<br />Lost Solar Creek comes out from the right, or to the north, as you look <br />down. There is private land in the junction of South Fork and Lost <br />Solar. There are'cabins that are built in there, the land has been sub- <br />divided, but no one has come to us to request road access. But they can <br />get in there on foot or horseback. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Then there is another piece of private land downstream. I doubt if you <br />can pick up the arrow along in here. There is a gap of national forest <br />land and then there is a long piece of private land. This is the gen- <br />eral area for the other reservoirs and for pumped storage facilities <br />shown on the map that I had on the screen earlier. <br /> <br />(slide) Here is a view again looking upstream to the east. There is <br />Lost Solar coming right there. You can see one of the cabins with a <br />tiny metal roof on it. Here again, it is on private land. And one of <br />the damsites would be about in here, here where the canyon pinches in <br />slightly. <br /> <br />(slide) Here is a view looking into Lost Solar Creek, north-northwest. <br />The South Fork runs on down this way to the left.

Here again, Lost Solar <br />was to have been tapped by diversion structures in the Rocky Mountain <br />Power Company project. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Thank you very much. I think at this point we will <br />address ourselves to any questions you might have at this point to Mr. <br />Hauk. Are there any questions about the slides or any questions that <br />he can answer at this time for you? <br /> <br />Mr. Geissinqer: Mr. Hauk, what is the total area of the White River <br />National Forest? <br /> <br />Mr. Hauk: It is approximately two million acres. This was just before <br />the first of March and administratively effective July 1st we took on <br />all of Summit County which added another 300,000 acres. So we are <br />getting close to two and a half million acres on the White River National <br />Forest. All we needed were, the problems in Summit County and a few more <br />ski areas. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />11r. Moses: What is the distinction between a primitive area and a <br />wilderness area? <br /> <br />Mr. Hauk: Actually, there is none. It is just a matter of classifi- <br />cation. Under the old regulations, the Land U regulations that desig- <br />nated the primitive area with the same type of management and at that <br /> <br />-27- <br />
