reservoir at all and inactive could be re-
leased but it will not he. It will be left
in there to act as a permanent pool."

"Any other questions from members of the
Board?"

I

"I '.d like to ask a question."

"All right. go ahead."

"We hear a lot about water pOllution con-
trol and so forth nOW. I don't know whether
it is principally for the benefit of the
politicians or not, but anyway I am wondering
if there is any change in the Bureau's think-
ing as to how much water you are going to have
to leave in these streams. In other words.
how much water can you tap out of the head-
waters of these streams and still not contri-
bute to the so-called pollution below? Mr.
Ingles, is there any Change in your thinking
On the Narrows in the light of this new
envirorunental program?"

"Of CC:lU:tSe we are looking to all of the
environmental aspects very closely. How-
ever, we still operate with the same theory
that the use of the water has to show a
favorable benefit. So, even though we work
with the Federal Water Pollution Control
Board very closely this is taken into COn-
sideration in everyone of our studies alOftg
with the recommendation of fiSh and wildlife
people. Included in these benefits are bene-
fits that might be derived by the FiSh and
Wildlife Service from releases for their
purposes."

I

"Would any members of our audience like
to inquire as to the activities of Region 71

I'd then like Larry to give his appraisal
of the fact that all the conflicts have been
now resolved. have they?"
