Mr. Hall then described a neW form of support for states and

emphasized the potential significance for Colorado. He sighted the

Poudre situation as an example for a local and state effort could

be mounted to look at problems and needs with support from the

service. He suggested that the time for Federally funded projects

is over and that new oooperative activities should be identified

and pursued. He called for new levels of cooperation and careful

local and state identification of options almng with a clear iden-

tification of particular role that the Federal government can play

in meeting such local and state means.

Mr. Vandemoer asked for clarification of the Plant River study

in its relationship to the narrows project. Mr. Hall responded

that the narrows has been sufficiently suudied, that it should now

be viewed in oonjunction with other alternatives. Therefore the

South Platte study will emphasize other means for water development

in management. Mr. McDonald reported that the contractor for the

study had not been selected but the process is proceeding. He

described a new procedure for contracting services which had delayed

the

process. '\"'~~

Mr. Frehoff, Secretary

and Manager of the Lower South Platte

Water Conservancy District then inquired further about the South

Platte study and the narrows aspect. He stated his understanding

that the emphasis was to be on alternatives in the narrows area

for the same beneficiaries. Mr. Hall emphasized that the question

to be investigated is what else could be done. The anticipated re-

sult is the basis for evaluating alternatives in relationship to

the narrows project.
