<br />306 <br /> <br />Mr. Bailey: "It seems to me that there should be some way to get <br />together and compare these figures with the Bureau's". <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson: "I would be glad to work with them on these figures". <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Bailey: "Is that agreeable with the Bureau to get together with <br />Mr. Peterson and his group?'" <br /> <br />Mr. Roberts: "May I ask, Mr. Peterson, what would be the approximate <br />cost of an engineering survey on this problem of Curecanti, one which <br />would be based upon actual knowledge of the geology of the tunnel <br />rather than the use of highly approximate figures." <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson: "I can't answer that question. Perhaps some of the <br />engineers can". <br /> <br />Mr. Roberts: "Could we have a survey of the cost of any of these <br />designs, and study it with a hope for a reconciliation of figures?" <br /> <br />Mr. Larson: "It would not cost very much. If you are going to make <br />surveys of the big dam sites, of course, .that is a big investiga.tion". <br /> <br />Mr. Riter: "You could get a dependable esti:mate". <br /> <br />Mr. Roberts: "That could be estllblished to study the survey." <br /> <br />Mr. Riter: "I have in mind that we would want to study the possibility <br />of that dam site. How is the beet way to develop the head?" <br /> <br />Mr. Tipton: "Even if you add 15 million dollars on the tunnel and the <br />rest of the figures are firm, you would still corne out favorably. <Xle <br />thing we are going to be up agaiIlSt with the Bureau of the Budget is <br />the money involved. What we are attempting to do is to determine <br />whether or not we can get the Curecanti in the storage picture, .stand- <br />ing on its Ol'm two feet. If there is a possibility of making this <br />stand on its own feet, by spending two or three thousand dollars on <br />. surveying it, I think it should be done. I want to study this and I <br />don't think the study should be confined to Mr. Peterson and the Ad- <br />visory Board. We have a deadline of January 15th." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Jex: "Knowing a little about the past history of the area, also <br />having had a chance to sit in with Mr. Riter and Mr. Gildersleeve in <br />the studies conducted a week ago, I came up with the thought that the <br />Curecanti darn site could be used. I believe with that information and <br />Inth other information available, it is possible to analyze the vari- <br />ous computations relatively connected and I think it would be very <br />beneficial to this Board and to the entire state. A very good picture <br />could be secured of the feasibility of the project." <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson: "I am wonderin&__if the committee would be interested in <br />hearing from some of the men \n'!ff~ who have been directly damaged from <br />flood waters from the Gunnison River many times. Perhaps it would be <br />well for a short statement from some of these men on their personal <br />damages. " <br />
