<br />COL. PENDERGRASS: <br /> <br />MR. GOODWIN: <br /> <br />COL. PENDERGRASS: <br /> <br />MR. GOODWXN, <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />wondering if this is a so-called stopgap <br />deal rather than a complete program that <br />should be instituted there." <br /> <br />"This is a pure question of economics. <br />The diamond shaped ones, the value of the <br />property they would protect, which is <br />essentially the property between them and <br />our first green unit downstream, the damages <br />prevented along those reaches just aren't <br />as high as the cost of the structures. It <br />costs more than you think." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"Yes, but what about your sediment <br />problems? It seems to me it would greatly <br />help you in your sediment prOblems if you <br />built those." <br /> <br />"That's true but it won't help us to the <br />extent that the dams would cost. I mean, <br />we are talking so much money there and we <br />have allowed plenty of space in the larger <br />reservoirs. It's a whole lot cheaper to <br />allow the space in those downstream reser- <br />voirs than it is to build a reservoir up- <br />stream. <br /> <br />I'll assure you that if we could have <br />shown they were worth the money they would <br />be in the report but under the rules we have <br />to plan by, they did not." <br /> <br />"Thank you." <br /> <br />"Perhaps there is one thing that is a <br />little bit confusi~g on the sediment pool. <br />When we speak about sedimentation of reser- <br />voirs there is always the thought that <br />eventually these reservoirs will become <br />filled with sediment. This is true; <br />eventually they will and no matter what <br />reservoir you build or where, eventually it <br />will become filled with sediment at some <br />future time, unless measures are taken to <br />pump the sediment out. <br /> <br />I <br />
