<br />3674 <br /> <br />MR. CORNELIUS: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />MR. GILDERSLEEVE: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER: <br /> <br />"No, I haven't seen Bud Sweet since that <br />correspondence." <br /> <br />"Mr. Gildersleeve, do we have a reconnais- <br />sance report On that Rio Grande salvage as yet?" <br /> <br />"No, we haven't received one yet." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"We are anticipating that we will get a <br />report in the very near future. As I recall, <br />that is now in Region 5, has been completed <br />and we are waiting for its release. Part of <br />the mOney that went into that study came from <br />this Board and part from the conservancy dis- <br />tricts concerned. I think this just went into <br />the Conejos, however. But it could fit in with <br />any overall program either on the San Antonio <br />or on the lower reaches of the Rio Grande. <br /> <br />It is very possible that putting all the <br />salvage and channelization together we could <br />perhaps come up with 40,000 or 50,000 acre-feet <br />of water annually. Again it is a question of <br />how the cost is to be borne. If we could get <br />some program essentially as New Mexico had On <br />the Middle Rio Grande with both state and <br />federal funds, perhaps we could attack it on <br />a purely salvage basis throughout the basin. <br />We will take this matter up with Region 5 immed- <br />iately to see if we can't carryon and broaden <br />the salvage reconnaissance study." <br /> <br />"Any further comment on this problem or <br />any other in Region 5?" <br /> <br />"Mr. Chairman." <br /> <br />II Fred. n <br /> <br />"Mr. Chairman, I note that they are giving <br />some consideration to modifying the Blanco and <br />Oso Diversion Dams for fishery purposes and <br />I'd like to comment that I think this is a very <br />worthwhile thing and Colorado can realize some <br />recreational benefits out of this and this <br />Board, I think, should encourage this in any <br />manner that is possible." <br /> <br />I <br />
