<br />690 <br /> <br />MR. CRAWFORD: <br /> <br />interested parties on the Western Slope <br />should be notified and they will be <br />notified the next time the gauging sta- <br />tions program is to be considered." <br /> <br />"I am sure the Bureau of Reclama- <br />tion and the U. S. G. S. would be <br />pleased to have the local people who <br />are interested come to these meetings <br />and be consulted as to installations and <br />.needs." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Dean Crawford continued by discussing criteria nec- <br />essary for the consideration of the projects. and stated that <br />the reconnaissance report previously mentioned merely pre- <br />sented evidence to indicate whether further study should be <br />made; that from this report they could determine what list of <br />projects should be considered; and that after discussion and <br />consideration by local interests, the Board could determine <br />what priorities should be given. <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: <br /> <br />MR. JERMAN: <br /> <br />MR. CRAWFORD: <br /> <br />"I feel' that because some people come <br />to th~ local boards. some to the Water <br />Boards and some to the Bureau, a coordi- <br />nation effort should be made." <br /> <br />"I should say that it is necessary <br />for the Bureau to have advance notice <br />and considerable time so they may plan <br />their time and work to best advantage." <br /> <br />"The staff has been able to complete <br />certain water studies but now it is nec- <br />essary for the Board to make some studies <br />independently in addition to reviewing <br />studies made by the Bureau of Reclamation. <br />In this connection, I would 'like to obtain <br />an engineer for the summer to make a study <br />of water supply conditions on the San Juan <br />River. It might be possible to have this <br />done through cooperation by the Civil Ser- <br />vice Commission; also it might be necessary <br />to have the appointment made on a contrac- <br />tual basis. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I would like authority from the Board <br />to expend about $3,000 from the $77.000 <br />appropriation for a four months' water <br />study on the San Juan River." . <br /> <br />A discussion ensued as to the information that <br />could be obtained from such a study. Dean Crawford explained <br />
