<br />MR. CORNELIUS: <br /> <br />"Another question. On the Bijou you <br />have three dam sites that you thought <br />might be feasible and you mentioned the <br />dual purpose there of recharging ground- <br />water aquifers with flood control water <br />but I didn't hear your conclusions on it. <br />What's the status?" <br /> <br />MR. VELEl1lRAD5KY: <br /> <br />"We have not reached a conclusion one <br />way or the other at the present time, <br />What we are thinking about right now is <br />incidental groundwater recharge in that <br />after a flood we usually draw a dam down <br />or a reservoir down within a certain <br />period of time. During this time if re- <br />leases Were controlled there may be a <br />possibility of recha~ng an aquifer down- <br />stream. 50 the groundwater recharge would <br />be an incidental of the releases for flood <br />control." <br /> <br />MR. CORNELIUS I <br /> <br />"Isn't this a possible source of in- <br />creased cost benefits?" <br /> <br />MR. VELEIiMDSKY~ <br /> <br />"It may be a source of increased <br />benefits depending on what method would <br />be used to recharge aquifers to determine <br />what the increased costs would be." <br /> <br />MR. XROEGER: <br /> <br />"I'd like to see you give a lot more <br />consideration, I think, to recreational <br />values in these plans." <br /> <br />MR. VELEHRADSKY: <br /> <br />"The Castlewood Dam and Reservoir <br />includes recreational development. The <br />Sand and Toll Gate Creeks would include <br />recreation development. We have received <br />a letter of intent from the Department of <br />Natural Resources for the Castlewood Dam <br />and Reservoir and we have received a <br />letter of intent for the Sand and Toll <br />Gate Creeks Reservoirs from the city of <br />Aurora to develop recreational faciiities. <br /> <br />Now because of the low water years in <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />
