OK, I would change that from above the lower terminus of the proposed instream
flow right.

OK. Other questions? Questions from the public? Yes, T. Right.

Eric, refresh my memory on current depletions, and what would
that...(inaudible)...and current depletions in the basin, Eric, what is that proposed?

The current is about 110, I think its about 112, the additional 52 would take us up
to about 165, and then with the additional 72, we're up in the neighborhood of
235,000. Essentially, we're...

(Inaudible)

You've got to remember, there's also another increment, and this is very difficult,
there's what's called the current baseline, that they looked at, which allows for I
guess some additional development, but how that fits in...its roughly 235 to 250.
So what we're talking about in terms of people is, you know the additional 50
brought us to 130,000, so we're probably talking about half a million people in
rough numbers.

Get the curb and gutter man out to your place.

(very faint) This gives me something to work out later, but you may need to look
at what happens with the compact development ceiling is met before the first 52
is developed in the Yampa. If the compact takes over and we lose the
seasonability. You may want to adjust down....

In other words what you're saying is that if the compact reaches full development
before we reach the 52, we would potentially have the problem of not having the
right to protect the distribution of the hydrograph?

I don't understand. I don't understand the seasonality. What I understand about
that is if the compact cuts that off before the instream flow water right cuts it off,
you're cut off. Its called priority system, and not having to do with anything to
do with a 1995 water right. Now the shape of things at that point, I don't know,
except that it will be less than, it will be somehow subsumed inside the envelope,
of the 52,000 that we will now define. Its inside there somewhere.

(Indistinct) Do you hold with the compact thing...the only governing stoppage of
development is the compact says no timing on the state, you could take it all in
October, or something..

No. Ok. But this water right would still be there, this water right would have a
