<br />~J~~ <br /> <br />operating agreements with the Compact Admin- <br />istration, water users, and within the proj- <br />ect itself. This report is being put in <br />final form and we hope that we will be able <br />to release it by the end of this month. The <br />Corps of Engineers, as far as I know, have no\: <br />changed their schedule for completion of <br />their engineering surveys. They have their <br />cost estimate. They are scheduled for comple- <br />tion in December on which we will get together <br />with them and arrive at an allocation of costs <br />between irrigation, fish and wildlife and <br />flood control, and recreation. As soon as <br />that is available we will be able to complete <br />our financial studies and report on the neces- <br />sary repayment for that project. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Sparks has covered <br />Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. <br />nothing I can add there. <br /> <br />very well the <br />I think there <br /> <br />is <br /> <br />On the Narrows, while we are waiting <br />decision on funds and on the appointment of <br />a steering committee to furnish us some direc- <br />tion, we are going ahead with the collection <br />of basic data. We have as an objective, not <br />only reviewing the historic water supply and <br />operation of the valley, but we are trying to <br />project those into the future in light of <br />conditions which have developed in recent <br />years. One of those being a serious condi- <br />tion - the matter of ground water pumping. <br />As I say, we are going ahead as rapidly as <br />we can, collecting basic data on that. It's <br />going to be quite a job to determine the <br />amount of water which has been pumped and the <br />number of pumps which have been placed in <br />operation in recent years. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />We are completing reconnaissance esti- <br />mates on the revision of the Narrows site to <br />meet present conditions; an estimate for a <br />dam at the Weld County site; and for the <br />flood impoundment on Bijou Creek. Those are <br />nearing completion. We still have some right- <br />of-way problems, right-of-way estimates, to <br />determine for the Narrows Reservoir site in <br />
