<br />Mr. Ten Evck: They will provide the water for it? <br /> <br />~~. Sparks: Yes. <br /> <br />~~. Geissinqer: Larry, just one other question. To be increased to I <br />a capacity of 13,560 at an estimated cost of $1,225,000, the power <br />companies are going to pay half the construction costs, will Fish and <br />Game pick up the other half? <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: That is the question I raised. <br /> <br />Mr. Ford: Larry, we have Mr. Bob Bryant back here, from Colorado-Ute. <br />He might be able to shed some light . <br /> <br />~~. Stapleton: Mr. Bryant, would you take a microphone and identify <br />yourself for the record, please. <br /> <br />~Ir. Brvant: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, I am Bob Bryant, Generation <br />Superintendent for Colorado-Ute Electric Association in Montrose, and <br />I represent the four power companies listed by Mr. Sparks. I am the <br />chairman of the power companies' environmental task force. <br /> <br />The cost that was presented to you did not include costs that have <br />been given to us from the Game and Fish, the Wildlife Division, as <br />representing their present-day land acquistion costs and engineering <br />costs. The numbers that the Wildlife Commission is using today are <br />$626.000 for the base project, $970,000 for the middle-size project <br />and $1,225,000 for the larger-size project. That's the 13,560 acre- <br />feet of storage. We proposed at the Wildlife Commission's last <br />meeting that we construct, if feasibility could be determined, the <br />larger-size reservoir and we offered to share the costs of that res- <br />ervoir on a SO/50 basis. It actually results in the Wildlife Commis- <br />sion saving a little money, about $13,500. Their costs on a SO/50 <br />proposition on a larger-size reservoir dropped from $626,000 to <br />$612,500. It actually represents a savings to them. <br /> <br />I would be happy to answer any questions that you have about the work <br />that we have done on the reservoir, the studies that we have done, <br />the environmental work that has been conducted by our consultants at <br />Fort Collins, if you like. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Geissinqer: Let me ask you this question. Who is going to have <br />the decreed water rights to the 13,560, who is going to be the owner <br />of that? <br /> <br />-33- <br />
