<br />District and energy companies, primarily oil shale companIes, <br /> <br />had been formed about a year ago for the purposes of <br /> <br />conducting a White River management study. The intent was to <br />solicit a contributIon of $15,000 from each of the companies <br /> <br />and the DIstrict in order to pay for a study which would <br /> <br />examine the opportunities to develop a coordinated system of <br /> <br />water storage and delivery facilities in the WhIte River <br /> <br />basin. Mr. McDonald noted that the Yellow Jacket District <br /> <br />had made application to the Water Board to use $15,000 from <br /> <br />the construction fund toward the proposed feasibility study, <br /> <br />but that he had taken the position that Section 37-60-122 <br /> <br />(1)(c) did not permit the Board to partIcipate in the <br /> <br />proposed feasibility study since the proposed study was not <br /> <br />for a project which the Board could expect to fund in whole <br /> <br />or in part with monies from the construction fund. <br /> <br />Mr. Kroeger then called upon Mr. Frank Cooley, attorney <br /> <br />for the Yellow Jacket District, who expanded upon the <br /> <br />purposes of the proposed study and the desire of the entities <br /> <br /> <br />Involved to include the State, acting through the Water <br /> <br />Conservation Board, in the proposed study. Mr. Cooley <br /> <br />indicated that he was hopeful that the bill which contained <br /> <br />the direction to the Board to perform a feasibility study of <br /> <br />the Yellow Jacket project would be enacted into law, <br /> <br />whereupon the District would proceed accordIngly to take <br /> <br />advantage of that opportunity. Should that fail, Mr. Cooley <br /> <br />indicated that he would appreciate~the opportunity to speak <br />
