is <br />quite routine, as we do on any damsite in gather- <br />ing the data from which we design the dam and <br />its appurtenant works. We plan to drill another <br />hole in the reservoir site, and this will be the <br />last one in the reservoir site itself, up in the <br />vicinity of Meredith and that will be a contract <br />job. That contract has not yet been awarded but <br />bids have been opened on'it. We expect to start <br />that drilling very shortly. <br /> <br />I <br />
